Are you high? Multi-part stories do not count as arcs. Stories leading into other stories do not count as arcs. That's just realism. The TARDIS leaves one place and lands somewhere else. Also, The Key to Time was a bunch of barely-connected mostly-independent stories, some of which just had the key segment tacked on awkwardly to make it fit in with the rest of the season (The Androids of Tara, for instance).

I could not agree more.
