Take a look back on Clara's story in Doctor Who since she first appeared on our screens in 2012 until she Faced the Raven... Goodbye, Impossible Girl! (By Jack Judge) Links: WhovianFanbase
Clara's ending is super sad! She's so far the only companion that properly killed off (she died young) since 2005. While some it's clear that Clara got her own Tardis to travel around, Clara's death on trap street is still an established event, Clara still has to die or else, the Universe would collapse.
I would have only done one thing differently. Right after Clara said that her death was a fix point, I would have cut in Matt Smith's Doctor saying the exact same thing about his death. The similarities are too striking to ignore.
Both of them die in their fixed point in shave and time. The trick is they get their the long way round. The Doctor's final incantation will go back and die for the last time inside the robot Smith's doctor used to fake it, and Clara will die in flag street at that point in space and time. They'll just both be at least a few thousand years older and having traveled forwards and backwards through time, possibly running into each other again and again, until their final moments actually happen. The universe needed to see the doctor die then and there as Smith even if he's actually say the curator when he dies the final time them and there. And Clara will eventually return to gallifrey to be reinserted into the timesteam at the moment of her death, but who knows how long it'll be before they go to their final testing places. Hell Clara may be the one to park his TARDIS where it will rest forever.
Clara was an awesome character with a lot of development throughout the last three seasons. She became my favorite companion in series 8 and what I loved about her the most was her relationship with the twelfth Doctor. The chemistry they had was so special and unique and that's what made her stand out from the rest of the companions. It's a shame she received so much hatred from many of the fans.
The only companion who has a brilliant beginning and end. "Run you clever boy...and remember." Relevant in the first billion times she saved the Doctor, and long after he could no longer remember her.
Susan's was a huge step forward for not only her but The Doctor's as well - he didn't want her to go but knew staying on Earth with David was absolutely what she needed to mature and become her own person, which ended in the iconic and very emotional speech from Hartnell. Sara Kingdom being physically shown on screen to age up fast and turn to dust - a quick and out of no where death, with the Doctor having to witness it, which would shock any new watcher definitley. Jo Grant - while the marriage did come a bit out of nowhere, the result of seeing the Third Doctor completely broken and just depressed was very harsh and the resulting scenes of him driving off into the sunset in Bessie, not a word said nor any score playing was very powerful. Lucie Miller had a very powerful and brilliant send off which I do not want to discuss here as you need to go and listen to the 8th Doctors audio series' to properly appreciate it, they're so good. And how can we not mention Adric - I don't think I need to say much here, the silent credits said it all to be honest. I will grant you that a lot were just out of nowhere and more casual than the big bombastic send offs we've got in recent years, but it's not fair to say none of them had a damn good send off.
@@denisenaylor1229 I didn't dislike bill but shes also my least favourite companion she was very much a filler companion around for 1 season and I feel she didnt really bring a lot to the table. I feel like her character was super chill but almost too chill with everything perhaps a bit more reaction to the crazy wonderful world of travelling with the doctor? I dont know. I did like how they wrapped up her story though with her going with that other girl that was cute. Although whh they bought hed back and in front of the doctor and the confusion about whether it was really her or not like I'm still confused about that..
I think Jenna's contribution to Doctor Who is sometimes overlooked, but she's actually one of the all time greats. Clara was a brilliant character and she brought it to life so well. Her and Capaldi were the best duo since Tennant and Tate and their parting was the most heartbreaking since their's as well.
I love the way 12th began to slowly mellow and (though he always loved her) really began to show proper care and affection for Clara, but most of all how through everything Clara stayed by him
Clara's the most underrated companion of the revived series. I like her better than Amy, Rory and Bill combined. She went through so much tragedy in her life I just wanted to give her a huge hug!
Some of her writing was SAVED by Jenna’s acting. I loved Clara, but her writing was convoluted and confusing sometimes. Jenna’s portrayal of her made her into the Clara I loved and brought real depth and emotion to the character.
For me, Clara was and always will be my favourite character in Doctor Who. Her personality, humour, theme song, and heartbreaking exit, all add up to her being my favourite character ever. Thank you so much for making this video, it is so amazing!
This is wonderful. Just wonderful. And mixing Clara's death with flashbacks of her time on the TARDIS? Emotion overload. Well done, you've done a fantastic job.
Clara was a great companion. Clara had saved the Doctor to make the regeneration possible (I regret saying that just now, I loved Matt). Clara helped him again, and again, and again. She had a boyfriend, she met SANTA, she died 2 times, and said goodbye in a TARDIS! She was awesome!
Cheeky bit at the end there with adding the "I Am the Doctor" theme music. Clara's transformation from apprentice to de-facto Time Lady is complete. I for one loved it, because I predicted all the way back last year that she'd get her own TARDIS and zoom away. So I'm glad it ended that way. And I'm glad it made all of the Clara-haters' heads explode. :-P
I think how Moffat approached the idea of the Doctor having such an influence on his companion was done amazingly well and the epic conclusion to Clara's story, having her own TARDIS was a perfect ending for her!
+Daziysajalah Yep. And boy am I going to miss her. Though I hope she comes back for Capaldi's farewell episode. All the new series companions have, so far. Also, I didn't realize it until the third time I watched "Hell Bent," but the Doctor's final words to her as his memory was slipping away...he said that because he knew she'd take the TARDIS and have her own adventures. Sigh.... the show is about change, and it'll move on, but there will never be another like Jenna/Clara. She was a divisive companion, but I loved her from the first 5 minutes she was onscreen. Perfect casting, and they took her on an awesome character arc.
She was ab equal for the Dr and some of the best, beautiful and heart breaking times. For me She is and will always be among the best. the show would never been as good without the companions and she was among the best. Written fantastically and acted superbly.
@@AtarusArchive in MY opinion, rose was worst, i don't like martha but it was very realistic, donna was good, amy and rory were the best, clara comes closest to amy and rory. But again, just MY opinion
My favorite companion hands down. The love between her and 11th was perfect. I wish they actually said it on screen, but 12th said 11th thought she was his girlfriend
I saw all of the episodes up to just before they "went woke". I knew the show was doomed and didn't bother going past. Clara is my favorite assistant with Karen Gillan's Amy Pond coming second. The Doctor Who seasons I have on DVD focus mainly around the time from Amy to Clara because they were my favorites. And Clara has the best line in the whole series "Run you clever boy, and remember."
Her story was incredible and I loved how amazinly hard to follow her timeline was. This video clearly shows us the complexity and beauty of Clara, thank u creator from all of us whovians!
This video is a masterpiece! I can barely make a 2 minute video, much less a 20 minute one! This video made me laugh and cry and brought back all my Clara feels. Well done.
I LOVE!!! CLARA OSWALD she is my Favorite Doctor Who Companion. OMG! This documentary of Clara made me Cry Thank You so much JENNA COLEMAN for playing the role of CLARA OSWALD!!! :D :D :D :) :) :)
I would still love the writers to do a "wrap up" of Clara Oswald's story. She ended up travelling in the Tardis with Me, (while her heartbeat was still stopped). The Doctor (Capaldi), saw her name at the University, on the huge Alumni "Teacher's list Plaque" in the main corridor, while he was teaching there. So she HAD to go on, after she met the Doctor in the CAFE, (where he writes her this sad melody on his guitar, to try to remember her, and what she looked like). Clara told Me, she was taking the "long way around " before she returned back to Gallifrey to die...again. Just how "long" that was, was never stated. So, going with this New set of rules governing Jodie's Doctor. With Gallifrey destroyed, and past companions popping up everywhere. If Clara was still "taking the long road" back to Gallifrey , and now it's destroyed, will she continue traveling forever in the Tardis (with or without Me?). And has her heart started to beat again? (For a number of reasons). So many possibilities to explore! Clara was my favorite, Doctor's Companion. Personally I liked her with Matt Smith the best, but as Capaldi's companion she also was amazing. I would love to see an episode with Clara, meeting Jodie's Doctor, and wrapping her storyline up. It would be Amazing to see her continuing in the Tardis (that was Me's, and stolen like the Doctor's was), and every so often, meeting up with the Doctor. (I must add, that Tom Baker, and Matt Smith's Doctors are my very favorites, I could always see Tom Baker's, Doctor, shining through in Matt Smith's, Doctor. Perhaps Matt did that on purpose, or maybe they are just that much alike in personalities. But they are BOTH, my favorite Doctor! (And Clara Oswald, my favorite companion !!). 😁👍🥰p
I love Clara Oswald so much!!!!!!!!!!!! She is the most beautiful female character ever created by anyone who wrote any story in the history of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best and undisputedley the most Gorgeous of all the Doctors assistants. fortunate to straddle two of the finest ever versions of our all time favourite Time Lord....God bless Jenna Coleman
Thank you! This video reminds me why Clara is my favorite companion of many wonderful companions of New Who, right up There with Sarah Jane Smith in Orginal Who. The BBC really needs a Spin-off with Clara and Me in the T.A.R.D.I.S., not that it would be easy to get them now. I’d forgotten how funny the new broken chameleon circuit was. Again, wonderful work on your part for putting together such a moving memorial to a wonderful and timeless and timefull character.
The Raven,,, that wild poem about a love who was everything, everywhere, and everyone. Seeing the ours pass by as it gets darker and darker yet holding on tight to the memory of her, how she stood, walked, those things she would says, as the others would bring her back to him every day,, and yet will he EVER see her,,,, nevermore, his Clara, his Raven, his love
OMG i guess people really like to make me cry i just CANT clara has been sush an inpect on my life and jenna and peter have sush a great relationship and i am going to miss her so much i just hope she comes one more time back and she just tells the doctor what she says in the cloisters
yeah I just have that feeling. like there is a lot of foreshadowing that it is the end, but thinking about it there where a lot of foreshadowing when rose left but she came back.
I really think he should still meet Clara and Ashrld now that they are traveling together. And it would be brilliant to see the doctor looking at Clara like he has just met her ( Since he forgot Clara in Hell bent) and Clara trying to hide that she knows The Doctor so well.
My all time favorite companion. Her journey with 11 and 12 was filled with joy, pain, heartbreak, redemption, and emotion. She saved the Doctor countless times and was responsible for saving Gallifrey as well, just by reminding 11 that she was there. Both Capaldi and Jenna Coleman should have received award after award for their portrayals. Thank you so much for this.
Clara will always be my favorite companion....And she also wins the award for the companion who cried the most... You know she's one of the few companions who became like the doctors Best Friend! She is always going to be the best!
Jenna and Karen Gillan, they're both my fave companions. So beautiful, smart and strong! Such great character development and acting! Been a DW fan since I was 5 when I was introduced to the classic episodes by my uncle. Thank you, Uncle Hector! Allons y! The girl who waited and the impossible girl!
Thank you so much for posting this incredible tribute to the Impossible Girl Clara Oswald who happens to be one of my favorite companions, she had so much depth as a character and was so special. I miss her very much but Jenna Coleman has come a long way since her Doctor Who days and has shown how incredibly talented and versatile she is. I just hope that one day we will get to see a possible return of Clara, I never thought her story was over.
For me, Jenna Coleman is the living embodiment of too good to be true. She's probably the most versatile actress in her generation, able to convey more with her eyes, even through contact lenses as shown in Victoria, than most actresses can with their entire faces. On top of that, she seems to be a lovely woman in real life. The problem is that I find Jenna intimidating because I'm always looking for a crack in the facade, constantly waiting for the pedestal to crumble. I feel like Matt Smith's Doctor in the early stages of his relationship with Clara because part of my brain keeps thinking something along the lines of "Jenna's too fucking perfect. There has to be SOMETHING wrong with her. She can't be a wonderful actress and a wonderful person at the same time, can she?" I learned that Jenna likes to keep trinkets from stuff she's worked on. This makes me wonder if she might be a kleptomaniac but 1) I'm aware that I'm probably projecting that onto her just because I'm looking for flaws and 2) even if she is a kleptomaniac, that just makes me like her more.
Clara dying actually physically hurt me. I remember but not being okay for weeks on end after her death, and I just brought myself back to that point. Clara is and has always been my favorite companion, so witty and clever and sly hidden behind such an innocent look. She saved the Doctor and the Universe countless times. She will always have my heart
I wonder if people truly understand that The Doctor never truly killed his people... He simply removed them from time and space and trapped them in a single moment.
The Ponds will always be my favorite companions but Clara Oswin Oswald will always be my favorite character beside the doctor! When she entered the show as companion I wished they‘d used the Victoria Clara, she was witty, brave, curious, flirty, strong and confident, modern Clara was missing all of this but confidence but she developed into a character I would love to have as real friend. And her story is not finished yet. She and Me are the hybrid who will stand in the ruins of Gallifrey and she might get an happy ending
This is the best thing I've seen since the actual series a tribute to Clara Oswin Oswald I love her so much he tried to save her just like in the episode with David tennant and Peter capaldi In the fire of pompaii it's amazing
Personally, Clara is my favorite character on a adventure standpoint. With the other companions, I didn't feel like they wanted to be there some of the times but with Clara I knew she was having fun running around with The Doctor. On a more emotional level Rose is my favorite obviously because they fall in love. Amy falls below them but I still enjoyed her as it was something new because it was the first time there was 2 constant companions than the usual one.
Clara Oswald was one of the bravest companions on Doctor Who I've ever seen she died to protect but she left a man who is angry but with the kind hearts the doctor we not remember but soon to remember Clara Oswald was his friend out of all the friends he's had they are still his family I give luck to the new doctor but never forget the old doctors are inside the memories the loved ones will always be with the doctor
...........Thank you for reminding me how painful Clara's death was... :'( But don't worry. I'm not mad. You did a fantastic job. (see what I did there?) The story of Echo Oswin, Echo Victoria and Clara Oswald represented here in the funny moments, dark moments, bittersweet moments, sad moments and epic moments was incredibly well-done. :D I really enjoyed it. :) Well, it's been one heck of a ride, I'll tell you that! And I haven't regretted any moment of it... :') And while I can kind of understand why some people don't like Clara, as she WAS bossy, demanding, controlling and pushy, for me that never made me hate her. :) If you DO hate her, that's fine. It's your opinion. But imho, she was an amazing, well-crafted, well-developed, well-acted, brilliant, cool and fantastic woman... And when the new companion comes along, whether she be an old face like Shona or Osgood, or a new one, it'll take some time getting used to her as she has BIG shoes to fill! And with this long comment coming to an end, I just have this to say: Run you clever girl... And remember us. :')
It never made me hate her either, it only made her character even more intriguing to me because you can't have a good character without flaws. People complained that she was apparently "too perfect" in series 7, but then when the writers developed more on her flaws in series 8 there were still complaints? It's like people didn't know what they wanted. Clara was flawed in series 7, but that was only her first season so they were just kind of introducing us to her.. then during series 8, her second season, we saw her character be explored in a lot more depth. In all her seasons she was written well and was a 3 dimensional character, but as each season went on, her character was explored in more detail. Maybe that's why most people see her as bland in season 7. But when you're making a new friend, you don't know everything about them straight away, do you? You get to know them gradually, until eventually you've created some history between yourselves. It makes sense to introduce characters with the way clara was introduced. For them to be built on gradually, for us to see their character come together piece by piece.
Clara is my favourite companion. She is the second half of the Doctor. So alike and yet able to balance each other. There friendship was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Thank you for this video, it was amazing. (Also I think it would have been cool to add that part where she's wiping the chalkboard and it says, "you are dying!". I think it would have fitted in perfectly)
I for one believe that we could very well see Clara again. She did jump into the Doctor's Essence so she will pop up throughout the ENTIRE lifespan of the doctor. 😉
My Favorite companion too! Hope the twelfth doctor will remember you on Christmas 2017!! And THANK YOU for all these wonderful moments with the 11th and the 12th doctors!!!
Call it a Mandela Effect, but I could swear that Jack Harkness once spoke about having visited an American Diner in space? I think we'll see "Clara and Me" (NOT Marley and Me, bad joke I know...) again in the future with Jack for a bit of a TARDIS X DINER cross-over crisis, maybe with Doctor #14 and a fully revived Donna Noble? A bad boy in blue can dream a little, can't he? (But not too much, god knows we haven't seen the last of The Dream Lord either!)
It's when a large group of people remember something a certain way, but when you look back at the evidnce/source it's actually different. Popular example: "Luke, I'm your father." Darth Vader never said that. He said "No, I'm your father." But everyone quotes it as "Luke".
InfamousSamurai - Roblox! Some idiots think that it's caused by changing what dimension you're in(which is incredibly stupid), but actually people are just more alike than they think and a ton of people just remember something wrong in the same way.
Clara was ripped out of time in the last moment. The same happened with Captain Jack Harkness but was saved by Rose Tyler who was superpowered by looking into the Tardis' core time vortex. If Rose can turn Jack to be immortal, the same can be said with Clara's dying being nullified by the time vortex as she's unstuck in time just like Jack. Also that last moment before she died, a quantum duplicate can be created and replaced in her position. That duplicate can be manifested into life just like Arya was given a piece of the Doctor to become the Hybrid. The original Clara still dies but a duplicate of her that had an essence of the Doctor can exist after the Raven had already killed Clara. Just like the Testimony project, instead of a glass simulagent, an altered temporal/quantum copy with her memories exists. So the timeline is still preserved just that there's another copy of Clara is running away from Gallifrey.
Clara had such a strong mind and will that she refused to be a DALEK. She was totally committed to the idea that she was making souffles every day. The Doctor had to convince her that she was a DALEK. Even then she showed mercy on him and allowed him to go. I wish The Doctor hadn't hated her so much when he told her.
This is such an amazing tribute to my all-time favourite companion Clara Oswald , she was so amazing and also Jenna Coleman is such a fenominal actress that when I am watching her act I forget that she isn't that character and she is Jenna !
When Clara asked the "crack" to help the Doctor and he regenerated. That was a start of new regeneration cycle. Does that mean he gets 12 new regenerations?
