No worries. My responses are as follows:
 * I agree a sacrifice of some sort should be made in order for the Doctor to free Gallifrey and the Time Lords from within himself.
 * Potential plot hole with the Series 11 story arc: The Time Lords are inside the Doctor, like a parasite. That said, why are they having him go off on some frantic search that will ultimately lead no where?
 * Indeed, the question "Is the Doctor a hero, or something to be feared?" is similar to "Am I a good man?" However, this is intentional.
 * The Doctor's thirteenth incarnation is the next step in a descent into darkness that ultimately draws out the Valeyard.
 * The Thirteenth Doctor is very unstable because of Gallifrey's presence within him; this is also why the Twelfth Doctor was so different from the Eleventh.
 * The Time Lords have essentially been preparing the Doctor for something that is only now coming to fruition; having so many voices and wills inside him to drive his actions makes the Thirteenth Doctor a ticking time-bomb that could cause everyone and everything's destruction.
 * Gallifrey is essentially a glitch or virus influencing the Doctor's second regenerative cycle in a negative way. It needs to be removed before it is too late.
 * The mysterious girl (if she even ends up being used) views the Doctor as a plaything; she toys with him simply because it is fun for her to do so.
 * I suppose Missy could fill this role. However, that depends on what happens to her in the Series 9 finale…
 * I want to introduce a female version of the Doctor simply because I'd like to tackle this concept before the BBC gets a chance.
 * I imagine the Doctor and this mysterious Time Lady having a dynamic similar to "The Doctor and River Song." Throwing a new character into the mix means River Song does not necessarily need to come back; perhaps the Doctor has based some of his future personality traits on River.
 * Even though the idea is odd, this could justify a romantic relationship between the two incarnations of the Doctor; the relationship idea also pokes fun at the Thirteenth Doctor's arrogance, for he is essentially "in love with himself."
 * Saying the mysterious female incarnation of the Doctor is from the future allows us to solidify the Doctor's eventual transition into a female. However, if we do not say when in the future this transition takes place, the Doctor can remain male for an indefinite period of time.
 * The Doctor would no longer be able to assume the form of this female regeneration because she gives her life to save him at one point. Bringing the female Doctor who does this back into existence would surely cause a paradox…
 * I also worry about the controversial nature of a "the Doctor meeting Christ" story. However, Doctor Who devoted two episodes to Satan in Series 2…
 * By having the Doctor partake in the events of the first Christmas, I want to tell a story that is more beautiful and poetic than anything else. I don't want to shove religion down people's throats, nor do I want to try to disprove a religion when it is what I believe in. I simply like the idea of the Doctor standing there in the Nativity and finally being able to redeem himself in preparation for a new series of adventures.
 * There is always the Krampus idea I had for a Christmas special, as well...
