DISAPPOINTMENT OF EPIC PROPORTIONS.
Ten was pretty ?
That's about the only good thing that comes to my mind right now, SADLY.
There was no plot, the secondary characters where UNBELIEVABLY irritating and the whole thing looked ridiculous about 90% of the time.
ETA : okay I *loved* Russell Tovey (History Boys <3) and the fact that his character was named Alonzo XD
He would have made a fantastic companion.
The rest of the characters were still rubbish though.
Astrid Peth was so BLAND, I just couldn't give a toss about her !
Oh Martha, your win is sorely missed.
And moments like the Doctor carried away by the angels and the flight of the Titanic above Buckingham Palace made me facepalm so hard I almost hurt myself.
I'll sleep on it and wait to see if a second watching makes it better, I really hope so.
Fortunately the series 4 teaser ROCKED like a ROCKING thing OMG.
I just want a mate !
You're not mating with me, sunshine.
AND THEY'RE SNOGGING !
I'm so thrilled that Ten and Donna are snogging that it almost erased the whole EPIC FAIL that was this christmas special.
I'm shipping them hardcore. *squees*
I think I'll have to erase all my Ten/Astrid icons now *shudders*
EDIT : I'm also all weirded out by the new music theme, thank you very much.

You need some sparks there, for fuckssakes, you need actual characters! It was about as interesting as watching two stupid (and thus unattractive) drunken people snogging and groping next to you. Le sigh.

First mocking him for not inviting him along, but then tasting Astrid on his lips and proceeding to beat the shit out of him for shagging human wimmins again. Until the Doctor begs for mercy/more/tiemcock and ORDER IS RESTORED.
