River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Also, I'm pretty sure that the hand in a jar is going to play a big role in the Doctor's regeneration .
Edit: And did I mention,
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!!!

NOESSSSSSSSSS!!!!
I feel like I'm missing a lot with not having watched the Sarah Jane show. Like, did she adopt, or is it timey-wimey stuff? And, Mr. Smith the computer?
good god I knew something horrible was going to happen once the Doctor saw Rose and they started running towards each other! Jeez, they'll pull anything to keep those two crazy kids from making out, up to and including shooting the doctor dead!

Doctor Who:
At around the 19 minute mark, did anyone else notice the heartbeat sound that played while Donna was sitting on the stairs and that gradually changed to what sounded like two hearts beating ever so slightly out of synch?

thanks, Dana! *facepalm*
Anna, I noticed that heartbeat, right before she gets consoled on her future loss, gah!
I was a little disappointed in the Shadow Proclamation. I was expecting more wisdom and mystery and a plethora of different aliens. If I was going to be given a reality check on the inaneness and bloodthirst of such an institue, I sort of wish that the Doctor had the same reaction that I did prior to his "Yeah, sure, let me get you a key...PSYCH!!!"

Juliebird, I, too was a little disappointed that something as cool-sounding as "the Shadow Proclamation" turned out to be little more than "L&O: Space Time Continuum".

I think more than the bland set design I was put off by the "neener neener, you thought you were so all-knowing but you're really dumb and we know more than you, neener neener, even if we believed you were real."
I just thought that the Shadow Proclamation to be more sophisticated and... smarter... than that.
Now, if they'd set up our introduction to them with a wry undercutting of those expectations, then I'd be alright with it.

HMOG!!! I did not expect that!! I don't wanna wait a week! And I want to know what's up with the heartbeat, too! I thought I was just reading into the background sounds until others mentioned it. Daleks! Regeneration! It's too much!

Okay, I'll quit abusing the exclamation marks.
