Jeez, that's not a prequel. That's a giant fucking tease!

It took a second viewing of "A Christmas Carol" for me to really appreciate it. I'm really looking forward to this one.

I think you're in the minority on that one. Not only did I absolutely love "A Christmas Carol," I think it's hands down the best Doctor Who Christmas special.

For all its silliness with flying-shark-drawn carriages, I really liked "A Christmas Carol".

"Doctor, I can't hear you! What is that? Is that singing?"
"It's a Christmas carol."
"A what?"
"A Christmas carol."
"A WHAT?"
"A CHRISTMAS CAROL."
Boom.
Just wonderful stuff all through that episode."It's a Christmas carol."
"A what?"
"A Christmas carol."
"A WHAT?"
"A CHRISTMAS CAROL."
Boom.

The fact that the spider queen never moves due to budgetary constraints pretty much ruins that ep for me.

That's often the case for me in many things, and that episode is no exception.
Samurai, another brilliantly begun review thread!!

Amen to that. I've had to work all weekend. Waiting for the Christmas Special is the one thing thats keeping me going.
And getting a new episode of Sherlock on New Years day is helping me cope with next weekend.

Whoa! I hadn't heard about that! Now I'm double excited!

Re: The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe(Grading/Discussion) SPOILER
well that was all very easy, enjoyable enough, the first 15 minutes were awesome, but it will never hold up to repeated viewing. Whilst the ending seems to suggest that the Doctor has a home, with Amy, Rory and River, does the Doctor need a home, and is it a good thing for him to have for the show in the long run? Also may we should have closed the door on the Doctor and Amy and moved on to the next companion next series.

^ Um, where do you get the Doctor having a home with Amy and Rory from? He went there because Madge said *they* shouldn't be without him at Xmas...
Anyway...
That was OK - nice and light, Matt Smith being great... It did feel like a series' Xmas comedy lightweight filler though (the comedy foresters especially), rather than a proper story/adventure of that series in it's own right, if you see what I mean. A little too heavy on the "hey, look, this is Christmas and how Christmas is supposed be, because I'm telling you it's like this in our house" from the Moff. if you see what I mean.
Definitely fun though, and good that they didn't just follow the story of the Xmas-themed book this year again. Voyage of the Damned is still my fave Xmas special though. Highlight was the end scene though, with Amy and Rory. Damn, Amy is hot. Oh, how an Amy/River threesome would...
I'll be in my bunk.
7/10
