This was a nice episode. A really good mix of warmth, whimsy and menace. I really identified with the idea of nested dreams because I once had a couple bad nights of them when I started a medication years and years ago. Nothing [!@#$%^&*] with your sanity faster.

I usually roll my eyes at appearances of "real life" Santa Claus on shows because I'm basically dead inside but I liked this snappy, sarcastic, "got sh!t to do" Santa. Loved the Doctor's glee at getting to drive the sleigh. After a season of a far darker and more cynical Doctor, that was a "looveleh* thing to see. (That's my version of the way Clara says "lovely." Which IMO is second only to the way she says "Shoot oohp!")

When Clara hears the sound that the TARDIS makes and says, "I never realized how much I love that sound." I was feeling the same way. I also love that lilting woodwind tune that plays in Christmas episodes during happy family scenes and reunions. I'm sure there's an official Doctor Who name for it but if so, I don't know it. It played in the background when Clara was dreaming about Danny waking her up in the morning.

I could've really grown to like Clara and Danny as a couple if I'd gotten to see it happen in real time but I didn't so *shrug*.

So Clara's sticking around. Meh. Whatever.

Supposedly Jenna was unsure until near the very end about whether to stay or go.

I have mixed feelings about Clara (probably the most polarizing companion in many years), but Jenna and Peter Capaldi are absolutely superb together. He's also the main reason she decided to stay.

Good for her. I haven't seen it yet but I hear good things and I'm glad we're getting more of those two together. Clara only truly came into her own this year.

Babelcolour, a very talented Youtuber who makes a lot of tribute videos for the show, felt reenergized by this past season and made a video in its honor.

No missing episodes, sadly, but some lost Desert Island Disc recordings have been found, including Diana Rigg and the one and only William Hartnell.

The excerpt of Bill's episode.

I wasn't expecting his voice to be so clear and strong.

This is one of his few audio interviews available isn't it?

In spinoff news, Jemma Redgrave's Kate Stewart, daughter of the Brigadier, has just been given a Big Finish audio drama series.

Rumors abound that the planet of Peladon as well as the Ice Warriors may or may not be featured in Series 9 this year, which I believe is already shooting. Alex Kingston also dropped a comment at a recent American convention that suggested she may be making an appearance as River Song - something about the size of her trailer despite DW supposedly now having a bigger budget - but she may have just been making a joke.

    • Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.
    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
    • It absolutely was; the narrative was there, and they followed it promptly. Maybe that's back when women had babies at young ages?!?!?
