I was very dissatisfied with the episode on first viewing (for many reasons, one of which was that it felt more like a Time War special than a celebration of 50 years of the show, there were nods to the classic period, but the focus was intensely on the new). But after I'd written out all that dissatisfaction (which I'm not going to post) I watched it again and felt at peace with the choices that had been made and was able to enjoy it for what it is rather than longing for what I'd hoped for. I mean, I already knew going in that I don't much like Moffat's showrunning style, so none of the flaws and plot holes came as a surprise, at least.
I adore The Five Doctors, but that's far from perfect, as well. So I've decided to focus on the good and just live with the bad!
