It was grim, the Doctor drove someone to suicide with his attitude! Also, the OOCness of Ten pretty much over shadows the entire previous 45 mintues. Most people's coversations and reviews about this episode are more about what the Doctor did, and how OOC it was, ect, than about the monsters, or the people who died.
I'm not saying what Ten did was really OOC. We've always been shown he has a dark side. This just seemed to have mixed that darkness with some (hopefully temporary) pent up insanity from a blend of survivor's guilt and being forced to try and do what was right with Adelaide and her team.
It is just really following the same sort of CoE path. And while - unlike with Ianto - I can cope with the Doctor dying, because we know it's coming, I really don't want to be hating what he has become when he does. It also seems like RTD is wanting to break the Doctor in the same way he did with Jack :/
