    Those were awesome.

    Nothing more to say, really. Can't wait for the next season of this. I assume we'll be getting a christmas special?

    I have no idea what's going on in that promo, but I can't wait for Doctor Who to come back on. First season was a little awkward with the new Doctor(I think David Tennant's first was as well) Can't wait for this guy to get used to the role, because it will be legendary. Already has been a little bit with the season finale.

    Press release about the Christmas special (and a couple of interviews). Sounds intriguing.

    Eh, well written but generally unimpressive: I was more interested in the two lead actresses/opera star in one case (who played Pond and Abigail).

    I'm sorry, but Matt Smith just doesn't cut it.

    Abigail was Katherine Jenkins, a fairly famous singer. Pond was played by Karen Gillan.

    The episode was okay. Pretty much what I expect from Dr Who. Enjoyable nonsense.

    I enjoyed it a lot. Amy/Rory really were quite redundant story-wise, though, even if I enjoyed seeing them.

    I really enjoyed it. I'd probably mark it down a little in the main series, but as a Christmas Special? Great fun. Shamelessly cheesy, but damn entertaining.

    Trailer was awesome though. "I wear a stetson now. Stetsons are cool."

    Manatees are cool.

    To be honest, I was more interested in the trailer for the new online game (suit wearing, animated skeletons? Shadows that devour people alive in mere seconds? Count me there!) than the trailer for the new season/the actual Xmas special itself.

    I like the christmas special. It was everything a christmas special should be. Light on the plot and heavy with the warm and fuzzy feelings. I enjoyed it. But holy crap I need to see the Doctor in a Stetson. Now. I can't wait until spring!

    I liked the Christmas special. It was pleasantly Christmas.

    It's getting increasingly hard to find a show that will try and do anything that is Christmas. I'm not talking about some PC, non denominational, bastard child of some soap opera driven PTA Mom holiday special. Unrepentant Christmas trees, Santa Clause references, Christian illusions of cheer stolen from Pagans, the whole nine yards.

    And the twists on the Past, Present, and especially future visitations were spectacular. Trying to wrap my mind about what is occurring in the characters mind while being confronted by the future visitation was pleasantly mind boggling.

    But what I'm looking forward to most is that brief clip of the replica Tardis they showed in the trailer. That sucker is begging for an epic storyline.
