I thought Rose "Buffy" Tyler kicked ass. Definetly back on character after last week's excursion.

I love that Who is getting more confident mixing drama and humour, Whedon-style. The "former Prime Minister" lines (do I detect an in-joke for fans?) where spot on

I thought the episode was less bizarrely self-contained, and more brilliantly self-contained while *also* doing its one-of-two job in setting up the finale.

I'm looking forward to more joint screen time from the best of the crew in Rose, Donna, Jack and Tennant.

I was stunned by the ending and couldn't believe - if he is regenerating - that hadn't been all over the rumour mill for weeks.
