dude if anything, this episode just confirmed that the doctor loves clara so fucking much; clara lies to keep things under control (the episode STARTED this way, folks); and that danny making her promise to tell her when the doctor pushes her too far is THE MOST FORESHADOWING SHIT EVER. especially since clara kept SO MUCH from danny in re: the doctor, and was obviously nervous for him to approve of the doctor in the end.

THIS IS RELATED TO WHOUFFALDI BECAUSE I REALLY NEED Y’ALL TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT CLARA’S FACE WHEN SHE SAYS CERTAIN DISTRESSING THINGS

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF LIES AND DECEPTION AND THE DRAMATIC NONSENSE INVOLVED IN BOTH?

like

idk man i don’t see this ship in danger, i see it doing exactly what i expected it to do and bringing forth the really clear idea that the doctor realizes he isn’t matching up in the ways he wants to for clara, and that UPSETS HIM. and really, you’d have to be incredibly naive NOT to realize that the doctor is lacking in traits that clara DESERVES. he has to realize this himself, and he has to GAIN THEM.

because otherwise you have boring bullshit romances with no problems or hiccups or realistic complications, you just have trite and meaningless, unchallenged puppy love

but the most improtant thing is OLLIE IS IN THE NETHERSPHERE

DID MALCOLM PUT HIM THERE?
