oh look, it's a post about Doctor Who - first time in almost a decade

I wasn't going to watch the new Doctor Who special, but then I got spoiled for a returning character and my interest was piqued. And apparently the thing I would hope for in regards to this character does, in fact, happen in some way. Also, this is on Disney+ and I'm subscribed to that platform for the moment, which makes the whole thing feasible in a timely* fashion.
*unintentional, but amusing

However: I haven't watched Doctor Who since midway through Eleven's time. And having checked the "previously on" section of this episode, it seems like it might be a good idea to watch the Christmas special from last year in order to get needed context. But maybe I shouldn't bother at all, not even with the new episode? IDK!
