The Christmas Invasion (2005)

[GateTrek2004]

I get to see this eppy this chrsitmas!!!! YEa!!

[Inty]

This is by far my favorite episode! I mean the whole scene on the ship was SO incredible. I liked the show alot before this ep but this is what made it number one! David Tennant is awesome!

My favorite line was when he quotes the lion king by mistake =)

I must admit that this show has some spell over me... At the end of Doomsday I actually cried! (for people that don't know me I have never cried when watching TV since I was a little kid).

Can't wait for series 4... Hope it isn't the last for DT!

Sorry to say this but...

Spoiler:

The Middle of Season 4 is when David Tennant leaves and another person takes over as the 11th Doctor. So far, it hasnt been released as to who is going to be the 11th Doctor

Where do you get this idea? The BBC don't seem to have announced anything like that.

Huh... do you know something we don't?

[ShadowMaat]

I think it's some jerk trying to mess with peoples heads. Or someone who can't tell the difference between rumor and fact.

And here's what Steven Moffat had to say about the Sun's casting rumor:

Spoiler:

The James Nesbitt story is a total fabrication. Made up. A fantasy. Just a guy sitting at a desk and just inventing stuff.

I wasn't going to say anything, but I'm getting embarrassed for the deeply wonderful Jimmy Nesbitt. So tell everyone please, cos it's getting very silly.

Steven Moffat

Thanks to Outpost Gallifrey for passing that along.

[Inty]

I seriously hope that it's not true... There could probably be someone better than DT, but I doubt it because he is just fantastic!

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!

*takes deep breath and counts to ten doctors*

I will not lose my temper, I will not lose my temper, I will not lose my temper...

SO! Christmas Invasion. Something ON TOPIC!!!!!!!!! Boy, how 'bout that mothership? And the satsuma! HA! I'll never look at thos innocuous orange blobs in quite the same way again. Especially now that I know what they are. Dunno if I knew the term beforehand.

[Coco Pops]

Yeah this is amongst the episodes I liked this series....

Loved the banter between the Doc and the Sycorax leader about the "big red button" That was gold.

What did bug me was the end... How did those six words "Don't you think she looks tired" bring down the PM?

It was loud enough we heard it so surely Harriet heard it too?

[Coco Pops]

Howcome when the Sycorax made contact via the space probe it was the UK's mission but the americans wanted to take over. Howcome, and not having a go but do people really think the americans are like that?

Or are they really like that in the real world?

Re Watching new DW on DVD for the first time. Am I ever glad they put the Children in Need stuff on the DVDs! I really felt something was missing at the start of the episode. Then I found the short special and watched it. Now that made this episode whole.!

Indeed, and that Children in Need special was great; it contained that heartbreaking line...

Rose: "Can you change back?"

Four words.

That's probably my favorite Rose scene. Of course, this being Doctor Who, Rose is over it by "New Earth" (in fact she's practically jumping up and down with glee at the beginning of that episode). I loved the beats of uneasiness about the new Doctor in the CiN special and "The Christmas Invasion".

[Coco Pops]

Which episode was this I have to see this again.

[pbellosom]

I've only just noticed that this got moved to this folder. I'm not entirely sure that's a good idea, surely it should be grouped with the season 2 episodes given when it was released, it's production code and which box set it's on.

[Replicator Todd]

Rewatched this today, its my first time re-watching it as I originally saw this back in January of 2009(I watched all four seasons of Doctor Who that same month for the first time, thank you Netflix!). I loved it! But the portrayal of Ten seemed slightly different than how he appears later on....but it was so slight that it isn't much of a difference. The evil attacking Christmas Tree was just plain silly!

Is that CIN on any of the DVDs

It should be on the complete second series DVD.

I'll have to have a look at my set

[maneth]

Cool episode! Loved the sinister Santas, the killer Christmas tree and the creepy Sycorax. However, I'm not yet used to the new Doctor and miss CE.

I loved how he growled back at the Sycorax leader.....Then broke his staff. It was so ballsy
