I really love this bit: Then it's time for the bargaining. They haven't planned it. No need, really. The Doctor haggles like an old horse-trader when he wants to, and Jack could probably sell pickled eggs to a Slitheen.
Rose's job varies, depending on the planet and the situation: distraction, silent observer, asker of inconvenient questions. This time around, she has to swing the deal in the A'atrans' favour without making them suspicious.
You show them working together so well that's it's an extra jolt when the Doctor reverts to ordering Jack around and breaches that three-way trust. I really hope that's not going to come back and bite them in the ass.
Also, the opening scene? Is very hot. In a slightly geeky, very Doctor-ish way. :-)
