Now that I've seen the last three episodes of Series Two, I will admit that...I was wrong. Shocking.
The last half of the series was better than the first. After the Cybermen episodes, it seemed to hit it's stride. That said, there were some sour notes and episodes that were rubbish (New Earth, Idiot's Latern, Fear Her).
But the series finale...I'm ashamed to said it made me cry. Jackie ends up happily with Pete...Micky's around. What his status is with Rose is uncertain, but I like Micky, so even Platonic Micky is better than No Micky. But Rose doesn't have the Doctor anymore and it broke her heart. Made me sniffle, too.
So, in conclusion: I don't take back my harsh criticism of the weak story telling that plague Series Two, but it did stick the ending. Now that I can see the entire structure of the story arc...The episodes with reoccuring villians or themes (Cybermen, the Void space, Torchwood) were enjoyable. And the way all the plot lines tied up nicely at the end was terrific. Good job.
Side Note: Andy Suggested making our own happier ending with little drawings of Rose and the Doctor glue to popcicle sticks. "The Doctor managed to save me, now I'm not trapped in an alternate universe!" Or some such rot.
