Howling:Clara's Grandmother (Christmas)
So, Clara's grandmother will be played by Sheila Reid, better known as Madge Harvey from Benidorm. Why do I hope she gets into a sunscreen fight with the Silence/Silents? On another note, who's this Tasha Lem that Orla Brady is playing? 98.180.53.144talk to me 17:38, December 19, 2013 (UTC)
Looks like there was no sunscreen fight with Silents. :) 87.102.91.126talk to me 22:43, December 25, 2013 (UTC)
No, there was no sunscreen fight. But Tasha Lem can fly the Tardis: "Flying the Tardis was always easy." So, she's done that before. So, I have to ask: is Tasha Lem also River Song? Her flirtation with the doctor and her ability to fly the Tardis point in that direction. Dalekized Lem mentions that Kovarian's faction "engineered a psychopath to kill you," only moments before the Doctor tells Lem to fight the Dalek implants in the same way that "You have been fighting the psychopath inside you all your life." Two uses of the word "psychopath" in the same scene seems a little too much to be a coincidence. The intervening conversation about River takes on a whole new depth of flirtatiousness if viewed from the perspective that Lem is Song. Also, "Lem" is "Mel" (as in "Melody") backwards; "Tasha" is short for Natasha from Natalia, as in the Latin dies Natalis Christi = Christmas. 68.10.6.202talk to me 04:03, December 27, 2013 (UTC) (formerly 98.180.53.144, but on vacation)
I hope Tasha Lem isn't also River Song. It would be hard to get around the fact that both characters have died if they are the same person. 87.102.91.126talk to me 23:20, December 27, 2013 (UTC)
I kind of wonder about that yellow thing that the Doctor ordered Clara to plug into the screwdriver interface of the Tardis console. Did it just send Clara home? Could it also have been a memory stick with Song/Lem's personality embedded onto it, much as he used a sonic screwdriver to preserve her in the Library? Maybe he saved a copy of Song/Lem into the Tardis before the Dalek attack. (Come to think about it, that would help explain Lem's non-aging as well: if she's just a computer's self-image, she wouldn't age, just as the people trapped in the Library didn't age.) 68.10.6.202talk to me 03:26, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
