Sure, fair enough. But outside the three Moffat written or cowritten episodes, most of Bill's lesbianism has so far revolved around telling dudes she's not into them.

I mean, yes? Clara has probably had more chemistry with female guest stars than Bill has.

Besides Mark Gatiss, Robert Shearman, Paul Cornell, and Gareth Roberts?

So, what's the point of Bill being a lesbian if we, you know, never get a chance to see her interact with a girl on any of these adventures? Sarah on Legends of Tomorrow got to seduce Anne of Austria.

Heterosexual relationships in ancient Rome, of course, were not unequal partnerships based primarily on power, having little in common with a modern notion of equality or relationship.

David Troughton also appeared in "Midnight", I believe, opposite the 10th Doctor.

I wish Empress of Mars had been that.

Sandifer's review is pretty great:

It's like pretty much all the Pertwee ones where he and Jo go off into space.

Forgot Gatiss was in multiple - I remembered Lazarus Experiment, but not Wedding of River Song.

We don't really know. There could have been a big time gap between Hell Bent and Husbands, no?

(See below)

But you'd agree that "a penis with multiple limbs and an enormous eye" is the proper way to describe Alpha Centauri, right?

The beginning part, where the Doctor is lying around being useless and Nyssa is basically in charge, is uneven and slow - there's a whole part where Nyssa and Tegan just carry the Doctor in a box through the woods. I do like Nyssa getting to be in charge and actually do things, since after that she almost always gets…

I mean, Sontaran Experiment was only four stories after Monster of Peladon.

Having someone who you know can crank out a competent television episode with no problems (and who sometimes even writes something pretty good) is not to be thrown away lightly.

Ainley himself was also good as Tremas in Keeper of Traken, but obviously Tremas, in spite of his name, was not the Master.

Castrovalva has its moments.

Hmm? First appearance of Sontarans was in The Time Warrior, first story of Season 11. Last appearance of Ice Warriors was in The Monster of Peladon, which was the second to last story of Season 11. So they certainly overlapped.

Gatiss is always your guy for "stories that remind you of the classic show" - to go to the most obvious examples, Unquiet Dead and Robot of Sherwood were both pretty unapologetic Robert Holmes pastiches and Cold War was a straight up Troughton-era base under siege.
