It could be worse.

Not sure how, but it could be.
While I like Heaven Sent, I also kind of hate it for being the penultimate Moffat having to leave his mark with dumb changes to lore episode.

The Doctor's childhood scenes in Listen were pretty unnecessary. Hell Bent's Gallifrey and suddenly useless and powerless Rassilon is just the worst.

But in Heaven Sent he straight up killed the Doctor. Full stop. The character we've followed for 50+ years died for the dumbest of reasons.

And then a duplicated lump of flesh strolled off with his face.

2 - They ran the whole serial without cuts or episode breaks, which is a VERY weird way to watch a classic serial.

So much nostalgia here. For a time in the 1980s, that's how each story was shown on our local PBS station. So you'd get essentially a movie length episode of (typically Tome Baker) Doctor Who each week.
