Clara's dead. Meh. Know why I don't care? Say it with me if you've heard this before; She had the perfect ending last Christmas. It tied into the Christmas before, it was touching, it was absolutely perfect in every single way from emotion to storytelling. And she decided lol nope coming back. Now she died and all I did was say "Well, that happened".

Well, now that that's over. Bring on Osgood!

Nah, Osgood's staying on Earth for good now. Bring on the newest companion, Steve Buscemi!

Meh is all I can say about it. Rose's departure was heartbreaking, Martha's was kinda sad I guess, Donna's was sad, Amy and Rory's was extremely sad (especially Amy's), but Clara's is bland and plain. She died because she tried to be Clara Who. Couldn't even feel emotional about it

I agree with every word you've typed.

Except this.

I think Osgood works best in small doses, like the Paternoster Gang.

The more I think about it, the more Clara's death reminds me of Adric's. Both deaths were easily preventable, both were brought around by the character trying to be too clever, and ultimately nothing was accomplished by either sacrifice.

Completed Series 2 and Series 3. I liked Series 2 about as much as the first one. There where some okay episodes but also some really great ones like the finale and the Cybermen two-parter. Tennant is fun as the Doctor but I dont like him as much as Eccleston. Series 3 was a big letdown for me. Except for 42, Blink and the episodes involving the Master I found this series to be rather bland and forgettable. It just didnt manage to keep my attention for most of the episodes. I was also really dissappointed by Martha as the new companion. Rose had her flaws but I still enjoyed her a lot more. Martha was just kinda bland and boring for the most part.

Aw, I like Martha she isn't the best companion, but even now she lives in Rose' shadow and she develops so much better in the long run. You'll see

I REALLY hate the Cyberman 2-parter though. For newcomers to the show it comes across as such a good story (and I usually LOVE parallel world stuff), but its such a massive crap over the classic Cybermen. They take away everything interesting about their origin and turn it into a watered down version of the Daleks'.

Its cool if she develops better in the future. She is a great character on paper and should be really competent as a companion but I never felt she really got their until the last two episodes of the series.

Fair enough. I can see it not working for someone who is much more familiar with the Franchsie. I just really enjoyed the way they presented the Cybermen in those episode and the whole atmosphere of those episodes. I kid you not I was tucked in my blanket and scared shitless once they really started getting involved

You should really check out some of the 60s Cybermen stuff if you ever get a chance. They were really creepy back then

Yeah, Martha's defining characteristic is wasted potential.

I strongly recommend Tomb of the Cybermen and Invasion. Both are absolute classics.

Can I just say how much I hated that Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks two parter? Like, I really really REALLY hate it.
