Spoiler So Clara is really dead this time? No retcons or anything? No last minute changes? Frankly I think the original ending for the Christmas special was a better outing than this.
Maybe but I'm not entirely convinced, especially since we've still got two more episodes this season.
Am I the only one that wants to see Aishidr get her ass beat? If not by the Doctor, then someone else.
So how do you think they'll bring Clara back from the dead? Turns out the Raven doesn't really kill people maybe? Find a space wizard who brings her back?
They won't. Jenna Coleman is leaving at the end of this season, and the Clara in the finale is probably a splinter.
Yeah no, this is Doctor Who, the place in which death has even less meaning than in comics or Transformers. Looking at the episode title "Face the Raven", taking into account how the wolf guy said not to run from it and how he looked sad that "they always run", plus Clara not only standing still but facing the Raven, well I bet facing the raven bravely gives you a second chance type thing. She'll probably show up as a sort of deus Ex Machina having fused with the Raven or some such BS saving the universe and the Doctor.
He will hopefully figure out he has no one to blame but himself by the time they meet again. Spoiler And then she can finally be his companion. xD For what?
I'm impressed by how all the clues came together here. Moffat actually managed to have everything add up in this episode. Plus he managed to do something genuinely dark and shocking. I must say, the 12h Doctor has the worst plans. Spoiler Get yourself killed again and again while slowly punching your way through a really thick wall of space diamond? 7 would've known this was coming, tricked the villain into sabotaging his own plan and blown up the castle by the episode's end. Spoiler If I was to guess as to what's been going on, I'd say the Doctor was playing the game of Rassilon (pocket edition). The person regenerating in the next time trailer was likely Rassilon, so they won't need to bring back Timothy Dalton. Overall, a decent episode. Very slow start but picked up towards the end for a very shocking twist. Edit: Spoiler I didn't quite understand how the castle ending up in the confession dial made sense but I just read a review that explained that this was all how it forces you to confess. I don't know how I failed to figure that out. I guess the Doctor wasn't in some mini version of the Death Zone like I thought.
We just watched episodes 9 and 10 and my god, episode 9 is hands down the worst episode to come out since "Love and Monsters." It was terrible. Whoever thought it was a good idea to do a found footage episode was an idiot because it did not work. The plot didn't make a lick of sense and it just stops, there was no resolution. The next episode though was great, but I'm really surprised they got rid of Clara like that. DAMN!!
