Doctor Who

[karen2205]

I'm confused by this evening's episode/general plot stuff. Spoilers behind cut

Rose absorbed the heart of the Tardis in order to save the day during a war. The Doctor took the Tardis out of her and then regenerated.

Some time while she had the Tardis inside her she issued a warning to herself(?) - Bad Wolf.

Do we know what Bad Wolf means/what it's a warning of? I thought it had been explained a while ago, (maybe in the episode involving Queen Victoria) but now I'm confused?

Has Rose become a/the Bad Wolf? [If so, why would she be issuing a warning to herself that she's going to become evil?]

If Bad Wolf means the end of the universe, then how does that fit with the end of the universe as shown at the end of the previous series, when Martha saves the world by getting everyone to think 'doctor' so that he can escape from the cage the master put him in?

My interpretation

[ewx.livejournal.com]

'Bad Wolf' was previously Rose's message back through time to herself, and only Rose and the Doctor know its significance. So if the message is 'Bad Wolf', the originator must be Rose. If Rose is back in the same universe as the Doctor, then she must have travelled between universes, something we know is difficult even for the Doctor (he was unable to rescue her) and fraught with danger (he disapproved of Torchwood's experiments). Presumably he then infers impending doom from the renewed ease of inter-universe travel.

*nods* - that makes sense re universes leaking being impending doom.
