I didn't like Eccleston very much in the first couple of episodes,
either, but I have to admit he really grew on me a lot and I'll miss him
not being there for the next series.

To answer the original question YEA the ending was magnificent.  The Bad
Wolf "deus ex machina" was totally undexpeted and the episode spoke to drama
and emotions while still full of amazing CGI of flying Daleks.

I think Mr Tennant has a big set of shoes to step into and I am personally
not sanguine about it, but then again I have not seen him in anything as I
can'g find Casanova anywhere this side of the Atlantic.

However the best Dr Who episodes this year were the two parter The Empty
Child and The Doctor Dances... Now that was amazing writing.
