"As a huge Martha Jones fan, I could not help but applaud when the Doctor spent a considerable portion of the episode talking about her, looking sad, and being down on himself for screwing things up. I knew he recognised her awesome!"
Yes! That pleased me so, so much, and made me feel a lot more mellow re: Martha's good-bye.
Also, the comedic elements of the episode worked quite nicely, I think. Since Dr. Who's Kid TV roots are always quite visible, I tend to prefer the few more tightly written drama or horror plots (The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, Human Nature/Family of Blood, but also Blink and the Season Three Finale Two-Parter), but Tate's talent is obvious; she and Tennant play off each other quite marvellously.
