    Clara is finally a regular companion! Back in 2012 Jenna Coleman was announced as a new companion who would be joining partway through Series 7 before the first episode aired. Having her turn up (and her character die) in Asylum of the Daleks was a big surprise.

    Doctor Who is one of the few shows that has such a huge need for actors with essentially a new supporting cast every episode or so. So we see either up and coming actors cutting their teeth like Andrew Garfield or Carey Mulligan, or absolute household names like Celia Imrie and Richard E Grant (Michael Gambon, Sir Ian McKellan, Sir Derek Jacobi, Kylie Minogue et al) brought in for their ability and reputation.

    The symbols in the TARDIS are in the Doctor's own language, in Gallifreyan. The circular blocking nature of it was developed in the expanded universe and is now canonized in the main show. Something else from expanded WHOniverse is that the Nestene and the Great Intelligence both come from the same place and are part of a group called The Great Old Ones who come from a universe before ours. It is very Lovecraftian and in the weeds and you don't need to believe it or know it to continue on, but it is an interesting side note.
    Mentioning cameos, Ryan Gosling LOVES Doctor WHO and I would love to see him play a villain or something one day, and I'm sure he would too.

    The line at the end where the Great Intelligence acknowledges that UNIT are very old friends of the Doctor is some meta stuff. The Web of Fear, a Second Doctor story that saw him taking on The Great Intelligence for a second time in the London underground, also saw the introduction of one Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart. The Colonel's experience during that story led to him recommending the United Nations form a task force to deal with extra-terrestrial threats. The Colonel would be promoted to Brigadier, and that task force would be named UNIT, meaning the Great Intelligence is responsible for the formation of its own enemy.
    I cannot deny it took me a while to work out the meaning behind the title after watching the episode, before realizing it was referring to the phone ringing being the door with the St John's ambulance sticker. :P And did anyone else get Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home vibes from the Doctor when he said, "I'm not from the future, I just work there?"

      In traditional British upper class society, children were brought up by nannies. They were in charge and played the roles of mothers, feeding, cleaning, putting to bed, etc.
      Around the age of 8, boys were sent to boarding school, and girls would have a governess.
      A governess was responsible for the children but was not responsible for feeding or bathing, etc. Their primary role was to provide private tuition for girls.
      An au pair is different from a governesses in that they live and carry out work in the families house. They may even eat with the family or attend social events.
      Governess work was restricted to the school room (a room would have originally served as the nursery). They do not have the same flexibility as an au pair does.

    The reason it feels like the beginning of a new season to y'all is because season 7 was split into two halves that aired a year apart, the same way two different seasons would have. I dont remember why but something slowed or delayed the production of the show so they had to put off the back half of Season 7 instead of airing it all at once like normal. That's why we just had a Christmas episode in the middle of the season.
    You just have to take it with a grain of salt; it is a sudden shift, but when it's all said and done and you consider Clara was in 7x0, it all feels like a pretty cohesive season in the end. Plus, all the specials that come between S7 and S8 make this stretch starting with Clara feel like most of a whole season, with the earlier episodes just sort of being a quick way to close out Amy and Rory's story, almost like an epilogue to Season 6, instead of having them a whole nother season to wrap up.

    15:23 The perception filter alters people’s perception of the TARDIS causing them disregard it as of no importance but it doesn’t make it immune to cameras or invisible. Due to the perception filter most people would say to themselves “That’s a weird box.” but then they’d move on rather than investigate it. Also, we’ve seen the TARDIS on a live camera feed before and I want to think have seen photos of it before as well. Another thing is that the perception filter is limited in effect such as people will take notice of it if it blocks their path, if someone aware of it points it out, or if materializes out of thin air in front of them as it did in this episode here as that’s very eye catching.

Nobody else matches the Doctors freak like Clara, she made fun of the Tardis calling it a snog box and then immediately agrees to travel in the box. She’s DOWN for the adventure in a way that even Amy wasn’t. This half of season 7 is a bit strange but the vibes will even out soon I promise. Only complaint for me was that moment of Smith rubbing her head when she was passed out at the cafe. 11 is a little too touchy with Clara for me 😅

    The Great Intelligence is actually a Classic Who adversary that Moffatt brought back and updated. It appeared twice during the 2nd Doctor’s (Patrick Troughton) era, and had robotic yeti as its physical servants instead of snowmen.
    In fact, in the Xmas special when the Doctor presents the biscuit tin with the London Underground map on it and says it is a “…key strategic weakness in metropolitan living.” its refers to and possibly sets in motion the events of the 2nd Doctor story The Web of Fear.

    The Nestenes and the GI are two separate entities.

In expanded lore (so not a spoiler in any way), they are both avatars of the same being: Yog-Sothoth, from Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.

    I think part of the reason the companions are women (more frequently) now is that men are cast in the majority of parts in general, despite more women existing, but having female companions (when there's a male Doctor) at least gives a little bit of parity. At least this is part of the reason I think they should keep doing it. Originally, though, it was for eye candy for the "dads" watching (this was stated by people running the show).

      I believe it telepathically works on minds. So when you look at it you think "odd phone box, not my problem" and go away. When you look at a picture or camera feed you aren't interacting with the field and can think that's a picture of a TARDIS. It also explains why it doesn't work on people with psychic powers or actively looking for it as it is their problem or they have defences against the field.
