Pshaw, I think Moffat is too dim-witted for his own Who. ;D
it seemed odd to me that the tone was so triumphant when hundreds? thousands? of people had just been snuffed.
Yeah, this was rather sad. But I think that the people who didn't have bodies: their bodies had already died and been mourned and buried, etc. It couldn't have been too many people because otherwise it would have been a news item, right? Still, yes, a bit of a disconnect there. Especially since, eg, as was pointed out to me in another person's reaction, the Doctor is saying that being stuck in a bodiless data cloud is a living hell, and that's kind of exactly what happened to River in Silence in the Library.
