Re: Stuff you're pissed off about in current canon

[(Anonymous)]

I still don't get what's been stopping the Doctor from telling Clara about her death problem and trying to solve it together with her. Didn't he already learn way, way back with Ace that keeping the companion in the dark while you analyze her and secretly pull strings is a boneheaded move? If Clara ends up getting psychologically wounded or accidentally giving some villain the key to the destruction of the world because of her ignorance, I'm gonna have a lot less patience with the Doctor now than I did when he was Seven.

Fucking arrrggghhh.

Pfft, but that wouldn't be ~mysterious~ and ~clever~!

And that's another thing -- it's not mysterious or clever. It's incredibly transparent that he's up to some kind of shenanigans and I honestly do not understand how Clara is not going "WTF IS GOING ON????" especially after seeing the picture of herself in Victorian London at the end of The Crimson Horror.

And what was with her weird laid-back reaction to her multi-deaths and the news that both she and the Doctor were going to forget everything at the end of Journey? She was more interested in remembering the Doctor's name than the fact that there's something crazy-wrong with her? It makes her not even seem like a real person.

Sadly, I think that your last line there hit the nail on the head.

Clara's main job on this show is to be pretty, sass the Doctor, and stare wide eyed into the camera for a reaction shot every now and again. She doesn't react realistically because she's not realistic. She's a plot device in the form of sex appeal.

She doesn't drive the plot as a character, she's just along for the ride. Her having independent thought about the situation would mean developing her, which means less time for her to sass the Doctor and look pretty!

Yeah. :( And it's actually a real shame, because I like the little we have seen of her personality. But her personality only seems to have any actual presence/acknowledgment in the two Neil Cross episodes, so it seems like more a Neil Cross-specific thing than a character arc that Moffat actually planned out and told the writing team to develop.

It really is! In the end though, Moffat is much more interested in ~mystery~ rather than world and character building, and that as a whole is why Doctor Who has suffered imo. You can't hold a story together with nothing but a mystery.
