Doctor Who: The Legends of Ashildr

Product Information

invoked The physical damage done to the old man and later to Clara appears to be enough to cause them great pain, and apparently isn't something the Doctor can use regeneration energy to heal (since if he was willing to spare some for Davros he'd certainly do it for her). The rest is ( unfortunately) left to our imagination. Written by Sarah Dollard, this episode's events open the three part Series 9 finale , with Clara Oswald's fate the turning point of the entire season. Trailers Always Spoil: The official BBC trailer and the Next Time trailer at the end of " Sleep No More" revealed that this is Clara's farewell episode and even included her final words as she walks towards the raven. The trailer also spoiled Ashildr's return. Fans cite this (and similar spoilery promotion for the season finale) as examples of the BBC ruining too many surprises.

Clara takes Rigsy's death sentence on herself — she thought they would find a way out of it, but in the end it's both this and a Senseless Sacrifice. Worse, it's effectively incomplete: While she demands that the Doctor not take revenge, that "no one else, here or anywhere, will suffer" when she dies, he points out that he will suffer for her loss. All she can do is tell him to heal himself and be brave. As it turns out, once he's Driven to Madness in the next episode the only way he thinks he can heal himself — by saving her from this death after the fact — will risk the safety of the entire universe...Ashildr was killed in the process, but was resurrected by the Doctor altering a Mire repair kit to fix human physiology. He left another for her to give to whomever she chose, knowing that she would continually be fixed, thus losing the "ability" to die. The Doctor later realised that she was a human-Mire hybrid. ( TV: The Girl Who Died) The Doctor maintained surveillance of Ashildr/Me, keeping the information in a room of his TARDIS that, for reasons unknown, he kept hidden from Clara, though she found out about it. Ashildr/Me learned of its existence when Clara told her shortly before her death. ( TV: Face the Raven)

Trauma Conga Line: This episode begins one for the Twelfth Doctor: He's lured into a trap and betrayed by Ashildr, Clara's attempt to save the day gets her Killed Off for Real, and unable to do anything to escape he's delivered into the hands of an unknown enemy, leaving his TARDIS abandoned on Earth. And it's only going to get worse from here. Rollason, Jane. "Level 2: Doctor Who: The Girl Who Died: Jane Rollason: 9781292206134". Book Depository. Rigsy's portrait of Clara that adorns the TARDIS doors in the post-credit sequence is based upon a publicity photograph of Jenna Coleman used to promote her appearances at science fiction conventions.

Copy Protection: The "trap street" method of copy protection is discussed in universe. However, there is at least one trap street that is a real place.

Not every person who worked on this adventure was credited. The absence of a credit for a position doesn't necessarily mean the job wasn't required.

The Doctor revealed he had come to the same conclusion and was thus planning to erase all Clara's memories of him and leave her someplace safe. Me then entered the Doctor's stolen TARDIS and witnessed his final confrontation with Clara in silence. ( TV: Hell Bent)The dual nature of the relationship between the Twelfth Doctor and Me is reflected in her being both a playable character and an enemy in the Doctor Who: Legacy mobile game. The ally character wears a costume from the television story The Woman Who Lived, while the enemy is depicted in an outfit from the television story Face the Raven. Love Hurts: The Doctor's heartbreak and guilt over Clara's impending demise is so intense that it tempts him to seek Revenge on those responsible for it. Acceptance: But only for Clara. Tragically, because he's immediately sent off to the lonely, deadly world of the confession dial in the next episode, the Doctor ends up cycling through Anger and Depression for a long, long time to come. It ultimately drives him to Denial that there is no way he can safely save her, so in " Hell Bent" he tries Bargaining again... with the universe.
