Doctor Who 7x08

[such_heights]

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

Their faces are just too much.

Considering this Clara's second episode as "proper companion", this parallelled beautifully with The Beast Below, which I wasn't a huge fan of the first time I saw it, but has grown to become one of my favorites. And this hit all of those same, lovely notes.

The Doctor, especially Eleventy + Small Children = Guaranteed Wonderfulness *sigh*

Oh and I particularly liked Eleven's evolution from "I never get involved in the affairs of other peoples or planets" to "We don't walk away". <3

Yes, as I was watching this it occurred to me that it was a lovely parallel to The Beast Below.
