Moffat is a bipolar, manic genius - he never puts in anything random without having acres and acres of planning behind it - he understands Deep Politics, and he understands the practice, methods, and cultural grammar of Predictive Programming.
When he writes something that looks and sounds completely jarring, incongruous and out of place, it's not due to carelessness or bad writing - it's because he wants you to see something that not everyone will have the eyes to see (much less want to).
So when a Siluran Reptilian Humanoid Lizard-woman drops in fro the ceiling to "rescue" the (newly Scottish) Doctor and says "Stay Where you are, in the Name of the British Empire!", those of is whose brains work in the same kind of way know exactly what he means...
Vastra is meant to a Consulting (I.e. private) Detective.
And also, a non-naturalised illegal alien.
And a lizard.

"But your own planet, it burned."

So where are they?
Heaven..?
Or the Other place...
From the Book of Enoch
1,2 And I proceeded to where things were chaotic. And I saw there something horrible: I saw neither 3 a heaven above nor a firmly founded earth, but a place chaotic and horrible. And there I saw 4 seven stars of the heaven bound together in it, like great mountains and burning with fire. Then 5 I said: 'For what sin are they bound, and on what account have they been cast in hither?' Then said Uriel, one of the holy angels, who was with me, and was chief over them, and said: 'Enoch, why 6 dost thou ask, and why art thou eager for the truth? These are of the number of the stars of heaven, which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and are bound here till ten thousand years, 7 the time entailed by their sins, are consummated.' And from thence I went to another place, which was still more horrible than the former, and I saw a horrible thing: a great fire there which burnt and blazed, and the place was cleft as far as the abyss, being full of great descending columns of 8 fire: neither its extent or magnitude could I see, nor could I conjecture. Then I said: 'How 9 fearful is the place and how terrible to look upon!' Then Uriel answered me, one of the holy angels who was with me, and said unto me: 'Enoch, why hast thou such fear and affright?' And 10 I answered: 'Because of this fearful place, and because of the spectacle of the pain.' And he said unto me: 'This place is the prison of the angels, and here they will be imprisoned for ever.'
The Lonely God - The Chief of Ten..?
"And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names of their leaders:
Samlaz-az, their leader, Arakl-ba, Rame-el, Kokabl-el, Taml-el, Raml-el, Dan-el, Ezeqe-el, Baraqij-al, Aza-el, Armar-os, Batar-el, Anan-el, Zaqi-el, Samsape-el, Satar-el, Tur-el, Jomja-el, Sari-el.
These are their chiefs of tens."

DISCLAIMER : Freemasons lie an awful lot, especially to one another and most particularly at the Blue Levels - which exist solely as protracted personal induction or probation period to ensure and verify that you are capable of keeping a secret and a man of your word.
This goes quadruple for anything the Freemasons might actually PRINT, or write to each other, so much (if not all) of the below explanation is likely NOT TRUE.
Or, at the very least, only so true as to be still appropriate for public consumption.
Generally speaking, since the first thing all Masons are taught is that mathematics (and by extension numbers and geometry) are the only absolutes in terms of (moral) truth, if it has numbers or measurements in it that you can verify, it's more likely to be true than any kind of narrative analogy or parable used to instruct the initiate.

JACHIN AND BOAZ
"AND he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz." (II Chron. 17.)
Very likely some of us have wondered what was the meaning of these two mysterious pillars set up by Solomon in front of his temple, and why they were called by these strange names; and then we have dropped the subject as one of those inexplicable things handed down in the Bible from old time which, we suppose, can have no practical interest for us at the present day. Nevertheless, these strange names are not without a purpose. They contain the key to the entire Bible and to the whole order of Nature, and as emblems of the two great principles that are the pillars of the universe, they fitly stood at the threshold of that temple which was designed to symbolise all the mysteries of Being.
In all the languages of the Semitic stock the letters J and Y are interchangeable, as we see in the modern Arabic "Yakub" for "Jacob" and the old Hebrew "Yaveh" for "Jehovah." This gives us the form [paragraph continues] "Yachin," which at once reveals the enigma. The word Yak signifies "one"; and the termination "hi," or "hin," is an intensitive which may be rendered in English by "only." Thus the word "Jachin" resolves itself into the words "one only," the all-embracing Unity.
The meaning of Boaz is clearly seen in the book of Ruth. There Boaz appears as the kinsman exercising the right of pre-emption so familiar to those versed in Oriental law--a right which has for its purpose the maintenance of the Family as the social unit. According to this widely-spread custom, the purchaser, who is not a member of the family, buys the property subject to the right of kinsmen within certain degrees to purchase it back, and so bring it once more into the family to which it originally belonged. Whatever may be our personal opinions regarding the vexed questions of dogmatic theology, we can all agree as to the general principle indicated in the role acted by Boaz. He brings back the alienated estate into the family--that is to say, he "redeems" it in the legal sense of the word. As a matter of law his power to do this results from his membership in the family; but his motive for doing it is love, his affection for Ruth. Without pushing the analogy too far we may say, then, that Boaz represents the principle of redemption in the widest sense of reclaiming an estate by right of relationship, while the innermost moving power in its recovery is Love.
This is what Boaz stands for in the beautiful story of Ruth, and there is no reason why we should not let the same name stand for the same thing when we seek the meaning of the mysterious pillar. Thus the two pillars typify Unity and the redeeming power of Love, with the significant suggestion that the redemption results from the Unity. They correspond with the two "bonds," or uniting principles spoken of by St. Paul, "the Unity of the Spirit which is the Bond of Peace," and "Love, which is the Bond of Perfectness."
The former is Unity of Being; the latter, Unity of Intention: and the principle of this Dual-Unity is well illustrated by the story of Boaz. The whole story proceeds on the idea of the Family as the social unit, the root-conception of all Oriental law, and if we consider the Family in this light, we shall see how exactly it embodies the two-fold idea of Jachin and Boaz, unity of Being and unity of Thought. The Family forms a unit because all the members proceed from a common progenitor, and are thus all of one blood; but, although this gives them a natural unity of Being of which they cannot divest themselves, it is not enough in itself to make them a united family, as unfortunately experience too often shows. Something more is wanted, and that something is Love. There must be a personal union brought about by sympathetic Thought to complete the natural union resulting from birth. The inherent unity must be expressed by the Individual volition of each member, and thus the Family becomes the ideally perfect social unit; a truth to which St. Paul alludes when he calls God the Father from Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. Thus Boaz stands for the principle which brings back to the original Unity that which has been for a time separated from it. There has never been any separation of actual Being--the family right always subsisted in the property even while in the hands of strangers, otherwise it could never have been brought back; but it requires the Love principle to put this right into effective operation.
When this begins to work in the knowledge of its right to do so, then there is the return of the individual to the Unity, and the recognition of himself as the particular expression of the Universal in virtue of his own nature.
These two pillars, therefore, stand for the two great spiritual principles that are the basis of all Life: Jachin typifying the Unity resulting from Being, and Boaz typifying the Unity resulting from Love. In this Dual-Unity we find the key to all conceivable involution or evolution of Spirit; and it is therefore not without reason that the record of these two ancient pillars has been preserved in our Scriptures. And finally we may take this as an index to the character of our Scriptures generally. They contain infinite meanings; and often those passages which appear on the surface to be most meaningless will be found to possess the deepest significance. The Book, which we often read so superficially, hides beneath its sometimes seemingly trivial words the secrets of other things. The twin pillars Jachin and Boaz bear witness to this truth. 1
Footnotes
196:1 The following comment was made by Judge Troward, after the publication of this paper in Expression:
"The Two Pillars of the Universe are Personality and Mathematics, represented by Boaz and Jachin respectively. This is the broadest simplification to which it is possible to reduce things. Balance consists in preserving the Equilibrium or Alternating Current between these two Principles. Personality is the Absolute Factor. Mathematics are the Relative Factor, for they merely Measure different Rates or Scales. They are absolute in this respect. A particular scale having been selected all its sequences will follow by an inexorable Law of Order and Proportion; but the selection of the scale and the change from one scale to another rests entirely with Personality. What Personality can not do is to make one Scale produce the results of another, but it can set aside one scale and substitute another for it. Hence Personality contains in itself the Universal Scale, or can either accommodate itself to lower rates of motion already established, or can raise them to its own rate of motion. Hence Personality is the grand Ultimate Fact in all things.
"Different personalities should be regarded as different degrees of consciousness. They are different degrees of emergence of The Power that knows Itself."
Although not clearly visible here, the summit of either of the Boaz/Jachin clock towers designed by Wren has upon each an inverted pine cone or pineapple (as tour guides are often delighted to point out to baffled tourists).
Freemasons (rightly) revere the pineal.
And always drink bottled water.
Significantly, the pineal gland is located within the oldest, most "primitive" (long-ago evolved/perfected) reptilian cortex within the human brain.
The Ancients knew it to be associated with the Third Eye, and directly connected the appearance and stimulus of direct sunlight upon the brow with higher sensory experiences relation to spirituality.
In reptiles, and many amphibious species, this is actually directly verifiable by way of an outwardly distinct and visible photosensitive Third Eye in the middle of the forehead:
Silurians do indeed have three eyes (or used to).
But Vastra's warrior tribe do not display the same kind of psionic ability previously seen amongst Morka and K'to's Scientific Oligarchy under Wenley Moore.
Although, now, thinking about it - her ability to create and host transtemporal, non-coporeal conference calls on the astral plain, involving other people, other minds, from other species, in other eras, irrespective of whether they themselves are even alive or dead...
At least now their sex life finally seems to at least make sense...
WE MAY NOTE : Vastra has mamalian "People" eyes - she has a soul.
Mackey’s Encyclopedia of Freemasonry discusses the symbol of the the mosaic pavement:
“The mosaic pavement in an old symbol of the Order. It is met with in the earliest rituals of the last century. It is classed among the ornaments of the lodge along with the indented tessel and the blazing star. Its party-colored stones of black and white have been readily and appropriately interpreted as symbols of the evil and good of human life.”

There's also BIG overtones there, commenting on the fact that very soon, the Doctor essentially just won't be British anymore.
"...they probably want to secede from the rest of my face and set up their own independent state of eyebrows, and that's Scot...
I have, haven't I, I've gone Scottish..."
"Auw.... Ah'm Scauttish...!"
(Then fry something)
Almost from the first moment he becomes Scottish, he immediately takes up drinking.
Anyway - the point here is that if he is now Scottish, in a matter of weeks, he will no longer be British... Whereas, were he to have remained (nominally) English (or even become Welsh), he would still be British, but if he's Scottish, that will soon no longer be true - most Americans don't understand this, ALL English people don't understand this (and moreover, don't care).
This is how you end up casting George Lazenby - Cubby Broccoli doesn't understand the difference.
But for anyone who might be Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Canadian, Australian or Kiwi, the distinction is fundamental and profound - all these people are victims of the British system placed in positions of inferiority relative to the English under British governance.
We need at least one Venn Diagram to clear this one up:
The likelihood is that the Act of Union 1709 will be nullified within the next coming months, and that Scotland will formally disassociate and remove itself from the United Kingdom, just as (most of) Ireland did in 1921, having formally entered the Union on a purported coequal basis early in the previous century.
If Scotland too annuls it's recognition of the Act of Union and reasserts it's national sovereignty, that will consequently bring about the termination of the United Kingdom as a national entity - the Queen will still (for now, anyway - and in future, it quite well may not be the same one as is crowned in England...) be the Queen of Scotland, as well as England (and Australia, Canada, New Zealand, etc. etc....), but Scotland will effectively become a Crown Dominion with a status much as has previously been afforded to Canada, Australia, at one point India, and all the other of the most important Colonies and outposts of the British Empire. Or even Mamdatory Palestine...

Which must, then, surely revert once more to being the English Empire - as indeed it had been understood and conceived prior to the ill-fared Darien Expedition of 1701....
Doctor Who has always been British - and indeed, the Doctor himself has always been British.
You might say, in some ways that Doctor Who is the ultimate product of the first generation of patent, BBC-brand multiculturalism... Before the deluge of post-modern radical nominalism prompted the reactionary backlash that made that the dirty word some now seem to insist that it is....
As though "Cultural Marxism" was not itself the very epitome of radical nominalism.
Multiculturalism, especially in a state broadcaster like the BBC is a wonderful thing - at least in an era ten years before even the peak (for which, read "absolute lowest depths") of The Black and White Minstral Show, Larry Grayson's Generation Game and It Ain't 'alf Hot, Mum. And Savile.
In fact, it's fair to say, that at its best, and in it's totality, Doctor Who has always been a product of the victims of the British :
Canadians,
Gay Indians,
Pushy Jewish Birds from Golders Green not called Cohen,
Scotsmen and the Welsh.
Yorkshiremen,
Australians,
(Certainly more than just a Mouth on Legs, that one...)
And of course the Scouse atheist ex-Monk builder from Jersey.
Yes. Anyway...
The point is that these are all British outsiders - not wanted under the principles under which the imperial (Anglophile) system worked.
None of them would be considered for potential membership of the Lodge, for example...

Is that quite what he had in mind....?
Well, the same is true of many parents.
Marie Antoinette was the Austrian-French Hapsburg Queen, whose reputation in France was purposely destroyed via pre-meditate Masonic intruige, the so-called Necklace Affair - a wholly synthetic, manufactured scandal promulgated by the Magician Cogliostro to ferment xenophobic class-resentment amongst th French urban proletariat and the bourgeoisee.
"The Lord Shelburne machine owned France's Philippe Duke of Orleans, cousin and enemy to Louis XVI, and opponent of the French nation-building tradition which was now being applied to the American cause. Shelburne and the Duke of Orleans employed creatures from the swamp of mystics and charlatans centered in the freemasonic lodges of Lyons, France, in particular the Martinist Order. Among the Martinists who performed in the staged 1780s-1790s French destabilizations were Franz Anton Mesmer, Count Cagliostro (real name Giuseppe Balsamo), Jacques Cazotte, Fabré d'Olivet, and Joseph de Maistre.
Martinism, a mocking perversion of Catholicism, considers Fallen Man to be in exile in this earthly existence, deprived of his powers. Man can only restore his original condition by initiation to the inner ranks of a secret society, through purgative violence—sado-masochistic rituals, torture, and human sacrifices. As a candidate learns to tolerate injury to others, he gives up his human identity, the sympathy which was celebrated in the Peace of Westphalia as the "Advantage of the Other." He loses the Platonic and Christian truth that men prosper by seeking to benefit others rather than themselves.
This pagan ritualism breeds heartless imperial soldiers and fanatic gang leaders, as Mithraic Stoicism did for the Roman Caesars. After Martinism guided successive French coups, its banker-proprietors spun it into Synarchy and fascism—while labeling it Conservatism or fundamentalist Christianity.
Cagliostro had already published a Letter to the French (June 20, 1786) prophesying that "The Bastille shall be completely destroyed, and the land upon which it had been erected shall become a promenade area." The "Count" made this pronouncement after his meetings with the Scottish Rite Mother Lodge in London.
Queen Marie-Antoinette was the particular target of Shelburne's Martinists. The Queen's brother, Austrian Emperor Joseph II, sponsored Wolfgang Mozart, whose music illuminated Joseph's Vienna and his sister Marie-Antoinette's Paris. Marie personally acted in a performance of The Marriage of Figaro, a play by Franklin's arms supplier Caron de Beaumarchais, satirizing the pornographic, still-feudal oligarchy (Mozart's opera was based on the play). The enraged Orleanists repeatedly interfered, trying to stop the play's performance at the Royal court, just as the Duke of Orleans—"Philippe Égalité" as he called himself for the Jacobins—had forced Mozart himself out of Paris in 1778.
The gossip roiling Parisian streets against Marie-Antoinette came from the assassination warmup known as the Affair of the Necklace.
Cagliostro and his occultist brothers enabled a designing countess, down on her luck, to embroil a Cardinal in a scam involving the purchase, for the Queen, of an exorbitantly expensive necklace she explicitly did not want. The arrest of the countess and Cardinal was played into a scandal vilifying Marie-Antoinette as extravagant, unfeeling, and foreign, amidst starvation. The Countess who stole the necklace escaped prison and fled to England where she was falsely celebrated as a poor victim of tyranny.
The French King and Queen would be executed."
ADDENDUM: This one story continues to grow:
Cooper: Have either of you fellas heard of the White Lodge
Hawk: Where’d you hear of it?
Cooper: Well, it was the last thing Major Briggs said to me before he disappeared.
Hawk: Cooper, you may be fearless in this world, but there are other worlds.
Cooper: Tell me more.
Hawk: My people believe the White Lodge is the place where the spirits that rule men and nature here reside.
Truman: Local legend, goes way back.
Hawk: There is also a legend of a place called the Black Lodge, the shadow-self of the White Lodge. The legend says that every soul must pass through there on the way to perfection. There you will meet your own shadow-self. My people call it The Dweller on the Threshold…but it is said if you face the Lodge with imperfect courage, it will utterly annihilate your soul.
"Who do you think this is, there...?"
"What is a doppelganger?
Literally, a 'double walker' (German).
One definition of doppelganger (and the earliest on record) is "one who has seen himself". Such an experience was taken as an ill omen, namely one of impending death. One doppelganger tradition has it that when the doppelganger meets the person, they mutually annihilate each other.
In Twin Peaks, it would appear that the doppelgangers are the embodiment of the 'dark side' of one's personality, the accumulation of all his/her bad karma.
Such a thing, called The Dweller on the Threshold, was supposed to confront the initiate on the 'astral plane' as a force to be overcome (c.f., Hawk's speech in episode 18).
The expression 'Dweller on the Threshold' first appears in Bulwer-Lytton's novel "Zanoni". "
