Doctor Who Episode 9x12: Hell Bent
I really loved this one - the only problems were that it seemed that we didn't hear the Doctor's confession (unless I missed something), and we still haven't found out how Orson Pink (from Listen) came to be. It might be one of those unexplained mysteries, like who the Doctor saw in "his" room in The God Complex.
Also, when was the character Ohila previously in the show? (I read she was, but I can't think when - it might have been during the Tennant or Smith eras).

Clara lives - sort of. That was completely unexpected, as I thought she'd only appear as the waitress in the wraparounds in the episode. So, as we have it, she's "frozen", and one heartbeat away from facing the raven. I'm hoping they'll find some way around it - like replacing her with a robot double like they did in "The Wedding of River Song", which will end up taking her fate and which will not mess up the timeline. Either that or she could get regeneration energy somehow that causes her to regenerate into someone else (Osgood, maybe - remember what she was coming out with in "The Zygon Inversion").
I liked that fact that Amy and Rory got mentioned, and the whole idea of the diner being a TARDIS was pretty neat. They could make a spinoff with Clara and Ashildr to replace the Sarah Jane Adventures! So, are we to believe that when they visited the place in "The Impossible Astronaut", it was a TARDIS too.
It was good to see the Doctor get his TARDIS back, though we're yet to find out how it got there (did Clara and Ashildr drag it there in their TARDIS?); we saw that activating it made the murals that Riggsy added flake off.
I also noticed that the Doctor had a wedding ring on in this one, but that seems to be from his wedding to River Song three series ago.
I also noticed they alluded to Donna with the whole idea of wiping Clara's memory, but this time they changed that around by having the Doctor lose his memory.
And without further ado, I have some polls! I hope many people (that is, not just one of you) will do them.
