lisabees Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Of course! DS 15 had his new DW book in hand, DS12 had his new "disappearing Tardis" mug in hand and DS18 had his new sonic screwdriver in hand. DD8 wanted to know where her new Doctor Who gift was. Yikes! I cried and saw tears from ds18 at the end!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I don't have cable. It hasn't shown up on Amazon Prime yet this morning. :glare::glare::glare::glare: :willy_nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Lynx Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I cried, and loved it, and there should be one of these every Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 We no longer have satellite, so we're waiting for it to show up on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LG Gone Wild Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I did. It was very good. The last one I saw didn't make any dang sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I did, and I almost cried at the end. The whole story line that led up to the finale just didn't sit well with me so that made the ending of the special last night just a bit bizarre. But it was touching, I'll concede that point. The story line of the special seemed a bit rushed to me. The mom would change her attitude in a heartbeat that left me kind of puzzled each time. I kept saying 'really?' and I don't usually do that during a Doctor Who episode too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lailasmum Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) Saw it when it was on last night. I actually thought it was good and I have been hating Doctor who for a while. Only watch it because dh is a mega fan. I think it was better than many recent episodes simply because the story was fairly simple and felt complete where as usually Dr Who is full of messy plotlines that either don't get resolved or require something ridiculous in the last scene. Especially Russell T Davies and his how many times can I rewrite the same story or pinch someones elses plot and get away with it approach. The plot holes in his stories are usually gaping so its nice to see a christmas episode not written by him and that is actually watchable and we don't spend the next few days trying to figure out the finer details of.

jenangelcat Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hubby and I thought it was awful. Worst episode in awhile. Visually it was cheap. I thought I was watching the Eccleston season for a minute, low budget and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 It is finally up on Amazon Prime! Going to watch it as soon as everyone is up!!! :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMamaBird Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Loved it! Especially the line the soldier said "Please tell me we can tell the difference between wool and sidearms." I got a good giggle out of that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 We watched it last night. I really enjoyed it, as I do all the Christmas specials, because they are a return to the old-style shows where the Doctor and his companion have an adventure and all (or most) is resolved in the end- none of this three-season-long soap opera plot that makes you want to pull your hair out business. I was kind of hoping that there would be a couple more C.S. Lewis references in there, though! Oh, well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfunnybunch Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 We liked it. We started watching recently, so we're only on Martha's season. (Season 3?) So I wasn't sure who Amy is...but we got the gist and enjoyed the ending anyway. We may watch it again with the kids on New Year's Eve. :) Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInTheBlue Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 This is probably a great place to ask a question. I'm watching Dr. Who on Netflix right now. I'm about to watch the episode titled "42". Will I spoil something very serious if I watch the Christmas special I recorded? Will it even make sense to me? I'm really enjoying it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really enjoying it. :) Which season is that? If you're anywhere in Matt Smith, it'll make sense as the only reference outside of the episode itself is to Amy/Rory/River at the very end. But there are Christmas specials every year - if you haven't watched the others, personally I'd watch the ones that correspond up to where you are, and save this one for later. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing was spoiled, except I am looking forward to finding out what happened with Amy. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in SW WA Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yes, we watched it on Christmas day. Enjoyed it with the family. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I love Doctor Who, but the Christmas special wasn't my favorite. Both my husband and I were a little disappointing. Can't please everyone, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
