* This is point two.
::Explanation of point two.
::Further discussion and query of point two.

... and so on. 

• Why would the Morax wait so long to implement their plan to use King James as a vessel? They clearly had a headstart on the Doctor and her friends?

It wasn't especially long. Plus, they had to get him to the hill and set up the killing. Admittedly, the ending does seem sort of rushed but these things take a while.
