Doctor Who: 10 Things We Learned From Into The Dalek
6. Clara Still Doesn't Know Who The Doctor Is
Mixing the recurring plot devices of the Doctor turning up late to see his Companions and Clara only travelling with the Doctor occasionally, Into The Dalek picks up where Deep Breath left off with the Doctor fetching coffee (Looks like he is the fetching sort after all). Just three weeks later and several hundred miles away. This carries on the tradition of a new Doctor and Companion teams first two adventures happening in sequence, allowing the audience to gradually gauge the new character dynamic and let it grow at its own pace rather than the Doctor and Companion suddenly being best pals from all their offscreen adventures together. It also lets a minor story arc continue as Clara is no more the wiser about what the Twelfth Doctor is like since we last saw her. Which makes this episode almost as much a journey for Clara as for the Doctor. Shes seeing the fully Regenerated Doctor in action for the first time and has to come to terms with how he does things, and how different he is to her Doctor for the first time. And its a story thats still progressing since Claras still unsure about whether or not he is a good man after their adventure inside Rusty.
