Ashildr has too much power, unrealistically. And she's also the head of an ALIEN refugee camp? Eh no.
It's unrealistic she'd have this ability and technologies and connections. She hardly did anything of note from the 1100s to the 1800s then suddenly she has all this power and influence. No. I really don't like this character.
Even after she turned more "good" i still thought Ashildr was unstable, and it's proven true in this episode, with her total dominance on the hidden streets and abilities and the dangerous alliance with all the various aliens, with some rubbish about them being refugee's from the doctor. And killing people if they step even a little out of line or commit non-violent crimes. And then her betrayal of the doctor.
Ugh.
The doctor even seems fine with her being so authoritarian in the street and her brutal justice. No.
The shade power is overpowered. Then it's convienient it can be transferred but only once and then when it's transferred it can't be taken off.
So Clara dies due to a dumb mistake by not getting the full information and taking on the countdown. She died due to too much ego and too much compassion. Sounds a bit like the doctor.
I like the doctor threatening Ashildr.
I do still kinda like Clara, but it's the right time for her to go. We should have gotten better dialogue in their final conversation. It's not bad though.
I'll admit, i got a little emotional watching a companion die. And the doctor saw it. I got emotional with the doctors constrained anger.
But yeah i mean, this was a major companion dying. We've never seen it happen, or at least for it to be in such a direct way.
