Rose as a literal deus ex machina. I was underwhelmed. I'd say it was RTD's little literary joke, but I fear he wasn't thinking on that many levels. Although I don't think anyone had picked her as the Bad Wolf, so that's a point to him.
It was a perfectly good not-very-good episode of Doctor Who, no more crap than many other filler episodes over the years. Just really nothing like good enough for a grand season finale. What a waste of pepperpots!
Tennant is going to have one hell of a job following Eccleston. I hope he doesn't end up looking like Davison trying to follow up Baker.
