*shudder* I don' t know what it is about Matthew and Mary getting flirty that makes me want to throw up. I know they were the UST-y couple in the show for a while and that loads of people shipped them, but it just didn' t work for me.
The new interior is definitely cooler in its colour palette. You' re right about the emotional parallel, too.
It' s sad,but I think I' m watching DW these days more from habit. I find the Big Finish stuff much more satisfying. Moffat should hire some of their writers.
I actually liked this Christmas episode more than any other from the Moffat era; at least Matt Smith wasn't acting like a hyperactive mentally deficient child. And yes, Clara is awfully Moffaty, but her acting is certainly a lot stronger than Gillan's, and maybe her "mystery" will be more interesting. Or will at least pay off in some way, which a lot of Moffat's stuff doesn't. I didn't want to punch anyone in the face at the end of it, anyway, and I think I'm going to enjoy the two of them together more than I liked him with the Ponds.
As for Downton Abbey, that show cracks me up. Every scene is just people stating exactly what's on their minds at the given moment. A complete lack of subtext. And yes, Matthew is... Matthew. I cannot fathom why people find that actor or that character interesting at all.
I' m glad you found something to like in The Snowmen. I agree with you about JLC - she seems more accomplished as an actress, but yes, the character is your typical Moffat female.
I don' t get Matthew/Dan Stevens either. I still haven' t seen DA, although I know what happens at the end/ and saw that I TTV actually put out a statement to explain why it happened!

The new TARDIS interior is very pretty, but seems to lack warmth and heart. In that way it parallels beautifully with this show's era.
