Perhaps a second viewing would clear things up a bit, but in this case I think it would only serve to piss me off.

Anyway, I guess they can't all be great.
I felt this way to start the show, but IMHO it really played out incredibly well. It may be in part to my having read the Time War series by Simon Hawke as a kid. So the episode really fit nicely into that series and was a bit like getting one of those novels in TV form.

The performances of the actors was amazing and despite my not wanting to like the episode once I realized where it was going, it turned out amazing.
