I thought the episode construction was a bit of a dog’s dinner – there were elements I didn’t much like (glowy Doctor, aged Doctor, and I Believe in the Doctor), but had the episode been better structured (i.e. written by someone else or had the attentions of a good script editor), I could see the same elements working much more effectively. They need not have been the problems that they were in the way that they were.
Mind you, having some years as the object of a particular unrequited love, I have little sympathy for the “Would it have been expecting too much for the Doctor to acknowledge it a bit” argument, because my answer is “Yes, it really would”.
