Mummy On The Orient Express

Clara’s and the Doctor’s last hurrah. They go onto the only train in space that was named Orient Express. However after being there for only a little while, they are faced with a possible problem. A mummy that only the victim can see. 

When I first started watching this episode, I really didn't believe that it would be the last time Clara would be on the show. Clara has been with the Doctor since Amy and Rory left by weeping angels with the Eleventh Doctor. It was hard to imagine she would just quit after experiencing many travels with both the Eleventh and the Twelfth Doctors as well as a regeneration.

Not many companions have gone through a regeneration with the Doctor. Rose Tyler and Clara Oswald are the only recent (9th Doctor to now) companions that have been there when the Doctor regenerated. Other companions have known the Doctor in more than one of his 'lives', but they were not actually there for the regeneration.

Also, most of the companions fell in love with the Doctor. Think about it, from the Ninth Doctor and on, the only companions that have not fallen in love with the Doctor are Donna Nobel, Clara Oswald, and of course the guys. However focusing on the girls, it's just Donna and Clara. Even with Clara, you could argue that she does like the Doctor, but loves Danny Pink (her current boyfriend) even more. This may sound like a rant, but it's so annoying that the companions of the Doctor usually fall in love with him, and they can't just be friends.

At the end of this episode, Clara Oswald talks to her boyfriend on the phone. After this phone call, she decides that she wants to keep traveling with the Doctor. This turns out not being their last hurrah, and they will continue to travel together. This traveling will also be a secret of Clara's, because Danny Pink thinks that Clara is done traveling.

Anyway, I liked this episode and how it showed that Clara doesn't want to give up on traveling just yet. It also showed that the Doctor will do everything in his power to save others, it just sometimes doesn't happen.

Kill The Moon

Another episode of Doctor Who from October 4th!

Killing The Moon.

How can a rock die? Weathering, erosion, explosions.

These are all possible solutions.

There are many possible causes that could happen if the world lost its moon. The ocean tides would become different and higher. Gravity would be affected. The pieces of the moon may crash to earth. Night would also be a lot darker without the moon reflecting the sun's rays.

When you first think of killing the moon, you think of blowing up a huge rock. Right? Wrong. Killing the moon in this new Doctor Who episode is killing a brand new species. The moon is an egg, just about to hatch, and the creature is about to go fly off in space.

This episode shows how humanity will do anything to survive. Humans would kill the only one of a species to keep on living. Even if there is a chance that nothing much would change, and the human race would survive.

What would you do if you were asked to make the choice of letting a new species live or keeping yourself alive? Would you save yourself or the creature?

In this episode, humanity chose to kill the creature, but Clara let it live by stopping the bombs from going off. However the Doctor didn't help with this decision at all. By doing so, he pushed Clara to the point where she doesn't want to travel with him anymore. Kinda predictable really.

I don't know what I would do in this insistence. Everyone in the world chose to kill the new, amazing creature, would I choose to blow it up as well? Or would I be brave enough to stand up for it?

I would like to imagine that I would be brave enough to help this new species. Help it live its life to its fullest. However I know that I’m not a very outgoing person, and I’m really shy. So I probably wouldn’t have the guts to save it.

Would you?

The Caretaker

Doctor Who Season Eight is still going on, and this time with The Caretaker. Sorry that this post took so long, I didn't watch the episode when it first came out, and haven't had much time since then either. This episode was aired on the 27th of September, and the Doctor decided to go undercover.

Clara had been going back and forth between saving the world in new places with the Doctor, and dates with Danny Pink, Clara's new boyfriend. The Doctor finds out that there is trouble at the school Clara works at, and also wants to find out who Clara is dating.

He goes undercover as the Caretaker for her school.

This episode shows that the Doctor cares for Clara very much, and he doesn't want just anybody to hang out with her. When the Doctor first meets Danny Pink, he doesn't like him, Danny Pink isn't good enough for Clara. However by the end of the season, the Doctor acknowledges that Danny Pink is off to a good start for being good enough for Clara.

I really liked this episode. It was interesting to see how the Doctor and Danny reacted when they met each other. This episode was funny how Danny was suspicious of the Doctor, or the Caretaker as he knew him as then, by finding his electronics and placing them into the gymnasium. I also liked how at the end of the episode, Danny wants to make sure that the Doctor doesn't push Clara to far. He told Clara that if she is pushed to far, she would tell him, and she would stop time traveling with the Doctor for her own sake.

This episode almost predicts that the Doctor will push Clara to the point where she doesn't want to travel with him anymore.
