WHAAAAT?! Yeah, so this is probably where I’m supposed to cry, and I usually would, wouldn’t I? I mean, I’m hugely emotional and I cry at everything … but Moffat, dude, you’re trying too hard here. Camera footage shows the Doctor exactly how the dream crabs got onto the base, and he sends Clara off to get a thing. A real highlight of the episode, and the Doctor comes clean to Clara and tells her he never found Gallifrey. Santa continues to explain his existence … he’s played wonderfully by Nick Frost, by the way. Of course, it’s not dead … but that’s a long story. There’s some bickering, again, about Santa being real or not, Santa and the Doctor explain dream crabs, and Santa brings in a dead one. The monsters attack, but PHEW! Santa and his elves save the day! Clara comes clean - after slapping the Doctor (again with the slapping?), and tells him Danny is dead. The monsters awake, and the Doctor tries to distract Clara from thinking about them by mentioning Danny. The scientist, Shona, dances her way through the room. As long as you’re not thinking about them, they stay asleep and you’re safe. Also, they make you dream while they kill you. These monsters, called “dream crabs,” grab on to your face, yes, exactly like Alien.

They arrive on a base in the North Pole, where a scientist is trying to walk through a room full of monsters. The Doctor pops out, Clara enters the blue box, Santa and the Doctor bicker, and the Doctor and Clara take off on their adventure.

Santa bickers with his two elves (do you recognize Dan Starkey out of his Sontaran costume?) when we hear an old familiar sound … the TARDIS lands on the rooftop. She finds her way to the roof, where she finds Santa has crashed his sleigh. We open with a loud bang, and Clara wakes from her slumber.

THIS is the Doctor I miss so much, and I truly hope to see him more often in Season 9.Īlright then, welcome to the Doctor Who version of Inception! On with the show! I absolutely teared-up when he was driving the sleigh. The man full of wonder and magic, fun and joy, and who has a special innocence and child-like glee. The man we’ve come to know and love over (at least) the last eight seasons. One wonderful thing … one wonderful, AMAZING thing, is that we finally see the Doctor we’ve been waiting all season to see. I’ll let you know which point that was when I get to it in this recap.

I think maybe I liked it much more until it reached a certain point, and then I felt a little let down. I mean, “Last Christmas” was LOADS better than “The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe,” and “The Snowmen,” but it definitely wasn’t my favourite. Bah.ĪNYway, I literally have no idea whether or not I liked this episode and it’s driving me nuts! Hooray! Happy Whomas, everyone! WELP, THERE WAS NO BABY AND I WAS VERY WRONG.
