I can’t not like an episode of Doctor Who in which Father Christmas calls himself Big Poppa Crimbo. This Christmas episode was definitely one of the better ones, which is cool as usually ones not dealing with a regeneration tend to not be great (with the exception of Christmas Carol, which is one of the best Doctor Whos ever). Moffat does well to marry his Christmas story with Aliens, Inception, and The Thing, while wrapping up the Danny/Clara storyline (or not) and returning Clara to the Doctor’s side for another season which will probably not to out until August. Crap!

I’m glad you enjoyed it but personally I found it lacklustre, directionless and without subtlety. Though I do agree that a Christmas Carol was fantastic 🙂
