Oh Doctor Who, how I love you. But I’m not quite sure how I feel about this year’s Christmas special. Surpsing, yes, oh gods yes. Exciting, parts of it were. But the thing I’m finding with this episode, and that I’m finding with Doctor Who in general with the new series, is that everything is world shattering. How many times has Earth or the human race been destroyed in the new series? How many times has the world been at the cusp of death before the Doctor saved in in thirty seconds flat? And I think that’s the problem. All the major story lines end on a coup de graux. Still, it was amazing, and if not the best part of my Christmas, it was fantastic.

Also, the surprise at the end which I may not speak of leaves me waiting for New Years. Who cares about New Year’s Resolutions when I will have the Doctor?
