November 22nd, 2015 - 9:52amForgot to say I was laughing not crying. But yeah, the reason why she died was because a bird pecked her. Wow so deadly.

November 22nd, 2015 - 9:01amIt’s as if Steven Moffatt can write the greatest single stories, but can’t handle the show as the show-runner at all. Writing has just been horribly inconsistent and downright awful the past few years (as mirrored by the incredible decline in viewership/ratings in the UK; (although u.s. viewership is increasing) hence a possibility of hiatus/cancellation in the next 2-3 years). Clara’s character shifted to however they needed it in every episode. Go back and watch each of her episodes – there is almost no character development; rather molding the character to fit the stories. Lazy writing, by a slew of poor writers. Seeing this episode, while not the worst of the series this year, just further demonstrated the failure of proper character development and skilled narrative writing.

November 22nd, 2015 - 8:57amDunno about Katarina, but Adric’s death is not ON SCREEN in the same way as Clara’s. His last seconds are seen before the shot of the ship is shown & the others reactions. Picky I know & it’s probably down to budgets or the time slot in the 80’s, but always read the question(or statement in this case).

November 22nd, 2015 - 8:38amMy thoughts exactly.

November 22nd, 2015 - 7:13amThis is my theory
In the final episode “HELL Bent” the doctor will try to save Clara by going to another dimension (perhaps omegas but I sadly doubt it) where you travel to after you die and do other things such as work at a bar (real hell not a missy mock-up) and he will find Clara and Danny who may have a son or daughter who may be orsons great grandad or grandmother. He will promise about taking them home but Danny will say he cannot because he died on earth (but maybe in a better way then that.) Clara will say something like this:
“I had my life on earth, a life of shopping and school and noisy concerts and running around after or away from monsters.
But now I have this life that is the same in many ways,but at least in this life I have Danny and a family to look after and take round town and shop with. Doctor don’t ever beat yourself up this wasn’t your fault. It was mine I chose to save Rigsy,to save his family. Don’t be hard on Ashildr either she couldn’t change it and neither can you. Thank you doctor for the planets and monsters, thank you for a wonderful life and for being the best friend in any universe could even begin to dream of. Thank you. Go now doctor go and see planets battle the monsters and Villians but take someone with you. Show them the wonders of the universe and the terrors too. Go and live your life but don’t forget me. Go and be the only thing you can ever be, be the doctor.”
He shall then return to this universe for christmas day.
A christmas he won’t forget. A christmas with a Song.

November 22nd, 2015 - 4:54amI miss her already. I think she made Capaldi a better Doctor. I also loved her shift of attitude throughout her time

November 22nd, 2015 - 3:26amApart from Clara becoming the South Park Kenny of Dr Who mythology can anyone remember her as a waitress this series as evidenced by the photos of the actress dressed as a waitress? Another resurrection as with the 11th Doctor?

November 22nd, 2015 - 2:09amI mean, I could join the Doctor but to be honest its too much work trying to steal gold from the vaults of kararaxos. I might just change my name back to Lady Christina De Souza

November 22nd, 2015 - 1:43amAmy and Rory didn’t die though?
Last companion death was Adric in ‘Earthshock’.

Doctor Stu
November 22nd, 2015 - 12:23amThe woman gets zapped inside a dalek, jumps into the doctors time stream, splits herself into a million pieces, gets her mind nearly eaten by the teller, nearly gets blown up by the skovox blitzer, gets turned into a Dalek, battles an army of cybermen, the Master and the daleks………gets killed by a Raven

November 22nd, 2015 - 12:20amBecause Jenna Coleman has decided to leave the show and we are not allowed to have a companion just return to a normal life like what usually happened in the old days.
Doctor Stu
November 22nd, 2015 - 12:16amNot gonna lie with the whole human/alien shift thing where we got to see the monsters underneath the humans I was actually expecting to see that the boy was a smiler in reality
Doctor Stu
November 22nd, 2015 - 12:14amMaybe it was spatial genetic multiplicity or maybe not because they’ve both got pink as their last name. Can’t believe Clara’s dead but I don’t know whether to be that concerned about it given that moffatt just lies to everyone

November 21st, 2015 - 11:56pmOne theory is he is a lateral descendant of Danny and not from Danny’s (and Clara’s) offspring as we assumed.
The Moffat Paradox
November 21st, 2015 - 11:54pmStill not fully convinced for the reason he just left her body that she really is just dead yet because of the Impossible Girl backstory.
The Living Shadow
November 21st, 2015 - 11:46pmI was wondering about how Orson Pink exists too…

November 21st, 2015 - 11:39pmAnother stunning story. They did very well to fit all that into a single episode.
Unless answers are gonna come over next 2 weeks, am I the only one who is confused how Danny Pink was the ancestor of Orson Pink from Listen.

November 21st, 2015 - 11:36pmMy Dad told me once about how he left my great nana to look after his African grey parrot when he was younger and she accidently put poisonous substances in its food, he came back to find that it had unfortunately died – I think she’s the only one who could face the raven! 😉

November 21st, 2015 - 11:35pmMaybe the Doctor is just shocked. When you lose somebody important it sometimes doesn’t strike you immediately. Moreover, the Eleventh Doctor was way more emotional.

November 21st, 2015 - 11:31pmI have mixed feelings about the episode. I loved it and hated it at the same time.
