re: Doctor Who season finale (Spoiler) - yurintroubl on 5/19/13 at 1:29 amWell the place they were meeting was called "the desktop" and it was constructed of (mostly Vastra's) memories. Perhaps it was somehow linked to/powered by the mainframe in the library. That's what I was thinking, anyways....
