Summary:
The Doctor, Rose and Adam land on Sattelite 5, which broadcasts many news channels to the Earth Empire. First they all think it is a fun trip into the future and Rose likes to show Adam around but soon they find out that something is wrong. Mankind is not as advanced as it should be and the whole thing with people being used to broadcast the news is strange for the Doctor. He also wonders about the promotion of some journalists to floor 500 from where they never return. Soon he takes a trip up there with Rose and they meet the Editor who controls the news. They are captured and are about to find out who really controls humankind but they won't like it? Can they save the day without Adam's help who is far too fascinated by the superior technology?
The episode has another dynamic than the episodes before because it is not only the Doctor and Rose who are travelling together but this time they have brought Adam as well. We soon find out that Adam is more interested in the new technology than what is happening around him and that doesn't make him a good companion. Rose and the Doctor have to save the day again and release mankind from slavery but this time they aren't able to do it alone and that is something what I like about this episode. Normally the Doctor always saves the people and this time he has to be saved. The Jagrafass is a great monster and Simon Pegg as the editor is brilliant. I think it's a fun episode even with the monster and it is the first one in which the Doctor leaves one of his companions behind. He has a good reason for it because I think you can't know what Adam would do when he is confronted with still more advanced technology.

Quotes from "The Family of Blood"
Today you get quotes from the second part of the two-parter "The Family of Blood".
Baines/Son of Mine: Would you really pull the trigger? Looks too scared.
Martha: Scared and holding a gun's a good combination, do you want to risk it?
Baines/Son of Mine: We are the Family of Blood.
Baines/Son of Mine: All your little tin soldiers. But tell me sir, will they thank you?
Rocastle: I don't understand.
Baines/Son of Mine: What do you know of history? What do you know of next year?
Rocastle: You're not making sense.
Baines/Son of Mine: 1914, sir. Because the Family has travelled far and wide looking for Mr. Smith and oh, the things we have seen! War is coming. In foreign fields, war of the whole wide world, with all your boys falling down in the mud. Do you think they will thank the man who taught them it was glorious?!
Tim Latimer: (describing the Doctor) He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night, and the storm in the heart of the sun. He's ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time and he can see the turn of the universe. And...he's wonderful.
Jenny/Mother of Mine: He didn't just make himself human. He made himself an idiot.
Baines/Son of Mine: Same thing, isn't it?
Baines/Son of Mine: (narrating) He never raised his voice. That was the worst thing - "the fury of the Time Lord" - and then we discovered why. Why this Doctor, who had fought with gods and demons, why he had run away from us and hidden...He was being kind. He wrapped my father in unbreakable chains forged in the heart of a dwarf star. He tricked my mother into the event horizon of a collapsing galaxy to be imprisoned there, forever. He still visits my sister, once a year, every year. I wonder if one day he might forgive her, but there she is. Can you see? He trapped her inside a mirror. Every mirror. If ever you look at your reflection and see something move behind you just for a second, that's her. That's always her. As for me, I was suspended in time and the Doctor put me to work standing over the fields of England as their protector. We wanted to live forever...so the Doctor made sure we did.
Joan: Where is he... John Smith?
The Doctor: He's in here somewhere.
Joan: Like a story...could you change back?
The Doctor: Yes.
Joan: Will you...?
The Doctor: No.
Joan: (to the Doctor) Answer me this, just one question, that's all: if the Doctor had never visited us, if he had never chosen this place, on a whim.. would anyone have died?
Baines/Son of Mine: Would you really pull the trigger? Looks too scared.
Martha: Scared and holding a gun's a good combination, do you want to risk it?
