I would have thought that the line "We are all stories in the end, just make it a good one, eh?" would have fit in perfectly given the theme of this episode.

In the memory/story of Belinda saving that patient's life, did everyone catch Mrs. Flood walking past Belinda?
OH god no. He killed the show with the absolute Narcississtic need to outdo himself every episode till it just felt stupid.
I simply want good writers and a director that is ok just making good shows and hoping for great ones instead of trying so hard to make great ones he misfires more than he doesn't. That being said him being gone didn't make the writing any better. The last 3 doctors have been great actors that have had to cover some really bad scripts. I think the show would be far better if they cut the budget and went back to an old 70's or 80's formula (not that low budget though. ) and just had fun instead of trying to impress the internet every time.

The latter perfectly describes RTD and especially Moffat.
Last of the Time Lords, Sherlock, Dracula, Empire of Death, etc.
We'll have to agree to disagree. I think the series would have been far better without them.

You think the series would have been better without Chibnall or you think the series would have been better without Moffat and RTD?
I think RTD started out great and flamed out and that Chibnall was a train wreck. Moffat unfortunantly had to go and intentionally break ever single sacred cow of the show to make the point he was the director. Some fun episodes but he's a big part of the reason the show hasn't recovered . The problem with all three and now disney whoever is directing it is that there is no real continuity. For example for most of the show there were no gods, no fantasy just good old scifi though sometimes scifi that explained myths. Now suddenly we've got a whole season of Dr. Who and the gods. WTF. But I guess we'll just eventually save one strand of the Universal DNA and reboot it again at some point now that Moffat has turned Dr. Who into something with Marvel Universe rules.
The only thing I'll give this latest season is that we seem to be moving back to the Dr being full of hope and a strong desire to make things better. That at least makes it a bit more enjoyable.

RE: No Gods in Doctor Who.
Now granted, sure, most of the time, the Doctor doesn't face Gods. And what constitutes a God is up for some debate. But sufficiently advanced alien, etc. etc..
Xoanon thought it was a God, as did Rassilon and the Dalek Emperor. Kronos the Chronovore might as well be a God, as well as The Bad Wolf, possibly the Guardians of Time. The Gods of Ragnarok call themselves God, and so did Sutekh. I don't recall, but I'm pretty sure Fenric was considered a God as well (or at least claimed to be one).
The Daemons were worshiped as Gods or Demons, ditto for Light (from Ghost Light) and Magnus Greel, and even the Time Lords themselves (by the Minyans, for example). Ditto the Optera, Aggedor, Ti, Akhaten, and Kroll. The Nimons pretended to be Gods. Ten fought The Devil (The Satan Pit). Omega, holding himself together out of sheer will could be considered a God of sorts.
The Doctor himself was seen as a household God in The Fires of Pompeii and the Face of Boe called him "the lonely god". K9 Mark I was worshiped by the Anubians.
And who knows what else I may have missed.
This is not exactly a new thing to the franchise.
