First impressions on
The Snowmen: Feels like a Doctor Who version of
The Dark Knight Returns, what with The Doctor being "retired" after what happened to Amy and Rory; he stopped wearing a bowtie, becoming secluded up in the clouds, not caring about humanity or the universe. Only to come back when Clara shows up (he didn't realize he put on the bowtie).
I gotta say, that was a
brilliant way to introduce the new companion. Great banter between them. Now I'm intrigued about the mystery behind Dalek Oswin Oswald/Victorian Clara Oswin Oswald/Modern Clara Oswald, how she/them are interconnected, and probably the 'Great Intelligence'.
Love the new interior of the TARDIS. Somewhat new yet familiar to past versions. Also love the new opening and a nod to the past with Matt Smith's face showing up. And love the new outfit. Traded the suspenders for a vest. Hope he keeps the reading glasses, probably to remember the Ponds by.
Probably won't happen, like with Jenny (The Doctor's daughter), I want to see a spin-off with Madame Vastra, her wife Jenny (I knew there was something going on between them during
A Good Man Goes to War), and Strax, who I thought was mortally wounded last time we saw him, in a steampunk-ish Victorian London. Hope to see them sometime later next year.
