So this year, we had a superhero themed special which turn out to be quite fun.  It is, however recommended that you at least watch the previous Christmas special or certain references won't make as much sense.  It isn't technically necessary though.

The return of Nardole as a companion was unexpected, but I liked him.  It's about time we had another alien companion.  The preview for next season shows him remaining as the Doctors secondary companion for at least a few more episodes.  I hope he stays a while.

Not sure what else to say.  It follows some typical superhero conventions, nothing really surprising, but puts it in a very fun Dr. Who scenario.
I am the cat that walks by himself, all ways are alike to me.

I enjoyed it.  It had a very classic superhero feel, more so than a lot of full-on superhero stuff lately.  I like Nardole better here than in last years' special (though I think last year's special was stronger).  Still, a nice bit of Doctor Who before the 10th series coming in 2017.
