It probably sets up something similar to "Voyage of the Damned," where he is indeed alone at the time, but ends up having a 'companion' tag along with him for this adventure, similar to Astrid.

I wonder if his Planet of the Dead companion will die driving the galaxy's slowest. fork. lift. ever. off a conveniently placed drop, in one of the most un-dramatic deaths since records began?
heh heh, it was a bit of an Austin Powers' 'NOOooooo!' moment wasn't it?
Yeah! Now I come to think of it, every "goody" death in that whole special felt really forced and unintentionally hilarious.
Having said that, I loved it on the second viewing. Despite the messianic imagery (oh come on Russell, angels lifting him to the heavens? Fuck you!).

Agreed. Hell just look at the "The Next Doctor". Seen in the beginning and not till the very end do we go back to it.
Does anyone else get the impression that this will have something to do with how Doc 10 will eventually pass on?
God, I hope the "dark forces" don't turn out to be "yet more fucking Daleks".
Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn't it been said that the Doctor could bring the Tardis to him with his Tardis-key and his sonic screwdriver? Or maybe I am just remembering something else.
If he doesn't have a way to summon it, considering he is the last of the Time Lords, he should have some emergency way of bringing it back to him. Doesn't seem like this would be impossible to rig up.
well he can call the TARDIS to him if he has hunon particles handy, what he did with the one he got in The Runaway Bride I dont know, but I assume he has kept them.
more over we have found out that he can open the TARDIS doors with the click of his fingers, its possible that could be developed into him using his mind to call the TARDIS either to him, or give him an idea of where the TARDIS is located.
The Rani could summon her Tardis I think.
in that case we probaly should not have the Doctor doing that, it will only lead to a fresh round of "The Doctor is the Rani" threads.
lol whut?
you most know have seen the "any new female cahracter is the Rani" threads on DWF/OG? if the Doctor starts acting like the Raini, threads will be made.
He did that to reconstruct the interior dimensions in "Father's Day", but there's no evidence that he could summon the TARDIS that way under convention circumstances.
I just assumed that was (at least partly) intentional, the better to make it look like The Poseidon Adventure or The Towering Inferno, or any disaster film that Voyage of the Damned was echoing.
Convention circumstances? Such as when the Doctor is trapped at a Creation Con and needs the TARDIS to escape before he's crushed under thee weight of all those fees and charges?
^Unless he had a "Staten-Eye Remote Control" (?) like in The Two Doctors. He could bring the TARDIS with a whistle...
"Stattenheim," I think (the Second Doctor has one, and the Sixth says he's always wanted one of those). Also referenced in The Mark of the Rani.
Pish by design or just plain pish still equals pish.
