From “run you clever boy and remember me,” to “run you clever boy and be a doctor.” Every time I watch this episode I have mixed feelings but ultimately I love what they did with Clara’s character and her relationship with the doctor. Even when she had a normal life to go back to, she always lived for the promise of adventure. The only person who kept her grounded to reality was probably Danny, who always reminded her the consequences of her travels with the doctor and reminded her of her mortality. Without anyone else in her life but the doctor, she kept running towards the risks. But because she can be so clever and she’s good at winning- she and the doctor start to forget how human she really is until she makes a dumb mistake in Face the Raven to take the tattoo. I think that’s why the doctor says in that episode “Clara, there’s nothing special about me. I am nothing, but I’m less breakable than you, I should have taken care of you.” To which Clara tells him “I never asked you too”- echoing what she says in the finale “why? Nobody is ever safe- I’ve never asked you for that ever. These have been the best years of my life, and they are mine. Tomorrows promised to no one doctor, but I insist upon my past.” Basically she is saying her memories, of her best days and travels with the doctor, is all she has now that she has no one else and is basically going to her death again soon. “Saftey” is irrelevant to her anyway, and she knows that well given how many times she’s deliberately died for the doctor. She’d rather risk all of time and space than give up the memories of what she lived for, just as the doctor would risk all and time and space to bring her back alive. I love their scenes together in this episode and you see how much they love each other in each of them. And her letting go of the doctor, letting him forget her despite how much they’ve been through and despite her previous pleas to be remembered in death, allows him to let her go without having chaos or revenge to overtake him. In the cloisters, when Clara asks why he would wait billions of years to save her when she was already dead, he tells her he has “a duty of care,” which is what Clara used to say to him in earlier seasons. He never used to say this until after Clara started saying it to him and I think it’s both a way of the Doctor saying he loves her without saying it, and a way to show how he changed because of her, into the man she wanted him to be, and that’s also why she has to let him go.

Anyway, not sure if it’s Jenna Coleman or Clara that I’m obsessed with but it literally hurts me, makes my chest physically ache, to watch her play this character no matter how many times I rewatch it. And the idea of her being gone from the show after she literally became the heart of it for me was difficult, I never got over it enough to watch season 10

I'm really glad you guys liked this episode. It's always been pretty hated within the fandom which I've never really gotten 'cause I personally think it's one of my absolute favourite series finales and companion goodbyes. Coleman and Capaldi both give such great performances and I'm just a sucker for anything set on Gallifrey. I genuinely don't get the incredible level of hatred for the hybrid thing 'cause I don't think it's that bad of an idea. Now, I don't know whether I just like my personal interpretation of it (which I'm not gonna get into 'cause I don't wanna write a novel in here) or whether I've actually gotten what Moffat meant to do with it and liked that. I don't really care which it is to be honest. Nonetheless this era will always hold a special place in my heart and Clara will forever be my favourite companion. (Okay, okay, I'm allowing there to be change to this if someone really steals my heart on the same level as she has but we shall see.)
