HELLO STARWHALIANS. It is December 25th, which means Christmas for those who celebrate it and far more importantly, of course, the Doctor Who Christmas special!

MMK SORRY MAYBE I'M GRASPING AT STRAWS HERE BUT WAS ANYONE ELSE POINTING AT THE SCREEN A TIME OR TWO OR FOUR GOING "HEY THAT WAS ABOUT ROSE"

afh;awh;are;ar;ij

Oh, also, that was a great episode.

What, the whole "HAVE YOU EVER LOST SOMEONE YOU LOVED, DOCTOR" thing? Seriously. The man's lost just about everyone; you wanna rub it in a bit more?

[beingfacetious]

Ahahahaha, yeah. I had a chuckle or two about how much faster Eleven gets over those bouts of emo than Ten would, though.

lol I totally was a few times I won't lie. I would never try to argue that it was what Moffat had in mind when he wrote the lines, but it was what I thought of.

THOUGHTS AT RANDOM:

• FUCKING TIMETRAVEL, HOW DOES IT WORK oh right you just make up rules on a per-episode basis
  
• NEEDS MOAR PONDS
  
• LOL @ THE HONEYMOON OUTFITS
  
• the space fish were so cute
  
• ELEVEN FINALLY FULFILLS HIS "SNOG HOT BLONDE" REQUIREMENT. WELL DONE ELEVEN.
  
• Katherine Jenkins' voice is awesome
  
• Eleven should interact with children always
  
• OMG THE TRAILER. OMG.

HEEEE

ALL OF THE LOL-DOCTOR-YOU'RE-CHANGING-THE-RULES-AGAIN STUFF ASIDE, I THROUGHLY ENJOYED MYSELF. THIS IS PARTLY BECAUSE MY BROTHER (NEW WHOVIAN) AND DAD (USED TO WATCH AS A KID) ENJOYED IT, AND MOM SAT THERE GOING "WTF" PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE TIME.

Each time I see Eleven, I remember that, yes, I do in fact love him. There were so many quotable lines from this! And more than once I slapped my brother and we simply panicked because OH THAT WAS SOO ROSE BEING TALKED ABOUT THERE HI! Nothing can convince me otherwise.

Also, the Ponds are growing on me. My casual acceptance has bumped up a notch or two. IS SEASON 6 HERE YET?

[hailtherain]

Omg why do I always do this? I didn't meant to click "Reply", but the "add comment"

...Oh well. XD

YES. TRUTH.

[alierajean]

I don't.. understand. Please stop doing time travel.

Whatever, I enjoyed the card tricks! XD I was kinda hoping the kid's card was inside the sharks belly.

I was also amused by that bit where the Doctor channeled Sherlock.
I caught that, too! I was wondering if Moffat forgot what show he was writing for a second. Then I wondered if we could get some Martin Freeman in this ep.

I liked the episode a lot, but the hugging totally crossed a plot hole/believability line for me. Even for Who. I mean, the Nazgul time disinfectant things showed up for far less than paradoxical hugging. The universe should torn in two by now.

I agree, someone was pointing out that when Rose touched the baby that point in time was already weakened by previous things, but the touching still should have done some weakening in of itself....I feel it was just unnecessary, they could have gotten the same point across without ruining the moment with a big plot hole--Dumbledore could have leaned in arms wide for a hug and Eleven could have stopped him with a funny "Don't touch the baby boy! Trust me on this one..."
