Doctor Who 7x08

Finally got the chance to watch last night's Who.

I loved it! I loved the backstory for Clara and the development of her relationship with the Doctor. And both of them are just precious with kids. Clara making that connection with the girl was lovely and a great character trait they're continuing to develop. And I'm so delighted that she goes back home again! She's not swept away and the Doctor is trying to learn from past mistakes - see also, admitting at least a little of what's going on, and how he needs to not do that.

Oh, Eleventy. I loved his big hero speech - even in those moments he's so sad in this totally heartbreaking way, it plays so differently to how it has done with previous Doctors. Very old and very kind and the very very last. <3333 And I will always love the emphasis on the importance of stories.

They're adorable and have good faces and I look forward to next week! :D

I have to say, I really loved this episode. It hit so many things that feel important about DW stories: bravery in the face of the unknown, protecting others, the big hero moment from the Doctor with smaller hero moments from his companion, the importance of stories and possibilities and imagination. I loved it so much more than last week.
