Whether you liked Clara as a companion or not, she owned up to her actions and accepted the responsibility and consequences without blaming anyone else. She continued her legacy of saving the Doctor to the best of her ability even unto death, which she met with as much dignity and grace as the situation allowed. If for nothing else, she deserves respect for that.
I generally don’t mind Clara’s fake deaths as they do build on her character as something of an addict who got too much like the Doctor for her own good. Eventually it was going to catch up with her. I also love when the Raven hits her she hold out her arms like she’s going to regenerate but then she falls with black smoke pouring from her instead of golden energy. Great symbolism in this episode. I’d argue the fake put deaths are better under Moffat than RTD, Rose got absolutely ridiculous towards the end of her run.
I think this is one of the rare occasions where knowing in advance that Jenna Coleman was leaving made it easier to accept it was real. We all knew this was it for her. I vividly remember watching it while internally screaming "NOT LIKE THIS, THIS IS BRUTAL!"
"I WILL END YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU LOVE!" When the most feared thing in all the universe speaks those words, you have but one option; run...
Excerpt from Me's journals; "Then, when he said, "You'll find that it's a very small universe when I AM ANGRY WITH YOU." I shat myself."
Series 9 solidified Capaldi as my favourite Doctor. His speech in episode 8 was amazing. His final scenes in this episode were amazing. But the next episode is probably my favourite Doctor Who episode ever!
The Doctor is no longer here. Interesting how sometimes this incarnation separates himself from the Doctor persona. We havent see that before in any incarnation. 12 questions his identity and purpose more than any other.
I don't understand why the line "you shouldn't have to ask" was contradicted. It's not about removing Clara's ability to decide for herself (or 'agency', as per the modern vernacular), it's about the Doctor's desire to protect without reward. Thing is, whose 'agency' do you retain in that situation - Clara's or the Doctor's? Unless you really think that scene was about a man telling a woman to do, in which case I really don't know what to say about that, frankly.
Capaldi has so many great lines before this episode, it's easy to forget this is where most Whovians started to pay attention to his run as the 12th Doctor. Case in point when he goes full 10 "Fury of a timelord" with "The Doctor isn't here right now, you're stuck with me" and "The universe is a VERY small place when I'm angry at you" I will say that Moffat had too much of a tendency for bringing dead characters back or doing death fake outs(such as Amy and Rory) which tends to nerf the in the moment feelings. But there's no shortage of amazing performances here, from Jenna to Maise to Capaldi.....all incredible
"Why can't I be like you?" being like the Doctor is not always a good thing. There's a reason they're not good without companions for long.
"The Doctor is no longer here, you're stuck with me!"
Capaldi is absolutely chilling in this episode. You really feel just how dangerous the man underneath really is. We've had glimpses of this before (Family of Blood and A Good Man Goes to War, spring to mind), but there's just something so terrifying in the way Peter delivers those lines. He honestly feels like he's suddenly playing a villain.
I know everyone talks about the last 10 minutes or so, but I think it's worth mentioning how great the previous 35 were too. Even without the bold emotional ending, "Face the Raven" would be a fantastic episode, and a very strong debut for writer Sarah Dollard. The decision to take the idea of 'Trap Streets' and turn them into hidden streets where alien refugees live in secret was absolutely inspired, and featuring some brilliant bits of worldbuilding, such as the uneasy relationships between the aliens and humans, as well as the Quantum Shade, which is a subtly unnerving concept that's executed fantastically. The mystery plot is also really compelling, as with "Under the Lake" earlier this series, it's great fun to see the Doctor and Clara playing detective and trying to work out who set up Rigsy, and the way it all built up to the reveal that the whole mystery was a trap to ensnare the Doctor was a brilliantly shocking moment. The countdown on Rigsy's neck also keeps the tension escalating throughout the story, and it helps that the character has once again been written and performed in such a likeable fashion. A particularly underrated moment I find is the sequence where they encounter Anah's "corpse" - Clara goes into Doctory moralising about the outrage of condemning Rigsy based on nothing, while he simply asks what her name is, a great moment that emphasises the ersatz Doctor/companion relationship they have.
I understand the dislike with the "death" of Clara. the point was the Universe gave the Doctor someone on par with him, someone to stay with him. In the end she became to much like him. On Peter's acting in this episode, he is the only Doctor I've actually been afraid of. That line, " You've read the stories, you know who I am. In all that time did you ever hear of anyone who stopped me?" Is right up there with Matt Smith in A Good Man Goes To War.
Clara was chasing the Raven one way or another since Danny died. Sooner or later, it would chase her back.
adore this episode and also adore the next two and always will. clara's "why can't i be like you" shatters my heart every time
Love this episode. It is beautifully tragic. Clara " I will die, and no one else, here or anywhere, will suffer." Doctor "What about me?"
Next episode is my favorite of the season and the moment between the Doctor and Clara at the end is great, happy thanksgiving and enjoy the continual viewing
“She was saving you.”
The next episode is the best of all time by itself but when you realise the context and all the little things it elevates it to the next level everything is perfect in it. Can’t wait for it
