Imagine a fan somehow travelled into the Who-niverse and got a role as a character, sooking up to try and be a companion - or what they say here at Petronella Osgood | Tardis | Fandom 
Basically, she’s a “take that” to all of the fangirls David Tennant and Matt Smith brought to the franchise.
I don’t consider her to be much of a “Take that!”, mostly because she’s a quite likable, smart, and overall positive character. I felt the same way about Elton and the members of LInDA (whatever you may think of the episode). if you want a real “Take that!” character, check out Becky the Superfan from Supernatural.
Sorry to double post, but I didn’t think to ask this earlier - in her “I’m the Doctor” lie, Clara states, “I’ve been married four times, all deceased.” I count three: his wife on Gallifrey pre series, River Song, and Queen Elizabeth. Who am I missing?
Apparently at some point he was briefly married to Marilyn Munroe.
Christmas well episode, night before Christmas type, they’re is talk of him marrying Marylin when he took the scrooge guy and the cute girl out every Christmas Eve. S5, just watched it the other day. But BF and I had that discussion after watching The Doctor’s Wife last night. Wasn’t that referring to the TARDIS? So is she (the TARDIS) considered his wife also?
Also Idris, The Doctor’s Wife, deceased.
I thought he was only engaged to Marylin. I might be wrong, though, it’s been a while since I’ve seen that one. And though the episode was called “The Doctor’s Wife,” at no point in the episode did he marry the TARDIS/Idris, so I don’t think that counts.
The “take that!” is the part where they kill her off, not the character. I think telling Clara “STFU he was never your boyfriend” on the first episode was basically the same thing also.
Ahh. I should’ve guessed there would be a Dr Who Wiki. Thanks!

I like that in the little quick info box, they include the following very helpful information:
Oh, please, oh yes, oh please please please, Santa I promise I’ll be good please I want this so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o bad!!!
Canonically - and iconically - not true:
[Quote=The Brigadier in The Daemons]
Sergeant, chap with the wings - five rounds, rapid fire!

His sidekick should be the good Dalek from the beginning of the season.
It was explained, though. Missy has changed the way the Cybermen are created. They don’t rely on the inhibitor to suppress human emotions anymore. Rather, they’re tricked into deleting their emotions in the elaborate “heaven” scam. Danny never agreed to the deletion, though - his mind was downloaded back into his new Cyber body intact. Presumably, the Brigadier likewise declined, possibly because he’d been around the Doctor long enough to spot that something fishy was going on with the whole “afterlife” deal. Which is pretty impressive, given that the persuasion largely involves torturing the person until they sign.
Clara does eventually activate Danny’s inhibitor, and he still doesn’t turn into a killing machine. But it was established back in the season 2 finale that a sufficiently strong will can override the inhibitor, when the director of Torchwood’s intense loyalty to the UK allowed her to turn on her fellow Cybermen. Presumably, Danny loves Clara at least as much as Ms. Hartman loved England.
On a side note, I get a lot of fund raising spam from the Democratic party. A lot of it comes from someone named Missy Kurek. Ever since last week’s episode, every time I see an email from her, I picture Michelle Gomez acting like a lunatic.
I know, I was just making a joke.
On a side note, multi-quote is on, but the second quote didn’t show when I hit reply.
That’s not really it but rather what they lead any visitors to believe. The real explanation has got to involve where the minds are stored. Think “triple-W”.
The world wide web is made of people!?!!?
I’m still not sure what to make of “the three words” plot point. Is it a call-back to the Great Intelligence’s evil plan in The Bells of Saint John? The Mistress ripped off the GI? Dunno…
