The Doctor tricking Rose is a very well done scene. He acts as if he's just figured something out off the cuff of what Rose just said and then as Rose is kept busy in the Tardis he runs out and comes to an abrupt stop. It's a good subversion of the "doctor will magically solve everything" trope.
I agree we needed a bit more from the Daleks being behind the scenes on earth. We get that from Rose/Bad Wolf's meddling in history, and the spreading of the message around, but we didn't really see much about what the Daleks really did throughout history. Which is odd because at one point we hear a human say they died off ages ago - so humans at this point in time know what Daleks are... but we the audience have no clue for the context.
