Anyway RE why she couldn't remove the tattoo, the guy told Clara the only way to have it removed was to get it taken off or to pass it on, there was something else about a clause but I didn't understand that lol.

I'm still holding out hope for Clara though, as she didn't run away from the raven and the man previously said 'why do they always run'

Next weeks episode had the synopsis about how

I know a lot of people didn't like her, but I thought Clara was a great companion. Much better than Amy.

Clara wasn't that interesting in Season 7 but she truly became great when she was paired up with Capaldi.

I really didn't think they were gonna kill her off. :shocked:

Brilliant episode and an effectively emotional send-off for Clara imo. I just hope they don't undo it in the final two episodes (I love Clara but reversing the impact of this exit would just be a cop-out so I hope they let it stick).

Definately, Clara showed promise in S7b, but most of her screentime was more about the mystery of who she was, rather than actually being about her as a character.

The Synopsis for the Christmas episode has also been released along with that image above^

here's the synopsis:

Heaven Sent: Advanced Reviews
 

So the pre-air reviews of this episode have pretty much all been really positive. Looks to be a great episode although some are saying that it could be divisive, as some might not 'get' it. I'll post a couple here if anyone's interested.

Can't wait for Saturday's episode!

It would have been better if the BBC didn't reveal so much in the synopsis. I feel like it's been ruined for me before watching. I am looking forward to it though.

Yeah presumably the cliffhanger for Heaven Sent is going to be the . Really don't know why they detailed it in the synopsis unless are just one of many more surprisingnthingnmthat are going to happen.

Some fairly big spoilers were going around on Twitter earlier today, so I would advise everyone to be cautious when looking at anything other than the official accounts and trusted sites if you don't want the finale ruined...

That was good but a bit too long

Next week's looks incredible though

Give Peter Capaldi all the awards!

That was possibly up there with my favourite episodes...

That CG looks movie quality...

Okay so I've just watched last weeks someone hold me

that was absolutely amazing.

do they re-gen Clara in the finale?

Isn't there 'a' Clara on Gallifrey? One of her echoes?

It was a great episode although I think it had pacing issues which dampened it a bit for me.

Christmas Special Promo Pics!

:laugh2:

My favourite has to be the "CAROL SINGERS WILL BE CRITICISED" sign on the Tardis- this looks much more lighthearted and fun than most of the recent Christmas specials (which is a good thing, IMO).

I can't believe it's finale night already. I'm both extremely excited and distraught.

This series has been one of my favourites and Capaldi has cemented himself as my favourite Doctor this year. :love:

I love every Moffett Christmas Special

I loved the ending, when they first brought Clara back, I thought it was a bad move, but by the end, I thought it was fantastic, the idea of Clara getting to travel by herself before eventually facing the raven.

I really enjoyed this episode and for me it tied up more loose ends than most Moffat finales (we finally found out why Missy chose Clara). I loved when the Doctor played Clara's theme on the guitar, and every scene on Gallifrey was excellent. Hopefully they revisit 'The Woman' (in the barn) at some point in the future, and I'm certain that we'll be seeing more of Gallifrey in the coming years. Still not entirely comfortable with the idea of the Doctor forgetting Clara, although it does make sense that he could not even bear to remember her, and the fact that Clara and Me are roaming around the Universe in a Tardis cheapens her exit somewhat for me. Still, glad they didn't completely reverse it and she'll still have to face the raven someday.

Overall, an enjoyable and satisfying end to what has been my favourite series since 2010.

Loved the episode.

Also, it was never actually revealed what the Hybrid is, we just heard theories, I expect it to come to fruition at the end of Capaldi's run. I wouldnt be surprised if 10's first episode is set on Gallifrey.

I ended up accidentally spoiling Clara's survival for myself before I watched it and I expected to hate that since it might undermine the impact of her exit, but I actually respect the way they did it. I like that her facing the raven hasn't been undone, just put on hold for a while, and the Doctor forgetting Clara was a nice unexpected twist when the companion being forced to forget the Doctor would be the typical expectation.

I also liked Donald Sumpter turning out to be Rassilon, just a shame he was so underused. I hope he returns (still played by Sumpter) in the near future.

Lov flying in an American Diner me!

Sensational.

I heard that Peter Capaldi does play the guitar, (correct me if that is not correct), so I did wonder if that actually was him playing that bit of "The Impossible Girl"

Updating the thread ready for S10 and the discussions to come!

The Christmas special looks fun this year rather than depressing as it has been for the last few years! Greg Davies looks hilarious.

:flutter: if that's true. I know he used to be in a band so it very well could be!

Honestly one of the best :flutter:
