Has this ever been resolved? When Clara first meets Matt Smith's doctor she's stranded on a ship. The impossible girl. Then we see her in victorian england, and now she is just some regular joe schmoe. Has this ever been explained?
The Origin of Clara
- Thread starter Capt. Ben Sisko
- Start date
Yea, in Series 7 Finale, when the Impossible Girl is explained.
OK, thanks. I got that. For some reason I thought in her original appearance, as Oswin, that was never explained. But I forgot about the Dalek angle.
So what about this?
Oswin Oswald is introduced in Episode 1 of Series 7, "Asylum of the Daleks". She is the sole survivor of the Starship Alaska, which crashed on the Asylum, a prison planet for insane Daleks. Oswin then learns from the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) that she has been converted from human into a Dalek and has coped by retreating into a fantasy of her own survival. She assists the Doctor and his travelling companions, Amy Pond and Rory Williams, to escape the planet unharmed, but at the cost of her own life.[1]
Yeah, she's a Dalek in that particular episode, but that doesn't have anything to do with Clara's origins. That's just one of any number of Claras that ended up spread across the Doctor's timeline. For all we know there are a bunch Claras out there that have been converted to Daleks or Cybermen or whatever.
The Dalek's themselves had nothing to do with her origin is I think the point being made. That they were involved in the actions of one of her echo selves is neither here nor there.
Besides, it was firmly established that her origin story was simply "a leaf hit a bloke in the face."

The leaf was clearly planted by the Master and the Rani who were working in concert with Missy, Gus, and a strange alliance of Daleks, Cybermen and Judoon.
Holy shit, did I just figure out how the season will end?

From Clara's echo point of view, this episode happens after the story, Name of The Doctor, same with the Victorian version (Although the 'real' Clara returns to that era in The Crimson Horror and Time Of The Doctor).
In "Name" we see Clara jump into the Doctor's timestream, where she helps various incarnations of the Doctor (using footage from throughout the classic series) after the villain Great Intelligence jumps in to screw him up.
A similar concept is used in the Tom Baker episode "City of Death", where an alien in splintered throughout time becomes different individuals in different centuries.
Also regarding the POV thing the new series has done this before, in season 3, where the Master (as Mr. Saxon) is manipulating the Doctor and Martha, but the events leading to that from the Doctor's POV happen toward the end of the season.
