To me she seems like a cross between Rose Tyler and Sarah Jane Smith, not a bad mix if you ask me. However there are still questions about her appearing in different erasthanks to the magic of Television and archieval material. So who knows, maybe she's a slightly grown up Susan Foreman. Doctor Who still has a lot of explaining to do about the Doctor's "granddaughter".

She is the main reason I am starting to watch the entire series. I thought she was great in the "Last Christmas" Episode. I really like the new Doctor as well. I started with the new series 2005. The Doctor is likable and funny, and Rose is ok.

To me she's the most complex and likable companion. She's flawed 16d0and incredible human, and I like that. Characters need to be more real, and her development in the series 8 was amazing for doing that.
But you last sentence is right, Clara is very egocentric, and this is not just an impression. She is written to be like a mirror of the Doctor, and that's the way he is. I personally like that, because the relationship between the Doctor and companion becomes much more interesting. -

The key thing in this discussion is the date of the posts. I could not help but notice that all the early posts from last year are quite negative. In fact I really disliked Clara in the beginning, but I think she has greatly improved as a companion in season 8 because the writing is much better. During Clara's first year as a companion, Matt Smith's last season as the Doctor, I thought the writing was lazy and weak. However, I find it much improved in season 8 with the 12th Doctor. The stories are better and the dialog is sharper.

Yes, to me she's a a very current women who wants to be in a relationship as equals, while the other companions were fine with him being the Doctor and them being the companion.
As course, she isn't a Time Lord, so there are problems to that, but that is what makes her interesting. She has a spirit of adventure and a determination to match the doctor, but she's only human and can't really ever be his equal. I thought that was a lot of what her relationship with Danny was about.
Definitely my favorite companion.

For me it was Clara that got me to like this Doctor. I wasn't sure at first and neither was her character in the first episode last year. When she got the phone call from Matt Smith'so Doctor Who and told her his vulnerability and needed her help. It was at that point that I began to see under the strong and rough exterior is a person who has doubts and scared. It was Clara that helped build his strength and face his fears. This has been more introspective of the Doctor and I'm personally enjoying it. Everyone has their own opinion of course.

Clara/Coleman (abetted by Moffat's awful mishandling of Who) annoyed me from day one to the point I took a hiatus from the series, just as I did during the time of the insufferable Ace, after having watched the Who from the mid-70s (somehow I managed to shut out the shrill whining of Peri). I couldn't stand Rose/Piper either. Martha was all right, though her character was not well written. I preferred Donna and Amy during New Who. I adored Sarah Jane Smith, Leela and Romana (especially Romana II), though I also loved Tegan, Nyssa, Turlough, K-9 and even the much-maligned Adric. As Searching for Neverland said, to each his/her own.

I liked her as the Impossible girl with Matt Smith as the Doctor. Not sure she fits as well with this new doctor. I think the actress that played the Mistress could have played a better companion for him. Not as the same character but I did see some chemistry between them.
