Besuch bei River Song (S09E13)

The least Christmas-like Moffat's Christmas specials, but what is missing in terms of the Christmas atmosphere is made up in the stylish of over the top staff. Above all, the first half is one big adventure ride. In the second half, it deviates significantly from the established course towards melancholy, but it is not to the detriment, although the change in style does not suit everyone. In addition, it is all raised to a higher level thanks to the central duo. Not to mention it's not on celluloid, otherwise it might have to ignite because of so many sparks between them. They are unbelievably good together, it would be a sin to be committed to this special if the special will have not have a follow-up. (26.12.2015)

It's like loving the stars themselves. Comedy occasionally adventurous, occasionally romantic, occasionally situational, and quite often unashamedly crazy - while constantly covering up an undeniable fact. Namely, that the meeting of the Twelfth Doctor and River is the most sincere sweet treat, whose true power lies in nostalgia and in everything these two have experienced together, whether they played together or against each other. Quite possibly the best episode with Alex Kingston, which Steven Moffat resisted writing for all demanding fans for a long time, but I still don't believe that he didn't have it planned out in his head for many years in advance.
