I wish this was how Capaldi was written most of the time an old romantic suits him really well and he bounces off River far better than that Matt Smith did if she had been his companion instead of Clara things might have been very different.

It'd be like using the word 'faggotry' or something equally as insulting when all you really meant 'a camp runaround'. Could you use an alternative in the future?

While I find Tegan more tolerable and fun than you (specially audio Tegan), I share your feelings about all the new series companions (from the love for Donna to the dislike for Amy). With River, the character, I have always been on the fence. In the hands of a lesser actress she would have been something insufferable , smug and shallow, but somehow, Alex makes her likeable. I don't know if you have listened to The Diary of River Song box set but I recommend you to, in the hands of other writers she positively shines.<br />What annoyed me to no end during the Smith era was all the fanfare that preceded her appearances, writing "hello sweetie" in weird places, throwing herself out of windows for dramatic effect and all the sexual innuendos and smugness in her writing<br />In this story I also enjoyed her more than all the previous appearances, I had fun with her<br /><br />The Doctor: oh dear, the "bigger on the inside" moment was pure gold! Capaldi has a great comedy timing and I wish we could exploit his comedy side more often. The glasses and guitar annoyed me because it tried too hard to be "cool"<br /><br />The episode in general: I just switched off my brain to avoid the dodgy science and stuff annoy me and just enjoy it as a christmas special<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
