MOFFAT RETCONNED THE WEB OF FEAR. Probably not the most important thing about this ep, but it was the thing I spent MOST TIME EXPLAINING TO FAMILY. Yes, people, the 1967 Underground Map on that lunch box has just CHANGED THE STORY SLIGHTLY for four episodes that were broadcast about fifty years ago and don't exist anymore, LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THAT IN LOTS OF DETAIL. Oh, how they admired my knowledge! *has never seen The Web of Fear but would like to know more*
Also, love at The Snowmen/The Abominable Snowmen for being SORT OF LIKE THE MOST HALF-ASSED NOT ACTUALLY A PUN EVER. V V SAD, however, at the Doctor going all "hmm, Great Intelligence, that sounds familiar...?" as if he NO LONGER REMEMBERS the most awesome years of his life. FORSHAME. Please, tell me more!
But, really, I am quite yarg we don't get this Clara. I loved her ambition, her intelligence, her determination to beat the class system and her ability to fit in so well as either middle or working class. And her Mary Poppins/Maria von Trapp schtick. I suppose if you were going to kill her, she had to be properly convincing BUT STILL. All the Claras are one Clara. We'll get her back. And Oswin.
And two thumbs-up for new TARDIS interior: it's got a very retro rocket feel that makes me think of classic fifties sciffy. Same here. Very sci-fi. Very mysterious.
Nodded along with everything so shall leave it there. Must go do RL things.
