So who was Clara Oswin Oswald? For all the guesses...well...she was Clara Oswald. I was wrong on every count.
Clara was just a normal person, who to save the Doctor's life (and technically all of humanity and the universe itself) jumped into his tears (also known as his timeline), thus shattering her into every aspect of the Doctor's life.
So who was Clara Oswald? No one special, just Clara Oswald.
Now, how does John Hurt fit into the Doctor? I'm not even going to hazard a guess on that one.....

Shuffle...
You know how once in a while a movie comes along and when you are done watching it, it's like "wow, that was a good movie..."...
..well such was the case with the recent movie called "Shuffle"...
(Now, if you ever plan to watch it, don't read on - this is one movie you will never guess the end, until the end. I guarantee it. No, I really do. Don't read on and spoil it if you plan to watch it one day - this is the only movie I've seen that you won't know what is going on till the very end...)
OK...if you've read this far, then read on...
Shuffle starts out with a man who is falling asleep, talking to a Psychiatrist...all he knows it that when he falls asleep he wakes up in a different year of his life...sometimes younger, sometimes older. The first memory he has of any age is a memory of 92...then the next 8 years old...and on it goes...
Well, needless to say, he falls asleep while talking to the Psychiatrist and wakes up in another year. These are the only memories he has, but as he jumps from age to age, he can build on the memory before...meaning he doesn't forget when he falls asleep and jumps again...
At some point during this process, he meets a little girl at a wedding (he learns that he is a wedding photographer) and she says "pay attention, someone's life is at stake"...then walks away...
Unable to take notes (every time he falls asleep and wakes up, he can't take anything with him) he begins to take mental notes of similarities and the obvious, looking for clues on who is in need of help. Most of his jumps occur between 8, 26 and 30.
Through this process he deduces that his dad hates his wife, and believes he is going to murder her. He has only one clue about the day she dies...it is the day that she gives him a watch as a gift...which turns out to be (later in the movie) on Christmas night. Lovell (the man's name) does everything to stay with his wife until midnight...but as the end of the day draws to a close, his wife decides to go for a jog with her dog because of an earlier fight with his father.
The dog breaks away, and Grace (his wife) runs into the street and is hit by a car. Lovell rushes her to the hospital where she is in need of life saving surgery...but because of Christmas, the only doctor on staff cannot be found (which turns out to be Lovell's dad). His wife dies, and Lovell forever decides to never speak to his dad again, blaming him for her death.
So Lovell knows he has failed to help the person whom he loved, and that the "jumps" will now stop, since she has died...but they don't.
Lovell continues with the jumps to different ages...finding out he fathered a son after his wife's death, and forever deciding to have no part in his life. Believing now that it was not Grace, but his son that he must save, Lovell makes an effort to reconnect with his now 17 year old sold Kevin, only leading to dire consequences, and making the situation with his son even more estranged.
Having failed both his wife and his son, Lovell is driving down the road when he falls asleep and hits a car head on...
It is there that time stops, and Lovell has an out of body experience. He meets Grace (who died 4 years before) and as they talk, he realizes she was the little girl at the wedding and that it was him (Lovell) that needed saving, because he became so bitter after the death of Grace.
(...and you think this is the end...but no...)
Lovell then jumps back into his body, and survives the crash. From that day forward, he vows to be a better person. He goes on to take medicine to prevent himself from falling asleep, decides to be part of his sons life at an early age, remarries, and has two children. He reconnects with his father and makes him a viable part of his life.
(...and you think this is the end...but no...)
And then the end comes...
...as an old man in bed, having lived a full life, now 92, and he dies. And then it is something that Grace said when her dog died...about how your whole life flashes before your eyes before you pass away...
...no one ever said it would be in order... : )
