OK, the last scene really was great. And Clara had that one great "CMoA" scene.
I think I'm just happy we reached the end of this season, though. The plots of this season were actually pretty good, but the characters seemed to alternate between annoying and bland. Capaldi is a fine actor, but doesn't have the natural comic timing for the role, which they've written as either a grump or a brat. Clara's character has been getting less and less interesting -- I think she was at her most interesting as souffle girl Oswin, and has fizzled dramatically since Trensilore. Mr Pink is pretty cool, though. With the exception of the Missy teasers which always seemed tacked-on rather than mysterious a la "bad wolf", the plots have been, by and large, really interesting this year. Which is what makes it frustrating as I think I care about the characters less than any other show that I'm currently watching.
I'm getting more tempted to dust off that fanfic idea I had, substituting Clara for one Aino Minako. Because Sailor V has got personality in spades. And the whole dying in a futile effort to save your homeworld? She remembers.
Incidentally, this season seemed to provide a good fic-splantion for why the Moon is so powerful -- and why Chibimoon exists independently. (/hijack)
