andrasteOH MY GOD!!!!!!!!
There are three possible ways to resolve that cliffhanger:
1) He's not really regenerating, or the effect will be forced back in the opening minutes of the episode. This would be a rather unsatisfying resolution, although they could get some mileage out of it if Rose stops the transformation by going all Bad Wolf.
2) He will regenerate and will be Eleven for most of the episode, but the process will be rewound by the end, possibly by aforementioned Bad Wolf effect.
3) Team Cardiff have pulled off the greatest coup in Doctor Who history by giving us surprise regeneration in the age of internet spoilers.
The final option seems unlikely, but would be rather awesome. Not that I wouldn't be devastated to lose David Tennant, but it would be a stunning way for RTD to go out.
Anyway, I spent the entire episode waving my arms and making embarrassing squeaking noises. Rose! Martha! Team Torchwood! Sarah Jane and Luke! HARRIET JONES!!! I loved, loved, loved having her come back and redeem herself, while sticking to her original point that Earth had to look after itself. Also, reference to the Mr. Copper Foundation for the win!
Was glad that in between exterminations they found time for Jack to flirt with Sarah, Gwen to check out the Doctor and Donna to drool over Jack. Possibly they should celebrate their inevitable victory next week with an orgy. (Obviously Luke would not be invited.)
Was also delighted to see Davros back - we've not seen him on the telly for twenty years, so I think it's about time for a triumphant return. You just can't keep a good megalomaniac down.
WHY ISN'T IT NEXT WEEK NOW?

I was really impressed by Davros. He was quite menacing.
The actor does an absolutely uncanny impersonation of Michael Wisher - even without the spoilers and the silhouette, I'd have know who it was immediately.
