I actually love how the Doctors relationship with Clara is right now.
I completely understand why he’s so… what’s the right word, attached? to her.
He just went through this big lose with Amy. Amy Pond, a person he was so close to. He traveled with her for so long and then she’s gone. Their relationship is over forever. And he hid himself away.
And now finally he’s accepted someone into his life again and he just wants to jump into being as close as he was with Amy with Clara. I think that’s what may be interpreted as ‘feelings’ but really it’s just the Doctor wanting that relationship again.
Call me crazy,tell me i’m wrong, but that’s what I think of that.
Something about these new episodes is bugging me….
the build in them just feels so off.
In these episodes it’s been like major danger from beginning to start most of the time.
I used to really like those cute/slow moments in the beginning of the episodes. Like in this one I would have loved if it opened with the kids nagging Clara to try out the time machine and then them running on to the TARDIS and the Doctor getting that goofy smile as they yell “IT’S BIGGER ON THE INSIDE”
(or for him to get a ‘I have no idea how that just happened’ moment when they say “it’s smaller on the outside”)
and then for the doctor to start running around the console, watch his coat tails fly as he questions the kids about where they want to go, they give ‘I don’t know’ and other vague answers and then a lightbulb goes off in the doctors head, and he smirks, yells something about a brilliant idea and then slams that lever down and the intro comes in
I don’t know why… but without those few slow moments, the danger and reality of the big bads in the episode just don’t happen for me.
Please tell me if i’m crazy or not

I tried haha.
When I watched Journey to the Center of the TARDIS
I was really hoping that not just recent events from the past were leaking.
I knew it wasn’t going to happen, but I would have found it cool if when Clara looked down one of the passage ways she saw Amy and Rory bickering or something. Or like River consoling the Doctor or anything.
I don’t know why, but I really wanted this
Maybe losing the leaf shows us that chapter one is over, and the rest of the story can finally begin.
and i will always come and find you.
Can we take a moment to think about Claras sacrifice in this episode? She already gave away her moms ring, and now, she sacrifices one of the most important parts of her mothers memories, her life that could have been. And she does it all for the Doctor. The man who offered to take her to all the places she could see, but a man she barely knows. And to help save these creatures that she didn’t even knew existed 24 hours ago.
And maybe losing the leaf shows us that chapter one is over, and the rest of the story can finally begin.
“I came here with my granddaughter”
I want an explanation but I know I wont get one
doesn’t anyone else think that then what Clara asks what chapter he’s up to and he says ten
and then she’s like ten good, but elevens that best, you’ll cry your eyes out
she’s refering to the doctors? idk that’s how i heard it first for some reason

Always ready for a doctor who premiere
Watching the marathon now, A Town Called Mercy is on
