I just think they should have cast a new companion. Clara should have ended with the 11th doctor.
Don't they often have a companion carry over as a sort of "bridge" element from an old doctor to the new one? (I haven't made a study of it. But that's not always true either. Maybe it was something to do with the actress' contract?)
Something I know from my brief time in live theater - what the actors/director see and what the audience sees are two different things. So, when we knew and worked with each other, the bits that someone came up with would delight us but meant nothing to the audience. That might be the same thing here - or maybe the show runner had a particular story to tell and WHY am I playing devil's advocate here for a show I haven't even seen? STOP ME NOW.
