I actually don't think that there will end up being a linear sequence to her. Her incarnations have been so isolated, except to the Doctor. I feel time-breaking shenanigans on the way. The two special abilities that she'd shown really strike me as significant. Oooh. Perhaps she's got a little piece of the Intelligence in her. At least it explains why Victoria.--[[User:ComicBookGoddess|ComicBookGoddess]] [[User talk:ComicBookGoddess|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:53, April 3, 2013 (UTC) | I actually don't think that there will end up being a linear sequence to her.

Clara could well have got the phrase from Angie Maitland, rather than inventing it herself. (I'd not spotted the significance of the cut.) If so, that strengthens the case for Modern Clara being the original, because the phrase is then like the computer skills -- something that was '''given to Modern Clara'''. | |||
She might not have registered the "Oswin" consciously, when the Doctor said it. Her behaviour when she made up the username suggests she didn't. That same behaviour also suggests it '''had''' stayed with her, rather like a subliminal suggestion. Even if she really did make it up, though, & it wasn't prompted (even subconsciously) by the Doctor having said it, "Oswin" is still something that was new to Modern Clara, again like the computer skills. | |||
If the Daleks had preferred the username, that ought to have made her hang on to Clara as part of her human identity. She hung on very tenaciously to all kinds of other things (soufflé-making, for example) to retain her human identity & names are '''important'''. In any case, the Daleks would have been more likely to prefer no name at all. We've only ever encountered 4 Daleks who had names: the Cult of Skaro. | |||
"I actually don't think that there will end up being a linear sequence to her." I did say the sequence was only a guess. We certainly don't have enough to go on to decide with any confidence whether or not there's a linear sequence or, if there is, what that sequence is. | |||
We don't even know if there are more incarnations of Clara that we (& the Doctor) have yet to encounter. It's by no means impossible (especially with Moffat in charge) that, after travelling with Modern Clara for a while, the Doctor might run across a fourth Clara -- one who doesn't yet know him. I'm sure Moffat & company would have fun with that situation. | |||
"Perhaps she's got a little piece of the Intelligence in her." Possible. It's also possible that we'll find the situation with Clara/the GI to be similar to the situation with Ace/Fenric -- an old enemy of the Doctor trying to plant a companion on him in order to use that companion (without her knowledge or consent) against him. | |||
"At least it explains why Victoria." It looks as if part of that sentence is missing. At any rate, I don't know what you meant by it, so please clarify. --[[Special:Contributions/2.101.51.235|2.101.51.235]]<sup>[[User talk:2.101.51.235#top|talk to me]]</sup> 00:36, April 4, 2013 (UTC) | |||
