Maid Marian

She's stopped ageing, no? That's what she said in the ep anyway

Okay well she could still be killed, unless she's now immortal?

Okay. It makes a bit more sense now, but it's still ridiculous! Even if she had forgotten the Doctor, she could have been killed elsewhere or she'll die of old age anyway. :s-smilie:

She can't die of old age, she's a fixed moment in time and essentially will get no older.

Yeah it's odd and if she dies elsewhere then the universe is screwed.

And so all of this was because the Doctor couldn't bear to let her die? He only went to Gallifrey because he wanted her back?

Also I hated it when that important Gallifreyan regenerated :angry:

Yes. That point was hit home by Ashildr.

I think it was meant to point out how little Timelords value mortality, everything is beneath them as superior beings.

I see.
Well, I am so bloody disappointed. I didn't want the Doctor's return to Gallifrey to be overshadowed by Clara like that. :angry:

I don't even know why, but Maisie Williams makes me angry, everything about her character is unsympathetic, unlikeable, irritating, smug and just generally fkn annoying. If her character is meant to be all those things then fair play, that's stellar writing/acting, done her job to a tee. If not then Steven, you done ****ed it up son.

So why did he need to wipe Clara's memory so that she could live safely?

Because this way the Time Lords couldn't interrogate her to find out any information about The Doctor.

Okay but how could they have interrogated her when they're stuck in a pocket universe?

I only watched the first episode but from the trailers i've seen and a little bit of one of the episodes where the doctor is travelling alone I think. The Quality of the show is really declining, (just my opinion).

They're not. Gallifrey is back in the universe, just located far out of the way.

They're not, they're hiding at the end of time. However, since they have plenty of Tardises then they can go and find her anytime.

I personally think series 9 has been perfect apart from 1 two parter the girl who died/the woman who lived (that two parter just didn't make sense to me)
and peter capaldi could become my favourite doctor
Currently it's
Christopher Eccleston tied Peter Capaldi
Matt Smith
Peter Davison
Paul Mcgann
David Tennant

They've listed Davidson and McGann so obviously not. At a guess it's the ones they've seen episodes of

I think the problem here was that it was 2 episodes merged. The first half was great and should have developed but instead they found 'Me' and made the Doctor forget.

That said i actually like the ending (although i preferred the stay dead option). Clara is now biologically frozen in time until a point at which she dies and giving 'Me' a tardis raises many possibilities.

Hoping River becomes a good character and not a 5 minute save before crapmas.

Agreed!

Are we supposed to know what/who the hybrid is after that? I didn't understand ANY OF IT.

And I can't believe the Doctor went to Gallifrey and we didn't hear ONE SINGLE moment of the 'This is Gallifrey' theme... This show makes me want to weep and weep ...

I think it was the Doctor+Clara. It was a tricky one I'll admit but I think I got it. Really wanna know what she told him though.

Yeah, although I wasn't a massive fan of that theme so I'm not too bothered by that

The ending was good, didn't expect it to be that at all.

I couldn't agree more! I think her acting is shoddy (at best) which has made her a completely disingenuous character. A better actress might have been able to pull that character together (even with the half-arsed writing).

It's a shame, because I think the the idea behind her is really interesting it just didn't quite come together.
