Man, that was deep thinking. I won’t be able to see these episodes like before any longer. Very, very good one!

A-freaking-mazing! That was not what I excpected, but Moffat is a real master of plot twists. At first you don’t even know what is real, then you THINK that you know what is real, then nothing is real at all and then Clara is old, Doctor is sad, life has been lived in waiting AND THEN Santa comes in! Holy shit, what an emotional rollercoaster this one was!

Though, Clara is staying. Not good – Moffat will have to push the limits with her character in the next season, since her personality is already very well-known to us. Well, I hope he’ll make it so. I really hope. Otherwise it would be a waste of potential.

Nick Frost was hilarious, as were the elves (sorry, couldn’t get their names or actors, playing them). The striped North Pole, the Rudolf with a car alarm and of course both of Santa’s intro scenes – it was amazing. SANTA IS A BADASS!

I wish we could get more of the girl, who was looking at her Christmas list at the end, the one who was dancing in the infirmary. Yeah, I suck with names, I know. Anyway, she was amazing, fresh and really enjoyable. Next companion, maybe? Now, since Osgood is dead, she looks like the best choice. Unless, of course, Moffat bends over backwards and introduces us to the whole new person.

Also, I have a complaint. With hearing “when we will wake up”, I honestly thought, that all of them were really in different time periods, but it looks like all of them were on XXI century Earth. It would be majestic, if at the end we saw, that all of them were scattered in time and space and the dream was the only thing that would unite them. And investigating that event would bring Doctor and Clara to already established characters, which would give us much more time for actual plot is season 9. By the way… anyone knows a release date?

Really, what about waiting till season 9? Is it really not going to come next autumn (2015) and we will see it much later?

Ehm… Guys? Ladies? @craig? I have something I am not sure how to accept. I have recently listened to Timelord Unbound stories and one moment has striken me the most – Time Lords regenerate into the opposit sex when they commit suicide. I got a hunch and rewatched both of Master’s AG deaths. And you know what? First time he refuses to regenerate, eventually comitting suicide. Then he ressurects, goes insane, takes over the world, brings Rassilon to play along and… sacrifices himself to kill (or at least stop) Rassilon. Selfsacrifice is a form of suicide, right? Which means, that Master had no choice – he had to become the Mistress. And now I wonder if SM if freaking genius that plans at least three seasons ahead or he is just very lucky SO(a)B with incredibly good memory.

I actually wonder – what brought all Doctors from First to Ninth to Gallifrey? How did they know when and where to come? The didn’t even know about the Time War in the first place! If this was already explained, please, point me in right direction.

By the way, about Rose Tyler being the Bad Wolf: I own DVDs first series with only Russian voice-over (condolences are in order – its terrible), but in “Parting of Ways” she clearly says “I am the Bad Wolf”, which also might be a reason for her being an image for an interface. Of course, because of a messed-up timeline, it may also mean nothing.

The problem is, though, that the series may become boring. Not right now, but I thing you’ll agree that after Davies left there’s only one good writer and his name is Moffat. Others are fine for fillers, but it’s only him who moves the series on. And he is a) busy with Sherlock, sequel to Tintin and upcoming other projects; b) not immortal. And right now I don’t see other writer on BBC who would be able to replace him. In worldwide scale – maybe Neil Gaiman would. If he’d want it. So even though I really like Doctor, I would really like to see the very end of the series. Not the boring crap when there’s no more money to make out of the show, but the most beautiful final journey. But, anyway, we have 5-6 years before Moffat would leave (fingers crossed).

@barnable Whoa, whoa, easier! I’m not arguing with you, I’m just playing Devil’s Advocate – someone who is criticizes other theories to make their authors find more proof and expand them to make the theories perfect. That’s all) And your theory is very nice (we haven’t got good timeline riddles in “Doctor Who” for a while), but you really lack the Occam’s Razor principle – the simplest explanation is sometimes the most accurate. We haven’t seen such big timeline-connected event in “Doctor Who” yet and while I agree that this would be cool, I wonder what amount of headache it would bring on writers since most of the show actually happened in different timeline (or maybe it’s just me getting your theory wrong, if that’s so – I’m truly sorry).

@purofilion Thank you for your welcome) Yeah, maybe the last few episodes of Rose/Doctor were over the top, but still. she is the first companion of the Modern Age and this makes her an important character. And I think, that’s why they never killed her – they wanted to bring her back one for some epic story arc or at least episode (like “Five Doctors” of Classic series or “Day\Time of the Doctor” of the new one). Actually, I was expecting her for the last one, but they did even better trick – granted Doc new load of lives, so no complains. So, I think they’ll return her in some kind of special and, I suppose, without Tennant it would be better – Twelfth Doctor seems much more calm and mature and Rose nature is nothing like this, so it might be fun. I woudn’t even complain if she was brought back as a proper companion (at least for some time) or went on her own as a spin-off (we still have a whole cast of “Torchwood” on hiatus and according to the end of the series, they really need some new recruits).

@barnable

Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought the War Doctor got his memory replaced to think that he destroyed the TLs and Daleks and thus do not f*ck the timeline up (since Tenth and Eleventh didn’t know about TLs being alive, he couldn’t keep this knowledge). So, I think, timeline is still in place. I think, we have more interesting thing to discuss with the return of TLs – parallel dimensions and timeline changes (both options were locked by the abscense of TLs, but that’s not exactly true  now).

[demafromua @replies]

Maybe a strange question, but do you think its possible?

Second series, Doctor tells, that parallel dimensions are off-limits. Then, during battle with Daleks and Cyberman he looses Rose to this parallel dimensions and the only thing Doc can do is connect to it to create this touching conversation. But, as I remember, the only reason for parallel dimensions to be off-limits for travellers, is the non-existence oа Time Lords, which, as we know has know been retconed. So, is it possible for Doctor to bring Rose back now? And, by the way, is WhoLock now possible (Moffat denied possibility of the crossover because Sherlock is fictional in Doctor’s universe, but parallel dimensions can withstand it without any damage to canon)?
