Doctor Who, S9 Ep10

Doctor Who, S9 Ep10

Hi everybody, Mary here.

So, here's the review of the tenth episode in the ninth series of Doctor Who ! Without any further ado, let's get started, shall we ?

Face The Raven

So, here are the three words I've chosen to describe this episode :

- Ashildr and her deal : So, in this episode, there's a guy who has a tattoo that gives a countdown before he'll be killed, by a raven, And apparently, she has tricked the Doctor into coming so she can teleport him to some people who want him. Anyways, it's very heart-breaking to see such an innocent person as her, in the past, just killing people because they took medecines to save their loved ones... anyways, her principles have changed a lot since she was just a child. I thought she had repented herself in The Woman Who Lived, but apparently, she already forgot that. Unlimited life, limited memory, that's the curse of Ashildr.

- Clara's death : So, Clara has decided to sacrifice herself in order to save the guy, Rigsey, when in the end, if she hadn't taken the mark from him, Ashildr would have taken the mark herself anyways in exchange for the Doctor's teleportation to the place where we'll see him in the next episode. Well, I wasn't expecting for that ending, so I'll pretend that it didn't include Clara stoking the Doctor's cheek and all those sappy moments, and the speech. *cries in a pool of tears and pretends the hatred I had against Clara has faded away, I never hated her, just the fact that they used the exact same plot on her all the time*

- Being reckless was Clara's fate : so, as we've seen recently, Clara has been a little bit reckless, and now she has to pay the price for all the danger she's been put through all over this series. Just like Rigsey telling the Doctor, "she's enjoyed that way too much", as she almost died by falling off the TARDIS. Just like every other episode, she thought there would be a way to make it up, somehow. But there isn't, now, and now she has to be brave and accept the consequences of her actions... And maybe, as she said herself, it was her fate.

Overall impression : EVERYTHING HURTS SO BAD URGH ALSO Jane Austen and Clara used to prank each other I want to read LOADS of fanfics about this RIGHT NOW to avoid the feels.

Okay, that's it for today ! I really hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you very soon with another one !

And as usual, our last word : KIDNEYS !
