I mean, Steven Moffat gave an interview later and said "well the Doctor would NEVER have ended the Time War so OBVIOUSLY I had to undo it". That's massively disrespectful to RTD's enitre era.
Where did he say that? The episode has all three Doctors willing to commit genocide on their own people so that's just not how it actually happened at all.
"He wouldn’t. He wouldn’t. I don’t care what’s at stake, he’s not going to do it. So that was the story - of course he never did that. He couldn’t have. He’s the Doctor, he’s the man who doesn’t do that. He’s defined by the fact that he doesn’t do that. Whatever the cost, he will find another way. So it had to be the story of what really happened that he’s forgotten.”
And then the respect I'd brief gained for Moffat during the episode died once again. THE AUTHOR IS DEAD I INSIST, I DENY YOUR INTENTIONS AND REPLACE THEM WITH MY OWN.
