Actually, he said the exact opposite.

Sure, he's been known to lie, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Now I'm just confused. Just someone tell me how hard I need to punch Moffat in the face to have Osgood back! That I understand.

Brief Last Christmas trailer.

Looks cool. Hasn't fully sold me, especially with the Inception Bwoms at the beginning, but I'll watch it anyway. Of course.

I found another trailer,preview thing

Oh, Lord, that car alarm gag again. Can we retire that one, please?

I can only count twice: End of Time and now here. Granted, it was funny the first time but not now, but its not as if it's been used that many times.

It was just used in Deep Breath.

Oh, yeah. OK, three times is a bit too much.

Yeah, I wouldn't be so harsh if it wasn't twice in what is effectively the same series. It's a gag that really dates the show I think, too. But that might just be me overthinking it.

I just thought it was stupid because Rudolph is a freaking Reindeer, not a TARDIS owned by an idiot Time Lord or a coach, presumably fixed up by said idiot Time Lord. At least Ood Sigma agrees that it sucks.

That Foretold looks very nice...

Today's Questions from the TARDIS tin video is great. Michelle Gomez is delightfully bonkers! :lol

I made a Christmas tree Dalek as a gift for someone and I thought I'd share :D

If you've been on the fence about plunging into the Big Finish audios I urge you to take advantage of this amazing offer and listen to the kind of stories the show should be striving for.

Posting the short version since it's Christmas and family festivities and all that. Wasn't godawful but meh. Just because you admit to shamelessly ripping popular sci-fi off it doesn't make it any more acceptable Moffat.

Yeah, pretty much this. But, for some inexplicable reason, I loved Shona. I've never wanted a guest character to pop back in as a companion more. I also think I'm leaning a little more towards the positive with this, simply because I wanted Clara back in the TARDIS and that ending pleased me immensely.

Aside from Moffat doing his best The Thing impersonation? The ending was amazing. Old Clara, telling him no man could replace him. The perfect ending... And then Moffat went and ruined it by having it be another dream.

I liked it; it was nice to see a low-stakes Christmas special after the last couple. It's not one of the best Doctor Who episodes ever, but it was fun, had some good humor, and there were some nice emotional bits. I had my suspicions about the dream part, but I was totally taken in by the fake-out with Clara at the end. Better than some Christmas specials, not as good as others.

Glad to see Clara staying around; Jenna Coleman and Peter Capaldi have great chemistry together. Just maybe readjust the Doctor:Clara ratio next season.

Merry Christmas to me! Jenna is back for all of series 9! :D

.... Boooooo

Your autocorrect seems to have misspelled Yaaaaay! :D

Ehhh, it was fairly good. The side characters were... well, Shona's the only one I can name you from the three, and she and Santa were good. Especially with Nick Frost playing him. The Brain Crabs, despite being a total ripoff of Alien (just because you admit you're ripping off stuff doesn't make it better...) were a threatening villain, and the ending... That would have been a great way to end Clara's story. Her and the Doctor finally coming back together and admitting how they lied to each other. And then Moffat ruins it all by making it another dream. I'd like to sledgehammer him in the face for that, but at least we have Clara back next series. I've grown to like her since Series 7. I'd give it a 6/10- not the best, but better than The Doctor, the Widow and The Wardrobe.

I don't want to watch a world where Osgood dies yet Clara is allowed to stay. Not that I'll stop watching. I just want to bitch about it.

So you want to be a Whovian? Because complaining and still watching sounds like what we all do :)

Season 6: The War Games
I have to say, this holds up very well. It really doesn't feel like it drags, even if it's ten parts long. The part where Jamie and Zoe leave, though, is sad as anything modern Who can produce. I give this episode 8/10

Who was Osgood?

Anyway, another wondeful Xmas special. Nick Frost was fantastic as Santa, but it was the episode's references and homages to Alien that really made it kick ass. So this is what happens if you combine Ridley Scott and Christopher Nolan. :lol

Glad to hear Clara will remain as they did a fantastic job with her this season. They turned him from being my most hated companion into a top notch one. I hope the fantastic writing team from this season sticks around for the next.

Same. I hope Jamie Mathiesen gets another episode (Mummy on the Orient Express, Flatline). Those were easily my favourite episodes.

Mathison sure, but I hope no one ever contacts Frank Cotrell Boyce to write for Who ever again.

Yeah, that one was... strange...

The Doctor fangirl from UNIT that the Master killed in the season finale. The one who was likable in small doses but probably would've gotten insufferable really quickly if she was around regularly.

Amen to that.

What did Boyce write? Because the only episode I thought was weak was Deep Breath. All of the others were great and far better than anything Season 7 gave us.

Wait, you mean the one that was turned into a Zygote?

Into the Forest of the Night. And that was worse than pretty much every season 7 episode.

I also wouldn't care if the Kill the Moon guy didn't come back either. That episode kinda sucked as well.

Zygon, but yeah. And Boyce wrote the one with the Forest, and the tiger, and the magic tree fairies...
Yeah, that one was pretty bad too. And it had so much horror potential, andit turned into an abortion debate...

I thought the forest episode was really good. Sure, it wasn't the best of the season, but it was a fun and interesting episode. It was unique too.

Season 7 though, was really bad. That is why I bought the Complete Matt Smith Years set. I got it for less than what it would have cost me to buy S7 and the two specials on their own.

I thought Rings of Akhaten and Asylum of the Daleks were the only REALLY awful episodes of season 7. There was a lot of average episodes, but ones like Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, The Crimson Horror, the Snowmen and (to a lesser extent) Hide and the Name of the Doctor were all excellent episodes.

As far as entire seasons go, 6 was way worse than 7.

Who are you people?! I loved Rings.

Rings was very divisive. Some people absolutely loved it and others hated it, with very few in the middle ground.

For me, it wasn't the episode plots themselves I had a problem with but the lack of energy and enthusiasm from the actors. Amy and Rori did not need to be in S7 at all, but they were there, and it felt like they were just going through the motions until they were written out.
