This episode was a mess. The plot was incoherent, and at times, so contrived that it was cringe-inducing. Jenna Coleman got ejected back to Earth how many times? Then she's back, and then she's gone again. And there's Christmas dinner, because it's Christmas, and some relatives we don't get to know. The story just seemed random.
The last ten minutes were decent. The doctor said his goodbyes, and the figurative ghost of Amy Pond appeared. The time spent before that, with the doctor guarding a town named Christmas while collecting crayon drawings, didn't make much sense. It played as though it was a shoehorned idea that was out of place.
The script for the last episode sending off Matt Smith should have been epic. Instead, we have this story that came off like the product of a drunken night of screen writing with no sense of pacing and consistency.
