I disagree with the "what's the point of the soft reboot", My speculation is that, as Moffat knew it was his last season as showrunner, he decided to go out cleanly, rather than bombastically. To deliver one simple (mostly) stand-alone season of the show. Maybe the audience didn't need it. Sure. but I can understand Moffat's perspective, if that's the rationale. Also, since this was Capaldi's last season, Moffat wanted to give him a season where he was playing a version of the Doctor that knew exactly who he was. it took two entire seasons plus a special for the Doctor to come through the funk that started in Deep Breath. Here, the Doctor is quintessentially the Doctor. It isn't a rehash-it's a reaffirmation.

I wasn't feeling it, but it came together in the last ten minutes or so. It also helped that ultimately none of Bill's housemates died. Meaner people would say they chickened out, but I was more than fine with it given that they'd done very little to warrant dying horribly, and it would've been a little too dark at this point in the season.
