Don't remember the gun or what it does. Good catch!
Although I haven't seen it used by Jack, I do recall that in "Silence In the Library / Forest of the Dead" River uses it to cut a square-shaped passageway through library walls.
Another of these details that I didn't notice the first time around .... occasionally you see a Post-It note stuck on the perimeter of a monitor on the Tardis. There is always an image drawn on it, but the image changes each time the Post-it is seen. Now, I have no idea how many times these appear, but I do know that I've seen it at least twice and there were two different images. Significant? Not that I recall, but I could easily have missed something.

Jack uses the square gun in his very first appearance.
I think they're just little notes. The little circles are gallifreyan text.
How about this for a cool bit of foreshadowing. In Blink during the scene in the video store where Larry goes to get The List -- after Sally has her first conversation with the video Doctor, Larry comes back carrying a clipboard upon which -- for no apparent reason -- is a sticker for the White Star Line. The White Star Line was the company back in 1912 that owned and operated ... the Titanic. If it wasn't intended as a reference to Voyage of the Damned, it's a heck of a coincidence!

Here's an interesting one and I have to credit Frazer Hines and Derrick Sherwin for this: In episode three of The War Games, The Second Doctor pulls out his recorder, pulls off one end and uses it as a spyglass! I had never noticed that until Hines and Sherwin pointed it out on the commentary track. Troughton was a genius.

You suck.
What! Why? It's not a major spoiler or anything. I've seen the serial several times over and I never caught it on my own.You suck.Here's an interesting one and I have to credit Frazer Hines and Derrick Sherwin for this: In episode three of The War Games, The Second Doctor pulls out his recorder, pulls off one end and uses it as a spyglass!

I think he did that in The Invasion, too.
As for the corner in Father's Day and Parting of Ways....pretty mean means Rose lived in that are all her life.
I wanna see the bit where the Dr. got her a red bike for X-mas as a kid.

I'm just amazed Troughton carried it around with him, even though it had stopped being written into scripts ages ago.
Which just goes to show what a great actor he was.I'm just amazed Troughton carried it around with him, even though it had stopped being written into scripts ages ago.Here's an interesting one and I have to credit Frazer Hines and Derrick Sherwin for this: In episode three of The War Games, The Second Doctor pulls out his recorder, pulls off one end and uses it as a spyglass!

Oh, wow, I never noticed that.

Oh I loved that bit, it's just so throwaway and I love Billie's reaction!
Probably the primary reason was to let them use the same sets! There's actually some contradiction-- in "Aliens of London", Albion is called the closest hospital to the crash site, yet in "The Empty Child" it's clearly nowhere near the Thames. Plus, the Royal Hope Hospital should be closest, since according to "Smith and Jones" it's in the location of the real-life St. Thomas.

Exactly. Plus it would be neat to see little Rose (the girl playing her in father's day was adorable) meet the Dr and or Captain Jack, since Jack told the Doc that he kept an eye on her during the 1990's, to make sure she was safe.
One thing about The Five Doctors that bothers me. When Doc #1 and Susan walks into the TARDIS for the first time, and Doc #5 sees Susan....he was like "Eh, no biggy"....yet he has not seen her for at LEAST 300 years. Doc #2 said he was 450 in Tomb of the Cybermen, and 750 in Pyramids of Mars, and I bet at least several more decades between and after those times....I would have though the Doc would have been nearly in tears and thrown his arms around Susan. Anyone else feel the same about this part?
