From:

one thing I enjoyed about Heather's return is that it was foreshadowed all through "The Doctor Falls"

see, my problem is it was foreshadowed in tdf, a but hadn't been referenced since the pilot. I'm not asking for hand holding in terms of writing it, just some connective tissue. they could've eliminated Nardole and maybe not have brought back Heather, but done something to at least indicate that she was learning how to control her powers and was keeping an eye on Bill or capable of it.

I get that Moffat is really into "waiting" as an expression of love and trust, but it's been done.

I think it wasn't the repetitive nature of the concept, it was that it was basically forced on Bill. that was cruel and needless, telling someone to wait for you when you know there's a good chance you might not make it is bad enough but implanting it in her brain was horrifying

I get people are looking at this story like, this pile of good things outweighs the bad, and I do want to be clear I'm not saying anyone else should hate it, but for me personally the bad things were just too unintentionally horrifying and depressing, to the point where what little good there was is completely overshadowed
