* This is the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E2TheWitchsFamiliar second time]] the Doctor sacrifices something of his future self to achive his goals. Back then it's possible the Doctor hadn't yet decided that [[Recap/DoctorWho2017CSTwiceUponATime he didn't wish to regenerate again]], but here it's almost certain that he was creating a debt he had no intention of paying.

* The Doctor was escorted throughout the flashback; from the moment he arrived on the boat to the moment he pulled the lever, he was in sight of the Fatality Index Guy. So when the heck did he "fiddle with the wiring"? Well, when FIG is explaining how the execution equipment works, the Doctor replies, "I ''know'' how it works." The only time he could have sabotaged the device is '''before''' his official arrival. Which means he was going to spare Missy all along! (This also would explain how he ended up in the position of executioner -- he never meant to carry it out!)
**One bit of supporting evidence, in hindsight, is when Missy says she is his friend, and the Doctor replies, "It makes no difference." What does that echo? [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E11DarkWater "Do you really think I care for you so little, the betrayal would make any difference?"]]





to:

\n* Why is the Doctor here, not only as an executioner, but also taking on the obligation to guard the Vault for ''a thousand years''. This goes completely against character -- what sort of hold do these experts in death have over the Doctor, that he would allow himself to be in such a position?
**The Doctor, according to Nardole, came here from Darillium. Were they the reason he had to at last leave River Song?

!'''Fridge Logic'''

* An alien computer that's been kept top secret from all real people ''really'' shouldn't be able to connect to an outside computer network. For that matter, why does the alien computer have email capabilities in the first place?
** The simulation is more like a holodeck than a traditional computer, as demonstrated by people from the simulation visiting the white room with the hologram projectors. So just picture a holodeck character using a simulated commbadge to contact someone outside the holodeck. (I think [[NamesTheSame the other]] [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Doctor]] does that all the time!)

!'''Fridge Brilliance'''

* Nardole, while dressed as a monk, brings the Doctor River Song's diary. In many ways, that book is a bible for the Doctor--it's full of meaning for him and tells him how to go about right and wrong. It's even literally about someone who died to save him.
