Quotes from "The Bells of Saint John"

Paul: Is it an evil spirit?
The Doctor: It's a woman. (Paul crosses himself)

Clara: Who are you?
The Doctor: The Doctor. No? The Doctor?
Clara: Doctor who?
The Doctor: Who. Just the Doctor. Actually, sorry, could you just ask me that again?
Clara: Could I what?
The Doctor: Could you just ask me that question?
Clara: Doctor who?
The Doctor: Okay, just once more.
Clara: Doctor who?
The Doctor: Oooh, yeah. Oooh. Do you know, I never realized how much I enjoy hearing that said out loud. Thank you.

Miss Kizlet: I'm ever so fond of Alexei, but my conscience says that we should probably kill him.
Mahler: I'll inform HR.
Miss Kizlet: Actually, he's about to go on holiday. Kill him when he gets back. Let's not be unreasonable. 

Clara: How'd you get here so fast?
The Doctor: I just happened to be in the neighborhood on my mobile phone.
Clara: When you say "mobile phone," why do you point at that blue box?
The Doctor: Because it's a surprisingly accurate description.

The Doctor: Right! Don't be a monk. Monks are not cool!

The Doctor: It's something in the Wi-Fi.
Clara: Okay.
The Doctor: This whole world is swimming in Wi-Fi. We're living in a Wi-Fi soup. Suppose something got inside it. Suppose there was something living in the Wi-Fi, harvesting human minds. Extracting them. Imagine that. Human souls trapped like flies in the Worldwide Web. Stuck forever. Crying out for help.
Clara: Isn't that basically Twitter?

Clara: What is going on? Is this real? Please tell me what is happening?
The Doctor: I'm the Doctor, I'm an alien from outer space. I'm a thousand years old, I've got two hearts, and I can't fly a plane! Can you?
Clara: No.
The Doctor: Ooh, fine. Well, let's do it together.

Clara: Okay, are you going to explain to me what the hell's going on?
The Doctor: It's breakfast.
Clara: What? I ain't waiting until breakfast.
The Doctor: It's a time machine. You never have to wait for breakfast.

Clara: So what happens if you do find them? What happens then?
The Doctor: I don't know. I can't tell the future, I just work there.
Clara: You don't have a plan?
The Doctor: Oh, you know what I always say about plans.
Clara: What?
The Doctor: I don't have one.

Clara: I have insane hacking skills.
The Doctor: I'm from space, and the future, with two hearts and... 27 brains.

Miss Kizlet: The people of this world are in no danger whatsoever. My client requires a steady diet of living human minds. Healthy, free-range human minds. He loves and cares for humanity. In fact, he can't get enough of it.
The Doctor: It's obscene. It's murder.
Miss Kizlet: It's life. The farmer tends his flock like a loving parent. The abattoir is not a contradiction--no one loves cattle like Burger King.

Series 7 Episode 6: The Bells of Saint John

Summary:
The Doctor is living a monastery when suddenly a monk arrives and tells him that the bells of Saint John are ringing. He rides as fast as he can to his Tardis and wonders who is calling him on this phone. Soon he works out that it is Clara, whom he has searched for a while now. When he arrives at her doorstep he has to save her from a spoonhead who wants to upload her mind into a data cloud. The Doctor manages to save her in time but now he wonders who is using the WiFi to collect people's minds. Clara can't remember what happened to her but suddenly she knows a lot about computers, so it seems that the Doctor has downloaded a little extra into her brain. The lights around them suddenly go out and they see a plane coming towards them. The Doctor jumps into the Tardis with Clara and saves the people in the plane. The next morning, Clara tries to find out where the people are but her mind is uploaded into the data cloud before she can tell the Doctor. He sends a spoonhead that looks like him to his foes but will he be able to save Clara and all the other people?

I think this was a great first regular episode with Clara as a companion. The episode had great action scenes but also some calm moments between the Doctor and Clara. The Doctor is more than happy that he has finally found Clara and now he can figure out why she died twice before and can't remember anything of it. I liked the spoonheads but it was a bit creepy when the turned their heads and there was suddenly nothing else than this electronical spoon-like thing at the back of their heads. The Great Intelligence is back which also appeared in the Christmas Special but now it seems to be stronger than then. I guess that's normal because there lies quite some time between the Christmas Special and this episode which takes place in 2013. That's probably not the last time we will see the Intelligence. It's really creepy when all the people who worked for the Intelligence are resetted in the end. Clara will be a good match for the Doctor because she does so many things he didn't expect her to do. Sorry, I'm just excited that the Doctor is back and I'm really lookin forward to the next episodes.
