I never do this, but for once I have to talk about Doctor Who.  Season 7 is doing all sorts of things to my emotions, my hopes, my fears…  After the epic brilliance that was “Journey to the Center of the TARDIS,” I have to say stuff before I explode! 

First off, that book, “The History of the Time War.”  Who wrote that book if not the Doctor himself?  Nobody else was left…  But more importantly, WHY did he write HIS NAME in a language the TARDIS could translate for visitors, in a book on a pedestal just begging for attention??  Maybe that’s what he did all those years he was alone—write a book of remembrance for himself and his people, because he thought…

…he was ready to die alone and forgotten.  *cries*

Which leads me to Clara.  I really, truly want her to be something wonderful.  Not a tool of the G.I. meant to bring down or otherwise harm the Doctor, but something completely wonderful.  During a discussion with a friend, she brought up the idea that maybe Clara is a creation of the universe itself?  In the way the Doctor bargains with the universe, maybe she’s a gift, an acknowledgement of his sacrifices, an attempt to restore the balance.  She’s a paradox designed specifically to fill some great need of his, to save him, to draw him back out of the shadows, because even the universe can’t cope with the void the Doctor’s absence creates.  For all that he has lost and suffered, the universe owes him a huge, huge favor.  I want Clara to be part of that favor.  That would be nice.

Finally, this build-up to the finale, the prophecy concerning The Question… “Silence will fall when the question is asked”, “the Fields of Trenzalore and the Fall of the Eleventh”… An awful lot of falling there.  I assume it’s metaphorical, but given Moffat’s track record.  @____@;;

Clara fell to her death at the beginning of their relationship. Amelia’s book “Summer FALLS.”  Oh my goodness, Moffat, if you actually make The Doctor literally, physically fall, I will hunt you down.

That is all.

adelelorienne added: Yes, absolutely!  To that end, have you noticed the disturbing parallels being drawn between the Doctor and the monsters this season?  o.o  The cyborg in A Town Called Mercy, the parasite sun (“They called it “The Old God…and sometimes Grandfather”), the Ice Warrior despairing of being the last of its kind and going on a suicidal rampage, the secretive, lonely creature in Hide yearning for a companion across time/dimensions…

Save him, Clara.
