Will Clara die, yes or no?
- Thread starter Mage
- Start date
Combined with all the unsubtle reminders that she is mortal we've been getting this year, as well as the season's contemplations on death in general and some spoilers I know regarding the last three episodes of the season, I'd say yes she is going to die.
Now whether or not she stays dead is another matter. Moffat typically avoids permanent death outside of old age or historical fact, and the fact Jenna Coleman is leaving the show doesn't really mean anything (Jenny of the Paternoster Gang was killed and resurrected in her penultimate appearance on the show, for example). Although, I guess even if Clara does stay permanently dead, she can always live on as the Clara splinters.

That's exactly it. He can have his cake and eat it. And Set Photos from the only bit of Episode 12 that took place in public do seem to feature one of them.
So the Poll probably needs a third option "Yes but..."
I have an icky feeling that she will follow in the footsteps of her past selves.
But I hope she doesn't.

I agree. I don't think she'll die. I don't think Ashildr is there to kill her. In fact, Ashildr is probably watching to help out. I don't think she's the War Minister either. It all seems to be too obvious. But, who knows.
Mr Awe
She's already dead and the Doctor this season is trying to prevent her eventual demise.
I think she'll die and the Doctor will for a while be "hell bent" either on payback or on a course of action that would end with her death being reversed/deleted.
Of course she'll die.
But it won't happen until after her last adventure with the Doctor, the conclusion of which finds her stranded in the 19th century in Hill Valley, California and with no way of reaching the Doctor. With little other choice, Clara finds a job as a teacher and tries to make the best of her situation.
Sadly, after a couple of years, she'll have the misfortune of getting killed when her horse carriage goes nuts and throws her down into a deep ravine.

And then she gets saved by a dashing time traveler who takes her on adventures through time and space? Well, mostly time, but in a steam powered train?
The hints were anvils at first. Now they're nuclear bombs.
She's going to die. I love her, so I don't want to see it, but it's going to happen. We'll always have the potential of her time splinters, but it won't be the same.

Yeah, but remember River? There was no way she was Rory and Amy's daughter because that was too obvious. And then she was.
There was no way that the Big Ultimate Question was Doctor Who, but then it was.
Remember when there was no mystery at all about who Missy was?
I personally, and I assume many other fans, have called Moffatt's story developments every time, by the simple fact of saying, oh, that's too obvious.
I'd like a third option on this poll: PLEASE.
I don't particularly care for Clara, and I was kind of hoping she would go and we would keep Mr. Pink. But more to the point, my daughter, who has been a fan since the start with the 9th Doctor, HATES Clara and has more or less stopped watching because of her (and, to a lesser extent, the "sonic sunglasses" or whatever they are.)
I think if they killed off Clara and brought in a new companion, she would probably instantly love them just for them NOT being Clara!

This is a very valid point. I think he can be clever, and I think he can take us on interesting journeys, but the end of the journey is always pretty obvious.
I'm kind of hoping she does die. She doesn't have much personality and and considering how long it's been without someone really close to The Doctor gettingactually killed, I'd say it's well past time.
