I'm replying also to the comments from the other thread, FYI. I haven't done any actual analysis of this season yet. Exciting.
Firstly, a question. Where did we get "something on Donna's back" from "Fires of Pompeii"? I didn't catch that. As for the bees, in the general season four trailer there's an episode with giant bees somewhere, looking like the 20's with a blonde chick, so while I don't think it's going to be a major point of the season, I do think it'll show up eventually.
With Gpa Wilf saying "Doctor" at the end of "Partners In Crime," I don't know that he actually says it (though it's entirely possible), but I just assumed it was recognizing him from "Voyage of the Damned." Maybe not, though.
As for Rose coming back and the planets getting lost, I keep thinking that this season's going to end up somehow involving the Void opening back up, which would potentially also involve the cybermen and Daleks that were trapped there, but I don't really see them doing that again, especially so soon. There was also an opening at the end of the last season, with someone (presumably Lucy?) pulling the Master's ring out of the ashes of the pyre, so it's always game for him to come back, I guess. (Also hilarious re: the Master, in the "Time Crash" episode, when Five asks Ten if the Master's still got that "rubbish beard" Ten says, "No--well, a wife." I love it.)
For some reason during "Fires of Pompeii," when the Sisters had the prophecy of the Blue Box, for some reason I thought it had something to do with Rose. I think something's gone wrong with the Void being closed, and things are disappearing into it? Bees and planets, maybe?
The one thing I've thoroughly enjoyed about Who since I got into it is the way it incorporates everything, from every spin-off it's had. This past episode, with the Tardis getting hi-jacked? Capt. Jack's hand-in-bubbles was going all kinds of crazy, which I guess can signal the appearance of another Time Lord (as in the daughter?) so. I don't know.
All in all though, I am digging this season hardcore.
