The only thing I don't believe about this episode is that Thomas Brodie-Sangster is suddenly going to start aging Thank you for revisiting this one. Things would've felt incomplete if it were completely missing ^_^

At first, I thought that she's obviously wrong but it's not her fault and hasn't got the full details. Yet the more I think of it, the more it makes sense. The Doctor will 'die' but live on so he will be almost risk free with his life, so for John Smith to have to choose to actually die for the doctor's recklessness is tragic. I think this ep has a great commentary on how the doctor endagers those around him, even emotionally. Matron has def got it right. If he hadn't chose 1913 school, just to be kind for the family, no one would have died.

I think from an acting breakdown perspective this is one of the most significant episodes in David Tenants entire run. There's so much to play with here. This episode just doesn't stop tugging on the heart strings and it's down to the amazing acting from David, and the actress who plays Joan (although credit to Murray Gold for the score too, because that definitely helps).
