It totally makes sense. At the same time, a good analysis manages to detach itself from the material and carry its own beauties. It needs to be organised and thought and you do it perfectly. I think you explain better than Moffat even what he does.
*preens* Although it's often easier to analyse something from the outside.

Oh, I don't particularly enjoy his interpretation as a fic-writer. To me, the echoes, work exactly as photocopies i.e. they are photographs of Clara at a moment.
I absolutely love how you see this, it makes so much sense! And there is nothing to stop that being the 'official' interpretation - there is next to no discussion about what she remembers, which is v. useful.

Oh, completely. I discussed Clara and River in relation to the Doctor here.
Thank you for that link! Yes, I agree very much, I think. I've called Clara River's apprentice or protege before, and I think that fits. River guides her in Name of the Doctor, and uses Clara as her mouthpiece. (Clara's knowledge - if we count all the copies - is wide. River's is deep, the Doctor wired into her very DNA.)
