Talk:Clara Oswald

Lis Sladen Tribute?
Is there a source for Clara being named after Lis? Has Moffat or anyone in the cast/crew said so in an interview recently? I know a lot of people were speculating it after her name was leaked, but I haven't heard any confirmation about it. 75.141.226.87talk to me 05:37, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

Speculation: Clara and Oswin
At this point it's only speculation that Clara Oswin Oswald and Oswin Oswald are the same person. In a show where we have gangers, meta-crises, identical relatives, etc, Clara and Oswin being the same person is one possibility. I think there should be a separate page for Clara Oswin Oswald until and unless it's proven that Clara and Oswin are the same person and not, for example, twins or triplets or gangers or what have you. 75.141.226.87talk to me 18:49, December 25, 2012 (UTC) It is clearly stated in the episode "The snowmen" that her name is Clara Oswin Oswald and she is the woman who has died twice.
 * That's The Doctor's theory, not a fact. He's been incorrect in his theories and assumptions plenty of times before. 75.141.226.87talk to me 20:07, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed with above, they are the same person and should be treated as one person until proven otherwise.


 * Clearly they are closely related - the souffles, the same dialogue. Until we know how the three are related, I think it better to have one page for them all. -- Beardouk ☎  06:28, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

Human or Dalek?
Which species should be entered into the info box? Although she is a Dalek during the course of the episode, she was not only originally human, but this is how she describes herself, even AFTER the Doctor reveals the truth to her.Geek Mythology ☎  22:23, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Whenever you have a character who "converts" to another species, the infobox species variable should be set to the original species.   23:17: Sat 01 Sep 2012

Behind the scenes?
Should there be a behind the scenes section referencing the fact Coleman is playing the new companion and that the episode was designed to spark debate over whether Oswin Oswald is that new companion? Of course once the Christmas special airs this article will undoubtedly be updated, but it's a long time till then. 70.72.211.35talk to me 16:28, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, since it hasn't happened yet, any mention of the next companion is against the spoiler policy, so no, not yet. Shambala108 ☎  16:38, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Jenna was featured in the televised preview clip for the 2012 Christmas Special which aired after The Angels Take Manhattan, so is her reappearance still considered a spoiler?Mewiet ☎  20:25, October 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes. -- Tybort (talk page) 20:27, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

I think Oswin and Clara are the same,any one who disagrees deserves to be exterminated

Alice Montague
It was the maid whose name was Alice; I don't recall Clara's first name being mentioned when she was in Governess mode. 81.111.14.92talk to me 11:05, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

Why a single article?
Did I miss a discussion? Exactly why are we covering Oswin and Clara on the same article? User:Digifiend moved the page on 26 December Move log for Oswin Oswald here. Stating:
 * "Clara and Oswin are the same person.... but how that's possible I cannot explain, as she's now died twice.)"

Given that even he states that he can't explain I think that the pages should be separate until we have further information. Currently the article contains fairly vague statements like "seemingly in another life" for example. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:02, December 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree. It won't be that difficult to combine them later if necessary. After all, we just did that with the Master page and it was much bigger :) Shambala108 ☎  15:32, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
