DW: S08x09 – Flatline

Hi Guys,

let’s talk about the new episode of Doctor Who. I kinda like this episode. We see Clara taking the role of the Doctor and again i have to say the ‘monster’ or the idea behind them is not really good or interessting. But everything else is really good.

I am the Doctor. You can call me Clara.

The TARDIS were minimized and the Doctor is traped in it. So Clara has to do the Job of the Doctor. After she critize the Doctor in the last episodes, is she now in his position. She is investigating the missing people. With a little help from the Doctor she is a pretty good job. She understands how difficult it is to be on this side. There is the group of people she has to get there out alive. She lies alot in this episode, to the group, to her boyfriend. She doesn’t mourn the people that died, she just keep going. I thing the Doctor is a bit harsh. Because she did a good job. She did everything to save the guy from his sacrifice mission and also saved the Doctor. People died but this where death, she couldn’t make much about it. But of course she wasn’t Clara, she was the Doctor.

Looking into a mirror

The Doctor is really harsh to her in the end. I think it is because it was like looking into a mirror. He saw himself in Clara, he saw what he make out of her. That changes, the lying and everything that is what he is making her. All the adventures, all this stuff they are going through, its changing people. It did from the first time. Nobody step into the TARDIS and left the same. Are this good changes? Maybe you can’t say if it are good changes or not. It depends on the way you look at it. But we know how the Doctor looked at it – who the tenth doctor and the eleventh doctor looked at it. What did the twelfth doctor see when he look in that episode at Clara? He sees himself. He sees someone whom he doesn’t know if he is a good person or not. He looked at someone how did everything to save him, like hedid for Clara… he looked at someone that take the risk. He doesn’t think that he did good stuff. Maybe he saved the world, but people died. The wrong people died. They did what they had to do, but they didn’t do any good, they just do what was nessassary.

I think he is afraid of what person he make Clara. He doesn’t want her to change. Because of that conflict this is one of the stronger episodes.

We will read us at the next episode of Doctor Who.
