Tonight was the premiere of season 7 part 2 of Doctor Who and oh my did they deliver as usual! This episode of course brought about the question that we've been asking since we first met Clara Oswin Oswald. Who is she? There are so many questions about Clara and just as many guesses about who she is. (Of course, at least this time Moffatt let her live.) But aside from us trying to figure out who Clara is let's get on the subject of the actual episode shall we?
This episode was about something that most of us deal with in every day life. Wi-fi. Think about it. How many of you use wi-fi in your daily activities? We have wi-fi on our laptops, tablets, cellphones, etc. Wi-fi is everywhere! And if something were to get into the wi-fi then we would all be up the creek without a paddle. As for the Great Intelligence, I'm sure you remember him from the Christmas special The Snowmen. Does anyone else think there's a connection with Clara here somewhere? The Great Intelligence has also had appearances in the Second Doctor's run as well in the episodes The Abominable Snowmen and The Web of Fear (approximately a century after The Snowmen episode took place). All of the questions we were left with from this episode probably will not even be answered this season.
Now, I'm trying not to be a spoil-hound here, but sometimes you just can't help it with Who. Can we just talk about the author of the book the boy Clara nannies for was reading (and the girl on the stairs was from)? AMELIA WILLIAMS. Oh yes. Yes we all know that name well. It may not have registered to everyone at first glance just because she is using her married name, but it was one Amelia Pond. This made me extremely giddy! Just seeing that Amy went on to be a successful writer after all the things she and Rory went through makes me happy to no extent.
So, to end my somewhat confusing review of this episode of Doctor Who, I give this episode an 8.5/10. It was a great episode, but not one of my favorites. This is just the beginning of the adventures with Clara (because we all know she is going to say yes to travelling with the Doctor), and I do look forward to more of her witty banter with the Doctor and believe this will make for a great second part of the season.
