What is going to happen to the Doctor and Clara (nothing good, I suspect), and which old acquaintances of theirs will be making a reappearance? Find out in the ornithological shenanigans of Face the RavenAnd

Oh, wow. I had read enough non-specific spoilers to decide that I was absolutely going to stop doing it and not read (or listen to) any fan reaction until after I'd seen it for myself. I have a bad, anxious habit of thoroughly spoiling myself so I know what I'm getting myself into. I'm glad I stopped... but kind of wish I hadn't read even the non-specific spoilers.

Listening to Two-Minute Time Lord podcast. "As a special perk for our 400th episode, this edition [...] comes with free counseling and therapy." Don't make me laugh hard enough to cry... no, wait, I already cried a bit.

That's really the only way I could see Clara going, and with her talking to the Doctor and saying with determination, "Let me be brave..." (and she was), that's... just the only way the addict (who was laughing wildly earlier at being in danger) could go, and it was fitting that she acknowledged that she wanted to face death like Danny and maybe that was always what she'd wanted.

I've loved seeing Capaldi and Coleman together, how they've sparked off each other, how they're great friends off-screen (and gracious and generous to each other), so it was kind of more their acting together in saying goodbye that choked me up more than the fact of her fate.

I waNT NeXt WEeK's EPIsoDe nOw, PLeaSe. ...Sorry, talking all weird now, but a Capaldi solo episode will apparently do that to me, hah. The effect he has on me is kind of beyond words...
