We are in the 8th anniversary of the Doctor Who episode Hell Bent. I hope to eventually write about Heaven Sent and Hell Bent together and really go into the themes of the Doctor/Clara arc. However, right now, I want to talk about certain scenes within Hell Bent that I love. These scenes really stand out to me, personally, and I want to make a post about each of them.
The first scene that I want to discuss is the Extraction Chamber scene. The Twelfth Doctor uses the extraction chamber to pull Clara to Gallifrey a second before her death. He does this under the guise of needing information for the Hybrid. Clara is very confused when she comes through the chamber door, and she starts to notice something very funny about her hearing. The General pushes Twelve to tell Clara what is happening, and Twelve eventually tells Clara that she's not hearing her heartbeat anymore. The General proceeds to tell Clara that her death is a fixed point in Time, and therefore, it can't be changed. You can start to see the anger in Twelve starting to boil over as the General is speaking to Clara. He then punches the General and takes his gun. Twelve stares down the General and declares:
"I will not let Clara die."
Clara slowly approaches him, because she can see that he's on the edge. She takes his hand and tells him that she doesn't want this from him. However, he's not listening to her. He has such a look of anger and determination on his face as he stares at the General.
