It's interesting how everytime a version of her meets The Doctor, she always dies, even the original Clara.

[@15BTNH]

Coincidence I think not.

[@tatertatertatertatertater]

Actually that's teeeecccchnially not true because the other Clara's who met the doctor in his past might not have died

The best part of this scene for me was how Clara’s scene looks like a regeneration for a moment with how her arms are positioned & she screams...but she just falls to the Earth dead.

[@anonalpaca2513]

That is amazing, actually, I can't believe I didn't notice that before! And just...the horrible, horrible contrast between her and the Doctor when it comes to their deaths. The Doctor dies in a blaze of glory, silently, maybe even nobly waiting for his face to change, but...you can tell that Clara was in the worst pain imaginable, and if the music was gone, she would be screaming. The worst part, is,she wants to go out with dignity like the Doctor does, that's why she repeats "let me be brave." But as soon as the raven hits her...all of that is gone.

[@t.estable3856]

Plus the steam of black smoke she exhales, very reminiscent of The Doctors regeneration energy.

T. Estable true, like the opposite. Like the a Doctor dies and gets a new life while Clara dies and gets nothing.

[@chessemar4618]

Martha leave because she had family and the others companions, maybe they had family but not as big as martha, the first episode that we see martha she is talking to all her family

[@birdscreaming]

CHESSE MAR 115 I mean, Steven Moffat has been dancing around having to write a family for any of his companions - but maybe companions with families like Martha's should be explored more in Doctor Who? Just maybe? Maybe we need to actually see people becoming all friendly with the Doctor end in actual consequences for the COMPANION instead of the DOCTOR again? I mean, seriously - the Ponds and Clara Oswald basically GOT HAPPY ENDINGS even if they could never see the Doctor again.

[@chessemar4618]

yes they had happy endings, but my point is that for example we dont see much of the family of clara and i was thinking that she didnt have anything to worry about in earth and she gave everything to have a life like the doctor and martha had a big family that she cared about.......

Even though this is one of the saddest moments in the series, let's appreciate that atleast this time the Doctor was able to give a one last goodbye to his Clara, instead of losing her in a snap of a finger like with Rory and Amy

[@tomboychick]

We know though that despite their sudden exit for us & the Doctor, Amy & Rory still had full & happy lives together. They live lived, if that makes sense. In that respect, their exit wasn't too sad. Or unexpected, as both had been slowly pulling away from the Doctor (especially Amy's attachment to him) & toward a 'normal' life together. No matter how they finally parted ways with the Doctor, life post TARDIS was still going to be the same for them. Even living in the past, rather than in their present, didn't alter that fact. So it wasn't the fact they were gone, because it was inevitable it was going to happen soon. It was how they left - the abrupt suddenness of it. And once Rory gets zapped, the unintentional brutality of Amy's choice on the Doctor. Of course he knows she'd choose her husband, and that's what he'd want & expect, but it hurts him far more than normal because he's not prepared for it, and hasn't readied himself. Thinking about it though, was the couple's manner of departure a blessing in disguise, compared with the prolonged sense of pain you know is coming? 🤔

He didn't really cry, but you can see it all on his face, absolutely heartbroken at witnessing another companion die without being able to do anything about it. And her scream, silenced for us, but everybody must have heard it echo out across the trap street, just imagine how horrible it truly was, especially for The Doctor, he couldn't do anything but watch.

This scene breaks me in so many ways. Clara knows what the Doctor is capable of when his hearts are broken, and true to her nature, she saves him. Because when the Doctor in vengeful the one who is hurt the most is him. Because when he is broken inside, he isn't afraid to tear worlds apart. He becomes even more reckless without someone to hold him in check. So her last act is saving so many from the fury of a Time Lord. I used to think Rose was my favorite companion. But Clara has surpassed her, amazingly. Because of her moments like this.

Clara is honestly one of my favorite companions in New Who. I feel like out of all them she was the one who saw the doctor for who he was. She knew he wasn't a hero and she knew that while he tried to be a good person he was certainly capable of doing horrible things when he lost himself. I think that's why she tells him not to take revenge on anybody as she knows that that's what he is likely to do. And of course he doesn't listen.

I dont know why so many people looked down on Clara. She was an amazing companion and Jenna played her extremely well. Yes, clara did start off a bit slow but all companions did. But as the series progressed she became more confident and brave. She ended up learning so many things about technology, the doctor, the time war, and even learned the basics to flying the tardis. She was able to stand up for herself and learned to stop being scared. I personally loved the moments where she was able to talk to aliens without the doctor and figure out how to use alien technology on her own. Scenes like that showed how smart and independent clara became.

[@thespb0141]

I think I'm weird in that I loved Clara in Series 7, but from Series 8 I couldn't stand her.

[@cnoelle97]

This is a really late response! but I think people disliked Clara bc she just came across as generally unrelatable & Mary-Sue like. People love smart characters, however they wrote Clara in such a way that it just seemed that she was smart out of nowhere - sort of like a bad fanfic where the character is just incredible at everything. We’re constantly told how important & special & interesting Clara is. They give her more power over the doctors story than any other companion by making her involved in literally every incarnation of him, inspiring him to become The Doctor & surviving being scattered across time & later made her effectively immortal with her own TARDIS. All of this just made her TOO impossible for people to engage with her. Most like to be able to see a bit of themselves in the companions, as they are just humans for the most part who get to become brave & go on impossible adventures. Even Rose (who many people dislike) was at her core just an ordinary girl. Oswin Oswald (Clara as Soufflé girl) was a smart character, flirty, witty & really well received by the audience. I think that’s partly bc we learnt about her backstory in her episode, like her sexuality, her first crush, her love for baking; we don’t know much about Clara outside of the doctor.

[@caroline4323]

And they had great chemistry. They were great together. Jenna and Capaldi. I never understood why people liked Rose so much, I didn´t feel the "love story", it was probably because the teenage audince just liked Tennant and Rose was the "anygirl" from round the corner? Personly prefered Martha Jones over Rose. People usually hate her, that she only made eyes on the Doctor- but what else did Rose? I don´t get it. :)

[@offcialmusicvotes7140]

@@cnoelle97 Ok but we don't really know anything about Clara at all. Clara I think is supposed to be this guardian angel type of person to the doctor, but she never really knows that she herself is supposed to be that person until some episode (I forgot the name) with the 11th doctor. It's sort of like river song. Clara is really just an idea of someone who indirectly saves the doctor sometimes. We never get to actually see the real Clara because it's basically an idea of someone spread out across different realities and times/worlds. We were never really meant to know anything about Clara because Clara isn't one person. If the Clara your talking about that people related to was the whole danny, teacher, lover arch thing then yes your right thats why she was well percieved by the audience. But that clara was the same clara that traveled with both the 11th and 12th doctor. After Danny died she became as (i dont know what other word to describe this as but) loveless, and logic over emotions based as the doctor.

It would have been a perfect way to end her character. And then... well, we all saw what happened after that.

[@GeneralBulldog54]

Her death is a fixed point. She may have been taken out of her timestream and traveled the universe but eventually she does go back to the Gallifrey, is reinserted back in her timestream and eventually dies. Remember time isn't strictly a line of cause to effect, when you have your own TARDIS, time is a ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff. 1 second left could feel like an eternity.

[@err0rxxx290]

[@directorwinston]

I was really quite impressed by how this was handled (before 'Hell Bent' happened) but I do have some gripes with the filmmaking here that I have had with Doctor Who a few times in recent years. I feel like they're just doing too much to make us feel. Clara walks out in slow motion, BIG musical score, she gets killed then screams in slow motion through several different angles like it's an episode of Total Wipeout. Sometimes less is more. I feel the scene would have worked better with no slow-mo and no music at all and sure as hell don't have the scream on action replay because it just became hilarious at that point. Which is a shame because the build up to it was FANTASTIC, especially Peter Capaldi's performance.

[@DavidNicholson101]

Uh, a major character dies, and it's a tragic death too. She is literally staring death straight in the face, and when a family member dies, it's a horribly big deal. Any less than what Moffat did in the scene would have been a disservice to the character.

[@thespb0141]

But it was kind of overdone to the point of hilarity, and would have been much more effective without the OTT music and slo-mo action replays.

I love how she wasn't afraid of getting killed. Not even a tiny bit. But she was scared for her friend, how will he go through all that. I remember I was telling myself "There is enough time before the episode ends. Maybe they save her" and then it hit me and she will actually die and I said ,,If they save her now after all these emotions then I'll be disappointed".

[@tomboychick]

Which did effectively happen. I know Clara will always die in that alley, but knowing that she could be gallivanting around in another TARDIS for millennia, putting off the inevitable, does rather undercut the emotional impact of this scene.

[@beazles4007]

That was so brutal for Doctor Who... I have been a fan for a very long time, seen every companion farewell, and this was so unexpected.

At least Adric died in a quick explosion... this is soooo brutal! And I love it...

No it's not reversed. She does die but it takes her a while to get round to it.

the point of THIS death is ruined by her living out her life. The whole point is that her life was brought to an early end because of her compassion and the whole thing could have been avoided. Me might as well have just removed the death warrant and she lived out her life at home.

I think it was more about the Doctor. When he lost Amy and Rory, he could not go back and rescue them despite how badly he wanted to. Trying to save Clara was about all him, not Clara. She was ready to die. The Doctor wasn't ready.

Obviously that’s a “no-no”. The show wasn’t about the Doctor anymore, it was about Clara. How clever she is, how important she is, blah blah blah. It would be like having Watson one-upping Sherlock all the time. They put too many cooks in the kitchen and it was awful.

[@depressedcockroach4045]

@@dearthofdoohickeys4703 Martha wasn't stupid but naive, Rose well, are we going to talk about her? Her character was about being pretty and perky that's it. I liked Donna too, she was smart in my opinion. Amy had her moments, Rory most of the times haven't. I'm not saying they must be something or must not be something, this is totally on the creators of the show. I just loved clara because she was finally someone that was closer to doctor mentally than anybody else. He was her mentor, nothing else fits better I suppose. Don't know why are you so offended by my comment though. Maybe the wording stupid isn't exact, but rather very mediocre intelligence would do. But that would also offend someone...

[@JamesWolffPiano]

This is probably one of my favourite scenes from the entire show along with the ending of Heaven Sent. It's a shame that so many people have mixed feeling about Clara and the 13th Doctor's run. In my opinion moments like this more than make up for it. It's tragic, dark, cinematic, poetic and beautiful all at the same time. Peter Capaldi's reaction throughout this scene was incredible. Reminds me of Ashildr's speech from Hell Bent later in the season. "She died, Doctor. Clara died billions of years ago. She died for who she was and who she loved. She fell where she stood. It was sad, and it was beautiful. And it is over. We have no right to change who she was. "

You think it's easy to read his. I'm the Doctor. In all seriousness, the only thing I don't like about this scene is the scream at the end. It becomes just a bit overly dramatic. If it was something along the lines of the pain expressed by the Tenth Doctor when he's inside the radiation booth, it would symbolise that she was trying to be as resilient as the Doctor even in death. Shame the method of death isn't that gradual.

If it happens too often it's no longer a shock. When Adric died it was the first time in 20 years since a companion died.

[@elliot20201]

To be fair there were some pretty dramatic, terrible deaths back in the old days too... (Somebody please join me in mourning Sara Kingdom and Katarina, along with the obvious Adric). But I agree -- not every companion leaving needs to be a big sad thing. Ian and Barbara found their way home, Steven stayed behind to lead a colony to equality, Jo found love, and so on and so forth. I like New Who too, but I think the only companion who didn't have a tragic ending was Martha, who left of her own accord but whose awesome and enjoyable characterization was entirely overshadowed by the annoyingly increasing unrequited love bit with the Tenth. Even though Bill (or a version of her, anyway) got her happy ending technically, she also technically still died. And now we've got a TARDIS with three companions instead of one-with-a-secondary-one-sometimes as New Who likes to do, so let's hope Chibnall doesn't take the "kill them all" route or something lmfao

[@yupdatsmeboiii]

Technically everyone before Clara didn't die but they were very dramatic still

[@lofthouse23]

As far as I am aware, only Adric died horribly in Classic-Who. In New Who, Amy and Rory were sent back in time, but lived out their lives happily. Rose is trapped in another dimension with her parents. Martha went home. As far as new companions go, Clara is the only one to die properly.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

Jena Coleman is a babe! I remember a few years ago at an Armageddon Expo Jena coleman was one of the guests and one of the interesting things she mentioned was the height difference between her and Peter Capaldi (She's 5' 1" tall) which could make scenes where they were standing close together awkward to film. She said that often they had a box for her to stand on to make the filming these scenes less awkward.
