(with thanks to Penny Goodman)
Moffat-Era
Tropes: Timey-Wimey. Businesswomen named Miss or Madame
Something-or-Other with fetishistically severe suits, hairstyles and
eyewear. Monster that looks fierce but actually wants to be loved.
Creatures or accessories which induce memory loss. “Don't Think”.
One-off character sacrificing themselves to save the Doctor or
companion despite only having met them a few hours earlier. People
gabbling out explanations at top speed.
A
Thing in a Thing: A monster in a bank vault.
 |
| Some call him a butcher. |
The
Doctor is A: ...n Architect. Also, overbearing, manipulative,
likes to think he's very clever, and hates himself.
The
Master Is A: Woman in a shop, who has the Doctor's private phone
number.
Clara
Lies About: Not directly, but Psi does note that she's good at
making excuses for the Doctor's behaviour. And she keeps her mind
blank so the Teller doesn't detect her guilt, which is a sort of lie.
Reasons
Clara Should Drop Danny Like A Hot Potato: Because he's
angling for another date, apparently completely oblivious to the fact
that he acted like an idiot on the first one.
Child
Count: One.
The
Thick of It: "Shuttity up, up, UP!"
It's
Actually About:
Atoning
for past misdeeds, I suppose, though in this case it's actually
getting someone else to do the actual work of atoning for it.
