Review of The Christmas Invasion by KieranCooper

28 March 2025

2025 Rewatch

  • I don't know what this episode is about, but I have no interest in it. As a Christmas episode or a general story, it's not one for me
  • The Sycorax are cool; they look awesome! But I dare say wasted a little, they make demands stand around and one of them battles the Doctor, yeah? okay cool
  • I always wonder about the creative choice behind creating Harriet Jones, making her a likable character, then making her unlikable or have the Doctor take a different approach to her
  • I would feel slightly hypocritical for liking Castrovalva for having the 5th Doctor out of action, but I found this a strange concept to have the doctor out of it for a bit, considering the shorter runtime. I know it's Tennant, and he commands any room he walks into. It just feels a little unnecessary
  • How is it that the Sycorax know to attack the Tyler family with Christmas-themed robots, Santas, and a tree? a little bit on the nose and fun, but I don't buy it lol
