I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, I know some people have moaned about this episode but I just can't see what's bad about it. This episode is one of my favourite Christmas episodes because I just loved everything about it; the setting, the characters, the effects and of course the monsters. I loved the concept of the 'host' who I found REALLY scary when I first watched it, their blank faces remind me of the robots in 'robots of death', the way they look so beautiful but can turn so deadly and their body's all remind me slightly of the weeping angels but these seem more fragile. We get to see how they attack which is by pulling of their halo and throwing it which is pretty much genius because halo's are often thought as a good thing but here we see it as a bad thing. I would have loved to see the host again but I guess like the weeping angels it would ruin the effect they first had when we first met them. The setting was also genius, what other show can you set the episode on a spaceship that looks like the Titanic but from the future? I loved the characters; the tenth doctor was amazing as usual but I thought the real star was Astrid as played by Kylie Minogue. Everything about her character was amazing and she played some really emotional scenes perfectly and the way she died by sacrificing herself was sad but great writing. Overall a super episode with a super plot and super effects.
