I think I disagree and agree with different points on here.
TSE was the most different NuWho ever! I think we should stop saying that this is not Doctor Who when comparing to the Classic Series because we have all known this for 4 series now.
Rewatching it, I enjoy the excitement but some things nag at me. The Project Indigo better get explained a lot more because so far I can see a UNIT guy putting it on and all of a sudden thinking "I wish I could have a coffee, that would wake me up ready to save the world" and he goes to the local Starbucks instead of teleporting on top of the Dalek ship "self-destruct" button. WTF?
Some points Megan made were good, Rose was a bit too KICKASS and I don't think RTD will change her character enough to make her suit her actions because then a lot of people will dislike her.
But How in any way does "facebook" or TO BE CONTINUED affect the story or make the episode any worse. Facebook is a very modern day thing and not the least likely thing for someone to say. TBC . . . so what? Its gonna be big thats what they are saying.

And yet everyone acted like they were the scariest force in the universe.

Thats good news, because they are!
One thing I think RTD did well was Caan, I really think this helped explain the time war more than ever and its interesting to see the Cult of Skaro go from Success to fail to success to fail to success to EPIC fail and then Caan actually to success. I think overall the Cult Of Skaro did it, bringing Davros back. I really want to see the Doctor sympathize with Caan, because that is what our Doctor would do.
SFX, they were good but Who ain't on a Hollywood budget and it has to spread out the money for effects fairly!
I am impressed with this episode but the whole split story-lines (S Proclamation/Earth) was different, interesting but not necessarily brilliant
