Quote from: jadrax;611518Really enjoyed the Christmas special, especially seeing the links into older continuity.

Quite liked it as well. It was slow at first but well worth it in the end.

Even though the plot was a bit mary poppins, it was the best Matt Smith (if we must have him as the doctor) episode. Moffat's dialogue is atrocious at times, but i would much rather have Strax than this ridiculous Oswin girl.

I thought Oswin was the best part. Seems like a promising companion.

Ghost Whistler

Depends how it resolves, or indeed if.

She isn't as annoying as the Ponds, which is a definite plus, but she's still another spunky young girl character. Not really very original.

Sontaran butler trumps that any day of the week.

I enjoyed the sontaran butler as a comedic foil but "militant goofball" is hardly more original than "spunky girl". Liked them both, thought Oswin stole the show. And think the premise of her character is quite interesting.

I liked Snowmen, though it wasn't perfect. The Sontaran was great. So was the return of the lizardwoman detective. I like Oswin. She's much better than Rory and Amy (who really should have been gone a season ago. They overstayed their welcome).

It's pretty obvious that the dna of new who contains spunky girl as a sidekick. The first mal companion they added ended up fucked over and got no sympathy. The next was openly gay/bi while Rory was a doormat.

Any theories on who Oswin really is?
