I really want to like Clara. I liked her when she was Souffle Girl. I liked her in the Christmas special.
But, I don't like what Moffat is doing. Say what you will about RTD, but at least he had unique ideas. The only thing Moffat is capable of is recycling what he's already written about. His originality ended with RTD's era.
Clara is like a conglomeration of River, Rory, and Amy. Rose and Martha were normal people. Donna was the first companion (in the new series) who was really special, but we didn't know why. Since Donna, though, EVERY companion is "special" - Amy because she saves the universe (yawn), Rory because he keeps dying, and now we don't know what the deal is with Clara, but she's "impossible". The whole damn series now revolves around the companions being extraordinary instead of the Doctor.
Amy was special.
Clara is special. And dies over and over, like Rory. And is located throughout time, similar to River.
And now we see her as a young girl. Moffat's obsession with writing the Doctor alongside young girls is actually starting to freak me out a bit. Dude, that is CREEPY as hell. Are you some kind of closet pedophile? I'm sorry, paedophile?
Can we PLEASE just get back to galavanting around the universe meeting strange creatures? Can we please stop having these massive story arcs? Because Moffat gets grand ideas, but then doesn't know how to wrap them up. He ends up writing himself into a corner where he has to reset the universe.
I'd also like to point out that it annoys me to no end that they keep calling these short videos "prequels". At the most, they're shorts.

2012 Christmas Special: The Snowmen
Before I get started, I want to say that I quite enjoyed this episode, and I'm hoping that Clara is a character that I can continue to like. That's right - I currently like Clara. I know you're shocked. (Although, I just remembered that I liked Amy her first few episodes, and it wasn't until later that I started to loathe her with every fiber of my being.)
Likes:
1) I love the opening with the chompy snowflakes.
2) I've actually seen the classic series episode with the Great Intelligence (The Abominable Snowmen), so woot! A reference I understand!
3) It amuses me to no end that Sir Ian McKellen is the voice of the GI.
4) The first time I saw this episode, I got really excited about having an historical companion. Now, I'm pretty bummed that she's contemporary. Again. Except, of course, we don't know what year it is, since Amy apparently traveled around with the Doctor for over a decade.
5) I was unsure of the opening (with Matt Smith's face) at the first viewing - after the second, I've decided that it is growing on me.
6) I was very pleased to see Madam Vastra and Jenny. They are intriguing characters, and I'd like to see more of them. I'd suggest that they make excellent companions, but they are both too intelligent for Moffat. I doubt he would be able to keep it up, and they'd become as infantile and dependent as the rest of Moffat's female characters. (Oh, he does a good job of pretending that Amy is capable, but when it comes down to it, the Doctor treats her like a child, even when she does show guts. Plus, no matter what he does, she always goes back to him.)
7) Clara's birthday is the original airdate of Doctor Who - and MY birthday as well! Let's not even go into the fact that my 33rd birthday (significant if I were a hobbit) is the same date as Doctor Who's 50th anniversary.
Dislikes:
1) Memory worm - cute, but ridiculous. It does serve its purpose, I suppose, but still - meh.
2) Why would Clara chase after the Doctor and pop into his carriage? It just didn't make sense to me. Maybe if it had happened later in the episode, with more build-up, or if there had been a discussion about how she's noticed things going on for a while, it would have been more appropriate.
3) How can the Sontaran take her back to "where we found her" if he's lost his memory of her after handling the worm thing?
4) They need to stop repeating "Doctor who?" over and over. It's tiresome.
5) I'm still not sure what the point of the "one-word test" was; I do know that I don't like that "pond" was her final answer. It was meant for one reason and one reason only: to dredge up emotions of Amy. I don't like being manipulated when there is no other purpose. Not only that, I didn't feel like that "pond" would be the best word to describe the situation. It was meant for the audience, because we know that "pond" would pique the Doctor's interest. Maybe I'm wrong - maybe it will pay off later, maybe Clara knew it would cause that reaction.
6) I HATE HATE HATE the Doctor kissing. We do NOT need any more sex in this show. I feel that it was nice with Rose because there was nothing until her return. Yes, there was a hint of their feelings for each other, but none of this ridiculous sexual tension that the Eleventh Doctor has had with his female companions. I can't remember if I've told you how much I hated the love angle with Martha. If not, I hated that, too.
7) I appreciated the Sherlock theme variation when the Doctor arrives to chat with Dr. Simeon.
8) The Doctor never gave the other companions (at least in the new series) a key to the TARDIS from the get-go. Grr.
9) Why were they just hanging out in the TARDIS chatting instead of doing something about the magic ice lady?
10) After Clara dies, the Doctor says, "she was in my care". What a perfect reflection of Moffat's attitude towards women.
11) The Doctor is clearly uncomfortable with all of Clara's sexual innuendos, yet after she is revived, he's kissing her hands. Aside from that, he's touching her all over her face. It's too intimate for a guy who doesn't know how to deal with human emotion.
12) Clara's dying and revival is too reminiscent of Rory.
13) The map of the London Underground gets my goat. The only point of it is to tie it to The Abominable Snowmen. And it could have been done so much more subtly, with a simple close-up or something. Why the Doctor had to explain it to the GI is beyond me, except for Moffat to say, "do you see what a clever boy I am?" It reminds me of all the times in past episodes where he "sneaks" in a photo of the First or Second Doctor. Yes, we all know you've watched the classic series, you don't have to constantly show off. (If there was a POINT to it, I wouldn't have an issue with it.)
14) Clara's death date was December 24, but she clearly died on December 25. The bells rang, someone said, "it's Christmas Day", and that was before she died.
14) The idea that Clara is special. Donna was special, and that was new. Then Amy was special. And now Clara is special. We need another Rose, another Martha, another Jamie. I'm sick of the series revolving around the goddamn companion.
Interesting Tidbits:
1) The Doctor says, "nice name, Clara - you should keep it".
2) I really hope that the repeated phrase, "Winter is coming" is not this season's "Silence will fall". Also, I'd like to mention that hat phrase is actually the only thing I know about Game of Thrones.
3) I found it interesting that the Doctor surrounded himself with aliens while in London. Why? Also - wouldn't Torchwood know he was there? Oh, right. Moffat completely ignores anything from RTD's era. He also completely ignores anything that isn't convenient to his current plot.
4) Clara is intrigued by the snowmen, but not necessarily scared. Why? To me, it seemed too much like Amy when faced with Prisoner Zero. Then again, we all know what fantastic characters Moffat creates and how original he is with them. /sarcasm
5) Why is Clara alternately a barmaid and a nanny? What's the purpose? Is she investigating the previous nanny's death? If so, why?
Other Thoughts:
1) This was very Turn of the Screw meets Mary Poppins.
2) Speaking of Mary Poppins, have you noticed that all of the Christmas episodes are based on famous Brit Lit: A Christmas Carol; The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; and Mary Poppins.
3) Things that are Mary Poppins-y: living in the cloud, the entire nanny angle, Clara helping the father become closer to his children, the fantastical stories that she tells the children, the children's ages (older girl, younger boy); the umbrella, her ascent into the air (via the ladder, not umbrella).
4) After playing LEGO Lord of the Rings for the last few months, my first thought upon seeing the red and blue "bull's eyes" in the TARDIS was "I need Legolas to shoot them!"
5) Even after a lengthy conversation with my husband, I still have no idea why the snow acted the way it did. Was it alien snow? Was the snow made up of alien beings? Or was it simply a conduit?
6) I would REALLY like to see a companion who isn't a cute, white, female, contemporary companion. This adorable girl who the Doctor wants to protect is just getting old. At least RTD's companions included Martha (still a cute girl, but not white), Captain Jack (male, omni-sexual, and from the 51st century), Mickey (non-white male), and Donna (not a cute girl - sorry!) I still maintain that a series with just Rory and the Doctor (no Amy) would have been amazing.
I know that it seems like I didn't like this episode because I have more "dislikes" than "likes". However, overall, I thought it was a good episode. It was the first episode I felt I was able to watch with my husband since the middle of Matt Smith's first season. The dislikes are mostly just nitpicks and not major issues. I really hope Clara is a good character, and not just a non-ginger Amy.

S7E5: Angels Take Manhatten
Last "notes only" post.
Melody. Really?
Stupid stupid stupid.
We can do whatever we want with time now. There are apparently no stakes.
She would scream a lot louder than that if she'd broken her wrist.
Alex and Matt getting kissy churns my stomach. She's so old, he's so nasty.
Why does Amy look like Harry Potter?
WHAT? He just uses his time energy? WTF?
Too bad she doesn't get the sonic screwdriver now. Hehehe.
I like that Rory's middle name is Arthur.
Rory dies again. Wha wha!
Why are they taking Rory? What's the point?
Yes, let's commit genocide.
Yes, let's create a paradox.
Statue of Liberty? Really? And what is Moffat's obsession with the US?
"You think you'll just come back to life?"
"When don't I?"
What's up with all the black eye makeup on Amy? She looks like a whore.
Amy can't possibly have any maternal feelings towards River.
So. Why can't he just go back?
When you remove the stakes by making it possible to go ANYWHERE for ANY reason, then when you say that you CAN'T go back somewhere, I don't fucking believe you.
Also, if River can go back with her time vortex manipulator, then why doesn't the Doctor use it go back and do something about the situation?
If they created a paradox and survived "reset" if you like, then how come the angels all still exist?
And shouldn't they really have done something about that angel that took Amy? Or were they like, oh well.

This is essentially the same thing that happened to Rose, except Rose was saving the world, and it wasn't her choice. It makes me think that it's Moffat thumbing his nose at all of the Rose fans.
S7E4: The Power of Three
Don't worry, we're almost at the end of the "notes-only" posts. I think the reason I never went back and made these into actual posts is listed down at the bottom of this one ...
So ... I REALLY hate that the Doctor comes by and picks them up every once in a while for an adventure. It's ridiculous.
Are you my mummy? JESUS. Does the man have NO new ideas?
What is wrong with her head?
What the fuck year are we in now? She's been traveling with him for TEN years, and now another year is gone?
Seriously, why is Moffat so fucking wedded to Amy and Rory?
I hate the amount of references to famous people/events.
They always make her up like a whore.
Angry Doctor is angry.
People are dying. People don't seem that interested. Just, "why are they dying?"
I think I really am over Doctor Who. I don't care. I'm not angry, I'm not engaged. I just don't care anymore.

S2E3: A Town Called Mercy
More notes. For some reason this is really, really short. I don't remember why.
So far, I don't like it.
Oh hey, it's Mad-Eye Mood.
Similar to Back to the Future - was it an homage?
Is this similar to The Gunslingers?
You're a mother. I just threw up through my nose.
The Gunslinger is a Terminator.
The Doctor with a gun.
Amy's been doing a lot of sitting around doing nothing lately. What, is she knocked up again?
I still think Matt Smith looks like a corpse, especially in this episode.
What was up with the gun play at the end?
That little girl looks like me.

S2E2: Dinosaurs on Spaceship
Continuing with simply posting my notes.
- I'm sick of these m-f-ing dinos on this m-f-ing spaceship!!
- SO aggravated with the Doctor being a sex symbol.
- Sick of the Doctor being at people's beck and call.
- WHY does he have to go pick up the fucking Ponds again?
- Since when does he go back and pick up his companions for one-off adventures? As far as I know, that never happened before Amy and Rory.
- Rory continues to be the only good thing about Doctor Who.
- Why can't Moffat let the Ponds go?
- I do like that the Doctor has a Christmas list.
- Amy is such a fucking idiot. High-five Nefertiti? Seriously?
- I almost liked Amy when she said, "yes, yes I am [a queen]."
- Did someone cover the Doctor in chocolate? Hehehe.
- Why does Amy wear nail colors that are more suited to a 12-year-old?
- This just got very Jurassic Park.
- Since when does Amy actually have a brain? She acts like she's always been this intelligent.
- Ten was always a braggart. Eleven is worse.
- I'm actually enjoying this episode.
- Hey! I know where I've heard those voices before! They're the guys from That Mitchell and Webb Show! Mitchell and ... er ... Webb.
- Hmm. They just got on a dinosaur. I take it back.
- So the squib just turned into Gollum.
- Maybe Amy will get hit by a bus so Rory can go off with the Doctor.
- I'm really not okay with the Doctor murdering people.
- Hmm. What's going to happen to the Ponds?
- Why isn't Nefertiti back in Egypt?
Ah, according to Wikipedia, she simply vanishes from history. No one knows what happened to her.
- But wait - they steered the spaceship away - but towards what??! What happened to it?

S7 EP1: Aslyum of the Daleks
So I realized I never came back to write these blogs. I don't know what some of these notes mean, and I don't have the energy to go back and watch anything with Amy in it. For now, just deal with my notes, and I'll eventually start writing actual blog posts again.
Daleks coming out of people's heads.
Amy and Rory getting divorced - yay!
She's a crap model - her "slide" down the bannister. Whoopedeedoo.
I hope Rory runs away with the Doctor.
How much trouble? Out of 10, 11.
"Make them remember you." - Uh, she's not Rose.
Oh good. Another skirt.
Angry Doctor is back. Good. We hadn't had enough of that. /sarcasm Also saying that the Doctor is evil. Great.
What color?
I hate the human Daleks.
Amy is clearly a Dalek. She said, "EXPLAIN!"
Constant use of hosts for bad things. Like the shadow thingies. BORING.
Rory is brilliant - eggs eggs eggs eggs eggs.
Oh noes! Amy is in danger of turning into a monster again!
Those are some pretty flimsy chains that are holding those Daleks.
I do like that - Doctor who? They don't remember him.
So here is my theory - if she's a future companion, then what happens is this:
This is the end of her timeline, like River. Because we know how original Moffat is.
The doctor travels to a different time and meets her before she goes on the Alaska. She doesn't remember the Doctor because she had already forgotten that she was a Dalek. And when she wiped their memories, she wiped her own. So when she starts remembering, she doesn't remember the Doctor.
I'm not sure why the bad episodes that RTD wrote are bad, since I haven't dissected them, but I DO know that they don't make me want to gouge holes in the wall the way that Eleventh Doctor episodes do.
