Catching up on Doctor Who

[tardis_stowaway]

I have a lot of thoughts about Doctor Who, y'all.  I'd let myself fall very behind this season, but I watched Sleep No More and Face the Raven a few nights ago, then Heaven Sent, Hell Bent, and The Husbands of River Song all in a Christmas binge with my family.  Here are some very general spoiler-free thoughts outside a cut first, then episode-

Overall a better season than the last methinks.

I completely agree that this has been the best season in ages! This hiatus is going to be torturous.

I don't really understand why the Doctor forgetting Clara does anything to heal the damage to time caused by her walking around when she should be dead

I think the forgetting thing was supposed to stop the Time Lords from tracking Clara somehow, because they'd want to track her down to stop the time-shattering problem... which never seemed to be an actual problem. Yeah, I enjoyed a lot about "Hell Bent", but it definitely had some problems. And I completely agree that the Doctor running from Gallifrey because he was scared isn't a satisfying explanation. The Hybrid prophecy thing didn't really make sense at all.
