[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [qb] I agree that the previous specials were better.. this one didnt really seem to have very much to do with.. Christmas? I have a suspicion they built the entire episode around someone saying "hey, let's make the Titanic [i]almost[/i] crash into Buckingham Palace!". The main bad guy looked silly, even for Doctor Who, and he only had a few lines before being killed off. Strangely, I think that Midshipman who sealed himself on the bridge got the best emotional scenes. On the other hand.. it was Doctor Who, it was Christmas, and it was pretty entertaining. However much I don't like Catherine Tate's comedy show, I must admit that as a Companion, she had a fresh chemistry with the Doctor. Something different from the immediate romantic vibes from Rose and Martha. And I think the Doctor is quite ready for a more down-to-earth, sceptical, companion. I loved that scene where she was really horrified when the Doctor went berserk killing all the baby spider things in last year's Christmas special, and he might need someone like that. I do hope they won't try to make their relationship anything romantic. [/qb][/QUOTE]You have pretty much summed up EVERYTHING I was going to say!! All points. Except - when have the Christmas specials really had much to do about Christmas? I liked the reference to Doctor #3 - about being stranded on Earth for a time. Did anyone think there was something behind the line by the Doctor "I'm unsinkable". You don't really want to go around tempting fate like that Doctor! [/QB][/QUOTE]
