Maybe. I kept thinking that with so many inconsistencies, and then the eye-patch lady offering commentary, that at some point the Doctor would jump up and proclaim, "This isn't real at all! It makes no sense!"

One of my peeves is I hate plot holes, and this episode had enough of them to drive several Spaceship Titanics through.

Indeed.

Hair-livia
One detail I rather liked was how, over the course of several episodes, each -livia subtly and slowly began migrating her hairstyle back to her own preferred appearance.
