This thread is REALLY old and should probably have been closed by now but I just want to note that it doesn't matter how 'out of character' the Doctor's line about revenge was. If the Doctor acting 'out of character' were a reason to declare a story invalid, Master of Spiders would be invalid ('die hideous creature die' anyone?). Some people think the Doctors fear in the face of regeneration in The End of Time was 'out of character' so should that be declared invalid to? How about The Twin Dilemma? Or maybe any and all War Doctor stories? Or any story not featuring the First Doctor? The point is that 'out of character' is inherently subjective, and is not even close to a good to a good reason to go around slapping the 'invalid' label on stories left and right.
