Having Capaldi save the day without his memory would be a heroic deed. The episode was okay. But I think following so close after the 50th didn't help. The need to add a Christmas tone likely didn't help. It it will be interesting to see how they present Capaldi. Smith was an old man in a young body. Capaldi's Doctor will be the oldest Doctor, possibly by a few hundred years. But he's also the first in a new set of regens. So he might feel young despite his apperance.</blockquote>
