The relationship turns the Doctor into an asshole. The relationship it’s self is so bipolar.
Clara brings out the worst in the Doctor, and The Doctor brings the worst in Clara. It feels like the Doctor and Clara are that married couple who at one moment are at each other’s throats then they get all nice to each other. The Doctor has had some troublesome companions that give him headaches but Clara is a witch. The Doctor’s and Clara’s relationship is a huge negative. Honestly, this episode should have had Nick Frost/Peter Capaldi team up, and not Frost leading the Doctor and Clara into a dark nightmare dream on Christmas Day. Frost’s punch line’s did work like saying “Santa’s bag was bigger on the inside” like the TARDIS thus the reason why Santa can carry so many presents. Nick Frost is one of the most hilarious and recognizable British comedians in the world, and Moffat gave him little screen time. Frost’s introduction in the episode was pretty hilarious and his banter with the Doctor was great. Santa Clause (spoiler alert) is the Doctor’s, Clara’s, and the other four member’s subconscious. Nick Frost was a great Santa Clause in this episode however, he is severely underutilized and misused. The next negative about the episode is Nick Frost. It will be the Colin Baker years all over again. Moffat, I’m begging you as a fan, the current direction of Doctor Who is going to kill Doctor Who again. It feels like all of the animosity between Clara and The Doctor dissipates at the end of the episode. The writing of his episode was horrendous and had no interesting storyline what so ever. Clara is forced to choose between a dream state where her dead boyfriend is with her or the Doctor. All three cast members are in a dream state and this is episode was no different. Amy’s Choice is about Amy Pond being in a dream state being forced between the Doctor or her fiancée, Rory Williams. Amy’s Choice was a episode written by Simon Nye but again executive producer approves storylines before writers write the episode. Moffat seems to lost his magical and creativity because he rips off a previous Doctor Who’s plot, the face hugger from Alien, and steals plot twists from inception with the Doctor and Clara being in a multiple dreams within each other. It turned out to be a special season with clever writing and deep heartfelt moments between the Doctor and companions. Steven Moffat took over as show runner in the fifth season.
The biggest elephant in the room is the writing and how it is progressively getting worst every season. However, the Santa Clause (Nick Frost) shows up to save Doctor and Clara but no one can explain why Santa Clause is even there. The Doctor calls them Dream Crabs that eat your brain. The Doctor and Clara find creatures, which are a rip off of the Alien Facehugger, have taken over four scientists. The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and his bipolar companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) heading to the North Pole. Honestly, the BCC has to address the main problem of Doctor Who which is Steven Moffat because his direction of the show will alienate fans with the Doctor being such an ass along his companion. The episode is not only boring and has a shift of tones throughout the plot but a complete rip off of 1979’s Alien. The newest episode of Doctor Who is mind bending boring. The new episode “Last Christmas” where the Doctor meets Santa Clause should be extremely fun, right? The complete opposite happens. The Doctor Who Christmas Specials are particularly fun, exciting, and sometimes introduces a new doctor or is a regeneration episode.
