Exactly. Love is when the welfare and wellbeing of another is so important that it really doesn't matter what they do. They can betray you, they can break your heart, but you still love them. It doesn't matter how much it hurts, you still love them. Obviously, if such a bond is repeatedly abused by someone with no respect for it, love may dwindle or die, but no single action can destroy true and unconditional love.

[@DL-wu9kk]

I think that's why the twelfth's doctor's love for clara seems so deep compared to the eleventh's. sure the eleventh really was flirty and more affectionate but the twelfth doctor was so much more sacrificial in his love for clara.

[@Peter_S.Woldrich]

Because, unlike 11th, he realized he is not a partner for her.

[@linasmith5604]

deb well the Eleventh was extremely suspicious of Clara.He didn't allow himself to love her like he did with Amy for instance.After he found out who she was he treated her like every other companion.Just watch the Time of The Doctor: he did everything to keep her save even if it means he won't see her again. you can't really compare it because it were different circumstances.

[@linasmith5604]

Severus Versus the Eleventh Doctor flirted with Clara but he wasn't interested.Big difference. Doesn't mean that he didn't like her

[@Peter_S.Woldrich]

Sorry, but he himself said he had to realize that he is not her boyfriend, wich means he thought of him like that.

[@linasmith5604]

Severus Versus he just said: I didn't say it was your fault. This means that the Doctor behaved like a boyfriend (flirted with her etc.) and after sometime she began to fancy him (she said so herself) and he wanted to put an end to that.The eleventh probably enjoyed the attention but he was never interested in Clara after he found out her mystery.He liked her like his other companions.

[@DL-wu9kk]

I totally fell in love with the twelfth doctor at this moment. how can he be so forgiving and so giving after such an insanely selfish act.

[@DL-wu9kk]

Green Whovian. good point. but in those situations the Master hurt/killed others and didn't directly impact the Doctor. The Doctor also doesn't have the same level of trust with the Master like he had with Clara. His relationship with the Master is categorically different than his relationship with Clara. Clara is someone he trusted who betrayed him personally. That's like if you're girlfriend/boyfriend competely betrayed and sabotaged you in the most selfish way possible. That's different than if he/she did something to a random stranger. i"m not saying one is better or worse than the other act, but i'm saying that one can be felt more personally and have a deeper sting than the other.

I feel like this was the turning point in their relationship.

She obviously saw at that point that the Doctor she knew was still in there.

And it should have been a moment where the Doctor realized the coldness was a front, and that underneath that was still a very kind being. Notice how he looks more hurt that she thinks he would turn her away than he was from her betraying him!

[@CinemaBiohazard]

It's interesting how Colin Baker and Peter Capaldi's times in the role were marred by some wonky writing but in general both actors managed to rise above it and do some amazing things. Also note they were also Doctors who were seen as abrasive but eventually became more well-rounded and deeper Doctors than one expects.

[@thebighurt2495]

Clara was to Twelve like Ten's Rose and Eleven's Amy. To put it as Eleven did: "The first face this face ever saw." THAT's why they were so special to them.

[@palomaengralopez]

I think twelve loves clara like ten loves rose. They was more than friends, both was in love with the other. Eleven and amy were luke brother and little sister.

[@palomaengralopez]

I think it's love. I think 10 did not behave the same with Rose as with Donna, for example, and I think that 12 did not behave the same with Clara as with Billie. The looks, the gestures, were more intimate with Rose and Clara. Regarding 11, his behavior with amy was for my opinion of brother and sister, he did not notice desire on his part

[@palomaengralopez]

@Ayla Alyai know that there are many Doctor Who fans who are annoyed by the idea that the doctor has a romantic relationship either with the clear ones or with anybody as long as they can stand up to riversong and because they made it very clear that there was a wedding. I think that's the problem, the doctor can have friends, but girlfriend / boyfriend?

[@palomaengralopez]

@Ayla Alya i would recommend the whole season 8: the doctor has changed and clear and they have to get used to each other. I paid attention to the obsession of 12 to keep near to her side despite how she behaved sometimes, because 12 is more grumpy and manipulative than 11. From season 9 the chapters 2 (although to understand it you have to see the 1) the 3 and the 4 (those ofthe submarine base,) the 5 (the one of the vikings) the 7 and the 8 (the invasion zygon) and all from the 10 (the subject is the legendary hybrid).

I think the dynamic here is fantastic. It feels like a mentor and student. The doctor is showing his age through his huge compassion for Clara. He is far older than her and has experienced far greater grief than she has, so he's coaching her through this with care and understanding. A beautiful scene.

When he said "Go to hell" when I first saw this I was like... Damn this doctor ain't fucking around.

[@SchultzDorinda]

I was like, she deserves that. Finally we're gonna be rid of her, good riddance. It would also explain why the TARDIS doesn't like her. It would have been complete and perfect. Showing that some of the Doctor's companions can turn out so bad that they get thrown out is great writting. But having the Doctor keeping her around, and complying to her wish, and going to a place he can't possibly go, because he doesn't know anything about that place, is terrible writting. And it ruins the Doctor's character to me. Yes the Doctor can be kind and understanding. But he also is a Time Lord. He is the very last Time Lord. Protecting the laws of Time is his job. You betray him the way she tries, and you prove your unworthy of traveling in the TARDIS. The real Doctor (look at his previous selves) would have kicked her out.

[@nero294]

@@SchultzDorinda @シュルツドリンダ no he would not have. Absolutely not have. Rose saved her dad despite the doctor telling her not to. And nothing. The doctor wouldn't abandon his best friend in her darkest hour. No way in hell. Especially as the kind and who tries to help Daleks even after they wiped out his race. It's perfectly in line with all versions of his character. He's forgiving. He also went to the place he can't ever go for Jenny and the Victorian gang his own death place. He has no problems breaking the laws of time for people he loves. Literary this was exactly what the doctor would do and it's not bad writing. The egg as the moon was bad writing

[@Seemlypseudonym]

I think the Doctor's calculation here is obvious: he doesn't blame Clara for what she did because in the end there were no real consequences (unlike Rose and Amy, who were both almost excluded from the TARDIS previously). What the sequence with the sleep patch did was show the Doctor the extent of Clara's trauma in light of Danny's death and the impossible situation he had to deal with: if he wants Clara to continue to travel with him, then he has to make some effort to bring Danny back from the dead, because otherwise his inaction would hover like a black cloud over all their future adventures - every world saved, every wrong righted, every incredible, impossible thing the Doctor does would be marred by the same question: "You can do all that but you couldn't save the love of my life?" So he has to go down this rabbit hole with her and ride out her grief in the hope that he might exhaust her desperation and disabuse her of the belief that he can do anything, so that she can finally accept Danny's death and begin to heal.

[@emmavanlieshout9389]

For real! My favorite bit is 1:50 when Clara looks down and swallows back her tears. She looks like a tidal wave of shame is just washing over her. She can't bear to look at the Doctor because she's realizing just how much love he has for her--love that she abused and took advantage of.

[@TheWPhilosopher]

Of course. I'm not one for biblical verse normally but that is in essence what Paul's letter to the Corinthians says as well. Love is patient. Love doesn't keep score. It's not about tit for tat. Not true love anyway. True love is being hurt by someone, not accepting the act which is wrong, but still loving the person behind it anyway. True love is letting someone go you love very much because you can see it's in their interest. For their growth. While holding in to them though it'd hurt less would be selfish. True love encompasses all because it has no conditions. It just is. And always will be. Here I am. Who I am is where I stand. Where I stand is where I fall. Naysayers may call it foolish or naive but true love cares not for these things. It carries on and enjoins. Which in itself is strength. This is the greatest lesson we can take from the Doctor. You can get angry, you can challenge people, push people to be and so better but start from love first and communication. Only if it's not reciprocated or bad continues to be propagated by the other party do you have to shut it down. Not because you don't love but because you do. To save the ones worth saving as proven by themselves. Whew that ended up being longer than expected sorry guys.

Helps a lot to have centuries of experience dealing with humans, feelings and your own repressed guilt and grief.

He’s just like the purest incarnation of the Doctor, with no mask on and showing his true self. 11 was the fun and quirky Doctor, 10 was the almost serious but allowed to enjoy himself Doctor, 9 was the hopeful and optimistic Doctor, the Doctor that was allowed to rest from war but could relax knowing he could help, I won’t go into the rest.

[@KM-jb3vg]

No way this was 5 years ago. Where the hell did time go. I miss Clara

[@12thdoctor]

Who doesn't?

[@blackenedwritings]

This is a scene that to me defines who the Doctor is. Another one would be the "Everybody lives!" moment.

[@AtrocityEquine01]

12 will always be my favorite. Clara betrayed him and his response was to forgive her, but firmly tell her "you being sad and pitiful isn't gonna help, so get your shit together and let's save your boyfriend". GOD Capaldi fucking did an amazing job.

[@Hitman-ds1ei]

Capaldi and Jenna are by far my two favourites, their individual characters and their dynamic duo are unmatched for me

[@benjalucian1515]

This line made the Capaldi doctor great. Of course this is exactly what an immortal being would say and feel. To paraphrase Anne Rice, "What could love turn into if you had an eternity to nourish it?" The doctor loved and was in love with Clara. And in a reverse of most doctor / companion stories, harkening to the earlier ones, Clara loved the doctor but she wasn't IN love with him. Great great scene.

[@HeronWolf]

11 and 12 are almost the exact opposite. 11 acted like a funny, caring, laid back, quirky guy, but beneath the surface he harbored unimaginable amounts of pain and anger. But 12 turned that on its head. he his quirky moments, but he tended to hide the caring attitude, almost making him seem mean, except for moments like this one.

[@surfwaxbum]

Peter Capaldi still gives me chills...also I've met (almost) every still living Doctor in person and he was the nicest and warmest of them all =)

Capaldi's doctor is aging like a fine wine. I remember being really down on Season 8 when I first saw it, but the more I watch the more I really like it. I'm glad to be proven wrong. Capaldi was really great.

[@paulwagner688]

@Michala1998 Moffatt said he was going to do a kind of "reboot" after 11. This is why he chose Capaldi. The Doctor who has finally accepted his burdens instead of running away from them.

[@Pardonanodrap]

This really is an *incredible* scene. I *am* missing the 'I don't deserve a friend like you. / I'm sorry Clara, but I'm exactly what you deserve.' here, though.

[@FrogSpatula42]

Holy fucking shit, this scene is right up there with Doctor Who's collection of "Best Character Moments Ever"

[@blakeisawesome95]

Capaldi’s Doctor is still very underrated. Gonna miss him.

[@humanbean5114]

There are good actors and then there are Peter Capaldi's eyebrows

[@wanderingshadow1372]

This is the moment that Twelve became the Doctor for me. For the majority of Series 8 he is disturbingly cold and somewhat of a jerk, especially to Clara. But then, he goes ahead and does this. Helps her even though she betrayed him out of desperation, and then there's no hard feelings afterwards. Twelve is great.

[@peschool]

Same here. That's why I posted this scene!

[@Kissfan96dr]

It's why Twelve is my favorite. You watch him evolve as a man from cold and jerky to kind and compassionate over 3 seasons. Much like real life.

[@malcolmmorin]

"Sometimes, all you have are bad choices. But you still have to choose." I think that was the bottom line of all of 12's choices throughout series 8. It was nothing but bad situation after bad situation with no good choice. If you waste time trying to find a good option, eventually you're going to run out of options.

[@gigaatom]

I love his genuine surprise at Clara turning to leave

[@leeannturner494]

What's really lovely is that he says "you've betrayed me, my trust & everything I've ever stood for, but I love you enough to want to see you happy, it means so much to me to see you happy. I'm your friend & I like to see you happy, so I'm going to forgive you everything you have just done & help you".

[@proclubsjov3583]

This is quite possibly the greatest line in doctor who ever

[@sw2295]

Almost. The best line was „I had a duty of care“. After dying again and again for billions of years. Peter Capaldi again by the way

One thing that's overlooked in this scene: the Doctor genuinely thinks an Afterlife exists and wants to find one. That's a pretty revealing moment right there, and quite funny how he's so curious about one but so busy that he's never got the chance to actively pursue one.

[@anon5263]

That is actually fascinating. It doesn't deny their existence either, which is nice. Most lefty sci fi writers tend to go heavily on the Anti-Christian sentiment.

[@bluejay4960]

It’s interesting to me how polarized the comments are for this scene. There are the people who dislike 12 and just think this is another bad scene (so then... why are they watching a video of it... ah whatever). There are the ones who don’t like Clara, and don’t understand how the Doctor can forgive her betrayal for no clear reason. And there are the Clara supporters who see this scene as 12 finding his... humanity, if you will, and see Clara’s earlier actions as a desperate response to the traumatic experience of listening to the man she loved die senselessly in a car crash. And then of course the people who are here because of “the thing with the eyes” and that is valid.

This is one of the reasons why Capaldis dr who run was the best.

I was so disappointed when he was announced 12 but he definitely grew on me, his dry humour, his secret browser history and most importantly moments like this, his heart(s) on his shoulder.

[@benjalucian1515]

I was disappointed as well, until the actual first episode when #11 calls Clara on the Tardis phone when she's standing in front of #12 and Capaldi's doctor is telling Clara, "I'm right here." I was in tears by then, totally onboard with him.

Yeah I was a little weirded out seeing an old doctor but he was fricken awesome and he is in my top 5 favorite doctors. I think after 13 they should go back to having an old doctor maybe Sean Pertwee or Martin Sheen.

Love this scene: how to extend grace without being maudlin. The same lesson is given in the climax of Death In Heaven: love is a promise not an emotion.

This is why i love them; even when the trust is broken between them, they can still mend their bond by doing what they both do best; being kind, loving loyal and forgiving. Their friendship is so strong that it can withstand anything. They may seem cold and selfish at times, but in reality, deep down they're just 2 soft-hearted people who wanna do the right things and help others, including each other. They really were the best pair there's ever been on doctor who, and the best characters we've had so far (in my opinion).

[@coffeejellyash]

Another example of how the Doctor has a soul of gold.

[@fvunders]

Clara and Twelve has an incredibly deep friendship, something that couldn’t have been dismissed for one mistake she made. They’ve been making them for years. In Clara’s eyes Twelve betrayed her in the episode with the moon (I can’t remember what season) Their friendship can withstand that. And also, though I do not condone Clara’s actions, she was distraught, she was desperate to cling on to the last bit of hope she had to save Danny. Twelve recognised the loss, the desperation, and the love. Personally I think Danny was the person who kept Clara grounded, you see her ego get the better of her in her last season. That’s just my opinion though.
