"If you can't handle me at my Steven Moffat, you sure as hell don't deserve me at my Russell T. Davies."
And the plot was shakey because as Ten said IN THE SPECIAL, it shouldn't even be possible for them to be on Gallifrey because it's time locked and its destruction is a fixed point in time. I mean, at least once, if not more than once, a companion has asked him why he didn't just go back in time and save Gallifrey, and he's said it's impossible for him to even be there. The premise of the whole special was just like, wtf. And the fact that they address it IN THE SPECIAL does not make it any better.
I mean, don't get me wrong. I love Doctor Who, and I loved the special. I'm seeing in theatres in 3D tonight. But I can see where there's a ton of problems with it. And while the Doctor won't lose the characterization he already had, him being the last Time Lord was one of the reason he was such an interesting and tragic figure.
