We watched all three parts of the finale on Sunday night and had a great time.
Doctors kissing assistants is still wrong even if it's a human copy of the doctor. I was never hugely fond of the Rose character and I like her even less when she's presented as the Doctor's One Twoo Wuv. Thank goodness they didn't play up Martha's jealousy of her... but what a crying shame that Donna, the one assistant who didn't go gaga over him, has been written out of any comebacks. Especially since Catherine Tate was so damned good at doing Tennant-Doctor.
I was thrilled to see everybody coming back though. Sad that Penelope Wilton got offed so quickly, but great to see that character redeemed, and the running gag, "Yes, we know who you are," was cheesy but I loved it. Mickey's return made up for the fact that we had to sit through Rose again, and I was overjoyed that while Rose got packed back off to the alternate universe, Mickey got to stay in ours. I also quite like Jackie--particularly the bit where the doctor refused to let her take part in driving the Tardis.
Captain Jack is always good stuff, and while I've only had a little experience with Sarah Jane (I've not seen her spin-off and only a handful of her original episodes), she did very well this episode. That necklace she had--was that taken from Classic Who or is it a retcon?
Oh, and Captain Jack's what-I'm-thinking line was pure gold. Ha!
Anyway, while I'm not a huge Dalek fan (I know they're the classic Who villain, but do they really have to show up every damned series?) I enjoyed the episodes overall. Definitely a great end to the Season. Just... shame about poor Donna.
