Margaret Slitheen, the person who got turned into an egg, wanted a new beganing, that is why she said thank you just before she was turned into the egg.

So, the TARDIS read Rose's mind and took her back to save the Doctor. I suppose the TARDIS would want to save the Doctor as well.
You see, this must be why I am not a time lords assistant. I can picture it now:

"A BEER? The Doctor is dying trying to save the earth from Daleks 200,000 years in the future!"

"Its not my fault. The Tardis must have read my mind..."

Sci-Fi is full of that type of thing happening.

And it is lame every time it happens.
Yes, it is lame. And there's no excuse. No one makes the writers develop a plot with some totally all conquering indestructable alien fleet that they then have to invent a previously unheard of weapon/whatever to get rid of. It doesn't move anything on or develop any of the characters. If Rose had had to choose between saving the Doctor but dying because of all that time stuff, or staying in 2005 and having a normal life, at least there would have been some drama. Or, I don't know, if she had had the power to destroy the daleks but decided it would be wrong to use it or at least wrestled with whether she should (after all she was the one who wanted to be nice to the dalek in episode 6, how come she suddenly got all genocidal on us, where was that bit of character development?)

Its just bad drama which is shame because some of the development of, say, the doctors character has been quite good. I had the feeling they just rushed into an ending.

Plus (although I don't especially care about consistency if it gets in the way of a good story) we now have the fact that the Tardis can turn people into a god if it likes, which ought to make future plotting a bit more difficult. "Oh no, the cybermen are going to take over the galaxy" "Never mind, have a look under that panel, become all powerful, destroy them, somehow lose all your powers by kissing me , I'll do a bit of regeneration and it will all be OK."

Rubbish. If it had to end with a fight they should have had a huge fleet of time lord ships mysteriously appear and blow them up, leaving us all waiting for series two to find out what actually DID happen in this time war, or anything other than the ending it did have IMHO.
