Ha! Adult Brem babbles because he was saving it up. :-)
Well, it's the planet of the sweets, so it does have fudge, it's just that it's really only Matt who's a special fan of the fudge.
You know, the idea of the TARDIS baby-sitter was kind of a cop-out, but I needed the ability to give the Doctor and Rose alone time, and it's not like they can get a real baby-sitter all that easily. But I think it works out and makes sense!
I am one of three children, and I've always thought it's the perfect number, so it's what I gave the Doctor and Rose. Also, I had three names that I wanted to use. ;-)
You're very right, Brem's entire journey is a journey toward restoring his faith in his father, this time with his eyes wide open and full acknowledgment of his father's limitations. But he really does reach that point. He doesn't forgive the Doctor because he thinks the Doctor needs him. In a way, he forgives the Doctor because *he* needs *the Doctor.* He adores his father, and he eventually is able to acknowledge that. And, more importantly, he *respects* his father, and that makes all the difference for him.
And yeah, Brem would eventually have had to face something like he faced at the age of four. He was just too young for it, he was ill-equipped to face it. He just wanted his father to fix the world for him, and his father couldn't, his father needed Brem to do it, and it was a rude awakening for Brem.
