It makes me think that I really ought to have seen Danny's ending coming much sooner than I did…they both even end up inside giant computers. Oh man, they do! And didn't we say from very early on in the Nethersphere thing that it seemed like it should be a continuation of the Library/Great Intelligence computer thing?
Mmmmmmmm. Wonderful. So where do you think it will go next? Back to the beginning I guess. Circle of life...no hang on that's The Lion King…but the point still stands! :-) Which leads to... I almost feel like we need to reverse the polarity? I mean like flipping a filter. Because it's not like Missy co-opted some of the symbols or something; she co-opted allllllll of them: there's evil water and evil clouds and an evil world axis and evil eggs and evil flowers. We were going along and you could see the pattern/cycle forming, and at the moment when it should have all come together, a switch was flipped and you could see the whole thing in negative. So the original is still there, does that make sense?
LOTS of people are theorising that Clara is pregnant…which, on the one hand I would be a little concerned about because it would give the Moffat-haters more fuel for their stupid fire ("All his women end up pregnant / he thinks all women want is to have babies" blah blah blah) but also it WOULD fit much more organically within Clara's storyline than it ever did in Amy's I almost feel like it makes it more likely *headdesk* Moffat has a talent for doing what he shouldn't. But, ok, how do you explain Orson Pink? 1) He's not actually related to Clara, it's just that Clara is so inter-connected that she was able to get there (Unlikely, I'd say. I wouldn't bet against people being related.) 2) Clara is pregnant now . . . I feel like all the good, rational objections I have for why this shouldn't be done I can't defend on the basis of what happened in season six. 3) Danny is coming back somehow. I think this is my top guess? On the one hand it feels like maybe this should be a story about Clara having to accept things she can't change and about the inevitability of death. But on the other hand, you've got a solid basis for a story there about Danny descending into the underworld and having to face his demons (in the form of the kid he killed), and thus earning his return. I think maybe you can have both stories? Because we've firmly established that *Clara* could not do anything to bring Danny back. And if Danny comes back having saved the kid, then you've got a basis for actual character development for him. Moreover, I have no idea how Missy expected her plan to work if she didn't have a hand in Danny's death. If it wasn't just a random car accident, then they can totally bring him back.
