Warning: Full spoilers below.
Continuing the Ashildr thread from last week’s “The Girl Who Died,” “The Woman Who Lived” dives deep into the questions posed at the end of that episode. Specifically, what would the ramifications be of the Doctor’s granting Maisie Williams’ character virtual immortality? And how would Ashildr’s new existence reflect upon the Doctor’s own life, who as we all know is almost ageless as well.
For one thing, Ashildr is no longer Ashildr. Not in name, anyway. She doesn’t even remember that name all these centuries since the Doctor saved her. It’s quite sad, really; she can barely recall the Viking village that she came from, which was so important to her and which she couldn’t live without back then. Her father is hardly a memory, that life all but gone. And that’s why she’s stopped taking names. Now she is just Me, alone and shut off from the rest of the world in order to guard against the pain of watching everyone around her, particularly those she loves, grow old and die. Her former names have passed on with those she knew.
