It was indeed a marvellously spiffing adventure. Though there were whinings about continuity (over characters meeting their younger selves without the world ending etc) from people I was watching with. And a debate about whether Scrooge was actually evil. Loved Matt Smith's Doctor, as ever. "A Christmas carol!" Heh.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I have seen the DW Christmas special, and enjoyed it, although I would have liked Abigal to do more than be lovely, sick, and die.
Still, Amy and Rory and the Doctor were lovely, I loved the fish and the steampunky production design, and I got a kick of the very Hugh Grantish young Kasran.

Great fun. Loved it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The DW Christmas special was adorable. The part where the Doctor was reassuring the boy that there were no spiders in the closet had me laughing so hard I had to pause the playback.
I was also highly amused by the reappearance of certain costumes.

Just caught up with the Doctor Who special, and that was lovely. I just hope in addition to getting a last shark ride, Abigail also got one last visit with her family.
Loved the return of the fez. And I loved hearing a reference to one in the preview for the new season. And then he gets a Stetson (promptly shot off, it appears). Is this the first Doctor with a jones for haberdashery?

The 4th Doctor often wore a floppy, broad-brimmed hat. Very Bohemian.
