This past week, I've been reviewing some of my favorite Christmas specials and today, on Christmas, we come to the most recent Christmas special, Twice Upon a Time, featuring the First and Twelfth Doctors.
I love this episode. It's probably one of the ones I've watched the most times. It also serves as the end of Series Seven and Matt Smith's final regular episode. As a warning, this review will contain spoilers for this story.
This is my absolute favorite Christmas special Doctor Who has ever done. It's a truly wonderful story, and has so much heart to it. This truly is a phenomenal episode. I didn't think much of it the first time I watched it but since then, I've grown to love the story and count it as one of my favorite episodes. The ending is the closest that Doctor Who has ever brought me to crying with the crushing fate of Abigail and how Kazran has aged so much because he can't bring himself to release her.
I really liked how Kazran's character develops throughout the story. It's really nice to see how the Doctor's interference in his life changes him for the better and the effects that has on him. In addition, all of the actor who played him did a wonderful job and captured the different stages of the character really well. The flying fish were a really unique idea and I liked the way the story used the two halves of the sonic screwdriver throughout the story. Overall, this is a truly enjoyable episode that I plan to watch every year around Christmas. |
