3 reasons why Clara was fantastic

WARNING: this post has spoilers from Doctor Who, if you haven’t seen until “Face the raven” and read this. You will be spoiled.

Clara Oswald, the loyal companion to the Doctor. Out of all the companion of new Doctor who, she is the one that stuck around for the most episodes and there was only one way to write her out. One horribly painful way, death.

Now it’s time to tell you why Clara Oswald was fantastic.

1 She was the impossible girl

Clara is also known as the impossible girl, this is due to the fact that The Doctor meets her twice (and sees her die twice) in different time eras before he meets the modern day Clara we all love. The first time the Doctor meets her is in the Victorian times where she is a governess in a town that is taken over by snow monsters. The Doctor menages to defeat them, but not before they kill Clara Oswald.
Later he meets in her in the future where Clara is held hostage on board a dalek ship, only to discover that Clara Oswin Oswald (as she is called there) is already turned into a dalek and there is no way of saving her.
And finally, he meets her in present day London and she becomes his companion. In the end of season seven, her mystery is solved when Clara literally jumps into the Doctors time line and get shattered all over his life and everywhere she was, she saved the Doctor’s life.

2 She was brave

Clara had many great qualities and honestly, if I were to write them all down. This would be an awfully long post. So I will focus on one, she was brave in many different ways. First of all, she was not afraid to chose her own path. The decide for herself what was right and wrong not not just blindly follow the Doctor like some other companions did.
Second, she would do anything she could to save people, even if it could end up in her own death. She wasn’t afraid to take risks and fight for what she believed in.

3 She made the Doctor care

Twelve really was an alien, who thought himself above humans. But Clara changed that. She made him realize that he was one of them, that he was every bit as good or bad as the humans. Not only that, she got him to practice kindness (those little “things to say when you need to be kind” cards she made for him are too adorable!). Clara knew what he was capable of, even when she died. She knew he would get alone and emotional. She knew that the Doctor could get very dangerous and reckless in that stage, so she made him promise her he wouldn’t revenge her. Even with only a few moments to live, she made sure the Doctor would stay a Doctor, that he would stay good and that he would care.

Clara was the impossible girl, she was brave and smart and loyal. And in the end, she greeted death like an old friend.

Captain America: civil war, trailer dissection

THE FIRST TRAILER OF “CAPTAIN AMERICA, CIVIL WAR” DROPPED TODAY (*fangirls*). After watching it (and fangirling) once, and then another time, and another, and another… you get the point. Time to dissect this trailer and throw out some crack pot theories.

Haven’t seen the trailer yet? Watch it here!

The trailer opens with a scene between Steve and Bucky in which Steve asks the other if he remembers him. In reply Bucky tells him stuff about Steve’s life that only he could know, showing that he clearly remembers Steve. This scene creates a feeling of love between the two males. I will leave it up to the fandom to decide if it’s friendship love or romantic love ;).

Then you hear Steve tell Bucky he is a wanted man whilst it shows a bunch of explosions and weapon carrying men, it’s marvel after all.

Next there are a couple of shots that show that people (especially SHIELD) is worried that Steve is no longer a hero and Steve helping Bucky will surely not help him. So it is only logical for Natasha to ask him to “Stay out of this one, please”. But knowing how loyal Steve is, there is no way he will.

After this we have Tony trying to stop Steve, telling him they need limitation or they will be just as bad as the villains (Seems like he really did learn from his adventures in “Age of Ultron”). But Steve doesn’t listen (one stubborn guy there) and this basically will start the main plot of Civil war: Iron man vs. Captain America.

Then there are a couple of fight shots, very marvelish. But then one has me worried, we see Bucky attacking Tony and grabbing onto his chest, grabbing the one thing that keeps Tony alive. Let me tell you one thing, TONY BETTER NOT DIE!

The trailer ends with a sad toned conversation between Steve and Tony which is placed above a couple of fighting scenes.

“I’m sorry Tony, you know I wouldn’t do this if I had any other choice. But he’s my friend” says Steve. After which there is a close up on Tony who looks like he has tears in his eyes as he says “So was I”. Feels. And then we see Steve and Bucky beating the shit out of Tony together, very painful. That’s the end of the trailer.

Until my next post,
Stay Nerdy!

ALBUM REVIEW: Evolution

EVØLUTION is the first album of the band Ghost town after Evan Pearce left the band in July 2015. And this album is a masterpiece!

I didn’t expect much from this album, I liked their previous two albums (The after party & Party in the graveyard), but didn’t love them. They were OK. A little too screamo for my taste, although they had great lyrics. But they changed style with EVØLUTION, the music is cleaner now and a little more mainstream while they kept true to their style at the same time. The albums style goes back to the emo/scene music back in 2007 with a my chemical romance’s “The black parade” kind of feeling.

01 Spark
This song is great as a first track on the album, it gives a clear image on what you’re about to listen to, electrocore at it’s finest with a lyrics that calls out for a angsty evolution. Isn’t that what all 2015 emo teens want?
Favorite line: “Now we live in world of constantly being frightened”

02 Evolution
Continuing with the theme of a angsty evolution, this song feel like a sequel to “Spark”. Once again it is electrocore, but with a little influence of the screamo genre.
Favorite line: “When the world starts to shake from a million voices screaming on repeat”

03 Mean kids
Out of all the songs from the album, this one has my least favorite lyrics. But it makes up with a beat you want to lose control on.
Favorite line: “I never said I lovable, I never said I was more than just a punk”

04 Out alive
This song is my favorite from the album and might make it on my favorite songs of all time list. It has a catchy beat and beautifully constructed lyrics. It is a little more mainstream than the other songs on the album, but still typically Ghost Town. Lyrically it is about surviving in a fucked up society.
Favorite line: “All my life I’ve been battling a menacing deafening sound in my head”

05 Human
This song continues on the theme of a angsty revolution by asking the question what it is to be human and if they are human themselves. It is catchy, but the it did bother me that they spell G-H-O-S-T in the chorus and personally, I hate it when people spell in songs.
Favorite line: “Are we even human? Why do we feel so out of place?”

06 Loner
If you are a introvert, you can most definitely relate to this song. It tells about a guy who would rather stay at home alone then going out and party. Doesn’t that sounds familiar, my fellow introverts?
Favorite line: “I’d rather stay home reading books”

07 Internet pirates
I am in love with the intro of this song, it is so intriguing and it makes you wanna listen to this song just to find out how it goes. My only problem with this song is that in the chorus they are hard to understand sometimes.
Favorite line: “I will make you see mayhem, madness, infinite sadness”

08 Interlude
What can you say about an interlude? It is a calming melody which gives you a little break from the electrocore and lets you breath and gives you a chance to prepare for the emotional song that follows.

09 Candles
A beautiful ballad that will make all the Ghosties (ghost town fans) swoon as it has absolute adorable lyrics. Guys, take notes when listening to this song, cause this is how you sweep a girl off her feet!
Favorite lyrics: “’Cause when I light a candle, I know I’ll find you again”

10 Down
This song starts out with a ballad feeling, but after a couple of sentences it is clear that it will be more on the core part of electrocore. The lyrics aren’t the happiest and sang with clear anger in the Kevin’s voice. This song has to most style resemblance to their previous albums in my opinion.
Favorite line: “I can only take so much before I crumble, before I cave in”

11 Let go
The final song on the album has a beautiful message and a relaxed vibe over it. I can say it is a better version of let it go, since that was my first thought when listening to it. But the song is more about letting go of your problems and breath. The song has a uplifting beat, which leaves you with a smile on your face and hope for the future.
Favorite line: “If you want to get the best of me, you’ve gotta let me live my dreams”
