"That actually is <i>exactly</i> what Nine did for Rose. She was marked for death, and he took that death, and then escaped it via regeneration.\n\nAnd the way in which Clara faced the raven, standing tall, arms spread, is the way in which the Doctor has stood, going into regeneration. For a minute, I thought she <i>would</i> regenerate.\n\nWhy not?\n\nLet her ongoing transformation into the Doctor be complete. Let it be a side effect of walking into the Doctor's time stream, or being caught in the edge of the regeneration energy the Time Lords sent the Doctor.\n\nBut then she dies.\n\nAnd it is not because she chose death, but because she'd rather risk death herself than leave someone she feels responsible for at risk."
