I have a
love-hate relationship with Doctor Who in general, but even more so with the
Christmas specials. The first 2 were decent, the next 2 were terrible, let's
not talk about The End of Time, A Christmas Carol was average, The Doctor The
Widow and The Wardrobe was awful, The Snowmen was meh and the Time of the Doctor
was disappointing.
So you can
imagine my expectations were not high looking into Doctor Who: Last Christmas,
especially since it promises the involvement of Santa. I'm not a big fan of the
more silly episodes of the show, and with Santa involved I was expecting a
silly episode, boy was I wrong.
This barely
counts as a guilty pleasure, but I promised I'd do a long review, and it's
certainly not a rage issues topic, so let's dig into Doctor Who: Last Christmas
and see what capacity Santa can possibly serve in a serious story.
