I just watched them not too long ago too and had the same let-down feeling. I think that they treated Clara like a plot device more than a character too much so we didn't get to see a lot of who she is or her personality aside from the characteristics we have come to expect from a companion: clever, brave, in love

I know I sound like a broken record at this point but how can all of these people make such obscene profits off the back of unpaid labor? The galling thing here isn't even that he got a bonus of one week's pay. It's that his existing salary is already $18,000 a week. I just ...

America is a lot like Camelot. It's a very silly place.
