More of the bad: The whole bit with comparing the rush of travel/saving the day/etc to an addiction and, specifically, the Doctor saying he's never tried to give it up. Dude. Trenzalore was LAST SEASON. He did give it up, for the rest of that body's natural life, and Clara watched him do it.
More of the meh: I can almost forgive the telescoped ending, since my biggest complaint about the whole new series is that 45 minutes is not long enough for a proper Doctor Who story. But couldn't we have cut some of the endless bit where Clara was locked in a cupboard with Maisie making unfunny meta jokes about their Bechdel fail?
More of the good: Jazz Age chanteuse cover of "Don't Stop Me Now." Hands down my favorite thing in the episode.
