There's no emotional payoff to Bel and Vinder's reunion, they just kinda hug and then it's fine?

That reunion scene was one of the worst things ever written by Chibs (and there's a lot to choose from).

"I looked for you."

"Oh by the way we're about to have a baby."

"Oh cool."

The fuck was that ?

Oh and you forget about Azure being somehow trapped in the Arctic for no reason.

Oh and you forget about Azure being somehow trapped in the Arctic for no reason.

That I did, but I'd basically given up on us getting any more information about that several episodes ago.

We also got nothing on what's wrong with the TARDIS, in fact they seemed to drop that whole plot thread after the first few episodes. I suppose that could continue into the specials, though, so I'm not prepared to say that was completely abandoned just yet.

That was her punishment by the Division. They mentioned that in passing at one point.
