The Christmas special was awful.
Correct.

The christmas special was a complete let down, in the adverts it looked quite cool.
I think they should return to the mondasian(our universe)cybermen,and ditch the petes-world(alternate universe)cybermen. 
Yeah there are only so many variations they can use around the whole, slipping from one Universe into another. It is supposedly impossible now without ripping all the dimensions apart and yet they still find contrived ways around it. They need to leave the Cybermen and Daleks alone now for awhile and work on either new villains or use updated old ones from previous series.
Sontarans are awesome, they should use them again one time.

Excuse me while my mind boggles at some of the comments here.
Awful? Compared to last year definitely not. Disappointing? Only in the case of the gross under-use of the Cybershades (such wasted potential). And the Cybermen overused? I'm putting my foot down here - they haven't been in the series for over 2 years. That hardly constitutes overuse in my book. Yes, I'd like to see our universe Cybermen again, but these guys still blummin' terrify me (they terrify me more than the Borg ever did. At least you can come back from being Borg). And the way they were brought back fitted in with established canon and wasn't an ass pull in the slightest (it also actually gave a legitimate reason for the Daleks returning as well, instead of them appearing from nowhere and it having to be explained [again]).
I also can't understand how any of you failed to be even slightly impressed by the dirty great steampunk Cyberman rampaging through Victorian London. That was quite possibly the most awesome thing I've seen on TV all year; if somewhat ridiculous, but I can see the logic behind it. Or the sight of all the Doctors in the infostamp.
I could carry on but this post would become a case of tl; dr. I'm curious to know exactly what you guys were expecting from it.
So as you can see, yes, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I think the under-use of the cybershades is just so that they can squeeze another cybermen episode out of the villain.
There will be a cybershade-centric episode.
Russel T Davies hinted that an old monster,the Nimon,would be returning.I've seen pics of them,it's gonna be hard to modernise them.
It was better than last years. (which really says something.)
Everyone I've spoken to so far who saw the episode thought exactly the same as me. It was such a stupid episode and way too far fetched.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the whole point of Doctor Who to be far-fetched and have things that are impossible and unbelievable happen? That's what makes it sci-fi/science fantasy. At least, those were the criteria last time I looked.
Now soap operas, those are far-fetched considering that they're set in the 'real world' (god, I hate that term).
Well tonight in about 10 minutes or so we all find out who the next Doctor is going to be. Tennant is going to be a very hard act to follow and whoever gets it, it won't be the same for me. I will still watch but I think a lot of the enjoyment will have gone from it. We shall see.
Matt Smith
He seems alright from those interviews. I guess we'll have to wait till 2010 to see how it goes.
I honestly just don't like him.
I honestly just don't like him.
That's what I thought about David Tennant when he was new.

He is way to young, and when he frowns he has really big creases across his forehead - he's like a young Gordon Ramsey.
Doctor Who needs to be an older man, not some kid that looks like he is fresh out of Uni, he just doesn't look believable.
Not happy
