re: Dr Who Christmas Special

I liked the Christmas special well enough. Thought it was better than last year's -- the last 10-15 minutes of last year's totally saved it.
I feel like Capaldi is like Leonard Fournette. He's great, but he's being let down by the material. I thought huge chunks of last season were a chore to get through, although Heaven Sent was great. (I rewatched most of Capaldi's first season and thought it held up. The only thing I've watched again from the past season was Heaven Sent and the Zygon speech) I'm really ready for Steven Moffat to go. He did some great stuff -- Blink, Silence in the Library, the first Matt Smith season, the 50th Anniversary episode -- but his cutesy shite (the Master regenerating into a woman), overly convoluted plotting (please summarize the events of Matt Smith's second season in less than 500 words. You can't.) and wild, illogical plot swings have worn thin.
Don't get me started on all the shite with the Doctor looking for Gallifrey, being tortured for billions of years to protect the planet, getting to Gallifrey and walking away from it. Or how the Doctor was wracked with guilt for wiping out the Time Lords, then deciding they were bad dudes who deserved to go.
