that was a great line, so Doctor-ish and also so much what I was thinking before he said it! Yes! It also reminded me very much of Peter Capaldi's character from The Thick of It, which made it even funnier. I really enjoyed the amiable mocking of the superhero genre--especially the classic DC superheros with their secret identities and their female reporter crushes. I've always had a hard time taking them seriously.
I just love Twelve and Clara's friendship Me, too. I love how equal-footed they are, and how similar they are, despite one being a Time Lord and the other being human. It's a dynamic I haven't seen quite like that on Doctor Who yet, but it's great. ... I suppose Ace and Seven were a bit like that, except it was the 80s, so Seven was still more authoritarian. Oh, and Sarah Jane was a bit like that, too, I think. I haven't seen much of Four.
I miss being fannish about the show Who was your Doctor, then? Were you into it back during the times of Old Who, or did you come on board with New Who? I was so into the show between ~2007 and 2010, but lost my fannish obsession when RTD left, because I've always very much disliked Moffat's writing. I did watch season 5 and half of 6, but Moffat did everything I thought he was going to do, so I quit watching. Capaldi's now brought me back into it. :D
