A strong companion intro episode! I'm glad you like Clara, my only issue with all the flirting is that the Doctor just got married last series...

James Miller

You're going to love Clara's story. While I think Series 5 and 6 were the best of the show, and Amy and Rory are my favorite companions, Clara was great, too.

2026-10-31 21:00 Yep too true... But also, if we assume that time isn't a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff. Remembering that when The Doctor first meets River, she dies a physical death, albeit saved and left on a shelf. Maybe, arguably, to The Doctor, they might consider their relationship with River to be somewhat like the a mild Schrodinger's cat metaphor. Both simultaneously being married and widowed, until actually being with her at the same point in time. That's not to say I am a major fan of the less platonic relationships. Just a perspective shift when talking about the complexity that is this marriage to River.. 😉

According to subtitles, the woman Clara's mom is talking to is *supposedly* Jackie Tyler

Jenna-Louise Coleman really is great. Clara is a great companion. This episode itself is a bit silly (e.g. the motorcycle), but it's fun, and it's a good intro to modern-era Clara Oswald.

I was very upset with the loss of Oswin Oswald; I was beyond perturbed when we lost Clara Oswald. Then you gave me Clara and everything was all better. J Coleman was three different Clara's, and they were three different and distinct characters, all different Claras and they all worked. I still think they should have brought Victorian Clara into this future. Amy and Rory in the TARDIS, Donna in the TARDIS, were in a battle for my favorite Companion.... Geronimo!!!!!

Ooo. I hadnt thought of it, but strong “Celebrity traitors” links in this episode, Celia and Richard…

I'm not particularly interested in Clara and the Doctor as a romantic pairing. That said, I genuinely don't think of either the Doctor or River as monogamists.

It's great how playful the episode is -- driving the motorcycle up the Shard! I like Clara in this one, too, though Moffat sure does have a fetish when it comes to women.

"Early on in the internet." – Stop it... I feel so old already. No need to de-age the internet by decades! As Gen X and born in the year of the first time "internet" was written down, the internet has existed for all my conscious life. You know: Gen X, the true millennials. ;)
