Christmas is more awesome with the Doctor!!!
Especially when I saw the house and the taps for hot water, cold water and LEMONADE!!!
"I know!" said the Doctor.
I was really excited for this Christmas episode because I really loved last year's A Christmas Carol. You know that feeling you have when you couldn't stay still and you just had to watch it?
So there I was, eating my Christmas sandwich and drinking some hot coco when suddenly tears burst forth from my eyes as I watched the Doctor Who Christmas Special. I wasn't expecting to cry at this... especially since it was a Christmas episode and it was supposed to be HAPPY! Would I ever learn? I said the same thing about last year's Christmas special too.
I cried so hard at the part when they went into the time vortex and the mother was remembering her husband, especially at the part when she said "Goodbye, my love," or something like that. I couldn't properly remember. Tears were running down my cheeks and I couldn't see or hear properly.
Damn you Christmas special! Making me cry when it's supposed to be a happy holiday!
And then the mother started telling her children about their father dying. The Doctor interrupts them (or the Caretaker rather, seeing as he was known as the Caretaker, the Doctor or Get the hell off this planet!) and tells the mom, Madge, that they should go take a look outside! It turns out that the pilot father got out alive and well, something to do with her guiding him out of the cloudy and dark skies through the light of the time vortex or something. I can't remember correctly, I just can't... gah... too many emotions!!!
The family reunion scene!!!
"It's Christmas, dear, where else would you be?"
And then they were all crying happy tears, and the Doctor was happy for them, saying that happy tears were so "human". I thought the torment would end there because I just could not take it anymore! Then when he was about to leave, Madge tells him to stay for Christmas but he disagrees, saying he was used to being alone. Madge convinces him to see his friends though and he agrees and so he leaves, telling her that if she ever needs him again, just "make a wish".
He goes to visit Amy and Rory after two years of pretending to be dead. At this point, my tear ducts weren't even trying to suppress my tears. And I couldn't drink my hot coco because I'd look ridiculous, drinking while crying. The Doctor and Amy hug, forgiving each other and Amy invites him to dine with them, since a place was already set for him. The Doctor says they didn't know he was coming, so why set a place for him.
"We always set a place for you," says Amy.
And then Amy and Rory go ahead inside, and the Doctor stands there for a bit rather awkwardly. He touches his cheek... and there are tears. Happy tears.
And I'm crying and laughing at the same time and I look fucking ridiculous, but I don't care. The Doctor's happy. After all the shit he'd been through, thinking he was all alone in the world... there was still a place for him to come home to. The Ponds will always welcome him back with open arms.
For once though, the box being referred to was not the TARDIS.
I'm crying while I'm typing this.
Are you happy now Moffat? Huh?!! Are you happy?!
This episode made me realize how lucky I am, being with my family this Christmas. It also made me feel how much I miss my dad (something I've been trying to ignore ever since I found out he couldn't spend Christmas with us this year). To my mom and dad: I LOVE YOU!!!
I had a really great time with the Doctor. I hope I continue to have great times with him...
...forever!!!
Happy crying everybody!
