Paul McGann Is the only good thing about it- I Dislike Night of The Doctor for several reasons:
1) It was only 6 minutes
2) The Doctor could have easily saved Cass several different ways: A) Materalise the ship around her (like in To The Death, Dark Eyes, Parting of The Ways) B) extended The Tardis forceshield around the ship thus extra protection C) Magnetron the ship away from Karn
3) I had no sympathy or likability for Cass- the way she said "then you are going to die right here- best news all day" was wrong- her basically being racist towards the doctor and the fact that 8 didnt really try to win her over in order to trust her
4) The Manner of The Doctor's Death was unheroic- it would have been more emotional had he tried to save a ship of Refugges being attacked by Daleks, The Doctor could have saved the others but stayed to find a child that was left behind but is killed by a dalek and that The Doctor is seperated from his tardis on the crashing ship craddling the dead child as he prepares for his own death and then cut to Karn....it would have been actually heartbreaking and poetic rather than The Doctor banging on the airlock door for 5 seconds.
5) The Whole Sisterhood of Karn thing feels like they manipulated the events to force the doctor to come to Karn
6) When this mini-episode came out it came out after Dark Eyes 1 which was The Doctor's journey to find hope and after this aired it was like- all that promise from Dark Eyes leads to this- it ruins any future impact the audios have now
7) We have waited 17 Years for Paul Mcgann to come on screen agian and Moffatt kills him off for 6 minutes and creates A NEW DOCTOR instead of Using Mcgann for Day of The Doctor! that is Criminial- i mean Day of The Doctor didnt feel like a 50th Annivesary Special but rather a "10 year annivesary of The New Series- i mean the archive footage of former doctors feel incredibily shoehorned in like why not get McGann to film any scenes for Day of The Doctor while the filming of Night of The Doctor?
8) Had McGann been in Day of The Doctor (we would have had atleast 1 classic Doctor in the special- Tom Baker doesnt really play The 4th Doctor but an original character) it would have been brilliant- A Doctor that was so filled with life in the tv movie now a broken man on a sucuide mission- Bad Wolf helping 8 get peace and saving Gallifrey/Ending the time war would have been the best ending for McGann to end with hope- completing his mission of finding hope in Dark Eyes but no Moffatt isnt intelligent enough to think that way
9) The Regeneration was pants- there wasnt even a transformation scene just basically a photoshop image of a young John Hurt on a cup after 8 drinks a cup and looks like he is going to throw up and the fact that during the filming Paul Mcgann played The War Doctor in those scenes... its like Really?!? whats the point of it
