In my case it's either playing in a theater nowhere near me or on a day no one is available to take me.

Eh. I like Jenna, but Clara's a really boring character.
I know. *sobs*
If you love her, and you should, then help her.

Clara's just too perfect, I guess. I think Jenna's acted her wonderfully, but I was really bored with the answer of what she is. It's built up and built up and a total letdown. We hardly even know her for who she is as a character outside of being the Impossible Girl.
Don't mistake someone being pretty and a good actress as being a good character. Look at Martha Jones, for god's sake.
Well of course! Catherine Tate is neither of those things and who can possibly hate Donna?
Watch Time of the Doctor again (you should anyway regardless of this) and watch the scene with her Gran where Clara hugs her or the scene where she's left behind or the scene where she reads out that "joke" and rests her head on his knee or the scene where she talks to the crack and say she's a bland character.
Her back story is very bland. She's not well fleshed out at all. And the things you're pointing out (in my opinion) are examples of JENNA being a good actress, not Clara being a well-written character. I don't even hate Clara or anything (she's still a much better character than Martha Jones) I just don't feel super emotionally attached to her, because we never really get to know her. All of her thing revolves on finding out what/who she is (which was a total letdown because it was the most obvious answer) and hardly any time is actually spent developing her as someone you feel like you know or care about.
Anyways, Clara's story is played out. There's not really anywhere for her to go. I'd like to see a male companion or an older woman. Less romancey stuff.
EDIT: I just want to point out again that my feelings of apathy aren't a criticism on Jenna at all. I think she's very talented and adorable as heck. I was just really, really excited by the prospect of Clara, and I don't think they did a very good job with writing her. But this isn't me hating on Jenna they way I hate on Emilia Clarke (who is a bad actress in addition to Dany being one of/the worst character on the show).
It's not confirmed that Jenna is leaving at Christmas, by the way. The actors have taken sheer delight in trolling us as to whether she'll be departing or not.
Oh. She's a Jenna Troll.
Well, she's working for Steven Moffat. What else did you really expect?
To explain away plot holes with time being rewritten and to completely miss the point why members of the opposite sex watch her show.
