I got into Dr. Who again, since Tom Baker, when I heard Peter was the next Doctor! What a great choice! It's also something to be involved in, between Sherlocks! The crossover is fun!

FINALLY I can come into this thread...
I just watched the last episode on the telly.
I must say this has been a roller coaster for me this season. 11 was 'My doctor' and I actually took it pretty hard when he left last year... So I had been extremely nervous about the new doctor, and if I could 'forgive' him for not being the Doctor I knew an loved...
I found it hard at first, and I suppose the writers played on that too... I just couldn't get into it I felt... but eventually I really got back to my love for the show!
Despite my humany woomany emotions this was a fine series, the effects were awesome, the pictures beautiful and the stories were awesome!
Part one of the end I actually got on my feet and pointed at the telly and screamed "OMG!!" at a point... I guess that is when you know it's been a good one.
I can't wait for the Christmas special! Unless they are cheating me again I might not have to wait ages this time. It's on the programme for Friday!

In the UK I think it's on the 25th? But I'm not sure...
It's programmed for the 27th here in Denmark... but the channel has cheated me before

Oh. my. word what in the heck was that insane twisty christmas magic heart-stabby mind-explodey Alien Inception doozy of a special?

I loved it. I thought it was easily one of the best Christmas specials they've ever done. It was absurd in a great way that actually made sense. Glad to see Clara sticking around, I was about to start sobbing when she was old.

Agreeing with everything said above! Just, boy, hard to not simply exclaim over it all before reflecting on the whole thing with more cohesive thoughts in wryly amused puzzlement and touched sentimentality. Very strange, but still one of the neater Christmases, leaving you with a nice feeling of the season, even though understand some fans being mixed about Clara staying. And as far as the twist they kept pulling on us…

I LOVED the Christmas special, twists at every turn. For me a good episode is when I have said "OMG, wait what??" a few times...
The firecracker scene put a tear in my eye...

Yes! He did. My friend and I were wondering if we were typically looking too much into things, until A. it happened a second time (?!), and B. remembered who we were talking about with writers and the details they throw in. So I have no darn idea what that implies for the whole thing, and why they didn't make sure to go until they didn't feel the pain anymore, either.
And silverblaze… Yes!! I was going to mention the uncanny similarity to Inception's ending too, but was getting a little ramble-y. That is, I suppose, if you're looking for it, or familiar with it, or want to leave their ending at face value or just twist your brain around a little more, especially if add in the 'volcano' stuff. Overall, still fascinating, and a nice christmas story.

The sweet rodents( do we really have to use spolier tags?!)were new on me...
I'm actually on the wrong thread for this, but on Xmas traditions:
Certainly in England, in one's stocking you always got an apple, an orange and a banana,.

I think the ending with the tangerine was just a little tease. Almost all stories that play with reality like that tend to end on such a thingy.
