::::Because this is Doctor Who, things get pretty weird. At the end of the story Clara is ''still dead''. Her death is a historical fact. She has been killed by the Raven and that cannot be undone. The Clara that flies away with Me in a Nevada diner lives within the nanosecond before her death. History hasn't been changed (we might ask why the Doctor didn't try to change the events that lead to her death).

I don't know how much of the Doctor's past is explored other than bits and bobs in recent years, but I thought the Doctor was born an ordinary, lowly Gallifreyan before he attended the Academy and became a Time Lord. I didn't think he had any "royal blood" in him whatsoever. | ||
