Hi garagesale,the christmas Dr Who special was good,i wont give anything away as i dont want to spoil it for anyone!
It was nice to see the Dr back,yes and to see Kylie in the mix to,not a bad story but i didnt like the HOST's that much,Daleks would of been better,that's me being bias,the ending was good,had me thinking the baddie was someone else until he was revealed.
All in all it was quite good,hope you enjoy the christmas special.
Were the gold-guys Axons ?
I wont get mad if you tell me

No they are robots called Host's who give out information about the ship they are traveling on and stuff like that.Originally Posted by type1kirk

One last question ........
Does this story refer back to any classic series episodes where the "Titanic" is mentioned, specifically "The Invasion of Time" ?

I dont know to be honest as i dont think i have watched "The Invasion of Time" is that with Tennant or Ecclestone?
I just watched the whole episode.
It's on youtube.......
spoiler talk below -----------------------
The new theme song is a bit strange.
I don't like the begining beat of it.
The beat sounds off --like its out of tune.........
One thing I do like..... VERY subtle.
Right after the oooo--eee---ooo part.......
The sound drops to a low pitch feedback ooo, not heard since I think the Troughton days.
At the end of the episode..... when Tennant enters the TARDIS....
Theres a very low THUD.
This is classic pre lift-off sound on the old series.
I'm glad to see the thud return.
The episode itself, I thought was kind of mediocre.

The character ASTRID is an anagram of TARDIS maybe Astrid was playing a living part of the TARDIS as a 1 off for xmas?
Didnt notice the music,may have to watch it again,as its worth a 2nd look.
Spoilers:
Rumors that were circulating had Astrid as a human avatar of the TARDIS (or something like that), but they didn't seem address it in the episode...Perhaps they dropped the idea or maybe there were very subtle hints that I didn't catch. If she was some sort of humanoid part of the TARDIS, she didn't seem to be aware of it.
I really liked the episode (even though it was kind of sad)...The Host reminded me of the killer robots of Robots of Death (I think they were meant to, though). There were homages galore in the special (ship disaster flicks, other Doctor Who episodes, etc...)...A lot of folks(on other message boards) are ripping the special apart for the homages (calling them rip-offs), but I thought it was great. Kylie was quite good as I thought she would be (she has had a bit of acting experience here and there). I started getting teary when Foon's husband died and then Foon herself. I lost it when Astrid died (there are rumors that she might be back) and sobbed...LOL...I couldn't help it.

As you probably now know, Mike...The episode didn't involve the historic Titanic.
