Legend
I thought it was good, but would have had a stronger ending if they had finished about 5 mins before the actual ending. I don't want to introduce any spoilers, but to my mind it would have been more powerful (and would have left less inexplicable quandaries) if they had.left it with the Doctor walking off
The annoying thing to me was that
he could have rescued everyone, left the self-destruct ticking, and deposited them almost anywhere in human history - past or future - with new identities, and posterity would have been none the wiser, history would have run its course. He could've done it at almost any point in the episode. But the thought doesn't even occur to him - despite him having done the very same thing back at Pompeii - until almost everyone's dead, at which point he decides he'd rather throw out all the rules and take them right back home.
And no, I don't see how the grand-daughter could have found that altered set of events anywhere near as inspiring as the original.
