So, the Doctor and SAM spent 17 years "rebuilding" her by giving her a childhood rather than just blipping into existence at 17. But I wonder how that really worked? If it was just her, one ~human hologram, and a bunch of Kasq-type entities, that doesn't seem like it would be a childhood anything at all like what a meat person would have. In the end it also makes for a strange situation even in science fiction. At the start of this episode, they were unrelated. At the end of the episode, one is the parent of the other, and not just in name but in actually having raised them.

How different will SAM be from here on out? They stated she was active for 209 days before being rebooted. So if she reached Earth age 17 and then had those old memories reinstated, it would mean "old SAM" would only account for about 3% of her existence. On the other hand, by the start of this episode it seems like already the vast majority of her existence is during the period of the show, and her behavior hasn't changed all that much.
