I agree about Osgood and Moffat's stereotypical way of writing. Not that we aren't used to it by now, but still quite infuriating.

Yeah. I'm not surprised by it, but I am still mad.

. Some things about how Gallifrey was saved made no sense, but sometimes I just choose to ignore logic and trying to figure things out and focus on the parts I liked :p

This is true. Doctor Who often falls apart under really strict logical scrutiny. Still, there's a difference between episodes where there's a lot of hand-waving or you realize later that something doesn't quite work, and episodes where the plot holes are actively distracting. Luckily, this special more or less made it into the former category.

I am looking forward to Peter Capaldi, but trying to keep my expectations low for the Christmas special itself.
