I was watching the first Christmas special (2005) last night, and noticed a strange ‘coincidence’, and I was wondering if anyone else noticed this too: in that episode the newly regenerated Doctor uses a tangerine (he calls it a satsuma), talks about how it sums up Christmas, “You go through all of those presents and right at the end, tucked away at the bottom theres always one stupid satsuma”. He then uses it to kill the lead Sycorax, and says “no second chances, I’m that sort of a man”. *could that be foreshadowing the last christmas? going through all of the dream scenarios that seem like the ‘present’ and at the end there is a tangerine?
Just thought it was interesting we might have encountered Santa’s calling card (it is explained as being from Jakcie’s man-friend, Howard is from the market and started delivering bags of oranges to her door though) 10 years before, and the talking about second chances in the same scene might be too much of a coincidence? Also, the Sycorax implied the Doctor had magical powers (saying witchcraft while he regenerated his hand) and in “Last Christmas” we also have someone implying he has magical powers (and the next episode is Magicians’s Apprentice). Just thought it was really interesting when I was re-watching old episodes last night 🙂 Any thoughts?
