**** Appreciate that he's currently at the moment stopping one of their worst criminals from causing trouble, yes. Appreciate that he hasn't executed said worst criminal, maybe not so much.



* If the Doctor didn't want to follow the sentence the executioners laid out and kill Missy, why does he still faithfully follow the part of the sentence that Missy should be locked up for 1,000 years, and he should personally guard the Vault for that whole time? The previous episodes made it seem like the promise the Doctor had made held some deep personal signifigance to him, but here we find out it was just a loophole he abused. Isn't his number one rule "The Doctor lies"?

* If Gallifrey is out of the Time Lock at this point, why did they have to summon the Doctor (known friend of the Master) rather than importing an executioner from Gallifrey?

** A lot of people disagree with the death penalty. Very few of them think that a better option is to spring a serial killer from Death Row and attempt to personally make sure they don't kill anyone else. By saving the Master from an execution that appears to be both legal and justified, the Doctor is effectively to blame for every death he/she will inevitably go on to cause. [[spoiler: Including, as it turns out, committing genocide against the Time Lords.]]

The episode tries to present the Doctor's actions as "goodness" but they actually come across as the worse of two evils.
