I try not to get technical, but at times I can't help it and this comes a lot with how new episodes come up with these "romanticized" explanations of things. Making things more fantastical than scientific, I mean. Like destroying [[Cybermen]] with love.

The thing that's bothering me is that the [[Great Intelligence]] and [[Clara]] were said to be scattered across the Doctor's '''entire''' timeline. For obvious reasons, we only see a few clips of passed episodes, some used for both Clara and the Intelligence like ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'' or ''[[The Five Doctors]]'', as opposed to dozens of past clips with the two inserted. But because of this, I believe they were only scattered to certain points in the Doctor's timeline and not "all across" it. If that were the case, then even after Clara leaves the Doctor we should see her saving the Doctor from time to time in her various incarnations. Granted, she should have been seen over the past 49 years, technically speaking, but if they cut her out entirely it would defeat Moffat's own continuity.

What do others think? Also consider that all the inserted Claras conveniently knew to call out "Doctor" when Oswin and Victorian Clara had to interact with him to help him. Honestly, how does calling out "Doctor" help him when he's trapped in [[the Matrix]] or hanging off the cliff. The only time it works is when the [[Time Scoop]] is chasing the [[Third Doctor]] and she warns him. So I really think being "spread across the entire time stream" really means only certain points.
