"The raven's first victim ran, in the vain hope of avoiding death. One of the characters asks himself why do they always run? Depending on how you read that, it's either a comment on the futility of avoiding death, or just possibly an escape clause for Clara who accepted her fate in the end.\n\n(If you really want escape clauses, the telepathic street lamp worm things also distort perception. If you want something completely gonzo, she's been made into a Dalek, unable to speak, and it's so horrific that everyone else perceives it as death by raven. Add a dose of retcon and a teleport and she's Oswin Oswald and the time loop is complete. I also know this is full of holes. ..)\n\nIn the context of the episode I think the raven made sufficient narrative sense.\n\nOddly enough, she referred to Danny Pink using his full name. When talking to the Doctor, it seemed odd that she would do that.\n\nDid anyone else pick up on the Zygon comments? After painting the Zygons as other/refugees it was interesting to find out they might be hostile to the Street. I wonder what the Osgoods would think of all this?"
