This one's just a huge mess.
One moment it's a Disney fantasy. Another moment it's a Carl Sagan monologue. Then it's bits of the Silence, a Final Fantasy last boss, a second last boss, and last boss in final form.
One moment the Doctor is enjoying the religious rituals of the land, next he shows absolutely no regard for the societal fallout and dismay that should have happened (but apparently, magically, didn't) following the collapse of their religion and order.
The last boss dies because Clara makes a benign comment about "what should have been" -- as if all the people who made offerings in the past had no aspirations associated with their trinkets for the whole of their recorded history.
Then the Tardis translation stops working for the barking person.
And when they can't figure out what to do with a character, he just gets himself teleported out.
Ambition without substance.
