A very long time. A very long time.
Didn't like the episode, but loved the Doctor in it. I think it's probably my all time favourite performance from someone as the Doctor. He was brilliant.
Episode was poor though, from logic being thrown out the window, to Greg Davies just being Mr Gilber in a robot suit and that the final soppy ending.
Felt like RTD wrote it. Yuck.
Bleh. I hate it as much as people hate "Fear Her" or "Love and Monsters". Just a dumb, pointless episode. I guess it is a Xmas one after all, but good lord did I not enjoy it.What. Voyage of the Damned is goooooood.
Next Christmas, probably.So this was our last Doctor Who episode till...?? :-/
Next Christmas, probably.
We're getting a full series produced next year, but it's being pushed back a few months to allow a different scheduling strategy and so Moffat can finish his Sherlock work. Smart money says that it starts in January or February.Seriously? They're still not able to get a new series sorted out on a regular basis?
Fucking hell this show desperately needs new management.
For those wondering, ratings for Doctor Who were 5.8m.
Which is a) not great for Christmas looking at Who's past specials b) not that bad considering Christmas day was massively down across the board, Downton was peak at 6.9m. OOOOF.
Also probably because TV this christmas day was a steaming pile of garbage.For extra context it beat out both EastEnders and Corrie which at one time were getting 10 odd million for Christmas.
And to put some extra positive spin it actually had the second biggest audience percentage of the day (29.4%), barely behind Strictly (30%) which is super impressive. And indicative of just how much Christmas Day ratings have dropped like a stone in recent years. I guess because of the rise of catch up and Netflix and the like.
Truth.Also probably because TV this christmas day was a steaming pile of garbage.

Voyage of the Damned (Series 4)
Now I am kinda offended. Doctor telling River that things must end, shortly after he did his shit with Clara was silly.
Now I am kinda offended. Doctor telling River that things must end, shortly after he did his shit with Clara was silly. Are you kidding me. The episode itself was fine, fun, with nice callbacks, but that really grinds in my wounds about Clara keeping not dying. I mean, there is that 24 years thing of course, but it's the principle of his speech against Rivers proposed loopholes.
When the Doctor had hisI laughed. It was nice seeing a lighter Capaldi.it's bigger on the inside moment,
I felt the point of this was him coming to terms with that, even though he doesn't remember Clara. It also felt like a send off to Moffat as showrunner, since his first Who episode (of I recall correctly) was the library one. I would not be entirely surprised if that was the original intent of this season + christmas, but it might just be an coincidence.
This should be the last we ever see of River Song though. Her loop / story appears finished. Kingston's performance had a good run though.

Um, which cliffhanger are you talking about?Eurgh, just give up on Sherlock already. The two stars are too busy for a regular schedule and bending over backwards for 3 episodes is just an insane waste of resources. The show is nothing but a vanity project for all involved. We got 1 cliffhanger that was never resolved and the next episode will ignore the last one.
Just can the damn show already or make it 1 a year.
