2. That was great (again, spoilers)

When they brought in Captain Jack I thought that was going to be the big reveal of the episode, and when he started going on about the "lone cyberman" I thought aha! Ruth is going to end up being the cyberman. And then she turned out to be the Doctor! Crazy.

My son (he's 11) and I were discussing theories about how this new Doctor happened. We decided:

1. She can't be pre-first Doctor, because her Tardis is a police box, and the Tardis wasn't a police box until the first Doctor.

2. She can't be a regeneration after the second Doctor because she doesn't know what a sonic screwdriver is, and every Doctor from the second had one of those.

So... either it's a parallel universe Doctor (likely) or a future Doctor (less likely).
