I've decided that I will, at the very least, start watching the episode on TV tomorrow, but if even one commercial shows up, I am bailing and waiting for it to hit Amazon Monday morning.

Do you think we will see Jodie's Doctor going back to Galifray?

Hopefully bloody never. It is honestly one of those pieces of lore that is always best off talked about bombastically rather than seen. It's never not disappointing.
I feel like the only way Gallifrey could ever be done justice is if they set an entire two-parter there and put a SHITLOAD of budget (way more than the BBC actually allocates per episode, mind you) into the CGI and effects.
It's never, ever going to happen, but that would be the only way to make it work. Who's clunky-but-usually-semifunctional CGI just can't evoke the kind of majesty Gallifrey is given in dialogue.
Even then, the nature of the Time Lords is that they're stupid ass boring senators droning on while wearing stupid hats. The interesting ones are all the ones who go mad, and all the ones who go mad leave the planet. It's not even about the presentation (though boy, compare the description of Gallifrey in Gridlock - which itself quotes Susan - to where we eventually end up in Hell Bent - what a bummer), it's just about by their very nature Time Lords aren't interesting, as they lack all the facets of the Doctor that make the Doctor (or the Master, or even the Rani) stand out.
18 is one my faves so I preordered from zoom when amazon hiked the price to over £50. I missed out on Season 12 but I did get Season 19 and that looks great plus they went all out on including most of the DVD extras plus new HD extras for each story.Hmm... still trying to decide whether to pre-order season 18 on blu-ray or not. Missed on season 12 like many others, so there's also that. Tom's final season is kinda bad, but that packaging is once again so yummy. Well at least there's State of Decay and Warrior's Gate which are both good stories.
Season 10 is solid... buuuuut I wish they'd hurry up and do Season 7. That's such a great season. One of the very best.

Also, Benton is better than THAT TRAITOR YATES.I believe there's more work to be done with that season, because yeah, it's great and it would have made a lot of sense to start with it.
7 is definitely one of the best. Spearhead especially is up there as one of the greatest season openers ever, and Inferno feels like a true season finale in an era that didn't really do those for the most part. Very effective that one. And I adore Liz, bit of a crime that she was only there for such a short time. I like Jo but it's never quite the same again.
Here is the US Amazon link for the blu-ray preorder

I will never not be bitter that Liz got thrown out after one season for being too competent and outspoken for 1970s TV audiences.
Also, Benton is better than THAT TRAITOR YATES.
Having a competant female character to challenge the dandy third Doctor worked so well. Jo was lovely, but I don't prefer the 'make us a cup of tea love' sort of feeling you get from it, espescially in contrast to Liz (and then SJS).
Pertwee arguably has the most seasons that feel like seasons of the original early Doctors. 7, 8, and 11 all stand as strong 'seasons' for me.
But this will be the third (maybe fourth) time I've bought Green Death, and I doubt I'll ever hesisitate to buy a better version of it. It's brilliant TV. Definitely laying a lot of the ground work for modern Who. It's held up brilliantly other than that one giant flying insect.
Honestly one of the most boring seasons of a show I've watched in a long time. Shame what happened to the showThey really need to improve the writing. Last season lacked the energy the show used to have.
