Was anyone else aghast/amused when Strax called out the young men in Clara's subconscious? "Sport. Well, it _could_ be sport."
My eyes flew open so wide they hurt!
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I were to compare it to telling a woman she's thinking of gay porn, I'd say both equally in character, one more bothersome, but trivially. I'd rather be a person who doesn't get names of things right called a dwarf than have my sexual fantasies investigated and narrated.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Of course, since he keeps calling Clara "Boy" how likely is it that those are actually young men in her subconscious?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
So Missy was definitely someone we haven't seen before, right?
The guy sitting behind us at the Shamrokon showing of "Deep Breath" claimed she had shown up before, but I guess he was bullshitting us.

Since he doesn't seem to get gender, could have been anyone on anyone. Still, vs. being called a Disney character vs. your spank bank deets...I know which I'd feel more bothered by.

Very good point -t. That one hadn't occurred to me!
Man, this dialog was filled with many more nooks and crannies' than I'd have given Moffat credit for!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hey, bonny, I came up with an Australian TV rec for you. If you haven't seen it, chase down The Slap. It's an eight-part miniseries, quite good.

bt, thanks for thinking of me. I've seen The Slap. It was truly compelling. Made me think a lot about my couple's counseling clients. So many layers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I need a rewatch because I couldn't understand a lot of what Capaldi was saying. I just suck at understanding accents.
