Default Heaven Sent: Advanced Reviews

So the pre-air reviews of this episode have pretty much all been really positive. Looks to be a great episode although some are saying that it could be divisive, as some might not 'get' it. I'll post a couple here if anyone's interested.

It would have been better if the BBC didn't reveal so much in the synopsis. I feel like it's been ruined for me before watching. I am looking forward to it though.

Yeah presumably the cliffhanger for Heaven Sent is going to be the
Spoiler:

Gallifrey reveal
. Really don't know why they detailed it in the synopsis unless
Spoiler:

the Time Lords
are just one of many more surprisingnthingnmthat are going to happen.

Some fairly big spoilers were going around on Twitter earlier today, so I would advise everyone to be cautious when looking at anything other than the official accounts and trusted sites if you don't want the finale ruined...

Isn't there 'a' Clara on Gallifrey? One of her echoes?

It was a great episode although I think it had pacing issues which dampened it a bit for me.

My favourite has to be the "CAROL SINGERS WILL BE CRITICISED" sign on the Tardis- this looks much more lighthearted and fun than most of the recent Christmas specials (which is a good thing, IMO).

I can't believe it's finale night already. I'm both extremely excited and distraught.

This series has been one of my favourites and Capaldi has cemented himself as my favourite Doctor this year.

I loved the ending, when they first brought Clara back, I thought it was a bad move, but by the end, I thought it was fantastic, the idea of Clara getting to travel by herself before eventually facing the raven.

I really enjoyed this episode and for me it tied up more loose ends than most Moffat finales (we finally found out why Missy chose Clara). I loved when the Doctor played Clara's theme on the guitar, and every scene on Gallifrey was excellent. Hopefully they revisit 'The Woman' (in the barn) at some point in the future, and I'm certain that we'll be seeing more of Gallifrey in the coming years. Still not entirely comfortable with the idea of the Doctor forgetting Clara, although it does make sense that he could not even bear to remember her, and the fact that Clara and Me are roaming around the Universe in a Tardis cheapens her exit somewhat for me. Still, glad they didn't completely reverse it and she'll still have to face the raven someday.

Overall, an enjoyable and satisfying end to what has been my favourite series since 2010.

I heard that Peter Capaldi does play the guitar, (correct me if that is not correct), so I did wonder if that actually was him playing that bit of "The Impossible Girl"

if that's true. I know he used to be in a band so it very well could be!

Also, it was never actually revealed what the Hybrid is, we just heard theories, I expect it to come to fruition at the end of Capaldi's run. I wouldnt be surprised if 10's first episode is set on Gallifrey.
