The only thing I really liked was the bitchy dialogue between the Daleks and Cybermen, that was beautifuly surreal.
Oh, and I really want a good fic where trapped!Rose realises that Mickey and Jake have been shacked up together for the last three years... That'd learn her!
Even OH (who has not liked either new Doctor) commented on the snark between them. I found the bit with the 'family' a bit Mills and Boone (not that I have ever read any). Is it as surprise that Thomas Hardy is my favourite author? More realistic endings (though in the case of Jude, just too brutal).
It was a bit too tidy, wasn't it? But it was kind of what was needed - get rid of Rose and you HAVE to get rid of Mickey and Jackie. It could have been a little less mawkish, though.
I think I would have not made the retching noises if they'd left out the new baby. Rose getting a version of her Dad is just unbelievable to me. He is not her Dad - just someone who looks like him.
I think I need to go and learn how to structure a sentence! *blushes*
I think they could have still done the ending without the parents involved at all - and had Mickey as the one pulling her through...perhaps had them tracking the Cybermen from their dimension to another and then to the 'real world' (hence pseudo-daddy is explained away). This is far too convoluted I'm sure and one of the very many reasons that RTD earns his living the way he does and I do what I do.
