Still no good explanation for why they went to all this trouble trying to get to 5/24.
5/24 is blocked off? Have you tried 5/23 and the old time lord trick of "waiting"?
Also, why are gods so easy to get rid of, lately? And how did Omega actually get a body and a way out of the anti-matter universe?
Same reason why he never went back to Ruby Road to find out Ruby's mother's identity: he'd already been there once.
My understanding is that, as the Doctor had already been there on the 23rd (tracking down Belinda after Conrad told him about her), he didn't want to cross his own timestream if he could possibly avoid it, and preferred to arrive after his past self had left. Yes, you CAN cross your own timestream, as many crossover specials have shown, but the Doctor considers it an unnecessary risk when the vindicator option is available.
