Oh, my guess is that it's nature rather than nurture in such matters. But he still might have a tendency toward hairdressing as a future career rather than train driver.
I assume that the part was originally written for a girl, but was changed to avoid similarities to "Fear Her". Perhaps it was an oversight during reworking. I guess Lonemagpie's reasoning that it was a hand-me-down from the mother might work -- however, I would have been mortified to have been given a girl's toy for fear of ridicule from my peers. However, if you're as poor as George's parents appear to be, I guess you take anything you're given and are grateful.
I would think being a hair dresser might pay better than being a train driver.
Maybe in the UK, but TGV drivers in France are very well paid.
... and then the following week, you'd get a "let's torture the O'Brians" episode ...
... followed the next week by a pointless Trill whodunnit ...
Hey, there's an echo in here!
Perversely perhaps, but the Ferengi episodes were about the only ones I consistently enjoyed from DS9. To come back to the Doctor, I enjoyed the episode. It would have been a welcome break from the arc material if we hadn't just come from the mid-season hiatus. Here it just felt like the new season came to a dead stop right out of the gate. All in a a fun episode but I will be happy moving on and not revisiting any of it's material.

Ok I'll stop now!
The idea of a standalone horror episode is awesome. But, we didn't get a complete one. The ending was poor.

It managed to avoid referencing the Olympic Games
"Fear Her" is about abusive parents and "Night Terrors" is about the fear of abandonment? "Fear Her" is a classic melodrama told through metaphors while "Night Terrors" is a haunted house story? "Fear Her" has the Doctor and his companion very much in love while in "Night Terrors", the Doctor barely ever shares the screen with his companions?
Fear Her, the child is revealed to bad from the beginning, Night Terrors hides this for a decently effective twist.
Cant think of anything I really liked... or disliked.
As with most of series six, Ive found the concepts interesting enough, but very poorly told. Lots and lots of things happen, then we find out whats going on and theres a convenient ending.
Also, wish we could have a 'lighter' episode. People killing their doubles, the doctor is a 'warrior', people made from bits of other people, scary dolls, even Black Spot was pretty dark...
Id just like a fun episode again.
