The concept was good (the dark, the Doctor/River metbutnotmet thing, + the 'ghosting' that makes it difficult to tell the dead from the living), but the end of the second bit seemed too Rustified. They all lived happily ever after in a computer thanks to a WEIRDO sonic screwdriver (like the Doctor gave her his - he obviously built it specifically for the purpose.
One thing that bugged me a bit - the Doctor's better off alone. Alright, sometimes he needs someone to control him (as Donna identified in TRB) but he can't have ties, definitely not a WIFE. I think that was part of Rusty's influence, too - trying to make it clear that he is capable of love [even if, technically, he already knows it's going to happen] so that when Rose comes back Rusty can fuck the whole thing up. I swear, he better not ruin my Mickey coming back.
But yeah, totally agree - worst Moff, but still pretty damn good in comparison to some.
And the invisible scary darkness?? It worked so much better than the crappy doodles (practically) that were used as the monster in The Lazarus Experiment - which just made me think 'oh god, where did the budget go?' rather than OHSOSCARED, which the dust did.
