The "secret" of Clara is revealed.

Is this directed at me?

I guess I'm lead to believe from your three comments that you don't much care for Next Generation, hmm?

I'm devastated :(

There are parts when the show delights in being bad, like when the Sonny and Cher started up, and it's fun. But then there's the rest of the show, which is just regular bad. The guy had a tail!

Well now I'm even more confused. Why on earth is the Doctor describing her as his perfect match? Perfectly brave, perfectly on his wavelength, perfect in every way?

What prequel? The one where the Doctor meets child Clara on the swingset? There's a second part with Coleman?

Yall need to stop making excuses for this stupid show. If the people writing it are told, with plenty of foreknowledge, that they aren't allowed to write multipart episodes, and they keep fucking it up that's on them. That's their own incompetence.

You Brits and/or original series fans need to own up to the fact that TNG did it better, and in doing so have set themselves up as the standard to which all other borg and cybermen stories need be judged by.

When Picard was merged with the Borg he became Locutus, which was awesome. When the Doctor was merged with the Cybermen, he became manic Data from Star Trek Generations, which was not. If you're gonna rip off the Borg plot, don't be afraid to get caught ripping off the Borg plot. When Indiana Jones gets brainwashed in…

She's the British import the showrunners first intentioned to replace Michael with as manager before she flopped her cameo hardcore and James Spader turned out to be catching lightning in a bottle.

It deserves the F for sheer technical incompetence alone. That paintball duel was so unwatchably atrocious I think that Fast & Furious director who did Modern Warfare must be some sort of genius. Star Trek: TOS had more engaging fight scenes. Heck, amateurs on youtube do better work that this.

This wouldn't have passed as an even mediocre episode of pre-cancellation Futurama…

No one else will mention this, but I enjoyed the bizarre attention to detail that Pharaoh had in wearing prosthetic hands just so he could do an extra long finger wag.

So no thoughts on the whole Allison bound and tortured her husband for hours on end scenes, and then her husband, burned, blistered chest and all, just limps back into bed with her?

It's a Marvel movie. They're secretly postmodern in values. New York gets sliced up by aliens in The Avengers and they all go out for food afterwards.

It's not a season of 24. Nor medieval times.

The show doesn't always do much of a build to anything, they usually just drop some random plot twist in the last five minutes of an episode and that's that.
