Yeah I saw the little teaser for it, he looks alone and lost with some random thing chasing him.
Although Amy was always my fave companion, Clara had really grown on me so I'm super sad 
But she was the longest running companion in the reboot so I guess it was inevitable. I have a theory that she'll be returning in the season finale maybe as a different version.

But omg I can't wait for River to return at Christmas!Although Amy was always my fave companion, Clara had really grown on me so I'm super sad

Oh
I never got that impression, but I feel like her character is sort of convoluted as well. Like if you try and map out her entire life year by year it gets kind of weird.... like they kidnapped her then raised her in Florida? Then let her run off on her own (as Mels) and then kill the Doctor, god knows how many years later? I think in trying to make her so complex and fascinating they kind of overdid it, but I love her so I overlook it lol. Similarly, it would have been so easy for them to make Clara's death so massive and make it this big plotline with the Impossible Girl and stuff - so I really like how her end was small and personal. Although tbh I wish Rigsy was in real danger because I don't like that she died for nothing at all, it would've been better if she had at least died to save a father. For me, at least lol.
Does anyone watch his videos? Because they're pretty good and entertaining.

It was great, but the ending is just Moffat poking fun at the fans complaining about Clara's "Doctor"ness

One of my pet peeves has always been the Doctor not remembering enough about his past lives - I mean I know it's kind of inevitable but idk to me it contradicts some his values that are most important to me and makes the show have less worth. I.e. "In 900 years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important before. Nek minnet cut to 12 who says "BUT YOU'RE NOT IMPORTANT" every 2 episodes lol or in Last Christmas when he was like "Sorry what were your names again? I deleted you."
tl;dr - I'm bummed that there's now literally a whole chuck of shit that he can't/won't ever remember, besides the small snippets he knew, obvs.
I do have one question though, if anyone can help me...
When he was trapped in the confession dial, did he know that if he confessed at any point he'd be taken to Gallifrey anyway? And just persevered for some other reason? Or did he think the only way out was to stay and bash the wall for billions years?

He knew that he had to confess and he would be free, but the Doctor didn't actually know anything about the Hybrid. He just made it look like he knew. And then he figured out that he could still escape by persevering for 4.5 billion years at the diamond wall until it eventually broke.
TL;DR
The doctor knew confessing would free him, but he didn't have anything to confess, so manually punched his way out.

Really? I thought it was a nice send off to the character that'd be appreciated by fans of Classic Who. Then again they did give him a mention in Closing Time so I can sympathise if you think it was a waste.
I really wanna watch Classic but I think I'd rather watch it all in order. I'm holding out in the (unlikely) hopes of them recovering all of the missing episodes
Start by watching the best ones from each Doctor. I started watching the Fifth Doctor's Enlightenment, then Fourth's the Deadly Assassin, then Seventh's Dragonfire (which was really campy), then Fourth's Robots of Death, Fifth's Black Orchid, and I am currently watching Sixth's the Ultimate Foe (which is part of the season-long Trial of a Time Lord story)/

I watched all of the "best of ___ doctor" videos from that Welsh channel you linked before which made me excited to watch Classic but I don't think I could just straight up watch the eps out of order.... I'm one of those people.
Every person in my life insisted I watch the Star Wars original trilogy before the prequels but I just could not watch them out of chronological order! And I'm still alive so
