Or was that one-off thing? The show needs it to tie the season together. I preferred the direction in season 1, where it was more about the Doctor, and less about references to the old series, although I suspect most people feel the other way.</p> Is there a chance that the Doctor will get another character arc?

I’d like to see the Doctor do a little more quiet anger, a la the “no second chances” moment, but that seems to have fallen by the wayside. Maybe next Doctor.

Still there were too many characters there trying to be funny. I didn’t mind the fat couple, as the doctor tends to befriend the working class and the poor, but the red alien was too much. While he had important plot information and Kylie did a good job with the clumsy exposition, he felt unnecessary. And then the Doctor got righteously angry again, this time about the deaths of the comedy sidekicks. I hope we can avoid that happening again this season.</p> Once I remembered what christmas specials were like, the annoying kiddy tone of the show bothered me less.
