"I thought it was one of the best in a mighty good series. Clara's death worked in the sense that it follows logically on from character traits that the show has been building up for at least two seasons (I felt that Series 7B Clara never got much of a character). It works dramatically. But I'm still not sure it's fully earned. They didn't even seem to try. My wife said, \"Put her in the stasis tube!\" And why not? The Doctor has certainly got out of worse situations before. The raven isn't magic, even if they do seem to be in Diagon Alley. It's some sort of intelligent alien technology. There must be some way to block it.\n\nI guess this is a problem with all of the big \"doomsday\" moments. That quibble aside, I hope they don't cheat Clara out of a dramatically good ending by bringing her back to life yet again.\n\nThe finale looks good too, looking forward to it.\n\n(I guess poor Rigsy got stuck bringing Clara back to her family with some kind of cover story. Or maybe just the cover story? Grim.)"
