This meta is gorgeous and I can't even watch the images without feeling touched.
The episode per se isn't perfect. Moffat did his best in "The Day of the Doctor" and other episodes. I think that the biggest flaw is that everything happens so fast. Too many things and too many explanations into little time. We are supposed to go on for centuries with the story, but I can't feel it. Somehow we are stuck like Clara (And maybe that's what Moffat wanted us to feel from the beginning. I don't know.) But talking about emotional resolution this episode is perfect and the ending is the most perfect one for Eleventh. It really feels like he did a full circle. (Love the parallels with The Beast Below and The Girl in the Fireplace. Everything in your metas works SO MUCH.)
I'm grateful to the Moff and to Matt Smith. Eleventh is my favourite chapter of the New Who so far and, like Clara predicted, I cried my eyes out. Best Doctor so far, to me, and one of the most amazing television characters ever.
