I'm really wondering what they're leading to with that ending.Originally Posted by Mr Mystery
One thing I'm confused on (SPOILERS to follow, if that's a necessary warning at this point): The medical kit (nanobots?) will just keep repairing her. People "grow old" by their cells decaying, so she wouldn't grow old (effectively being sort of immortal), I get that. But wouldn't she still be able to age to adulthood? I wouldn't think the medical kit would attack healthy new cells being created in her body, keeping her forever young.

Not if they're designed to freeze the biological state. Kind of like PC Imaging on a chip embedded in the machine, resetting it with every reboot.
Follow up is on now. It's superb!
And it continues being ace throughout!
Sadly not Ace though. I want Ace back, dammit.Last edited by Mr Mystery; 10-24-2015 at 02:08 PM.

(Have to say, her library of journals kind of reminded me of the one room in the TARDIS.)
The problem with being "frozen" is that it'd make it a touch difficult to have her on the show for years to come (despite being a character who'd be fun to keep around), because it's not going to be possible to keep people from noticing the actress aging, unless they do some makeup magic.
But she'll be back in episode 10 this season, in some way, so we're not done with her yet. (And really, how could we be? With that set up for her story arc, that has to be a character who sticks around.)

Bit too preachy for my liking, but it was well delivered.
