Blogmas 2016: D
Hello
again all and welcome to Part D of Blogmas 2016, which will be all about the
Doctor Who Christmas Special.
THE
RETURN OF DOCTOR MYSTERIO PREVIEW
Doctor
Who’s annual Christmas special is a huge event for me and millions of other
Whovians around the world, and has become an integral part of Christmas itself.
Whilst everyone else has the thing that they want to watch in our house on
Christmas Day, this is my show, my thing if you like. Not only does it give me
something to look forward to for the 25th, it also bridges the gap
between the series, the last of which was over a year ago, and the next of
which is in April (MOFFAT!).
Now,
down to this year’s special itself. You can view the clips released so far on
the links below, otherwise what I say next might not make much sense.

I
have to admit that when I first saw what this episode was going to be about, it
filled me with dread.
Firstly,
what is with the ridiculous title? I know that in some parts of the world,
Doctor Who is known as Doctor Mysterio but I feel as though this is a cheesy
name for an episode, and not quite what I’d expect.
I
am also not a huge fan of the idea of bringing superheroes into the Whoniverse,
as it just doesn’t feel like it fits with what Doctor Who is all about. Maybe it
will prove to somehow be linked to time and space in the same way that conventional
and PROPER episodes of Doctor Who should be. In a way, it just seems like the
show’s creators are catering to what is current, with so many new superhero
movies out in recent years. Superheroes are somewhat trendy right now and I feel
like this is the driving force behind this episode, rather than writing a good episode
of the show we all know and love.
Rest
assured, I do have something positive to say about this episode. I think that
perhaps deviating from the standard kind of story we are used to will make this
episode unique. Particularly over the last few years, some of the stories have
been lacking in individuality, and I myself have been crying out at times for a
bit of uniqueness or just for something a bit different to the standard
episodes.
As
a dedicated Whovian, I shall watch despite my scepticism because I will never
give up on Doctor Who. I am committed to staying part of this fandom no matter
what happens.
I
will be writing a review of the episode which will be up on the 27th
December, so you have that to look forward to.
