– The Hybrid- what is it? What’s so important you would fight so long? – Doesn’t matter what the hybrid is. It only matters that I convinced them that I knew. Otherwise they would keep me out with nothing left to bargain with. -What are you bargaining for? -What do you think? You. I’d have to find the way to save you.
Scene that made you the most emotional. Seeing Twelve clearly in absolute agony over losing someone he dearly loved is devastating. The speaking to her, the eyes filling with tears, the clutching the stomach to try and hold himself together, the crumpling to the ground when that didn’t work… Such very real signs of grief and it was so relatable and therefore had me sobbing along with him.
I’ve made a little compilation of all the notable Whouffle and Whouffaldi moments over the seasons, along with my thoughts and theories:
Their relationship was set up as romance right from the very beginning with these words, because it becomes obvious right away that Clara might be romantically interested in the Doctor by hinting at future snogging. I don’t believe that she immediately jumped him, but she let him know from the beginning that she wasn’t uninterested.
Let’s jump to “The Crimson Horror” where Eleven and Clara pose as husband and wife and they both convinced Mrs Gilliflower, a woman who is anything but stupid. In fact, they both seem to enjoy it, too.
I always like to believe that the end of “Nightmare in Silver” is the moment Eleven realizes that he fancies Clara because he notices her on a physical level. Besides, the conversation Mr Clever had with Clara in which “the Doctor” confesses his love to Clara is probably based on the Doctor’s own thoughts to which Mr Clever had access at that moment, but Clara saw through it and knew that the Doctor would never admit it.
When Clara suggests that she needs a boyfriend for Christmas dinner Eleven was excited. He actually believed that she was serious for a moment and he was more than happy to be her boyfriend, yet at the same time he was a bit worried that he might disappoint Clara. It was Eleven who was disappointed when he realized that Clara wasn’t actually serious.
Unfortunately they never really got to explore that part of their relationship because he got stranded on Trenzalore and later regenerated.
Matt Smith has confirmed that Clara was sort of his girlfriend while Jenna said in an interview or during a panel that Clara realized she was in love with him during the regeneration.
I think this might be why, of all the new series’ companions, I don’t like Martha Jones.
Rose, Donna and Amy didn’t want to leave ‘My Doctor’, ‘Raggedy Man’ or ‘Spaceboy’, but they didn’t have a choice.
Martha Jones just walked away.
Martha’s family had just gone through a year of hell. A year of being TORTURED, a year where they were threatened with DEATH every day, a year where they saw horrors unimaginable. They needed her.
Martha herself just went through a year of hell. A year where she was hunted every day. A year where there was a special forces unit tasked with doing nothing but tracking her down. A year where she saw an entire country burn in front of her eyes. A year where she witnessed more death and destruction than any one person should ever have to. A year where she saved the universe not with magic TARDIS/Metacrisis/Universe crack powers but with her own brains, cunning, determination and willpower. She needed her family.
She had also just spent a year in love with a man who didn’t love her back. A man who was often dismissive of her thoughts and feelings. A man who she had to watch fall in love with another woman and accuse her of being his executioner after two months of going from being a doctor to a maid in an era when she was thought of as less than a person because of the color of her skin. Then three more month of working in a shop to support him. Her thanks for those things was “thank you” and a hug. She went through a year where she TIME AND AGAIN proved herself, delivered the impossible and yet was judged unworthy just because she wasn’t someone she’d never met. And THEN the year of literal hell.
Put yourself in her shoes for just a minute.
She made absolutely the right decision, for her own mental and emotional well being, and for her family’s. She still cared for him, she gave him a lifeline back to her, but she couldn’t survive in that environment anymore, having her self esteem torn down every day after she had proved over and over just how amazing she was.
