It was a huge risk tackling the idea of the Afterlife and Heaven. I'm sure people will be in a uproar about it eventually. "Hey kids! When you die! You get downloaded into a Time Lord hard Drive"
People did get upset, but specifically with the idea that cremated people feel the pain.

:
Also they really went with the safe choice with Missy being The Master... They had so perfectly in place for it to be Rani or some other Time Lord. It would of been so interesting and unexpected seeing her come back. Somehow. Stranger things have happened.
I don't really know what that would have added, except the need for even more damn explanation next week for those who didn't watch the original series.

:
I just want one big twist or something...
Inside word is that there is a twist and nothing is as it seems. I shrug at this. Until something actually happens or anyone's motivations are explained (yay), there's not really all that much to twist.

:
YES. That was one of the best scenes in Doctor who for a very long and it was all just a fucking dream...
It doesn't matter that it was a dream. What's important is that Clara did what she did believing she was doing that. She's a control freak and she doesn't behave when she doesn't get what she wants. When the Doctor wouldn't help her decide what to do with the Moon, she flipped out. When she played the part of The Doctor in Flatline, the Doctor was worried by how well she did. Clara is a reflection of the Doctor's less admirable traits.

And then it never effects what they actually do, so yeah it might as well be a dream. Someone else's dream. Maybe Moffat's smug fanfic dream.
