The Great Intelligence is actually the Doctor’s dark thoughts made real and separate from himself by some accident.  A Dark Guardian Angel, or his Devil […]

I tend to disagree a bit.

It’s not a ‘closed loop’.  It’s a massive change, because it includes Fragmented Clara, and assumes Sexy (who already told us that she chose her Doctor) is controlling Clara […]

What if the thing he has done is not the Time War. Worse than that, he has at some point made the decision to make himself immortal?

Job done!

This monster was scary but wasn’t a monster at all!

Hidden Monster theme.

Is Clara a Hidden Monster?

I love the dark Doctor, Matt’s very good at menacing.

I’m a bit clueless about where the story arc […]

Clara is an enigma, for sure.  She is very self-assured and comfortable in her environment, despite it being so weird – and unlike most companions who almost invariably suffer some form of culture […]

Clara, however, isn’t the Tweflth […]

Indeed you’re right, Clara looks like she is being guided by the Tardis.  But why?  Does the Tardis realise Clara is an innocent trap, but with free will to change the course of events if she […]

Clara turns up in The Bells of St. John, after The Doctor has been hunting fruitlessly for her.

She is the “real” Clara whose password is merely incidental to the whole story, in […]
