The whole episode to me was what happens when people have control issues.
The Captain especially. I wouldn't want to work with her. No flexibility whatsoever. And committing suicide (I refuse to call it sacrifice...Sacrifice would be to blow the Mars station up to save Earth) to make sure your progeny would be the ones to go out into space? Talk about ego. The Doctor cheated her out of her noble sacrifice, so she got her way by shooting herself. Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face. Why not be there with your daughter and granddaughter and lead by example? Then again, as rigid as she was, perhaps its better this way. Who knows how the granddaughter would have turned out if she had known her grandmother?
Can you tell I didn't like her? It's one thing to be professional and another to be a control freak.
And what was with the Doctor in the last 10 minutes? I wonder it it was in reaction to how bitchy the Captain was, that he had to be just as bitchy? It was like a pissing match. Did the Master 'leap' into him during the trip back to Earth? I agree it was too sudden. It would have been better to lead up to his epiphany gradually.
