Psychic precondition of the power transfer: one hour time limit. Sure, he probably could've removed it, but I think he really just wanted one last battle for the fun of it. But then we wouldn't have that great ending line: "Sixty minutes are up, asshole!"
Whoops, sorry, I messed up: I meant to say why did he become good towards the end? The Doctor anticipated that this would happen. How? It didn't happen the first time around, when he went crazy and got imprisoned, did it?
They did explain this. It took me a couple of times reading it to quite catch it. I'll pull out the tpb and summarize. But first I need food. And sleep.
