Clara also means bright, as opposed to the effects of the GI.

@Shazzbot Also just read your Cold War theory post in full. This’ll teach me to not skim posts!

@Shazzbot

I’m clutching at straws to build my theory that we haven’t been seeing Clara Prime this whole half-series. I think it’s a good one, and I think the fainting business might be a key to unlocking […]

@budinacup Oh yeah! Forgot about that in the read-through.

Another thing. Who did take those photos of Fragment Claras? Is that what we’re calling her?

Catching up!

@ScaryB

And then the reveal of the extremely dark, guilty secret in his personal cellar – this person who has done terrible things, but who in some ways is him.  He’s confronted directly with […]

Well, the first leaf we saw was that which smacked her dad in the face. That’s the one the Doctor was shown investigating; who’s to say he didn’t take it around that time? The second leaf, the one eaten by […]

Aren’t there two leaves?

Oh, back to theories, what happened to the ‘cameos’ for past Doctors? Did that run throughout this half of the series?

@budinacup Thanks. Yeah, sorry, the thing about that ‘trailer’ was the Silence mention. They’ve been such an integral part of the Eleventh’s tenure, you see, and have been out of sight – whether defeated or gone […]

Zygons? Never heard of them. I predict they’ll somehow help the Doctor out of the timestream using Nessie. Does it matter that they seem to be enemies?

@ScaryB Ah. Yes. Right. I’d go sit in a corner but in the name of peace and sanity?

That suggests his secret (the other?) is indeed dangerous. What could be worse than ending the Time War?

@OsakaHatter

so what would the HurtDoctor have had to do to annoy them more than that?

Capture one and have Edvard Munch use them for a painting. The Stetson/fez etc wasn’t really necessary.

I had wondered about that very point, a dead person/creature could lie but difficult to tell in the Whoniverse! Of course, it could be referring to Clara’s question ‘Who is he?’ – a second instance of the question […]

@budinacup If the Silence actually appear, spoiler. If just the speech, not a spoiler. Phew then! It’s trickier than usual as it’s the event it is! Spoiler avoidance will be up to eleven. Sorry. We’re very good at […]

@budinacup

in fact if you are to watch the 50th anniversary trailer on BBC it is very heavy in The Silence.

Spoiler? Oh well.

@brotherjohn @MTGradwell She calls herself Souffle Girl near the start of this episode when attempting to make one the way her mum did and ‘this time I’ll get it right’.

The desktop thing could be odd, I suppose, but she’s also time travelled. In the TARDIS. An injoke then 🙂 I think the Taj Mahal was the important thing, being a giant mausoleum to honour a wife’s memory. Again, […]

@Shazzbot? What are you sorry for? I don’t have a real clue about the series either, that’s the appeal! 😀

But yes, the Silence. They are/were both religious order (seemingly as an alliance of several races) […]

@ScaryB 😀 Courtesy of @Whisht.

@BadWulf Sorry, what’s series 6C about? I’m still going for the first theory but open to other past tense ones!

@chickenelly Yes, Ten got shot by a Dalek in Journey’s End and […]
