One off the best Xmas specials ever beats all of matts other ones, the episode was just brilliant at the end omg bit disappointed we didn't get a teaser all something like that but oh well

Natalie. 25-12-2013 07:38 PM

I'll watch this on iplayer, when are the new eps?

Jarrod 25-12-2013 07:46 PM

Spoiler:

I'm not ashamed to say that I burst out crying at the part with Karen. I'm so happy they brought her back even if it was only extremely short. She was perfect to say goodbye.

Samm 25-12-2013 08:03 PM

I know Jarrod it would of been wrong if she did not get a part in the episode

Sticks 25-12-2013 08:27 PM

My parents did not think much of it, but then they have not liked the Matt Smith episodes.

Could this be because while Tennant was there, the writer was Russell T Davis and Matt was under Steven Moffat?

Spoiler:


Did anyone here the musical reference to Rings of Akaten near the end? Also part of it did seem like an attempt to deal with a plot hole left behind by the writers of the old series, pre-Ecclestone"

Even from that snippet I can tell Capaldi will be spectacular

Glenn. 25-12-2013 09:56 PM

Thought it was a pretty amazing episode :love:

Need to watch it again but I've been up since the crack of dawn and I'm ready to collapse.

Samm 25-12-2013 09:58 PM

Capaldi did look amazing only by that first clip I don't know what his relationship will be like with Clara know I think the doctor and his companion love story thing is over now after rose it got boring.

But I loved the cyber head sad to see it die I though it would be the next K-9

Samm 25-12-2013 09:59 PM

The runaway bride > End of Time > time of the doctor

Scarlett. 25-12-2013 10:06 PM

I loved the episode, though I am wondering what actually ended up happening to Trenzalore after they left? I'm guessing Gallifrey have gone back into hiding though. The regeneration was so sad :(

Samm 25-12-2013 11:18 PM

I have a feeling it will come back in S8

Scarlett. 25-12-2013 11:30 PM

Hopefully, I like how cleverly all the plot threads were tied up.

It was okay, nowhere near as good as Day of the Doctor

Clara continues to be the best aspect of the show since 2005

Capaldi will be an amazing Doctor. Smith was the best since the 05, but even he was not that good

and thank god for that, it was always terrible.

The Doctor is, and should be, asexual

It'd have to have been amazing to beat Day of the Doctor, lol. One of the best Christmas specials though.

I hear a rumour that there's gonna be an easter special.

I hope so, I will not be able to wait for august

Scarlett. 26-12-2013 02:31 PM

Yeah, normally, it'd not be such a big deal, having to wait, but its a long time to wait for a new Doctor.

Jamesy 26-12-2013 03:00 PM

It would be nice if they did a short Easter special (maybe just a 30-40 minute thing?) just to break up the gap now until series 8.

Last nights special I thought was pretty weak if I'm honest. I usually adore Moffat's writing style although he seemed to had lost it with this script. The pacing was terrible too. Although I'll have to give it a few more viewings to see if it's better watching it again. The last 10 minutes were amazing though. The rest of the episode felt like it was missing something.

armand.kay 26-12-2013 03:41 PM

NOO how can they not have even a teaser :bawling:

Roy Mars III 26-12-2013 03:50 PM

because they don't start shooting till next month

Pete. 26-12-2013 08:25 PM

It was amazing - the best Christmas Special yet

Spoiler:

But no River?? The ****?
Loved the Amy inclusion though - very fitting


In My Opinion:
1) Time of the Doctor
2) Christmas Invasion
3) Runaway Bride
4) Voyage of the Damned
5) The Snowmen
6) End of Time


7) The Doctor, The Witch and the Wardrobe
8) A Christmas Carol


9) The Next Doctor (just awful)

It would have been silly for River to return two episodes after she said goodbye.

GypsyGoth 26-12-2013 08:57 PM

I looked at it and really enjoyed it but I missed some.

Why did he choose to stay in Christmas?

Also how did the vapors from the crack (that sounds so wrong :laugh:) give him the ability to regenerate when it went into his mouth?

I do plan to watch it again.
