Was it Moffat's best finale?

To me yes {i'll excuse the strange ending} but I thought it was enjoyable, exciting, Gomez was great and I guess she will be back too, Plus people actually died and the Brigadier tribute was lovely
I dare not ask but what did the rest of you think?
Edit: to me its
-Death in Heaven
Night of Doctor-{close second}
Big Bang- Too timey whimey, with the Amy remembering the doctor back rubbish, was a let down after the great Pandorica Opens
Wedding of River Song- All over the place
Plus I thought Missy teleported {it was the same effect as in the plane } if a Cyberman shot her would there not be a body

Big Bang
Night of the doctor
the wedding of river song
Death in Heaven
Really worst ever? I think it was well done. It quite upsetting knowing that both of them think that the other is happy but they both aren't. They were both crying on the other side of that hug. I found it moving.
I chucked in the Ten and Eleven regeneration stories because they were finales in their own rights too, just outside of the main series.
RTD Finales Best-Worst
The Parting of the Ways
Doomsday
Journey's End
Last of the Time Lords
The End of Time: Part Two
Moffat Finales Best-Worst
The Big Bang
The Time of the Doctor
The Name of the Doctor
Death in Heaven
The Wedding of River Song
But it was damned close and the others were all amazing so it's nothing to be ashamed of.
She went blue though, didn't she, not red (ie teleported, not vapourised).
Yes thats what I gather too thought I was seeing thing plus no body either, she's still out there
What was wrong with the ending?
it just felt really flat to me like we were building up to a huge cliffhanger also how they made clara and danny the main focus of the story and not missy
I think the question now is whether that's because she'd pre-programmed it, just in case.... or because the Doctor saved her, but wanted Clara to think he'd killed her.
(or, possibly, Danny did, given he had the chance.... he was full Cyberman at the time)
Never really 'got' the Smith era and I felt this finale very much harked back to the RTD finale's, which is probably why I loved it so much.
This^ Was quite touching
Moffat's finales have been consistently better than RTD's (which were always the low point of the series for me)
Death in Heaven should be credited for the Armistice Day/First War world references. And the ending played out nicely with both of them lying to each other.
