@miapatrick Infinite life, finite memory, teenager, easy to manipulate, big ball of hormones and emotions, a rather convenient teleport bracelet, are you thinking what I’m thinking?

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@Whisht I think you’ve hit the nail on the head by saying Clara was once again The Hanged Man. I also have an idea as to what will be gained as a result of her sacrifice. I’ll post my theory over on the spoilers thread though because it involves the last two episodes.

Welcome, @akhaten! I’m sure you will enjoy it here and it’s always nice to see new faces!

@pedant the thought of an immortal teenager is rather terrifying, isn’t it? I can only imagine what I’d be like as an immortal, and I’d rather not meet me. I mean, having all those hormones floating around in you, forever? That would be a living nightmare.

@avaris

I see her death as result of the lack of luck.

This. This sums up my feelings on the matter completely. She did something The Doctor would definitely do, and was just unfortunate this was the one time that wouldn’t work. Because sometimes, once in a blue moon, but sometimes, The Doctor loses.

My brain might have just clicked as to why last weeks episode was important. It was the hint that we were being provided of Clara’s death. Because Clara was acting like The Doctor, she’d learnt the first rule to being him, the rule that Missy told her: If you believe you will win then you are more likely to. But last week was the reminder that it…[Read more]

Over on the Raven thread @serahni just said something which made me think back to this and the 2nd Zygon episode. (obviously don’t go investigate unless you’ve see Face The Raven) From The Zygon Inversion:

Clara: So you must have thought I was dead for a while?
<i>Doctor: Yeah.
Clara: How was that?
Doctor: Longest<b> month</b> of my life.
Clara:…[Read more]

Well, I didn’t expect that. I guess once Clara took the chronolock from Rigsy I should have known what would happen, but I just couldn’t let myself believe it. all the way until the raven actually took her I was still of the belief it could still be CapDoc. It’s rather fitting that Clara’s death comes when she is most like The Doctor, a reminder…[Read more]

@phaseshift so THAT’s what the hybridness in Sleep No More was! The IndoJapanese environment!

@Kharis and what is Sand but grinded down stone? I fully support your wonderful bonkerising!

@purofilion @kharis In regards to whether Sleep No More is a standalone or not, I’m really rather puzzled. I didn’t include it in my ring narrative theory, and it does make it very clear to me how it was supposed to be in S8, but at the same time you make a compelling case for it to be important to the current story arc. It is unquestionable that…[Read more]

@phaseshift Thank you! sorry about that, I hope you had a good night.

@bluesqueakpip

::cough:: Rule Zero: Moffat lies. ::cough::

How did I forget that?!

Now that you mention it, I can see CapDoc has been staring at Clara a lot this series. Maybe a rewatch of S8 is needed to see how far back he’s been doing it. If it was there last series as well then it might be pointing back to Name of the Doctor

@bluesqueakpip ah right, so it was just the PS that was the problem, gotcha! as for Clara’s ending, I’m still trying to puzzle my head around Moffat’s words. 

Why though? It just doesn’t make any sense to me, and i don’t think it will until we actually have seen the last 3…[Read more]

@Phaseshift  how do I move my post (#47346) to the spoilers page? I can’t seem to work it out

@bluesqueakpip my sincerest apologies! I don’t know how to move it to the spoilers page, how do I do that?

I’m beginning to wonder if there is possibly a link between the Lake/Flood 2-parter and the Zygon 2-parter. and in turn will there be a link between Apprentice/Familiar and Heaven/Hell.
I mean ignoring Sleep and Raven for the moment, then there’s 10 episodes, all as 2-parters. and the middle 2: Girl Who Died and Woman Who Lived, definitely seem to…[Read more]
