All the meta! All the parallels! All the Master feels! ♥♥♥ ALL THE THINGS.
OMFG, so many mirrors. RIVER/DANNY MIRROR, YES! I had that feeling when we saw Danny really take shape that they would get along ever so well because they really had things in common, but the end of the season really takes that above and beyond. Once you begin to line them up, it's kinda crazy...
3D Clara, I couldn't help picturing the paintings from Gallifrey… given your theories, that is ever so fitting. Ooooh. I hadn't even thought of that. Damn, that's excellent.
And the Clara/Missy mirror, yes! All the good points—the Doctor's two friends, mutually exclusive. Claiming and being claimed, push and pull. I love that. And how the whole dynamic has shifted. :)
But Missy's just turns it all around, being the opposite side of the coin, the death to the life. I love the fact that she embodies Clara's refusal to let Danny go, but through that, shows her what is, in a way, deeply wrong about such a refusal, human though it is. And that this is where she gets it wrong—that the temptation she embodies cannot touch the Doctor, but touches Clara, who was supposed to be only a means to an end in her game… Oh, this is clever. It is, isn't it? The more you look, the more you see.
oh ABSOLUTELY, he wanted to keep him in the TARDIS for god's sake! There are times when people need more of a reality check, surely, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. Ten. And the Jesus parallel has never been more SPOT-ON. We have an elaborate reasoning behind the dramatic posture! I could link you to my Last of the Time Lords meta? Although it's even longer than this... (It was my first proper Doctor Who meta, and I was so THRILLED that it COULD be meta. Little did I know...)
Parallels to Town Called Mercy: I'll be flailing in the corner at the cleverness of everything. That episode. I can't even. It has everything.
And Clara gets to make the choice… She is the Doctor.
Ohhhh, I was wondering/thinking about that a lot and it was just perfect seeing your take on it. The End of Time parallel, of course! And they've both been changing their game, but not in the same direction—oh star-crossed lovers XD It's such a switch, but in the light of the past makes perfect sense. Except she's too late...
And omfg, that new change of the game is making me even more excited for future Missy appearances now… ♥♥♥ BRING ON S9!
Thank you for this! Spot-on, clever and very well argued, as always. You just see. It's a delight. :) Well, I with other people's help! And thank you. ♥
