That seemed awfully familiar in some ways...

Of course, having mined Reaper Man for ideas myself, I might be seeing patterns that aren't there. But I don't think so. Particularly not when there's a cameo by Lord Cut-Me-Own-Throat Sugar doing his bit to make sure that the pretty paperweights are circulated as widely as possible.

And... then there's Kate. I wondered if that was who she was the moment she first showed up, and indulged in the requisite fannish squee when she fessed up. Taking a fan's privilege to interpret every nuance of a show as a veiled slight by the showrunner to his predecessor, I'll read her new policies as a slap on the wrist to the all-guns-blazing UNIT that RTD was so fond of. Though Doctor/Brigadier shippers may not like their ship being officially sunk; and is the hereditary principle really the best way to appoint a new head of UNIT?

(It should have been Liz :-( )

I did think it was kind of familiar, but I was thinking of the daffodils in "Terror of the Autons". There was a whole lot of Three homage going on in this episode, wasn't there?
