Well, my days of being glad I'm no longer on Twitter are certainly coming to a middle.

‘She was important because we think she’s important. That’s how everything happens. Every war, every religion, every love story.’

This was probably the most compelling part of the episode for me - the sort of idea that DW excels at.

It's not even the first time this sort of sentiment has been expressed:

Nobody important? Blimey, that’s amazing. You know, nine hundred years of time and space and I’ve never met anybody who wasn’t important before.

Exactly, we've had so many companion "chosen ones" or "special girls". I love the sentiment that every single person is important. A person's origin doesn't have to lead to a season long story arc.
