Just watched Clara's first scene (spoilers)

So wait, the Doctor condoning the use of a memory-erasing worm is upsetting people... someone touching a worm has everyone upset?

"Everyone?" So far, exactly one person in this thread has found it upsetting.

And they were probably drunk.

To be fair, somebody at Gallifreybase made a similar comment. I suppose they could be the same person, but, if not, that's a least two we know of. But, yeahm, c'mon let's be real here. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

I'm wondering how long it is in the Doctor's personal time since Asylum of the Daleks, and how long it's going to take him to realise that somehow Clara and Oswin are connected. I'm still tipping that the way he'll work it out is that she'll somehow say something about Souffles.

The thing is though he never actually saw Oswin's human face did he?

Nope, she was fully converted by the time he got there. He just heard her say her name.

Why do I think Oswin getting hit with a memory wipe when she leaves the Doc is going to loop back around to set her up for Asylum of the Daleks?

I doubt the Doctor's interest in memory wipes here will continue to be a part of his character. I think, as I said, it's meant to show that he's gone to a darker place, a place that Clara will help bring him out of.

And this isn't Oswin Oswald, it's Clara Oswin. We don't yet know how the two characters are connected.

Well beyond being the same hot girl? LOL

Although I didn't realize her last name is Oswin - they must be setting something up, honestly Moffat's who isn't that subtle, so either Clara gets left sometime in the past and forgets who she is, someone named Oswald is in the room and she's told "Her name's Oswin, Oswald." "Yes that's it, my name is Oswin Oswald."
