And the Doctor says "Doesn't need saying.", right? As opposed to the waffling "Does it need saying?"

Because I've seen a lot of the latter in posts here and there, but I keep hearing the former, which I like better. Because it's a stand, a firm declarative statement. He's not asking her, he's telling her.

Sail, the brogue seems to subtley start with "You've got to" in response to Rose's whinging about not beig going back to the parrallel universe after trying so hard to find him, and kicks into full gear with "We've saved the universe, but at a cost, and the cost is him" and reappears briefly when he says "born in battle".

I mean, I'd marry a fat, mysoginistic, abusive man so long as he had red hair and spoke with a brogue, but it's just not the Doctor's voice! Granted, his slip of the accent is probably due to that scene being filmed with the failing light and rising tide.

Why, yes, it is!

I guess in the end what I hated about this ep was necessary in order for what I loved about it to happen. And perhaps vice versa (like, I wouldn't have gotten all the companions piloting the TARDIS if they hadn't all been involved, deadweight or not. Well, except Jackie. Really, her entire presence amounted to the butt-end of a mean joke? "No. Just, no."?!) There's no easy fix without starting from scratch.

This is the entire teaser trailer but it looks like there is something with more.

And this one has the teaser and some set-pictures.

"born in battle".

Aha! I caught it in the "born". The brogue almost got away with him completely on that word.

"Does it need saying?"

That's what I heard. And what he had to say. If he'd said the other, then he may as well have stayed, and he couldn't.

Interesting bit of cut dialogue. [link]

That's not Samantha, Jack, that's her sister Serena!

I think that they should have left that dialogue in.

I wonder if, by not killing Donna outright, they are leaving an open door for a possible return?

And are we to think that the River woman is the daughter/descendent of OtherTen and Rose?

hate the end

it was well done , but I hate it.

I have to admit -- I can't think of how/where to end her memories so she won't know what she lost. But I don't like it. There should be a gain or a change. So she can have one more life . Or let her life end. ( she would have had two -- that is more than most of us get) Humans do have the gene of sacrifice. and so far all Donna's lives have ended with sacrifice for the world. Why should a third be different?
