I suppose Danny could have a brother or progressively-minded sister we never heard of. Or an ex! "So, Clara, now that you've come clean about still traveling with the Doctor, I figured I should probably explain why I'm so busy on alternate weekends and holidays…"

I guess we've found out who pitched the way the Space-Dragon worked in "Kill the Moon."

He probably just did a little too much LDS back at Berkley.

Given how shameless the emotional manipulation was of Danny, I imagine he mostly got away with not activating his inhibitor because they didn't have enough time to work him over further. I expect that, sooner or later, almost everyone decided to push the "Delete" button after months, or years, or decades, or centuries…

I think it might date back to Lynda With a Y, but don't remember how far she made it through the audition process before she got Dalek'd.

I think the distinction is more about how easy it is to say something should be done and then leave someone else to actually do it, and have to be confronted with the weight of whether it was right or wrong. It's unlikely that whatever Colonel or General put Danny in that firefight was as disturbed by the killing of…

The Mistress implied the entire beginning of "Dark Water" was her goal from the start, picking Clara as someone who could push the Doctor to storm the gates of Heaven. Which would mean she had Danny killed…

He was still elected. Harold Saxon was Prime Minister for all of a week, during which he killed off most of the top politicians in the UK and murdered the President of the United States on live television. That's still enough to make him almost as bad as Thatcher.

A Doctor Who wiki contributor got to four with River, Liz 1, Marylin Monroe, and a woman from an Eighth Doctor novel I'd never heard of. I'm thinking that last one is a stretch, and it's supposed to be his implicit Gallifrey wife.

He never feels at home in a new body until he's gotten all of his increasingly-ridiculous tattoos.

That's my guess. It seemed to me more of a way to save production resources than to make them seem more killable. If I was going to engage in some wild speculation, I might guess that the intercuts on the Imperial bridge were a late addition to the episode, hence the hidden faces and slightly…

Better: Cyber-Danny is sent to the Asylum, and he falls for Oswin. Hijinks ensue, leading to a return to Doctor Who spin-offs with a sitcom featuring a Cyberman and Dalek trying to make their mixed marriage work.

Moffat wrote that line, and is the one who was proud of it (just as much for deflating the notion RTD was the dictator driving the "gay agenda" in Doctor Who).

Beyond the on-screen telegraphing, those example twists were all also called by the internet hive-mind nearly immediately. River being Amy's baby was called right at the beginning of season 6. The only ambiguity of how the Doctor would survive Lake Silencio was whether it'd be because of the Tesselectra or the Flesh.

That's just what RTD says. He's the writer, what the fuck does he know?

The Nethersphere didn't seem that nightmarish, aside from the cruel emotional manipulation to trick people into cyberizing themselves willingly. And the still-being-connected-to-your-corpse stuff. And the question of why you could hear sirens from the balcony. What does Heaven need with police cars or ambulances?

I'm not sure if they sit when dormant, but they do sit. At least, I remember the Cyber-Leaders (or whatever they're called in any given episode) usually have thrones or command-chairs.

Don't forget to forget the messy eating! And the cannibalism (well, technically, anthropophagy)!

The positioning is awkward, but the hand is wearing Clara's rings, not Missy's, has Clara's unpainted nails, not Missy's red ones, and has Clara's jacket sleeve, not Missy's crazy spiky bracelet. Plus, it seems like a teeny bit of a stretch to think the Mistress just managed to walk in and out of a locked TARDIS-proof…

1: At the end of the last episode, Danny asked Clara to tell him what was really going on after she had a chance to think it over. The post-its were all the things she had to tell him (mostly her adventures with the Doctor).
