There was no way to not include it, literally the entire point of the episode was Moffat writing an origin story for The Doctor.

I really like it when an episode is subtle about the Doctor's past - like when we learn the Doctor stole the Tardis, and then thirty years later we learn the Tardis unlocked itself.

Then 2 years later we learn that Clara magicked herself throughout every moment in history to prod the doctor into picking that Tardis. gently caress that noise.

The Doctor being scared of the dark and crying himself to sleep at night? I am so down with that. Sleeping in a barn in bumfuck-nowhere Gallifrey being soothed by Clara? Not a fan.

So the world was saved by a ten year old girl telling the world to be nice to trees, because we need them and without them the whole world will die.

The Telegraph articles tomorrow are going to be priceless

The Cyberman reveal would've been really really awesome...if they hadn't actually shown them in the trailer and left it to be a surprise.

God its just like in the old series where they'd call a story _______ of the Daleks and expect us to be surprised that oh no! Its the Daleks! Wow, never saw that one coming.

The best cock-up was the season 2 finale. They go to massive lengths to keep the Dalek reveal a secret, including removing the final shot of the first episode showing the Daleks coming out of the sphere.

But in the preview clip from the week before, they show a guy getting shot with those very distinctive Dalek lasers even though that scene isnt in the episode
