Well, well... it sounds as if Castela is getting back to her roots!

http://wapsisquare.com/comic/kinda/

This is the first time I can recall, that Castela (or anyone) has alluded to Blackthorn as anything like an entity or individual presence, or that she could possibly communicate with it. Very interesting.

Also interesting to know that the Elder Gods are still powerful and still a potential problem. Apparently you can't get rid of them permanently just by threatening them with a very large splash of flaming Brandi.

And here, Katherine thought she was going to put the fear of God into her daughter, as to the seriousness of what might happen should a glitch (no, not a Glitch, a glitch) happen with the grid, and it turns out Castela is already on top of it.

Love Kat's shocked look at the end...

That's not a Maximum Boggle, but it's getting there.

I think Katherine should have been checking with Cas more often!

Damn.

She's turning into Clara Oswald.

Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?

Or, to use a plant metaphor, she's an aspen.

Aspen trees are often clonal colonies. New aspens can sprout directly from the underground roots of others rather than from seeds. A single aspen super-organism can grow to be as large as 100 acres and consist of thousands of genetically-identical "trees" of different ages, all interconnected through a massive underground root system.

So, Castela may be something like a "sprout" of Blackthorn into our dimension of space-time,

“Yeah, an’ one of those alternate universes has us livin’ in a big mansion outside of Wayzata! Weird, huh?”

Kath has known for a while that Castela is a weapon of mass destruction... now she's getting a clue just how much mass...

Clara Oswald - the Impossible Girl. Longest-running companion up till then for the current series of Dr Who - started with Matt Smith, spent quite a while with Peter Capaldi.

Died twice before the Smith Doctor really met her.

It eventually turns out that she {she thought} sacrificed herself to prevent the Great Intelligence from wiping out the Doctor's past.

Got scattered throughout time and space along the Doctor's existence - she's always there where and whenever the Doctor is, though he usually doesn't see her; for instance, we're shown her stopping the First Doctor from stealing one TARDIS and telling him "Take this one - Navigation's knackered, but it'll be more fun."

Oh, I know who Clara is. I'm just asking if it's good or bad, dependent on your opinion (like many Whovians) on Clara's character.

Some think she's a Mary Sue, some think she's a better Doctor than either Matt or Peter could be.

Then there was that weird series where Clara was stuck in the early 19th century, and mean people made her the queen. I got tired of waiting for the Doctor to show up, and bailed on that one.
