So despite doing everything in their power across time and space to stop the Doctor or River from ever reaching Trenzalore and speaking the Doctor's name, the actual event itself happened to fall on a Sunday or something and the Silence were too busy getting a manicure to bother saving all of existence.
Instead, the ones trying to grab the Doctor before he could reach his tomb were the Whispermen... even though their goal was to get him there in the first place. Then River let the Great Intelligence in because ????. Then there was a sort of portal thing to the Doctor's timeline because ????. Then the Doctor didn't want Clara to save all of existence because ????. Then the Doctor revealed he always could see River because ????.
The the Doctor's secret was revealed: At some point in the future he does something he pregrets. That's it. He already seems to know it, and that it was done for benevolent reasons. That could be interesting. I'm not holding my breath.
This is what Moffat has been leading towards this whole time? This is the epic conclusion to more than three years of story threading and world building?
I honestly can't begin to think how to close this post. I could try something interesting or well-crafted, but if Moffat can't be bothered why the fuck should I? I'll just keep rambling incoherent bullshit and wait for my BAFTAs.
