This is a pretty epic episode, I have to admit. According to Moffat (this is his first Christmas Special, by the way, and in my opinion his best so far), he wanted to do an episode that followed Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. And I think this does exactly that in such an epic and … Continue reading
And we’ve made it, to the end of time. Well, to the end of someone’s time… I’m going to warn you all, right here, that this is a sad episode, one of the saddest episodes of the series. And it’s not just because of my professed love for Ten… No, it’s so sad I think … Continue reading
The specials are almost over, and so is Ten’s time. But don’t worry, it’s not the end yet… In this episode, the Doctor has to consider what his actions do to future history that’s already been written.

Same thing… Anyway, the Doctor gets on board and starts enjoying himself, and meets someone – Kylie Minogue! Yeah, she’s the “companion” for this episode. For those … Continue reading
Like I said last time, we are meeting a new companion this episode! Well, a temporary one, since it is a Christmas Special and all. And there’s no more Rose, sad. But, we get to meet us a Donna Noble! So, not everyone likes Donna Noble. And at first I wasn’t a fan, partially because … Continue reading
And it’s our first (kind-of) episode with Ten! I was so excited to get to this because, well, we get some David Tennant love! Man, if only they let him carry the Olympic torch through Cardiff… The next Doctor did, but that’s ok. Anyway, that has absolutely nothing to do with the Christmas Invasion, so … Continue reading
