"I Am Universally Recognized As A Mature & Responsible Adult...."

[redbrunja]

Literally four months behind everyone else, spurred on by the great trailers for the new season, I finally watched The Eleventh Doctor's  Christmas Special. Which I enjoyed but had mixed feelings about:

What I didn't like:

–the mechanics of the time travel

–the lack of Amy Pond

What I did like:

–the romance

–young!Kazran being adorable

–teenage Kazran being smoking hot.

–Amy and Rory dressing up as a police officer and Roman centurian, respectively. Goddamn, Amy's hot in her kiss-o-gram outfit. That said, I still feel cheated with regards to that relationship.

Kazran, why so awesome? Adorable kid, hot teenager, HUGGABLE OLD GUY. No wonder Abigail was all for him. ;D

(The messy with the timelines made my head hurt. I still don't quite understand how it's meant to have worked. If at all?)

The time travel actually doesn't work by ANY MEASURE and actively contradicts things we've learned about time travel in previous episodes.

I have to say, Moffet's biggest weakness seems to be going for what is most dramatic and ignoring logic and rules of the universe already in place.

I only ended up seeing it a few weeks ago too. I also missed Amy so much. I liked the idea for a christmas special I must say though even if as part of the proper season I would've been like: time traveling mechanics seem inconsistent! Except it does seem consistent with Amy's storyline (and that is an interesting parallel there). I also loved Amy ad Rory dressing up, it was lovely and it is like they're a real couple and adorable and oh yeah, AWESOME. I do hope the OT3 is shown more evenly in DW.

Well, my biggest problem with the end of Amy's story is that the mechanics of the plot didn't make much sense.
