Stuff That Needs Explaining

The child that Danny Pink brought to Clara through that timey wimey. Is that gonna be explained?Will she ask The Doctor for help in finding his parents? Has Clara found his parents or relatives? Did the incident really happen or is Danny Pink just a figment of Clara and The Doctor's imagination? Stuff that needs explaining

If were really going down the road of assessing stuff that still needs explaining in the Moffat era (and likely never will be) , it'll take about a page Just to list all the questions.

Season 8 was Clara's dream. None of it made any sense, just like a dream. Denny pink is just a character in her dream just like the moon is an egg.

Clara's dream would be a kind of easy way out but possibly something. The Moon is not a shape of an egg and never will be

Why did the Doctor wake up in the Dark Water volcano at the end of Last Christmas?

That would be the dream sequence Dark Water volcano in a Christmas special all about dreams.

I've had a look at Last Christmas again, Father Christmas woke up The Doctor. The Doctor woke up Clara.

I really want the opening two-parter of series 9 to provide a decent explanation for why Missy 'chose' to pair the Doctor and Clara together. I mean really, why did she go out of her way to do that? It's not like she had some grand plan for them or anything, she just seemed to give the Doctor a new companion for the hell of it. Why? And why Clara - the girl that the Doctor was searching for at the time - when she could have had any 'control freak'? Did Missy know that the Doctor wanted to find Clara? Or is it just the biggest co-incidence of all time that she delivered Clara to the man who was searching obsessively for her back in "The Bells of Saint John"?

I would also like to know if Clara remembers that the Doctor didn't find Gallifrey. All the other humans who awoke from the dream in "Last Christmas" appeared to have no memory of their dreams, so perhaps Clara doesn't remember the Doctor's admission that he didn't find Gallifrey?

Missy must be a co-incidence in all this, is Missy a different Missy or are there many Missys?

As far as 'Missy finding the one person the doctor was looking for' as far as I can see that's not co-incidence, it's a time loop. Missy chooses Clara for reasons unknown, she becomes his companion, then in name of the doctor is splintered across his timeline leading the doctor to encounter splinters of her earlier in his timeline which then leads him to look for her in the first place.

Basically the doctor was only looking for Clara because of an event that would happen when she already knew him, something Missy neither had a hand in or could control.

As such I believe that as far as we know, Missy's choice of Clara was nothing to do with the fact that the doctor was already looking for her, and since I don't think the impossible girl stuff is anything the writers are in a hurry to drag back up again, I doubt Missy's choice of her will have anything to do with all that.

I do agree that we should get some sort of explanation as to why she put them together though, more substantial than her just being a control freak, but based on Moffats past storylines where he finds more fun in the set up than actually putting effort into the resolution, or not even bothering to answer some things at all, I'm not exactly holding out too much hope/expectancy.

Who's to say that possibly Clara chose to meet Missy but could still be a co-incidence . Danny Pink could be the starting point, could Danny Pink have mentioned Missy to Clara? Clara mentioned Missy to The Doctor. Started a whole collection of events, gathering to a point of something and lots of pointing, then we have to wait and see but that is when stuff needs explaining.

Whatever the explanation is, I'm just not interested.

Why was William Hartnell parked in a scrap yard?
Why did Patrick Troughton play a flute?

Some things just don't need answers.

Some eggs are spherical.

My question is...

How much longer is Dr Who going to be such a fantastic show?

A long time... hopefully...

Eggs are very versatile

Dr Who is like a wheel, just keeps turning though square wheels are a problem.
