I'm wondering what Lucy's connection to the whatsamagigit aliens is. She just seems odd.
I can't figure out if she's just naturally odd, or if the Master did something to her. I did find it interesting that he referred to her as his "perfect companion" at one point. "Companion" is usually used to refer to those traveling with the Doctor.
And what's with the drumming? I still don't get that even though the beat is now stuck in my brain.
My understanding is it's a signal being broadcast throught the Archangel network via mobile phones. The signal not only used a subliminal message to get people to vote for Saxon, but also masked his presence from the Doctor whenever he'd been on present-day earth during the same time period as the Master.
Finally, in the trailer for next week's ep was that Adam from Series 1 running with Martha?
I couldn't tell, but I could tell that they used the same person to voice the Toclafane that they used for the Gelth back in season one's The Unquiet Dead. Not sure if that indicates a continuity with that episode or not, but it could.
The Toclafane say to the Master at one point, "We have to escape. Because it's coming, sir. The Darkness. The never-ending darkness. And the terrible, terrible cold. We have to run, and run, and run..."
This might tie into Torchwood's They Keep Killing Suzie, in which Suzie says to Gwen, "There's something out there. In the dark. And it's moving." Later, when she pulls the tube from her father, she says, "Oh, that's worth coming back for. Sending him into the dark. Just what the bastard deserves."
And then right before her death says, "There's something moving in the dark and it's coming, Jack Harkness. It's coming for you."
Jack also has a line in that episode (and yes, I'm Googling instead of rewatching to find the quotes) about trying to use the glove to revive someone, "You just sort of feel. Like reaching into the dark. Finding the dead."
So could the "wrongness" with Jack both the Doctor and the TARDIs were fleeing from be something this "darkness" is coming for?
Oh, and another interesting tidbit I discovered. "Professor Yana" said he was found as a child "on the coast of the Silver Devastation." This was mentioned in season one's The End of the World, when The Face of Boe was introduced by the Steward as "our friend from the Silver Devastation." The Face of Boe was the one who "named" Yana with his final words to the Doctor "you are not alone." Interesting coincidence, no?
