I'm glad I'm not the only person who really didn't understand what that was all about :)
simple really; he went to say goodbye to them at a time when they needed to be rescued one last time, ie. in the future with a sontaran about to shoot them. and i don't think it was intended as the startign point for a spin-off (although with Torchwood, presumably finished, could be), rather a glimpse of what their lives turned out like before moving on to other characters in the forthcoming series.
and yes, i'm pretty certain it was the 2 who voted against the whole escapade.
as for the angels returning, it makes sense. i had a barney with my flatmate about it earlier; yes the doctor tricked them and trapped them, but only in a cellar with 1 lightbulb which is - inevitably - sooner or later going to go out.
also, looks liek we'll be seeign River Song again (a storylien which i do have my issues with; if hes only meeting her as the 11th incarnation, why does she not understand that the 10th re-incarnation wouldn't be able to recognise her on account of not having met her yet. surely the fact that he looks different to any previous (for her, future, for him and us) possible incarnation woudl make her cotton on to the fact that they hadn't met yet in that particular time line) and the new sidekick seems to be a rather pretty WPC. hey nonny nonny as Bill once said.
