Invissed two posts. It's a game, play nicely please.

I keep getting Road to kharkov and I'm SURE I VETOED IT.

Anyway, whether or not I do, I keep getting it, so you're not alone.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by this country specific coh community? And by fb do you mean Facebook? I'm rather uncertain what you're trying to get across here.

Careful or I'll ban you for breaking chronology.

I know the Christmas specials are generally stupid or silly and not really to be taken too seriously, but this one crossed the line and wasn't just incredibly stupid, but it was just bad. The Widow and the Wardrobe one or whatever that was was terrible, but it at least wasn't idiotic and full of bad acting.

Firstly the brain things were given no explanation, nor was the gemstone that was supposedly a red dwarf. Moffat made no effort to communicate any sense of context and focussed mostly on delivering the wet main character's story via flashbacks to child actors so emotionless they probably forgot to take a pulse to check they're even alive before shooting.

The superhero/nanny dichotomy was rubbish, the guy was unconvincing as both roles and was played by someone who clearly styled himself as some up and coming new Hugh Grant. The reporter was bad, she couldn't act. I don't know they're American actors or British but it makes little difference, she couldn't portray any emotion without looking like a five year old in a Christmas Nativity play.

The setting of New York was irrelevant. What a great setting to choose. They've used it before in Doctor Who for better or worse, e.g. Daleks in Manhattan, Day of the Moon and The Angels take Manhattan. They could have literally been in an undecorated TV studio for all it mattered because the setting was not even important, except "New York's not a capital city" - wow, excellent, so make more use of the setting instead of making it a crap line.

The enemy was not threatening because they did nothing at all except pull guns out their heads and never fire them.
All in all, the plot was a massive rip off of series 1's Aliens of London, with the exception that the aliens in this didn't even have a plan after 'blow up the planet'. They'd probably all have died from being stranded on Earth.

Fucking awful. Good riddance Moffat.
