oswinwaled: As of “Last Christmas”, the situation finally seems remedied when Clara, tricked by an illusion into believing that her life was almost over, outright stated that he was the only worthy husband she would ever accept. Do. Not. Hurt. Clara. Oswald. When she is at last Killed Off for Real in “Face the Raven” thanks …

Taking a moment to appreciate how lucky we were that Clara was in series 9
gwendolynnby: Because otherwise her story would have felt very incomplete. Let’s take a vague look at how that developed through the series Series 7: The Doctor meets the same woman in different time periods, something that is completely unprecedented and therefore makes no sense to him. He asks the third Clara he meets (that he …

There’s gotta be more to it than that, right? Right? After the regeneration energy while she was in the Dalek, after “I’m changing things to save Clara” in Before the Flood, after “longest month of my life,” after “which one of us is dying” — there must be one final twist coming up that allows her to depart in a way that’s not just lying dead in an alley. I know I’m in denial, but still. I’d be curious to know what your take is — you’re always spot on.

allthingscapaldi: Taking a few minutes off from doing my thesis just to put down some of my thoughts on last night’s episode. I don’t know what the general reaction has been to MotOE (I’ve managed to avoid spoilers here on Tumblr, since we only get torrents and stream links of Doctor Who episodes on Sunday …
Thoughts on Mummy on the Orient Express
capaldissexy: Be ye warned..this is long and gushing. I was a little puddle on the floor after I watched it last night and I’ve been writing ever since. Whouffaldi Moments The entire episode was a Whouffaldi extravaganza. They have nuclear sexual tension. Basically, we were worried for nothing. Phew! Basically, this is Clara and the …
