So I think I've finally figured out how I'll execute S11E01, and I was curious what you thought:

My idea is inspired by the basic premise of S9E09, "Sleep No More," even though it is an episode whose concept does not excite me in the slightest…
 * That said, the episode is going to consist of a series of "Captain's Log"-type videos with the newly-regenerated Thirteenth Doctor; he's going to speak of, from the moment he regenerated, how he started his epic search for Gallifrey, which he is now on as of the episode's conclusion.
 * As the Doctor describes events, we will have flashbacks that depict the events he describes; he'll sort of narrate them, I'm thinking.

Basically, this is a way to cram a lot of content into a single episode, without having to focus on a particular enemy or event for the entirety of an episode. While it may seem disorganized and hectic, that is the idea behind the Doctor's hunt for Gallifrey. We only see a brief glimpse of his regeneration, and then BOOM, it's off on his hunt to set up the story arc for the series.

This episode may have a lot of fan-service in it, but I assure you I will not include anything unless it has a specific purpose for being there.

With that, I leave you with this quote from the Thirteenth Doctor:
 * "Gallifrey has been missing far too long. This is the face that will find it."

Do let me know what you think :)

Once this episode is off the ground and out of the way, then the rest of the series can unfold, and you can read all those scripts you've been dying to see from me :)
