"Look, just because I share certain physiological traits with simian primates doesn't make me a monkey's uncle, does it?" ~ The Tenth Doctor
"Because we must. Every child of the machine is born with this knowledge. It's our inheritance. It's all we know. How to fight, and how to die." ~ Jenny

"Donna, I've been a father before. I lost all that a long time ago, along with everything else. When I look at her now, I can see them. The hole they left, all the pain that filled it.

Trivia
====================================
Georgia Moffett is the real-life daughter of Fifth Doctor actor Peter Davison. In 2004 Georgia asked to be considered for the role of Rose Tyler; she also auditioned for a role in The Unicorn and the Wasp. Her appearance comes not long after her father guest-starred in Time Crash. A few months after filming, David Tennant and Georgia Moffett began a romantic relationship. In summer 2010, Moffett became pregnant with the couple's first child, which led to them moving in together and becoming engaged later that year. In March 2011 Moffett gave birth to a daughter named Olive, and she and Tennant married on 30 December 2011. He also adopted her older child.
According to the BBC Podcast Russell T Davies said the original intention was to kill Jenny off at the end of the episode. It was Steven Moffat who expressed the desire to bring her back to life.
According to the book Doctor Who: Companions and Allies, it was the Source that brought Jenny back to life.
Jenny's impressive acrobatics in a corridor full of deadly laser beams was inspired by Britney Spears' Toxic video. Toxic was played during The End of the World.
The two Hath named in credits would appear to be named after famous actors, "Hath Peck" drawing his name from Gregory Peck and "Hath Gable" taking his from actor Clark Gable.
Jenny's story arc throughout this episode is very reminscent of the Biblical story of Christ. She is conceived from the one parent, though the supernatural element is removed in lieu of the progenitor machine. She is also shown to possess physiological attributes reminscent of her father, namely two hearts and advanced intellect. She sacrifices herself and is ultimately resurrected. The frequent references to the Doctor as the "lonely god" help this representation as his daughter as Christ.
