The ending was just so 'perfect', and I admit I have a thing for gothic-like fiction. The addition of London and Jack the Ripper made me giggle insanely, though the bits about Mary and Elizabeth was a bit 'WTF?!' I like Part 3 for all the reasons you stated, but it is just for some reason part 2 worked for me in so many ways. (It is completely understandable! Any sane woman would fall for Joseph no matter the age.)

I ♥ the STANDS! They are the BESTEST thing SINCE CHEESE! When Silver Chariot got CHANGED I was LIKE 'OMFG!!!! LOVE!!! SQUEEEE!' Though I am a bit pissed about the fact we got cheated out of seeing Jotaro as a child *pouts*.
