Doctor Who, Season Nine

[Aractus]

Yeah he's an idiot and he blatantly lied when he said (spoilers):

“Literally I have nothing in mind for Clara, she’s vanished from the fictional universe forever. But I think what she’s going to do by the end of this series will shock, horrify and surprise you, in roughly that order.” - his exact words at the Lucca Comics & Games panel

Yet she's floating around with Ashildr for God-knows how long in a TTC, while both of them are "immortal".

Moffat has really screwed up on the immorality front. At least Jack became the face of Boe overtime, yet we're meant to believe that the artificial device keeping Ashildr alive keeps her in a perfectly-preserved state perpetually. I'm not buying it - it's impossible. Human beings still need energy to function, every living thing does, and if those metabolic pathways are inhibited in anyway from the device then she's not going to stay in perfect condition for 4.5 billion years.

And he screwed up with Gallifrey as well. The Doctor emerges 4.5 billion years into the future, and at this point all the Timelords who once knew him would be long-since dead. Yet all of the Timelords know him and have known him before! It just makes no sense whatsoever. And now we know that Gallifrey survives until the end of time as well, so no he can never play the "Gallifrey in danger" card again.

The classic console room though is absolutely gorgeous. It just goes to prove they've never improved upon the original design seen in "An Unearthly Child". I just wish they'd bring it back permanently and get rid of the Smith era console rooms permanently. I never liked any of them, I did like the Eccleston-Tennant one though.
