Exactly! It made me definitely want another Doctor Clara episode

Maybe but she did then have to explain it to everyone. No idea honestly

Touche, my mistake :) I got tripped up by the word "monsters"

Oh excellent observation!!!!!! Love it.

And it was so natural, she did everything the Doctor would do, she just for that time basically was The Doctor. It just proved my ongoing thesis that all you have to do to do a female Doctor right is treat her like she's the Doctor.

There was nothing Clara did that wouldn't have worked were she the actual Doctor.

I think it's pretty seemless, this is the first appearance that was out of the blue really. All others were people dying and thus going to "heaven" which I think is as tied in/more tied in (just not as subtle, which I do miss) than Bad Wolf or Vote Saxon or The bees are disappearing (my fav hint/ end game build). I…

Indeed and the way he basically teased him for being willing to die (another Doctor thing, here's a man ready to die and she's like jovially saying ok if you want but here's a better idea)

Ahh figured that might be it but didn't want to assume. XD

:)

For curiosity why?

Oh and also the closest we've ever gotten to that amazing Oswin version of Clara that introduced us all to Jenna Coleman.

Lied to him, lied to Danny, lied to the group to maintain morale (a conclusion she came to through rather cold logic), seemed to not fully clue in anyone but Rigsy (not sure if she actually clued him in either) on the masterful hunch final plan that had it failed would have killed them all incredibly quickly (it was a…

Also just a nitpick but the Mummy last week was decisively not evil, he was as much a victim as anyone else. A soldier trapped in a perpetual war due to broken tech likely assigned and forced upon him by someone higher up in the command chain (like say oh I don't know an Officer)

This was hands down the best episode of this series and honestly my personal favorite of the entire NuWho.

Something that won't get talked about by many is that this episode basically showed everyone what a female Doctor could look like. Spoilers: She'd be like any other Doctor, unique in her own right but with…

Jesus Christ you GGers can't even fucking boycott properly. Why are you even here anymore?

Fun fact I have a massive crush on Steve Buscemi

The fuck? Getting a trans woman writer and training her and giving her a door into the industry is cheating?

Also you are like my favorite person to interact with on trans issues here and at GT

<3

Yeah no you can learn medical jargon, a doctor is a job, you can't ever really learn what it is like to have lived life as a trans person. Which isn't to say that cis folk should never trans characters but you cannot cannot dismiss the importance of giving trans folk the chance to write about their experiences and…

Indeed.

""I think great writers should write great shows," she told Soloway, "and I have trouble with, like, what you are in life shouldn't automatically make you what you do in your art. It doesn't necessarily translate."

That is such a fucking bullshit statement that has been used to constantly reinforce the Whiter…

It's still a ridiculous statement. You don't get to decide who is The Other.
