What an episode! Not only were the first 35 minutes some of the most tense, well acted and directed, intriguing, and scary moments of Doctor Who we've ever had, but they were also audacious and really well written. Clara's outrage at the Doctor is something I have never seen before on Doctor Who- and Jenna Coleman delivers a powerhouse performance in the climax of an already great episode that elevates it to a truly classic status. As for the moon being an egg... it's just another twist in the episode. I also really like how we don't know if Clara's really going to come back or not- that gets me excited for next week's episode and gives the audience a lot to speculate about.
Lots of people are giving Kill the Moon a 1/10 unfairly because they didn't like that the moon was an egg, but they're not giving it any credit for the spectacular first half, and the final scenes in which Clara really becomes a character and which are some of the best of the entire season so far.
