The ending was unnecessary and a bit heavy handed, for sure, but they telegraphed it through most of the episode.
Personally, I was more annoyed by the continued relationship bickering between Clara and Mr Pink. I think both are decent actors and I actually like both characters, but the bickering is so unnatural. No sane person would begrudge their significant other going into space and ing TRAVELING THROUGH TIME. Especially on the flimsy and forced grounds that there is some kind of romantic feelings between Clara and the doctor, which there has not been at all since he last regenerated.
It is just like before the end of this episode. What kind of idiot would turn down a once in a lifetime chance to travel into space? Not train for months and months, ride on a shuttle, and do a space walk, but literally travel into space and just open the door?
And how are the kids the main priority, yet you are going to pass up an opportunity to save their lives, just because they would miss their parents? You know who also missed their parents, every child that has ever been saved from a disaster or wartime situation, but no one said 'oh, don't save them, they will miss their parents if we don't let them die'.
I really hope that the chick in the teaser at the end of each episode is going to be the focus of next series and they aren't going to blow the whole thing by wasting her in the finale. That is a lot of empty hyping to only give her a single episode.
All and all, this series has been meh at best. There were some good episodes, but overall, it was very disappointing. Maybe if the UK had full seasons of 22 episodes it could have gotten good, but with only one or two episodes left, I don't see my opinion changing on that.
