I can't believe I didn't make that connection until you pointed it out! My favourite thing about fandom is how collaborative it can be :-) *I* can't believe I didn't realise Danny would end up inside a giant computer as soon as I started noticing the parallels…
Restoration, surely. Of some description or other. Santa himself said that the story had gone wrong. And this is where I reeeeeeeally want Clara to end up on Gallifrey, as per my original desire from way back when. If Danny doesn't come back, obviously. The restoration of Gallifrey, and of, er, appropriate use of power of Gallifrey (that's perhaps less a restructuring and more a total overhaul of the political system, but whatever) and Clara to be there to see it.
I have another Clara theory that I will post today, so… ARGH SO EXCITED. AND INTRIGUED. I'll be out this evening, but will inevitably come to ooh and aaah and flail tomorrow. I'm less convinced than I was that she's pregnant…I guess Orson could always be descended from a relative of Danny's…or that timeline could just have gone. That happens all the time in DW.
I got *thisclose* to bringing up 'Forever', which is v. similar in nature Oooh! Yes I have! You're absolutely right. And, of course, it's also a bit like the beginning of 'Villains' in S6. Actually I've been thinking that Clara reminds me a lot of Willow in some ways, and even a little of Chuck from Pushing Daisies. I clearly have a *thing* for seemingly sweet, adorable, petite women whose bubbly personality masks a bossy control freak, with a desperate need to bring their loved ones back from the dead at any cost. Huh.
He's come far. I'm so proud. I think your comment about his searching for words is important - it's not that he *actually* cares more now than he did at the start (I think), it's that he's discovered how to express it better.
