Typical bait and switch like they did with "The Doctor's Wife". They build up "we're going to reveal this" when their reveal is something completely different.
It seems appropriate that Clara "came into the world" on an object floating in the wind given all the Forrest Gump style process shots she ended up being in.
Yeah, I think bait and switch adequately describes it. I liked it, particularly the inclusion of all the older doctors, although notably missing was Paul McGann and the newer actors.
Overall enjoyable but it in no way makes up for the crap series this one has been. I've felt the whole season like the writers didn't know what to do with Clara and basically moved her around like a set piece. There wasn't any real lead up to this finale either and I did feel like parts of it were oversimplified and too quick.
Still John Hurt could be really cool. And as I've been saying since I saw it, if he turns out to be the Valeyard, this could be really sweet.
I liked the idea of a million Clara's split into a million universes - some where she lives and some where she dies but in all of them she can't help the doctor?????? Then what is the point. I need to watch this one again.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

I liked it!
Big, epic and John Hurt!
More crazy Moffat nonsense, but still a lot of fun.

Wake me when David Tennant gets here.
Pretty terrific with a good lead in to the 50th anniversary special....
Going to be a long wait till November.
I am not sure if Bait and Switch is right here. I never expected to hear his name to be honest.
I like how they explained Clara's dying over and over again all season. It was glad to see that she wasn't his daughter.
I am glad that we never heard The Doctor's name.
And overall I am impressed with Season 7 - much better than the last season.
