DW: S08EP08 – Mummy on the Orient train

Sooo,
my internet was just making my life very complicated, okay complicated is not the right word but it takes me ages until i excatually could see this Doctor Who episode. But here it is and lets have fun with it.

The last goodbye

My first thought when i saw the Doctor and Clara on that train, was okay he just thinks she is there (yes watching to much AOS) and the second tought was okay, he gets into the past and take Clara at a time before they fought. Than i thought about robots and everything else but this? Really? A last goodbye trip? Which idea was that? This is a totally stupid thing to do. For both sides. This episode make most of the good stuff of the last episode just vanish. Clara was hurt and dispointed and than she just go on a last trip with him? Telling him that she don’t hate him and snuggle with him. This is nothing i find good.

Are you my mummy

The story is not getting me. I am a big fan of ‘The Mummy’ but this was, something… i don’t know. It doesn’t make sense to me and that is strange after seeing an episode where the moon is an egg with big spiders (DW: S08x07)… but why is the mummy goes after the ill first? Because the are the weakest? That doesn’t make sense, even less when she is a soldier. Because go for the boss, ever. Then there is someone send a train with doctors and Professor on a journay thorugh the universe. With fake passengiers and fake train? Why? We never learned who did it, why he did it. Because really? The Doctor didn’t do something special. He just tried to find the final word to end it. Everyone else could has done that.

The Doctor is the Doctor

So we see a Doctor on that journay that didn’t try do save everyone. We saw someone that just didn’t care enough. Of course he cares but not like others did. He is actually – like Danny said – an officer. The other were just his soldiers, there just to be cannon fodder. He is the worst. Don’t get me wrong i love the Doctor like that. I love all the othersides he had over the years, but this is a side he didn’t show often. Most of the times he just wants to save everyone. But this on didn’t just know that he can’t, he didn’t even try to let them in, because will use them to save himself and Clara. Nothing more nothing less. So he needs Clara so he keeps on saving people.

That is the End

This end scene in the TARDIS is the best in the episode. Claras question are important. She beganns to see and understand that Doctor. Than she just decided to end her relationship to Danny. I know she didn’t but for me, is this the end. Danny wanted her to not to lie to him again. But this is what she decides to do. She decides to travel with the Doctor again and she didn’t told Danny. She lied to both of them and that is disapointing.

We will see how this will turn out.
