* If the Doctors memory is reset every visit, why doesn't he make the same mistake and die the first time, every time? Surely, the only way to survive is by learning from the previous mistakes, which is what happens! Therefore, his memories are not reset! | * If the Doctors memory is reset every visit, why doesn't he make the same mistake and die the first time, every time?

* What is the purpose of the octagonal room with the arrows pointing to the center, and wouldn't it be reset each time? I can vaguely understand the removed part of it being under the dirt (perhaps that helps it avoid the reset) but where it came from i'd assume would reset and erase the arrows. If it doesn't why not store more specific information there instead of obscure breadcrumbs? | * What is the purpose of the octagonal room with the arrows pointing to the center, and wouldn't it be reset each time?

**Because the Doctor's clever enough to figure it out. | |||
* I'm not even sure why the Veil is such a threat. I'll assume it's invulnerable. But since the grave area can be barricaded against it and one time he digs all night it's clear he can get more than 82 minutes of peace, sleep or research in. The Veil doesn't have infinite strength or it could have forced the door open against the Doctor. With time to dig it would almost seem reasonable he could lay traps for it not to hurt it but to impair it's movement perhaps keeping it in the grave area instead of outside. Or let the door open when done, have it walk in, circle around and go back out again since it's not infinitely fast. | * I'm not even sure why the Veil is such a threat.

**Regeneration can be halted in various ways, such as stabbing both hearts. Alternately, the woman had reached the end of her regeneration cycle. | |||
