I can't see the "something will happen that'll drive the fans nuts" being "he's half-human" - we've had 20 years to get used to that one.
I'm guessing its probably the Doctor going full blown revenge rampage on the Timelords.

That's what I was thinking, too.
Moffat may have brought the Time Lords back so the twelfth Doctor can do something the Doctor trio in "Day of the Doctor" never did -- genocide the effing bastards.![]()
Why do you all think The Doctor is the hybrid?
Why do you all think The Doctor is the hybrid?
Because he says he is.

He's no longer inside the Confession Dial. He's under no pressure to tell the truth to anyone. The Doctor is now at leisure to lie his arse off. Which I'm betting, is exactly what he's doing.

To whom?
This episode, "Sleep No More," "Face the Raven" and "The Woman Who Lived" (because of Hob). And I agree about having the vibe without feeling like anything is being ripped off.Oh yes there's been a definite Gaiman vibe for the last three episodes now (was Sleep No More the third episode you meant?) without ever feeling like Neverwhere/Sandman has been ripped off.For the third time this season, I was briefly reminded of The Sandman. I know this tangetial at best, but when we first saw the Veil, I thought of Destiny, sans his chained book. Some people here and the previous episode thread have suggested Harry Potter influences, but I would say there have even stronger Neil Gaiman influences from at least The Sandman and Neverwhere.
Yes! I meant to mention this but I was reminded of The Prestige when The Doctor began to duplicate himself. Who is the original?I was also reminded of Christopher Nolan's The Prestige by this episode.

Himself? Us? The kid?
The music was truly magnificient! WOW! There was such emotion in each note.

It's Moffat. His ideal of "subtle foreshadowing" is a sledgehammer to the groin with the words "Plot point!" on the handle.Capaldi's performance was great, the episode itself was okay but not something I'd watch again, it's pointless. I guess the Doctor being stuck there for 2 billion years is supposed to show his determination except it doesn't, from his perspective he only did it once, he arrived, explored, got scared, punched the wall and got out just a few hours after Clara died. Rory protecting Amy for 2000 years is way more impressive because he actually experienced that time.
I also think having him stuck there for 2 billion years was overkill, instead of diving into an ocean he should have crashed into a pile of skulls after a million years or two, look how many there were after only 7000 years!
Oh, and the Doctor is not the hybrid, you're not fooling me Moffat.
The Hybrid is me, me=Ashildr
It's really obvious, I watched last weeks episode after sitting out most of the season and the entire time I thought "Why would she be called 'me', that's weird ...", it wasn't very subtle but I shouldn't be surprised, Moffat was never subtle, I realized that the moment the camera started zooming in on the stupid cracks in series five.
