Headcanon:
Clara’s mom died the day “Rose” first aired, yes?
And what else happened that day? These assholes right here.
So it’d be quite possible that Clara and her dad died nearly died in the attack. Which means just like Clara did for him, the Doctor was saving her before either of them knew it.
This is pretty much my headcanon
I’m always all right.
This moment right here is what, more than anything, made me love Donna Noble. I mean, I love her sass and her personality and that she calls the Doctor on his shit, but this moment was so SO powerful to me. Because he used this line on Rose and Martha and they both accepted it. But Donna freaking Noble sees through that “I’m always all right” lie in an instant, and isn’t afraid to say “it’s okay to not be fine, in fact, I’d rather prefer it because that way we can be not fine together because that’s what friends do.”
