One spoilery complaint about "Listen"

[dbskyler]

Okay, it's a silly thing to be obsessing about, but I can't get over how the TARDIS was able to land on Gallifrey without all the alarms going off and guards showing up that we used to get.

For example, this scene from Deadly Assassin (start at 1:10).

Also, can the Doctor just go land in Gallifrey's past whenever he wants now? I thought it was still Timelocked / in another universe or something?

I've seen it suggested that the barn wasn't on Gallifrey, because it's on a world with a blue sky (though The Five Doctors provides an obvious counterexample). Presumably, if it was somewhere else, the Doctor would have been there on the equivalent of a field trip.

Ooh, interesting theory!

Now that you mention it, in "Day of the Doctor" I did get the impression that the barn wasn't on Gallifrey. Hmmm.
