sooner clara goes the better, REALLY hoping she does fuck off in the christmas special
[QUOTE=Lexinator;46214230]I don't get what Clara meant by Did a wizard put a curse on you about mini-breaks?[/QUOTE] every time the Doctor goes somewhere to relax, bad shit ends up happening but the Doctor didn't go there to relax so the comment is void
[QUOTE=Grizz;46209555]Hey, thought you should see this. It has clips from new episodes. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-OTYT02W7E[/media] [/QUOTE] Great video
Just finished watching yesterday's episode. Easily my favourite this season.
why does Moffat have such a boner for shit like that? Alternate history and the like? Kinda gimmicky now imo Gimmicky is my new favourite word
[QUOTE=mphayes97;46214089] the change of heart at the end that clara needed the opinions of danny (not of her own free will) to feel like she was [I]permitted[/I] to travel with the doctor.[/QUOTE] Ehhh I agree with you about everything else but I think the whole permission thing is dumb, she was just calling her boyfriend and seeing what he thought.

[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;46214342]why does Moffat have such a boner for shit like that? Alternate history and the like? Kinda gimmicky now imo Gimmicky is my new favourite word[/QUOTE]but moffat didn't write the episode...
Ohh I see whats going on in that shot.. everything is overgrown with plants, thats probably "In the Forest of the Night"
[QUOTE=Freeze;46214361]but moffat didn't write the episode...[/QUOTE] he still outlines all of the episodes plots
[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;46214423]he still outlines all of the episodes plots[/QUOTE]But a lot of the time don't the writers come up with the main ideas (eg using the orient express in space)? I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Jamie Mathieson said he came to Moffat with the idea to use it.
[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;46214392]tbh, I really dig alternate histories.[/QUOTE] alternate history stuff is fucking awesome
I'm really confused as to why Clara is so butthurt all the time.
[QUOTE=BarnacleDrive;46214348]I think the whole permission thing is dumb, she was just calling her boyfriend and seeing what he thought. [sp] misogyny conspirators unite [/sp][/QUOTE] [QUOTE=mphayes97;46214089]AND to top it off it was written with the change of heart at the end that clara needed the opinions of danny (not of her own free will) to feel like she was [I]permitted[/I] to travel with the doctor.[/QUOTE] what she called danny and he was like "is it over? you coming back? see you in a bit lol". then she lied to the doctor and told him that danny was okay with her staying with the doctor because she wanted to keep travelling with her did you even watch the episode or what
[QUOTE=evlbzltyr;46214944]what she called danny and he was like "is it over? you coming back? see you in a bit lol". then she lied to the doctor and told him that danny was okay with her staying with the doctor because she wanted to keep travelling with her did you even watch the episode or what[/QUOTE] yeah, sorry, that actually went over my head - I was just thinking that she DEFINITELY didn't call to ask for permission.
[QUOTE=Zeos;46214916]I'm really confused as to why Clara is so butthurt all the time.[/QUOTE] my guess is because she was used to how Matt Smith was a doctor, caring and trying to help anyone and everyone while Peters doctor is bit more, "eh well, you're fucked, I'm gonna get a calculated point from your death though"
I'm just glad that it's character drama and not her being important to the fabric of the universe. Getting rid of the Impossible Girl plot after it ran it's course was the best thing they could have possibly done. Here's hoping the next companion is normal and doesn't have some plot arc revolving around them that isn't character focused.

jack was my favorite even though he was more of a sub-companion
I'd like another male companion, or the relationship drama to change to dealing with the Doctor's morality rather than whether or not they want to travel with them. A good contrast to this Doctor's moral greyness would be somebody pushing for the more morally white option more actively.
I get the feeling that Perkins was more than just a character for the last episode. Whoever brought everyone on the train clearly wanted somebody to figure out what was driving the mummy, and Perkins excuse for having the information (passenger manifest, etc.) readily available seemed too easy for the Doctor. Also, despite him being the ships mechanical engineer I didn't feel as though he properly fit in with the rest of the crew that was originally left in the laboratory. As well, Freeze's spoiler [sp]Life support failing [/sp] being fitted in with this week's episode and [sp] Perkins fiddling with some of the mechanics in the Tardis [/sp] sort of helps tie it together for me.
[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;46213304]We get it, you like Jack Harkness. plsstop[/QUOTE] Is there anyone who doesn't?
Dunno if this trailer has already been posted: [video=youtube;tvmhZa4Vfp8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvmhZa4Vfp8[/video]
[QUOTE]"Do you love being the man making the impossible choice? Is it like an addiction? "You can't really tell if something's an addiction till you try and give it up." "And you never have."[/QUOTE] wasn't the 2012 christmas special exactly this
[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;46221324]Did she just said what I think she said.[/QUOTE] She's the new Doctor, you didn't know?
[QUOTE=Freeze;46221197]Dunno if this trailer has already been posted: [video=youtube;tvmhZa4Vfp8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvmhZa4Vfp8[/video][/QUOTE] Oh god is this going to be a Clara focused episode?
Yay a Clara episode!
it is nothing like the lodger
[QUOTE=quinaquin;46221991]Yay a Clara episode![/QUOTE] oh god please no
Clara is fine in Flatline, good even. Flatline was the second episode of Series 8 I saw and I wouldn't have known (and didn't know) that she was mad at the Doctor in the episodes beforehand.
