That's about what my reaction was, too. When the Doctor revealed what he'd done to Gallifrey and why, my mouth fell open. Series 1 will never look the same to me, again. And yeah, Rassilon. It was established in The Five Doctors that he was immortal. Yes, he had a tomb and was generally considered to be dead, from a practical standpoint, but he wasn't really, I guess. Or the Time Lords did it when the war started going really badly. I'm thinking maybe that's why this Rassilon was so evil, because he was a bastardization of the real thing, brought back to life to save Gallifrey and kinda warped by the process. Like the Master. *denial*
The woman had to be Romana. Who else would he react to that way? The face-covering was because those were the two members of the high council who voted against Rassilon and his Evil Plan TM.
The ranting about saving Wilf was perfectly in character for Ten by this point. I was able to see it from his point of view, in fact. It still wasn't polite, but I can't say, in his place, going through what he had, that I wouldn't feel kind of the same way for a second or two.
