Loved it. It was fun, cheesy at times, but also down to earth where it mattered. Also a big fan of RTD giving a big middle finger to everyone who complained about Jodie's era being too "woke." I find it kinda funny that RTD did more with a female doctor in one episode than Chibnal did in 3 years, and he didn't even have a female doctor.
Only complaint is the resolution to the metacrisis where they just get rid of it. Feels a bit hand-wavy and also the one thing in the episode that I felt was a bit preachy. Loved the stuff before it though, with Rose inheriting it.
Of course it was hand-wavey. It's RTD's Doctor Who. :)
Chalk it up to the DoctorDonna needing fifteen years or so to finish the calculation that would solve her problem, which it turns out needed two processors running in parallel.
