I've seen a lot of fan commentary about possibly RTD doesn't know any other "good endings" for female characters other than making them into mothers one way or another.
I feel the same about Susan. I so wanted to see her interact with her grandfather again, while we still have the original actress. If things go into hibernation again, who knows when or if it will restart. Such a missed opportunity when they were so close.
I have such a bad feeling this disappointing episode may be the last for at least a bit. There's no announcement of a Christmas special, which is worrisome. The show is always on the edge of cancellation, and had regenerated in it's own way -- the 8th Doctor movie, the nuWho era, Disney era, not to mention the books and audio dramas.
I'm not super thrilled with Piper's involvement again, but if it meant getting more series after that, I'll watch it.
