I remember somewhere Moffat saying that he felt the second half of a two-parter should never open exactly where Part One left off. His reasoning is that since it'd been a week since the viewer had last seen our heroes, there should at least be a change of scene -- also that he didn't care for the opening of "The Doctor Dances" for just that reason.

::shrug:: It's clearly one of his personal writing rules.

Which was FINE in Silence in the Library... it actually WORKED there, because we were suddenly following 'adventures of Donna'. Here? there was so much missing that it was more WTF.

And it was so much WTF I almost stopped watching, thinking there was a glitch in the BBC iPlayer.

I said elsewhere: Moff needs an editor or someone to stop him. Really every idea he has doesn't need to be crammed into one (or two) episode(s). And he needs an editor to tighten up aspects that can be tightened and expand things that need more explanation.

And don't think I'm an RTD lover. I'm not. He had his issues too. I'm just someone who's studied a bit of creative writing and I expect more from 'professionals'.
