Today's episode was pretty good, really enjoyed it.

A good episode for once though the hint at the end most people should be able to spot a mile away.

When he says the hybrid is Me I'm fairly sure he wasn't referring to himself but Ashildr, who calls herself Me.

Question:
When he says things periodically reset, why doesn't the diamond like wall do the same?
Timey-wimey
Commissario
My take on that is
The crystal/diamond stuff isn't part of the building structure, the same reason things like the skulls stay on the ground and in the water just outside, the building resets everything that was in it at it's design/construction/inception but not necessarily things added afterwards.
The Doctos is affected because he's in the "memory" of the transport chamber which was there when it was started, but the TARDIS is effectively sealed separately and possibly arrived after that time so is not included in the reset.
A bit like if you make a disc image of a computer then add a card, if you use the disc image to reset the computer it doesn't have the drivers/software for the card s that was added after

What was the importance of the hole in the ground with chalk arrows point at it?

Why do they always let it be known that certain characters are leaving the show? Surely it would be more surprising to keep that under wraps and just let a character death or whatever play out on screen. But nope, seems they have to broadcast it left right and centre, screw any surprises!
Capaldi is fast becoming my favourite actor to play the Doctor.
My view on this episode:
But I have no idea what that circle with the arrows pointing to it was for.
My view on this episode:
The Doctor was transported inside his own confession dial by Me (who is indeed the hybrid). Bigger on the inside etc. The skulls were all the Doctor's skulls. He has not moved anywhere in space but has obviously lived several mission years. When the Doctor eventually escapes he is on Galifrey.
I'm not that clued up on Doctor Who history but in the episode where Galifrey was sent back to the time lock wasn't there something about a diamond being used to connect Galifrey to Earth? I suspect that the whole point of the Doctor being sent inside his confession dial was for him to break through the diamond and once again free Galifrey from the time lock. So it has been planned and engineered by the Time Lords.

Very good episode. Best I can remember really. Felt like a Nolan movie. Just hope next week's one keeps the high standard going. Worried it'll drag it back down to mediocrity again but this episode alone has made it all worth it for me.
Really enjoyed that episode, reminded me a lot of the film The Triangle (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1187064/) which I also enjoyed.

Wait, who's leaving?
Soldato
Easily in the top ten new who episodes in my opinion. The sound work was on point. Very Beethoveny.
