#4 - I love the fact that they set up the "one hundred years of hell, etc." because the Doctor didn't bother to stick around long enough to see if anything else was at work. So much of Doctor Who is a constant push and pull between the mythos of the Doctor as a larger-than-life hero -- brilliant, resourceful, and with all of time and space at his fingertips -- and the Doctor as an individual, one who needs friends, who has his own likes/dislikes, and who can and does make mistakes. Any time he makes a mistake as big as this one, and it is shoved into his face, it forces him (and the audience) to reevaluate him as a character.
This isn't a BAD episode, exactly. But it's just not a particularly memorable one for me and it doesn't inspire a lot of deep thoughts. It's just... there
