Next season will see a cum monster
So, I think that was a bad episode of Doctor Who, and maybe an OK episode of something else. And maybe that was the point? So maybe it succeeded? I still really can't parse it.
If you take the episode the way I like to, the actual explanation for the Sandmen is foreshadowed by all the things that, well, aren't explained; enough of a mystery (and mysteries upon mysteries) to ensure the viewer keeps watching. It's a shaggy dog story intended for the viewer to be strung along for long enough for the video to do its work.After sleeping on it, I've decided I still liked it, but the ending doesn't work, since they pull the actual explanation for the Sandmen out of nowhere.
Sigh...Spoilers for Christmas and what the River/12 relationship will be like via a UK newspaper
Despite her shock festive return, Doctor Who , played by Peter Capaldi, still faces being lonely this Christmas because River doesnt recognise his new reincarnation and keeps romancing other fellas.
The lovelorn Timelord ends up chasing River around the universe in a vain bid to to win over her affections.
Show-runner Steven Moffat admitted that the Christmas special wasnt very festive - but thered be lots of kissing and flirting as Doctor Who turns into a saucy romcom.
Peter said: It is a lighthearted fun thing River doesnt recognise the Doctor and he gets upset because she is flirting and doing all sort of stuff with people.
She simply cannot be persuaded that he is the former Matt Smith/David Tennant/Christopher Eccleston - so there is lots of kissing, but not between River and the doctor!
I am continually impressed by anyone willingly submitting to do audience Q&A.I'm having a great time at the Doctor Who Festival, but dear god they should stop doing audience Q&As. Cringing myself inside out. D:

I wouldn't say it's been a bad season, just a lot of episodes that could have used one more rewrite that could have taken them to classic/great/good episodes. We've ended up getting great/good/meh.
There's also no season character arc at this point for the Doctor or Clara. The Doctor and Clara pretty much have the same relationship and are the same characters that they were at the end of Series 8.
You don't always need to have an overarching storyline for the whole year but you certainly want your characters to progress. I don't think the "hybrid" thing will make up for that even if it's really good, but we'll see.
Well he did pretty much immediately look into Clara's eyes as soon as she came out of the pod. With the ambiguous ending (did the transmission get out, how many saw it?), it could be one explanation.there was another hint in this episode too but i can't remember what it was

One I would consider silly, but possible.
For the first 10 minutes I thought, hey this is pretty good. This could finally be a good sci-fi-story in Doctor Who again. But it went horrible.
So many bad elements in this story:
- The sandman song - it already was overused before this episode
- Dumb monster explanation
- How do cameras work?
- Space soldiers who have guns that they don't use and are nothing but afraid AND loud all the time
- Villain who can't really convince anyone of his motive (lol he's just CRAZY i guess)
I'm not complaining for complaining's sake, I used to love this show
I say that, but the cast Q&A was lovely.
Maybe the answer is asking the kids, not the visibly angry middle-aged men.
You joke, but one very angry guy in our writer's Q&A asked him why he thought Doctor Who fans were idiots because he couldn't say there wasn't a full series next year."I'd like to ask Steven Moffat why he isn't dead yet?"
