Just watched the Christmas special. Seems Clara is being set up as some sort of a plot device, she and all of her versions throughout time are probably going to be important much in the same way the cracks were in season 6. The recurring "remember me" has to mean something, especially with Moffat.
Best part of the Christmas special, though, was Strax and the memory worm thingie.

I'm thinking she's someone(or something) that's been split across time and space, or that all of her incarnations are echoes/messages (like the cracks and the bad wolf thing) sent through time and space, with the payoff happening at the 50th anniversary.
I'm also wondering about the "friend" who brought back Strax. It was mentioned but no further details were provided, so it's probably foreshadowing for a future storyline (otherwise they could have easily explained it by saying that this Strax is from Vastra and Jenny's timeline before the battle of demons run happened).
BTW, I'm also miffed that Moffat seems to be high on the fairy tale things, where problems can be solved and enemies are defeated through love, or friendship, or sadness or hope, or because someone remembered. I would much rather things get solved because of the doctor's cunning or through some other sci-fi plot device.

My guess is that it was River who brought Strax back. Also agree about the fairy tale solutions, although for a Christmas special it works.
Could Clara be the Doctor & River's kid? It's been hinted that he had children.

I think Clara may be linked to the Great Intelligence. So, we might get a showdown in 1967 London Underground. I think Vastra was the one to bring Strax back using the same technology they tried on Clara.
I have to say that I love the new TARDIS and opening credits. I would still prefer a more 'alien' theme along the lines of the original up until they changed it to the 80's synth version.

Naked Doctor Who star Karen Gillan and a riotous New York partyIt's the kind of awkward situation where she could have done with a Tardis to take her away.
Doctor Who star Karen Gillan was found naked in a New York hotel corridor after a night of riotous partying.
Miss Gillan, 23, who plays the Time Lord’s assistant Amy Pond, was seen ‘whimpering’ in the nude by guests at 7am before security arrived, wrapped her in a sheet and escorted her to her room.
Her appearance prompted guests to nickname her ‘Lady Godiva’.
She and co-stars including Matt Smith, who plays the Doctor, had been put up at The Ace, one of Manhattan’s trendiest hotels, during a promotional trip.
After fulfilling their duties, the cast and crew enjoyed ‘one long party’, according to fellow guests. One permanent male guest told the Daily Mail he heard someone trying to open his door at 7am.
The resident, who later identified the stranger as Miss Gillan, said: ‘I went to the peephole and looked out. I saw a man at the lift who was looking back at someone who was attempting to open my door… the next thing I saw was a woman giving this person at my door two towels before getting into the lift and leaving.
‘Then I saw this young woman, completely naked, trying to wrap two towels around her and not having much luck.
‘She then started to whimper and knock on my door. Seeing that she wasn’t getting anywhere, she lay down with the towels covering her.’
Security then arrived, noticed her room key and wrapped her up and took her back to her suite. The resident added: ‘I never saw Lady Godiva again.’
Suzanne Leonara, another resident, said: ‘This girl looked as though she hadn’t been to bed. Everyone who saw her thought she was completely zonked out.’
Whatever happened in New York failed to dull Miss Gillan’s appetite for a party. Last week she was pictured at notorious London nightclub The Box.
The U.S. trip, organised by BBC Worldwide, the Corporation’s commercial arm, took place in April.
Last night a BBC Worldwide spokesman said: ‘We’re unaware of this alleged incident.’ Miss Gillan’s spokesman declined to comment. "naked and whimpering," seems more like the aftermath of a frat party date rape than a really awesome party. Is it possible to party so hard that your clothes disappear in a blinding flash of light? Also, nobody bothered to check if the carpet matches the curtains on the nakkid redhead.

Apparently, the Strax thing is addressed in the episode but it was cut out and the private screeners are bound by confidentiality contracts. Still, they attest to the matter being addressed.

Doctor Revisited started sunday night as part of the countdown to the 50th in November. Pretty decent summary of Hartnell, although not as indepth as I would've liked. The episode the ran "The Aztecs" was good but pretty long. It's interesting to see older tv shows as they're frequently more like watching stage plays.

I feel that Ecclestons portrayal of The Doctor mirrored Hartnels. I could be wrong since the only original DW I saw was the Aztec episodes, but both had an alien air of superiority in their roles.

Same could be said for Pertwee and Colin Baker's Doctors.

Tom was also tempered a good bit with an obvious affection for humans.

I kinda wonder if Moffat is going to have the Doctor answer to Brian about Rory and Amelia being stranded in time? He did say nothing bad would happen to them and shit did not go according to plan.

If I were him, I'd ask River to do the explaining. Maybe River can also bring Brian to where the Ponds are, since she's not bound by the same rules that prevent the TARDIS from visiting the ponds (that one, I don't get. I get that the doctor can't visit the time they were stuck in as it could lead to yadda yadda time explodey thing, but what makes River and her timetravel wrist thingie different?)

Alex Kingston update. She just debuted as Dinah on Arrow. Wasn't sure if we covered that she had signed on last month. So, there ya go. Arrow now has Captain Jack and River Song.

If you're watching the relaunch stuff, any Moffat episode. The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances two parter in the first series. The Girl in the Fireplace in the second. Blink in the third. Silence in the Library/Forrest of the Dead two parter in the fourth. School Reunion in the second is good too (as well as the lead in episode for The Girl in the Fireplace). Human Nature/Family of Blood two parter in the third is real good as well.

Father's day is also good (I don't remember the exact title, the one where they visited Rose's father).
Also, the one with Ursula, Elton, and the shape changing alien. And the one with the captured Dalek. Just good stand alone stories that still provide hints to the larger picture, so that when you're ready for the bigger stuff, you can start watching the non-standalone eps (the ones that rely heavily on familarity with the time war, the doctor's past, his relationship with rose, etc) like the ones with Donna.

So was I the only one that was less than impressed with the start of the second half of the season? It was ok but I'm used to a bit more than that with Who.

Breaking the seasons up has really hurt the pacing. Here's hoping that it picks up and that there is a kick-ass anniversary special.

I'm sure there's lots more good stuff coming. This episode is just one of a very few number that just didn't click for me. The mystery of Clara ought to be interesting. Anybody have any early guesses? I'm going to guess she's related to the Doctor somehow. Not a good guess but the whole reincarnation thing reminds me of timelords regenerating. Her being a nanny is obviously some type of clue or foreshadowing but what does it mean?
Fair play!

I have no clue as to who Clara is. However, this episode provided us with plenty of clues (or red herrings) as to who she is. Guess it wouldn't hurt to compile them.
-Hopes to travel like the Clara from Asylum of the Daleks
-A nanny like Clara in The Snowmen
-Was able to hack into the internet after being uploaded to the cloud much like she was able to hack into the Dalek web after being converted.
-Favorite chapter of Amy's book, Summer Falls, is eleven. It makes her cry happy tears. (They are releasing an ebook of this on Thursday, I think.)
-Skipped the ages 16 and 23 in her book, 101 Places to See.
-The leaf in the book--101 Places to See--is "page one" of her life or something like that.
Anything else? Most insane theory I have so far is that she grows old and becomes Madame Kovarian, but I base that solely on the nanny stuff with no real reasoning behind it.

And, I guess there is the mystery of the "woman at the shop" who gave her the number to the TARDIS.

He's good at giving you all these 'clues' to get fan curiosity going. I'm thinking that she's linked to the 'consciousness' like the snowmen and the cloud.
