I don’t think the ring was ever specifically defined as the Doctor’s wedding ring. It was designed to hide Peter Capaldi’s wedding ring, because he didn’t really want to be constantly taking it off.

I personally wouldn’t be too down on Rose.

I thought Rose was handled reasonably well with Eccleston, but it was a mistake in S2 to make the Rose/Doctor love-in.

Let me join your small but honourable group. I found the whole Rose/Ten dynamic horribly cringeworthy.

@puroandson  #48296 (I’m trying to catch up here, using post numbers) Both of you — “fixity of purpose”, yes.  Perfect.

@juniperfish
Speaking of roses, Clara in series 7 is heavily connected with the imagery of roses. There is always red in her apparel; Oswin has a rose on her ear; Victorian Clara work at the rose and crown.  I always think that Rose/ Bad Wolf has arrange the meeting of Clara and the Doctor.  I think there are still something mysterious a…[Read more]

They were rather different.

Before we watch one of the street people die, another character says “He should stay with her.” But he runs and the character asks “Why do they always run?”

When Clara died, she did not run. Also when the raven entered Clara’s body, there…[Read more]
