(psychic paper; an alien race that are nothing but ideas; A woman who's had so much plastic surgery she's nothing but a piece of skin; tree people giving cuttings of their relatives as gifts; 'earth-death is scheduled for 15:39, followed by drinks in the Manchester Suite'; the year 5.5/apple/26;)
RTD has gone all out to make the future seem truly alien.
There was some more emotional stuff too, for the Doctor this time, which was great to see, and very poignant. The hints about the fate of Gallifrey were mouth watering

It seemed to me like the Time Lords had been destroyed in the past, before getting the chance to become time-travellers, and were therefore wiped from existence
I thought the costumes, sets and FX were all of a high standard. For those wondering, they were a mix of CGI and model work.
All in all: A+. Except for the Britney Spears music in one key sequence. Ouch.
