'But here I'm loved' puts me in a mind that elsewhere she wasn't. Not that she surmised she wouldn't be. Or that she SAW she wouldn't be. She knew for a fact that she wasn't because she had experienced that.
Actually, Clara has claimed to be him twice during Twelve's Era at least. Flippantly, the first time. But I notice he didn't correct her. Being in his Time-stream, she does somewhat qualify AS the Doctor. And she has definitely mirrored him and seen through his eyes. She has always been his ghost. But it was only after she made that observation that she fully became one, even as she never fully disappeared.
I love the crazy/inexplicable of this show. a lot of people don't, but I feel if it doesn't do that, it is taking itself too seriously and it changes the way the show FEELS. The hardcore science, mixed psuedo, mixed with the out-right SILLY gives this show the loving, sweet feel it SHOULD. Children get that. Most adults don't. None of us would love DW if it didn't have that silliness. The Doctor acknlowedging it makes it more of a joke shared between him and the audience. Not as him poking fun at the audience - which is a whole different thing. I love it myself...
I like that idea - the Doctor as Odin. It does fit in so many ways. And really, he has a yo-yo. So he wins. *Sniffs*
Ohh, yes!! That moment with half of the sonic-sunglasses gave me the shivers...and you just gave me another!! Thank you for that!! And yes...'A Good Man Goes to War' has ALL OF THESE DESCRIPTORS. Even as we know that the Good Man was Rory and the Doctor was the distraction. IMHO, anyway *chuckles*
I love that he knows WHY he has that face. And yet, my claims to Pond-hood still hold up 'I was emotional and it is possible I made a mistake.'
Amy: You get emotional and that's when you make mistakes. Edris: Ah, that's what the Orangey Girl said. Stop it. You're being emotional.
All of it tying together. He is the same man, even as he changes and grows and learns. There were a lot of people bitching about his 'angsty' moment. I LOVED that. Twelve is one long denial of that moment. His whole regeneration, his reactions and responses are denial of that angsty moment. The moment he questions and gives up and then rallies again. I'm glad he had that. I loved him before, but I love him even more now. That fierce fire he always denies, but he is comprised of. He needs to face it, face himself and know he can make mistakes, but he still TRIES. Because he is the Doctor.
As for the hybrid...this isn't the first he's hand a hand in. But it is the first he has had a direct hand in. Food for thought, that...
*HUGS*
Thank you for another wonderful meta...thank you, thank you, thank you!!
