You've definitely seen the Great Intelligence before as well -- he/it was in the previous episode 'The Snowmen'. That's why the guy's (Richard E Grant's character) business cards said 'G.I.'. in that story and I think they even say 'Great Intelligence' by name at the end, when the Doctor and Vastra are at Clara's grave and the Doctor says something like 'That name sounds familiar...'. But yeah, the Doctor's first encounter with the Great Intelligence was as the Second Doctor and then he/it popped up a few more times in the classic era after that. Funnily enough, if you ever watch 'Downtime' -- which is an independent Doctor Who spin-off from 1995 (you can find it on Dailymotion or Youtube, I think?) -- it's also got the Great Intelligence and has a lot in common with this story, mostly in that people are basically being possessed via their computers (though obviously not through WiFi, as that was long before that existed).

Aye this came on my birthday :)

Had time to process them leaving? That's an understatement. Karen Gillan announced she was leaving in late 2011, in March 2012 they announced Jenna Coleman would be replacing her at the Christmas special, and the first episode of series 7 didn't actually air until September. "Bells of Saint John" didn't air until March 2013, giving us nearly 6 months between the Ponds disappearing and modern Clara entering the TARDIS, a full year after we found out about Coleman, and more than a year since it was confirmed that Gillan was leaving.

I feel like the unsureness with Clara is possibly partly due to the fact that you just saw Amy and Rory leave - whereas we had time to process their leaving. It's not uncommon for The Doctor to find someone an episode or two after losing a companion - it happened with Martha and Donna and Astrid (Voyage of the Damned) and the lady in the bus episode with Tennant. he's almost always unsure but warms to people he sees a lot of potential in very quickly - it's just how he is (also there is no end to his sadboy - like Vincent he has ups and downs all the time, often refusing to connect with people). From a writing perspective I can understand not wanting to have the Doctor alone and unwilling to love for too long because it can become depressing very quickly - so they nod to how he's been coping mostly off screen so the family watching can jump right back into some adventures without being weighed down with baggage for too long. I also agree with most people that The Doctor didn't seem to be flirting back per-se, moreso he was astonished by her and it reignited the heroic, needing to be adored, detective flame in him. He also kissed Strax on the head this episode. It's not always a romance thing with the 11th Doctor, he's just very physical in his affections. Also we haven't had The Doctor being romantic with a companion since Rose (not counting River), so you guys acting like we need a break from it is a little odd to me. If you mean moments of the companions trying to throw themselves on The Doctor then yeah I get it, that rubs me the wrong way a little too, but it's not so frequent that it'll immediately turn me off a companion if it's done well. In this case Clara is obviously a very flirtatious person by nature as we've seen both times, and The Doctor is fairly socially inept when it comes to people being romantic toward him, so none of it feels cheap or rehashed to me personally.

this was my favorite series 7 episode. I love seeing the doctor be an out of context problem, for people way below his weight class

tal goren

Totally agree with you, Alisa.

Opti_Frog

One of my favorites

Amanda Logsdon

His "obsession" with Clara never struck me as romantic or annoying, and I desperately missed the Ponds. I took it as she's something odd he doesn't understand and he hates not knowing something. Also he cares for humans in general but one that's an oddity, fragile (being uploaded 2x), and who helped him shake out of his depression? Jackpot! Clara's a fun companion but I do prefer her more later on, no spoilers!

Alisa Loudner

Sure, ladies, tease us Trekkies with the fact that you've already watch the TNG episode "Sarek". Reminding me that we have to wait another month and a half for your reaction.😬🖖

Bruce Bromley

Great reaction girls, not one hundred percent sure if I agree with you on the whole this is a romance thing, I believe your reading too much into it at this point, he always touches peoples heads who are either close to death or have evaded death he did it at devils run with Forrest girl Clara is a typical brassy northern girl so yes she’s gonna flirt and the doctors an attention seeker so they are gonna flirt back. Doesn’t seem as many people being rude on here today oh and thank you for backing up what you said with examples of how he has done the things you don’t like in the past and you didn’t like it then. Anyway great reaction girls thanks again

Steven morgan

@Valkyrie You’re absolutely right. I guess there was some playful flirtiness, but not romantic. We’re in the same page about their reaction to these last couple of episodes. Hypocritically hypocritical if you ask me, lol.

Brandon Scott

I'm only half way through the epesode so if this gets addressed before it's over then just ignore it, but the Doctor's not flirting with Clara. She's flirting with him, sure. And he's fascinated with her, astonished by her, intrigued and confounded, but romantically interested? Not even a little.

Brandon Scott

Mind meld.... <3

It would be convenient if she said her name over the phone? Because people never do that? Idk, feels like you're reaching.

Brandon Scott

I really enjoyed this episode! I'm starting to warm up to Clara bit by bit. She's definitely quite charismatic even though she was a bit much for me last episode. Even though I am aware of Clara's background, this is honestly like watching Clara's run for the first time (aside from major spoilers, which I don't mind), so it will be interesting to see if I always agree with Paula like I seem to so far, or if my opinion will vary from hers as we go on.

Kbex

What? You mean you don't run into people who have died multiple times? You must have a boring life xD I read Paula's reaction as trying to dislike her, especially based on Victorian Clara's interactions. I think she'll warm up especially after the next episode.

Jonathan Greer

Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

Opti_Frog

The Doctor’s obsessed with Clara because he met her twice and she died both times. That’s weird. I thought that was clear

The accent: I had never watched that prequel before and it's funny because as I watched it I thought Matt Smith sounded different. I thought he was doing what I do in the presence of someone with a stronger accent which is unconsciously pick it up a little bit. Then I thought I was just imagining it and then Paula mentions it! I don't know any bts stuff but it sounds like they tried to cast a little girl with an accent closer to Jenna Coleman's. It's actually a bit stronger than hers. It's definitely more Northern than Smith's natural accent. And yes, I guess it's considered less "posh". I enjoy this episode these days, but when I first watched it I was very critical of a lot of things I thought were "silly" including landing the Tardis inside the plane and driving up the side of the Shard. These days I just smile. It's hard to love Clara (and the Doctor) in this because she's smug and he's annoying, but give her a chance. She definitely grew on me. Since we're talking about accents, I come from Cumbria, where the monks supposedly are, but the first monk you hear has a definite North-East accent (where I went to university). Not that it matters but I thought I'd mention it. Oh and the boss lady is Celia Imrie who is a legend and a brilliant comic actress. She's delightfully over the top as Colin Firth's prospective wife in Nanny McPhee. Anyway I just love how well she does at being a child in a grown up body at the end of the episode.

Paula doing the Vulcan salute with that cat-like expression is so darned cute! XD

Well, not always if you count the whole run of Doctor Who, including audios. There was a Trojan, several from the future or different planets/universes completely, one or two from the 18th century, a couple from the 19th, and at least one from the 1930's. I think the reason why New Who does it the way they do is because they've set up the companion as the audience's eyes into the universe, so they make them from a time closer to the present. Though, you could say that Clara is from the past, present AND future, since she's already been a crew member of a spaceship, a Victorian lady and now a girl from our time.

Clara ends up being my favorite companion eventually. Though there are a few close seconds. But I always was a little irritated that they had an opportunity to have a companion from a different era and they wasted it. The fact that the companions are always always always from modern earth when there are so many other times they could be from stretching my willing suspension of disbelief.

Arek Schneyer

I was about to say, What's happened to The Bells of Saint John?? Until I read this! ha

Daniel French

Sorry the Xmas Special The Snowman threw off my list count and I was popping in titles and grabbed the wrong one! Dont worry the episodes are in the right order just not my brain !

Time Lord

I thought so, too, but it is the right episode, just the wrong text on the post.

Scribbles

Nevermind, that's it! Thought I'd lost my mind for a second there.

Scribbles

Looks like they just got the episode number wrong, it is in fact episode 6

Malcolm Wolf

It’s the wrong title, right episode. The Bells of Saint John

Stephen Braybrook
