We know Capaldi's regenerating at Christmas, and I was wondering what the story would be, so I thought I'd ask the forum. What are you expecting from the story, what do you want from the story? Villains, plot, cause of regeneration, guest characters, time period and so forth.
My main wish list for Capaldi's regeneration would recycle Sylvestor McCoy's regeneration had Doctor Who not been cancelled in 1989, which would have seen him regenerate due to being driven to insanity. I think it's an interesting and unique concept to the show, which would also suit Capaldi's Doctor well. I think the Valeyard returning, to perhaps help trigger this by putting the Doctor through a set of problems would be good, although it's very unlikely to happen, but still.
As for what we can actually expect, I imagine Missy will appear in the episode, whether she will be the antagonist, side character or even pseudo-companion like in The Magician's Apprentice/The Witches Familiar, knowing Moffat probably the latter. I'm hoping we don't get yet another episode with all of the Doctor's enemies like in Time of the Doctor, it's been done to death. With it being Moffat's last episode I imagine he's going to want to say goodbye to some of the hallmarks of his time on the show, so perhaps the Weeping Angels returning isn't out of the question, or maybe even his version of the Stolen Earth/Journey's End where all the companions from his era return (although this is also very unlikely).
