Glad that Clara will finally rap up before the end of the year, her character has gotten really boring and exhausting.

Also, what's with the "you'll never step into the TARDIS if I destroy all the keys"... uhh MOFFAT himself already worked into the canon that he can open it with a snap of his fingers.. how could he have possibly have forgotten that? I liked how one of they keys was in Matt Smith's purple frock coat pockets (hanging next to his tweed jacket).

There have been logical inconsistencies in every episode so far. Just odd goofy things that sort of take me out of the moment. Other than that, yeah, it's time for Clara to go. When he said, "Go to Hell" I was actually fully willing to go along with the ride and was looking forward to her becoming evil and destructive. I was hoping that he would have to send her to an alternate universe (something along the lines of Rose leaving) after a fight where he barely managed to defeat her. It would have been pretty cool. Sure it was touching the way it eventually panned out, but the end of the episode also destroyed what could have been a mythic journey for the three (Doc, Clara, Pink) of them. I found myself groaning at the prospect of...
