This series is about compassion and helping people. It is about the fact that helping a stranger IS a risky thing to do. It can go wrong. Sometimes terribly wrong. Sometimes you save a girl from a Viking Village and Clara ends up dead.
Ahh, thanks for this. It's really interesting. I'm enjoying this year (mostly, so far!) but not the way I did last year, but it's so cool to see you draw out a theme, which I couldn't see until you did that. Last year it was so much about the monstrous and the unknown turning out not to be as bad as you feared (and this unknown Doctor still turning out to be the Doctor) (with Listen as the epitome of that), all sandwiched in between two macabre things about robots wearing the skins of dead humans and dead humans wearing robot casings (but again, love more powerful than fear or death). And whatever anybody else thought, I loved that so much, even in the weaker eps.
But this is interesting & I think you're right about the overall theme & that's great. :-)
