I figure I said that spoilers would likely pop up in the comments, so people have been fairly warned :)
I wouldn't have minded the Doctor's power trip if it had been more subtle and insidious, but that didn't bother me as much as everything after Adelaide's final act.
There's a difference between foreshadowing and throwing a can of thick black paint over the ending and calling the resulting mess storytelling. I like RTD's work a chunk of the time, but I like his endings way less than half the time.
