Hehe, I do seem to be kind of alone on the "didn't really like it" front, but there isn't much I can do about that. The ghosting scene with Evangelista is particularly odd, because I don't think it really did anything for Donna's character that we haven't already seen. She got lots of depth with the Ood, and in "Fires of Pompeii," and Evangelista was just such a footnote character that spending so much time on her death scene seemed like much ado about nothing. Morbid, even, like when the Doctor tried to reconstitute Astrid.

But then again, it could just be that I'm feeling prickly and short on patience for that emotional stuff right now.

Either way, I'm not usually on the fandom fringe like this. I think I'll explore a little. ;-)
