Haven't seen a discussion post for the new special, so I'll get the ball rolling. Thoughts, insights, bits you loved... let it all out.

RTD and hand-wavy plot shrugging. Name a better duo. Still a fun special all the same.

Lol, to be fair I feel like every modern showrunner has had that issue. Moffat especially tended to have finales that were basically just "let's hold hands and hope things work out."

Its the journey, not the destination that matters.

This episode was like RTDs whole run - generally good but with some almost unbearably cheesy moments

Donna spilling the coffee was both hilarious and baffling (is the console lactose intolerant?). That was definitely the TARDIS herself setting that up as a thinly veiled excuse to take them both somewhere.
