Human attachment is amazing. Our hearts send out tendrils of connection to anything moves us, be that other people, animals, objects, even fictional characters. I am surprised to be this sad about Clara’s death. I shouldn’t be. I understand how we attach, how it works and why. Doctor Who fits in my mind and heart […]
Read more "Goodbye Clara Oswin Oswald"If these first two episodes are reflective of the rest of the Series 9 stories, then am I excited for what the next 10 weeks will bring. On the whole, I found The Witch’s Familiar as satisfying as The Magician’s Apprentice. The various pop culture media spheres seem to agree that Clara is Missy’s familiar. […]

Yet, there are decades of Classic Who to watch, and 8 years New Who to re-watch, and Christmas is a mere 6 […]

Read more "A Great Love Story: Dark Water"Despite the LOL moments of this episode, of which there are many, we are treated to a darker side of Clara. As she becomes more Doctorish, is she losing her humanity?
Read more "DUIT (Driving Under the Influence of TARDIS)"Yes! The moment I have been waiting for…the Doctor claimed his title and told the bad guys to skedaddle. However, we find the Doctor taking on his mantle somewhat reluctantly. Does the Doctor really want to be the Doctor any more?
Read more "The Doctor Is In The House!"From Asylum of Daleks until today, there have always been (at least) two Clara’s. How deep does this story go? Is Clara Oswin Oswald more than she seems?
