I've rewatched it now, and I've gone with a four. I liked most of it, but I found Clara's family a bit pointless, and the whole thing about the Doctor trying to send Clara away and her coming back seemed very Parting of the Ways, and I certainly don't think we needed it twice in the same story. I did like the way all the mysteries were drawn together and explained (if only via a timey-wimey paradox) and it was interesting seeing the Doctor staying for centuries and growing old.
And I was relieved at the solution to the Doctor Who question. I wouldn't have liked his name to be revealed, and Clara's right - the Doctor is who he is.

I enjoyed it overall, but I did have some doubts, especially about Clara's role. I'm fine with the Time Paradox - I love that kind of thing, and I didn't find the solution to the regeneration issue at all arbitrary - I liked the idea that it was essentially a side-effect of the Time Lords opening the Crack.
I'm going to watch it at least once more before I rate it - at the moment, it would probably be a four, but I want to see if the bits I'm doubtful about grow on me with rewatching.

All interesting theories, although I don't think the "punishment to live" theory works, because that's his punishment if he uses the Moment - which he doesn't.
I agree TB's appearance doesn't make a lot of sense - the Fourth Doctor didn't get that old, and there doesn't seem any reason why he'd be taking something away from the Time War. My assumption is that he's actually meant to be a future Doctor, and they just had Tom playing him for the fans.

Also apologies if things get a bit slack on my end for the next few weeks - we're just going in to our crazy busy time at work (panto!). Oh no you're not (someone had to say it ) Thanks. I think you've covered all the basics - other threads can be added as and when they're needed.
