Yes, I was thinking a bit about the end of New Who season 1 as a contrast point as well, though I haven't seen it recently. Am I right in remembering that there is at least some dialogue around the unfortunate side-effects of the Doctor's plan? Like him and / or Rose struggling with the issue but reluctantly agreeing that it is the only choice? I seem to remember that people like Rose, Jack and Lynda also actively choose to remain on the station and help to defend it against the Daleks to help buy the Doctor more time, even though they know that that will almost certainly mean death for them - a rather different approach from Amy's. Obviously the ultimate result is genocide, as you say, but my memory of that story is that the moral issues were at least engaged with properly, rather than just swept aside as though they were insignificant like in last night's episode.
