Did anybody else go see the latest Christmas special via Fathom events? We saw it at our local theater a few nights ago. I thought it was pretty good. The Ghost superhero was rather silly, but it was intentionally so and I have to admit he was pretty fun. All the little nods and references to the superhero genre made it clear this was a labor of love in honor of comic books and not some cheeky mockery of the genre. And the aliens were pretty cool. I feel like I've seen them before, but can't place them off the top of my head. Either way, they were cool villains. Peter Capaldi is still a great Doctor. He's really giving Tennant a run for top spot as my personal favorite. "I brought snacks...". Haha, that still cracks me up. I'm curious to see how Matt Lucas turns out in the new season. He wasn't terribly impressive in this episode, imo. But at the same time, there were a few moments where he shined that gave a glimpse into how cool he could be if they do a good job with the writing.
Now I'm looking forward to the new season!
