Good overview -- and yes, yes, yes on all points. I'm willing to overlook the stereotyped and frankly unrealistic extra passengers in favor of Tennant's portrayal of the vulnerable (if not helpless) Doctor. Wow. He's always been cute in an adorkable way. Season 3 convinced me he could play angst and dark. This one convinced me that he can really go into subtle, emotional, nuanced drama. Frighteningly powerful.
Don't do that again, RTD. Having him lifeless and repetitive was awful.
And utterly amazing. I'm sorry he's caught up in yet another self-sacrifice that he couldn't stop (ala VotD - gak). That's getting old. But I'm also afraid it's setting a pattern that'll catch Donna before we're done. I expect to rant and spit quite a bit if (when) that happens in a few eps.
That said, "lifeless" seems to be what we're getting in the next episode!
