I just didn't think it had the same pull as the first part. I too was thnking Mrs Moore would be a kick ass companion. The emotional bit for me was actually the Cybermen with their emotional detachments reattachted. I was bawling like a small beaten child. And of course the les go tumbling back through the impossible hole i just happen to have the ability to fix scene. That had me bawling too.

Roses reaction to Mickey staying certianly has the potential to allow for her to ease up on her possesiveness of the Doctor and brood for Mickey. Or one can hope so anyway.

The issues i had, as many other i've seen in some fo the reviews. Why is it bad juju for Rose to look up Pete (and Jackie) but it's perfectly acceptable for Mickey to stay behind and take care of Rickey's gran? The cliffhanger resolve was almost laughable. And the whole traveling like we did is impossible. It was a fluke, but flukes happen, and it could happen again. i dont' know. It was just a bit of a let down.
