Why was Clara's apartment littered with sticky notes as though she'd been some detective work/conspiracy theorizing she wanted to run past Danny? Will that be explained? Why wasn't her growing wall of sticky the plot arc instead By the way, Missy still exists?
Why did the Doctor decide to find the afterlife, and then later scoff at the idea? Did he already have an idea 3W was up to something, and he used Clara as an excuse and means to investigate? That would make sense. Wish they could have set up his suspicions across the series. I guess they kind of did, thematically, with his repeated allusions to the audience being monsters, then showing Missy to be a kind of audience. But do you think that will be explained or even alluded to, or just left alone to make way for more tedious explanation?
I think the Doctor is still curious about the woman in the shop and the Promised Land. I think he's been slowly coming up with theories, and he's been using Clara this whole time. Maybe that's what Clara was cottoning on to. Maybe. I'm torn between thinking these are clever ideas that may still be revealed, and thinking these are obvious ideas that are being ignored by the writers. It's annoying. I want the good ideas to come out, but they're caked in so much trite that maybe we should just stand back and wait for someone else to fish them out.
How was Missy capturing people in Victorian London and whatever time in the distant future Into the Dalek takes place, but her plan is coming to fruition in 2016? Why have all the robots been looking for the Promised Land? Why does every script include the brain-cackingly awful line "That's a thing"?
