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 lovedlovedloved the way their relationship developed in this episode. & the singing! & Clara being wonderful and the way she knows who she is and is so confident in it. & Eleven's character development too; I love that SO much.

There were a couple things I'd've changed (not about Clara & Eleven, just about the way the Big Bad of this episode just...didn't work for me), but I definitely thought it was a great continuation of last week's pretty strong start.

& Clara's speech at the end made me really want her & Martha to meet. Or her and Donna. Or you know, ALL OF THEM.
