Fay, I feel like I was waiting my whole life to see a giant steampunk robot stomp on London.
It was a pretty entertaining romp, definitely better than last year's.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Very right, P-C.
The Steampunk Robot rocked.

Christmas Who: Oh, I really enjoyed it. I loved David Morrisey, I thought he brought some much-needed warmth and anti-cynicism. I also enjoyed the Doctor having a companion who was not a younger female (I know Donna wasn't "younger" - it was one of the things I liked about her too - though technically they're all younger, but... oh you know what I mean) .
Did anyone else really like the Infoport thingy showing all the other Doctors? Given that the new series usually references the previous incarnations only obliquely, I loved that this was completely explicit .

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Does anyone know if/when the "Who" Christmas special will air here? Not a big one for aheming.
Also, am now fully caught up on "Battlestar Galactica." And ... wow. That's all I gotta say.

Neither SciFi or BBCA say anything about airing the Doctor Who special/s. Sciffy's schedule shows episodes of season 4 and season 2 airing through the end of January.

Well, last time we got Christmas in April. (I'm rewatching my tivoed BSG and seeing the Who promos.)

I'm so glad Who aired. Now to watch it myself. Also--I no longer have buyers remorse about the SG-1 set. Rewatching it has reminded me that it was some damn fine entertainment.
Also, am now fully caught up on "Battlestar Galactica." And ... wow. That's all I gotta say.
What a ride, eh?

I got a great kick out of the Christmas Who. I loved the steampunk Cybership, I loved David Morrisey as a potential Doctor. He had a warmth and charm I would have totally accepted as the eleventh Doctor even if it hadn't been a misdirect. And I, for one, didn't see enough of the trailers to know that it was. It was only when the fob watch fell apart and then the Doctor pulled out the stethoscope to check his heart(s) that I started having some suspicions that he wasn't. And I adored the balloon TARDIS! For me, the show had a good balance of slapstick and emo. It wasn't necessarily the most well written episode, but it hit all the right buttons at all the right times.
Defintely goes in the win column.

For those who have seen the Dr Who Christmas special, a bit of David Tennant and guest star in another series, not spoilery for the Dr. Who of course: [link]

DW Xmas special:
I enjoyed it- many nice moments, I loved the watch callback, the Next Doctor was marvelous, the villianess was beautiful and awesome. Silliness? Oh yes. But I never expect the plot to make much sense. I love Doctor Who for its little moments and the fact that I just love these people.
Also, they break my heart.
Also also, I loved the Doctor being the companion for the first bit of the episode.
Love. But I'm soooo easy that way with this show. Except the season finales.
