I feel like maybe they slightly overdid it with 1 being sexist, but otherwise I thought it was pretty much excellent!

Trailer for the next series soon, please!

If we're talking fantasy Who writers, I'd love an episode by Charles Stross. He'd have to tone it down a bit, but I think the way he can mix sci fi-horror stuff with utterly mundane British bureaucracy would be sweet.

I kind of really want to see Charlie Brooker do an episode. I think he's probably too busy to do it, though.

If we're talking about characters coming back for Chibnall's run, they could technically bring the Simm Master back at some point (probably not right away, but still) - there's enough ambiguity that he could have had offscreen adventures between escaping Gallifrey and getting stranded on that ship. Or at least, have the Master come back in another form - even if you definitively settle on Missy as the final Master, there's always the option for inserting a whole gamut of regenerations after Simm, since after all we don't actually see him regenerate into Missy onscreen as opposed to McGann>Hurt & Hurt>Eccleston (which I think was deliberate on Moffat's part, considering he's the one who took advantage of the McGann-Eccleston gap in the first place).

I just want to have him try and diss Thirteen, only for her to tell him that he's going to be a she in her future.

Pronouns are...difficult in this situation.

Also speaking of themes, am I the only one who thinks that the Day of the Doctor ending theme was the best?

Yeah can we get some other examples of his "gross'"behaviour?

Well, he did choose to appear in Terminator Genisys of his own free will...

Nick Frost is the lone bright spot in an otherwise boring story.

I'm sorry, but if you didn't enjoy Faye Marsay dancing past a bunch of monsters to Merry Christmas Everybody then you have no soul!

I kind of get the feeling that she was sort of planned as the new companion if Jenna Coleman had wanted to leave at that point. Honestly, I feel like that was set up to be her big finale.
