Well, this wasn't as terrible as I'd been led to believe, but nor is it much cop. It's not fundamentally flawed — there are some decent ideas here, especially with the reveal of how the Timewyrm is involved this time (a writer like Steven Moffat could probably work wonders with that storyline) — but there are myriad lesser issues that add up to an unsatisfying whole. It's not outright bad, it's just aggressively adequate.
