Well, I just finished watching the Doctor Who Christmas Special, Church on Ruby Road. It was ok. Yes, it has LBGQ content but it didn't mess with the episode, like The Star Beast. Ruby seems like she'll make a good companion. She reminds me of a blond Clara. She bares a resemblance. I considered The Doctor wearing the skirt as him trying to fit in because he sensed Ruby's connection to the goblins and was keeping an eye on her, which worked.
As I said before, I'll give the new Doctor a few episodes before making a judgement in regard to him. All I'm going to say is he is very energetic, which is not a bad thing. So far the production is good. I found the writing interesting. I was entertained, but it didn't blow me away. It was ok.
