it took me way too long to realize why clara tells danny she’ll never say the words, “i love you” again to anybody else.
i always thought it may have just been a bit of weak writing on moffat’s part but it’s because before this moment, the words didn’t belong to danny. she’s trying to make up for what she did at the end of mummy on the orient express. she’s promising not to break his trust again - to stay emotionally faithful to him.
i don’t think it’s a coincidence that before clara refers to “all of the stuff [she] did wrong” the last three post-it notes it cuts to her looking at are,
what else was she dishonest about on the orient express besides deciding to continue traveling with doctor again?
she said “i love you” to him. not only that but while she was on the phone with danny.
and what is she doing at the beginning of dark water? she’s promising that she’ll never say the words again - while on the phone i’ll add.
i think it took me so long to come to this conclusion because i always viewed clara’s “i love you” being towards the doctor in mummy on the orient express as non-canon - yes, despite jenna coleman saying it. twice.
i’m someone who values the writers opinions rather than the actors but i realized, there’s no way it wasn’t for the doctor. why else would it cut to him after she says it? smiling no less.
and why does the official script released by the BBC not include that specific line of dialogue?
Darcy: beams for a second. Feels tears pulling up. Panics. Chain of throat clearing. Silence.
Bingley: starts talking to the baby stream of consciousness style. Yes, he knows the baby doesn't understand a word. It doesn't matter to him. They are gonna be so close!
Mr. Collins: tells the baby how fortunate it is to be born under the esteemed patronage of Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
Edward Ferrars: holds baby. Starts hyperventilating, too many feelings. Delicately gives back the child and power walks out of the room. Spends a full hour in the garden crying and trying to calm down.
Colonel Brandon: big smile. Sits down. Cannot take his eyes off the creature. There are tears running down his face but he makes no attempt at concealing or drying them at all.
Mr. Knightley: deep breaths. Smile. More deep breaths. He's fine. He's fine and don't you dare assume otherwise.
Mr. Elton: high fives Augusta for making the best baby in the world.
Frank Churchill: people know him too well to let him hold a baby below the age of 2. He sits by the side of the crib and tries to catch the baby's attention. He does not understand that the baby cannot do that. He loves his child anyways.
Henry Tilney: a natural at baby-holding. That's it. Everybody else go home.
Frederick Wentworth: vid. Darcy.
Edmund Bertram: stares incredulous that he and Fanny could create such a thing. Gets lost in thought. Has to be asked to give the baby back 3 times before he reacts.
sometimes a family isn't a mom, dad, and kid. sometimes it's a lady detective, a deceivingly badass catholic, a butler named mr. butler, two inseparable commie taxi drivers, a ruggedly handsome divorcee, a himbo, a lesbian doctor, a 14 year old kleptomaniac, and aunt prudence

i really hope they won t cancel the show,and finally make scarnash canon
It's been a whirlwind day for fans of this show, and it's clearly been a better day for some more than others. I do want to acknowledge that I see and hear and understand the disappointment fans are experiencing.
I would like to speak to my own feelings, which are ones of excitement and cautious optimism because the parts of the show I enjoy the most are still intact for Season 5. I am really excited to see where this show goes. I'll put the rest below the fold so as to be respectful to the variety of emotions.
I enjoyed the episodes that didn't feature the Duke for a variety of reasons. He often talked down to Eliza, or tried to knock bring her down in a variety of ways, and so he seemed to be fundamentally incompatible for her. By the end of season 3, I started to wonder how they could course correct to make William/Eliza believable and work for me. I just couldn't see it because I didn't like how the core issue with Eliza's ambition. That's not something I could get behind.
My favorite parts of the show were always Eliza working with partners who respected her- partners like Nash and Moses. I really missed Moses in Season 4, and one thing I hope we see more of is the diversity of Victorian London that we got to see in earlier seasons.
Look, I am obviously a hardcore #ScarNash shipper. I have loved the character of Patrick Nash since his introduction in season 2. The romantic possibility was there in season 2, and then by episode 3 of season 3 (Hotel St Marc), the chemistry was rather distracting! I liked how he respected her talents and enjoyed having her take the lead.
By the end of Season 4, it was clear to me that Patrick Nash and Eliza Scarlet made the most sense. They were equals, and he recognized her talent from the beginning. Eliza's character seemed to have more growth through her interactions with Nash while her relationship with William had grown stale. The flashback episode really solidified that for me- they hadn't changed in personality in a decade, why would they ever? I forgot to mention the constant mirroring of WIlliam/Eliza romance with Patrick/Eliza's relationship. Talking about wanting to receive a present in a bow with a box to William and then having Nash give her exactly that in an area she wanted- a boost to her career. The way Nash always wanted her to work for him when William only reluctantly hired her. The way Nash acted in the entire Jewel of the North episode, including being there for Eliza when her office was trashed. And that's not even Season 4 where Eliza flat out says he's the only person who's ever had any faith in her!
I know what the writers have said about platonic relationships. And a Season 5 renewal with no Duke doesn't mean we automatically get ScarNash. But a girl can dream. They writers are SO lucky to have these actors with this amount of chemistry and a relationship that has developed over THREE seasons. There's been a satisfying arc with Patrick and Eliza. Rivals to friends to lovers would be satisfying. We've watched them grow individually and together. It would make sense.
My wishlist for season 5 certainly includes: a female friend for Eliza that isn't Ivy, for Moses to come back (I know this is not happening lol) and for ScarNash to be canon. I think it would be incredible, and I hope others can come around.
As a side note, it's been absolutely delightful to share this news with ScarNash fans and to find NEW people who have quietly shipped ScarNash. I sometimes felt like there were only a few of us, but truly there's so many people that love the idea of them. So while I think it's not at all guaranteed that it'll be canon, I certainly continue to hope this has opened the door to it. We'll wait and see! I'm looking forward to the new season with more excitement than I've had for any piece of media in awhile.
