No – he remembers the adventures. That was clearly stated in-text. The Ice Warrior on the sub and the Mummy on the Orient Express

Oh yeah! I only watched the episode today due to not being in range of a TV when it aired and have only had time to watch it once so I missed the fact that he says that he remembers the adventures, I will have to go back and re watch to see what else I missed. 🙂

I suppose he must know himself on some instinctual type level but I think it will be interesting to see how the writers handle everything and whether or not the doctor changes at all next season due to forgetting some things.I think if he only forgets her but remembers the adventures themselves then not much will change but if he forgets the adventures themselves then he would change, after all people are made up of their experiences and such.

I agree that the timelords do seem to be both stupid and psychotic at the same time and I have to wonder how they were apparently so well respected back in the day. (maybe they get stupider the more times they regenerate? lol). I suppose we can partly blame the timewar but they were doing some questionable things before that. I agree that I have no idea how they managed to build a TARDIS or anything else. I swear the Doctor is the only sane one of the lot and he’s not that sane to begin with. 🙂

Either way bring on the Christmas special and next season!!

I suppose your right but I was kinda thinking about like how much he knows about this regeneration, no doubt he remembers his past selves and stuff but I think he learnt a lot about himself while they were having adventures so since he doesn’t remember her and what they did does that mean that he would forget the things he learnt, does that make sense?
I mean each time he regenerates he basically has to learn about himself from scratch, he would have done this while with Clara so wouldn’t he forget those memories completely? Or am I completely wrong here?

I must say I really enjoyed the episode but I do have a question…

Ok so the doctor has now forgotten Clara completely right? Including all of their adventures etc. But then how does he know anything about himself? He met her as the 11th and regenerated while with her, she has been his companion since the start so how does he know anything about himself if he has forgotten her and what they did together? (I suppose he had a few adventures while she was at home since she wasn’t always a full time traveler, but still).

Either way a great episode but it does leave some questions unanswered, including what on earth is up with the timelords and Gallifrey?
