3. Saves Clara At His Own Expense
Humans. I never thought Id get done saving you. Even though this is pretty standard, think about it. Clara was born to save the Doctor. She believes (and probably is true) that it is why she was put on the Earth. Shes saved him countless times, we honestly have no idea how many times; the possibilities are endless since she stepped through his time stream. I think letting the Doctor die for her would really kill what she believes she is. So if the Doctor and Clara in the middle of whatever battle theyre in, and he sees that shes about to be hit and jumps in front of her, shes going to have a conniption. Shes definitely going to be worse than Rose, because shes going know whats going on, and feel like its her fault. It would be interesting to have a few episodes, where, like Ten and Rose, Clara has to warm up to this Doctor, and he has to prove to her that he doesnt blame her for not being able to save him every time. This could upset fans, because it will make Clara different again. But for my money, the best companions are the ones that change over time. Clara has been headstrong and independent and exactly what the Doctor needed after the loss of the Ponds. Shes the Doctors Impossible Girl, the Girl Who Saves the Doctor. But maybe now she needs to step down, and lean on the Doctor a bit. It would be interesting to have a regeneration that affects the companion more than the Doctor, and had that shown. Have we really had that since Rose? And even then, it was one episode. Im saying that this regeneration shows Clara that shes not immortal, and neither is the Doctor.
