I'd say the reason the Hath's lines weren't translated was because they were telepathic? With the Ood, yes, but that was when they had the translator ball to make them verbal if I recall right
( ... )
Hmmm... never thought of them being telepathic, very good possibility! That will help me hand-waive actually hearing the Hath actor speak lines in the behind the scenes stuff. (btw, I cannot recommend the confidential enough on this episode)
There was a theme of give and take between Jenny and the Doctor through the episode (one becoming more peaceful and the other more battle-oriented). So, you are right, I can see wrath taking control of him. The thing with the Harriet Jones incident is that he used words to bring her down, not a weapon. He's much too much of... the Doctor to use a weapon if there is a choice.
I am also glad you mentioned him maybe using the weapon to try and speak their language, since they are all so familiar with using weapons. That will help me accept the action a bit more as him just trying to get his point across.
Perhaps I put him in too high a pedestal, lest he tumble off and break. :)
