    Why do I get the feeling that the Sleepers and Dream Crabs are just some more lackeys of the Great Intelligence? To quote the Intelligence in ‘The Snowmen’ : ” The dream has outlived the dreamer.”

    I’m very sorry but this doctor don’t have the same real magic of the eleventh. He is irreplaceable.

      I disagree, I think that the Eleventh Doctor is highly replaceable, I struggled to see the Eleventh as the Doctor half the time.

      Get over it! The Werewolf is right and anyway, why would he have that same magic as the 11th Doctor? Every Doctor is different.

      Every Doctor is different. The show always gains a new theme or tone with every new Doctor and each one brings a new thing to the show. I’m on the fence about a Doctor being replaceable but Capaldi’s is definitely on the way to being one of my favorites.

      Sorry I thought Matt Smith was quite good but Peter Calpadi is IMO and will come to be increasingly seen as the REAL DEAL.

      Excuse my stupidity but what does IMO stand for? I honestly don’t know.(sorry)

    Has Journey Blue been confirmed to be in this episode or in series 9 or not? Because there are a lot of rumors and theories about her being the next companion and I was wondering if any of it is true or not.

    My comment isn’t related to the episode. I’ve noticed that the user, rycbar, puts comments using his or her own opinion and its like no one wants to know. But when other users put similar comments, no one is being harsh to them. This site is for people to express their own opinions.

      Last years because it was more like a proper episode which tied up the loose ends from Matt Smiths time in the Tardis without seeming TOO Christmassy.

      If we’re talking about the worst then IMO The Doctor The Widow And The Wardrobe wins hands down.Too schmaltzy for me when Disney et al have that covered at that time of year.Dont we want life the universe and everything to be more at stake for a Christmas Special before we’ve finished the last mince pie for the day?

    Short Synopsis: The Doctor and Clara face their Last Christmas. Trapped on an Arctic base, under attack from terrifying creatures, who are you going to call? Santa Claus!

    Looking forward to this one, I’m hoping for Ice Warriors or Sea Devils as the villain, and I actually think Nick Frost is prefect to play Santa Clause!

      Probably be neither but I am ALL for bringing back what I consider to be the REAL Silurians whiich is not the Madam Vastra variety.

    The End Of Time (because time ends when Tenant leaves the show)
    A Christmas Carol (Totally unrelated to Dickens’ book. Of course.)
    The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe (Nothing like the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.)
    The Snowmen (an episode centred on Clara and the Doctor is called the Snowmen)
    Last Christmas (I gave you one of my hearts, the very next day, you put it in VanStaten’s museum)

    Not exactly original, are they?

      OK, I guess Time Of The Doctor hasn’t been used before, but why would it? After The Name of the Doctor, The Night of the Doctor and the Day of the Doctor.

    Oh, how original. Must have taken YEARS to think of that title.

    Why would it be set last Christmas? Why not the one coming up in 30 days?

      Maybe it means THE Last Christmas, e.g. the Last Christmas that Earth will ever see, or the Last Christmas that Father Christmas will send presents, etc. Interesting play on words if it is…

    I hope it’s like the snowmen, good plot, monsters, Christmassy and not like carol or wardrobe, that just bored me.
    also, watched voyage of the damned yesterday and I still love it!

    I think it might refer to Final Christmas….rather than Previous Christmas…..deliberately ambiguous, me thinks.

    Last Christmas is quite clever really. From the song.

    Last Christmas, I gave you my heart. But the very next day you gave it away. Maybe it has something to do with the relationship between The Doctor and Clara..
