The doors close for Clara with a snap of her fingers now? Does the Tardis suddenly like her? Intriguing. Also, did she have the motorcycle before, or did she get that after the foray with the Spoonheads in London? I think we are supposed to belive this is years after TNoTD. Clara and the Doctor are much, much closer than in the finale. He trusts her completely and they are comfy with each other. The TARDIS probably followed her thief. But I agree more development would have been needed.

So, were there no Daleks on Gallifrey when they moved the planet? I'm seeing all kinds of logistical issues with this now. Oh, yes. I had not thought of that. This is quite a problem. But some isolated Daleks on the planet in a bubble Universe are probably better tahn a whole fleet outside.

So how does he remember this part with the fez but not the HUGE part about Gallifrey? Wondered that too. No headcanon yet.

OMG the look on their faces when the Hurt Doctor asks if Ten and Eleven are the Doctor's companions! "Am I having a mid life crisis?"
"They're screwdrivers. What are you going to do - assemble a cabinet on them?"
"Are you capable of speaking without your hands flapping about?" "Yes. No, probably not."
"Timey Wimey?" "Honestly I don't know where he gets it from" *snort* Pure gold.

He is the Doctor again. that's great. But god help me, if they renumber the Doctors I am going to be completely pissed. I think it doesn't change a thing, considering they took time, within the Night of The Doctor minisode, to introduce him as War Doctor.

So will Eleven remember this but not the Hurt Doctor or Ten? Probably. Although I don't see why the paradoxe wipe the other's memory but not his.
Great review! I think you point out all that perturbs and pleases me.

Overall, it was fun to watch, rather well-constructed and fond mostly. What prevents me from deeming it an absolute masterpiece is mainly the plot/logic points which were a teensy bit too numerous.

I'm not sure about years after, but six months to a year wouldn't surprise me. Which is odd, since I thought they'd pick up immediately after.

True.

Hmm....

Yes, great quotes :)

I guess time will tell. The classic Doctor Who fans seem less bothered by this, but it sounds like they've had to roll with bigger things in the past.

Thanks :)

Yeah, definitely some plot holes, but the episode had an awful lot it was trying to do, so I think most people are willing to forgive it those things.
