    I'm super excited for it! I wish I could find a way to convince my family that it's must-see viewing, but I suspect that I'll have to DVR it and watch it another day. What are your theories on Clara/Oswin? I can't wait to find out more.

    What are your theories on Clara/Oswin?

    I definitely think she's the same person. I thought so before the prequel/preview, but now I'm convinced. My theory is that at the point of her appearence in the Dalek episode she's already been traveling with the Doctor. The Doctor is the one who figures out how to hack the Dalek information network and feeds her voice in through the communication system, and she's not ACTUALLY a Dalek. That "Run, you clever boy. And remember." and the look she gives, oh yes, she knows him. And if she was actually a Dalek the whole time, how did her voice sound human through the comm system? I guess it could be her telepathic voice, and she still sounds human in her head.

    I know a lot of people are thinking they pulled another River and showed us her death before they showed us her introduction, but I don't think they would do that again, A. because we might expect it, and B. because it would make River's death less special somehow.

    I bought myself this Dalek Christmas shirt today. I just hope it gets here by Christmas. I'm so excited for it! I don't even like holiday stuff and I'm pretty sure I'll wear it every day.

    I got that one, too! Well, the one from teefury, which has the evil snowflakes, so...yah! I liked it more than the second one that showed up from a different website (Quertee, I think!)

    Who else is loving the new look of the TARDIS control room? I think it looks super awesome and I can't wait to see it on Christmas Day.

    I definitely like that it's less whimsical. It was getting a bit silly with the faucet knobs and grammophone parts, which worked when the Doctor was silly and happy, but now that he's gotten a bit more grim, the functional console works. And it looks so much more like the old school console from back in the old series, and the Gallifreyan lettering at the top is gorgeous.

    I'm excited to see the Doctor's new wardrobe too. I wonder if we'll get to see his actual new costume, or just his Victorian garb?

    I heard a teaser that the opening sequence will be more like the old series, I wonder if it will have Matt's face?

    Thoughts?!

    I LOVED it! Absolutely adored it! And I love Clara already, though I really hope they don't have her and the Doctor get involved romantically. What about River???

    I adored it as well! Fantastic ep! I can't wait to watch it again!

    I really think I'm going to like Clara/Oswin as well. She is so spunky and seems to match wits with the Doctor very easily! (I want to be her when I grow up) lol

    Agreed! She'll definitely keep him on his toes. I can see a lot of playful banter in their future.

    Halfway through, my brother turned to me and said, "I like her already." I couldn't agree more. The second half of series seven should be fantastic.

    Super cute! I thought the snowmen were legit scary, if I had seen that as a kid it would have been a good scare.

    I am a HUGE River/Doctor shipper and I was initially put off by that kiss but I've been thinking that it's fine - she's just flirty, he flailed, per usual, and maybe he doesn't see River very often. I'd hope he would, though, because River is supposed to look after him (Amy's wish!)

    I want to see Clara/Oswin meet River SO BAD. :D

    New to the group...long time Whovian. I actually spent the night at my mom's house in order to celebrate Whomas. Watched the marathon leading up to the special all day. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Jenna-Louise. She is an awesome actress who totally plays off Matt's Who very well. As for the character of Clara Oswin Oswald, all I can say is AWESOME! I laughed then cried with her as Souffle Girl, but now that there is more, I find myself wanting more and more and more. April can NOT get here soon enough. I also totally agree about the new TARDIS interior. The previous look was too Seussian in my opinion. Now it is more Who. I love the fact that they are showing the movement of dials on the roof with the lettering. Very cool.
