Charmed...I Was Totally Charmed

 

Set in Victorian England, the latest Doctor Who Christmas special was a lot of fun to watch. Even though he is still stinging from the loss of the Ponds we all knew that it would only take the right person to pull him out of his funk and this time that person was Clara played by Jenna Louise Coleman. She is radiant and brought enormous energy and spirit to the episode.

 

I waited a few days to watch this thinking that I would hate it after reading a number of less than stellar reviews. I wanted to love Clara and I do. Lord help me I love her so much. She could even become the equal of my adored Rose Tyler and that is something I never thought was possible.

 

I wanted to see more of these evil snowmen because they actually freaked me out. What a horrifying addition to winter in Canada they would be. If they were real I would carry a hockey stick with a sharpened blade with me everywhere I went.

 

 

For once the interior of the Tardis doesn't look like a hunk of junk. Finally the producers got my message and gave that baby an upgrade.

While Amy Pond was the 'girl who waited', Clara seems like the 'girl who waits for nobody'. She is brilliant and brave and curious and funny, the kind of girl I would follow through time. She also has enough mystery surrounding who she really is to keep me watching and entertained.

The only bad part of this episode is that I have to wait until April for at least some of my questions to be answered.
