The Snowmen was probably my least favorite of Matt Smith's Christmas specials. Although the Doctor's melancholy after the loss of Amy and Rory was probably unavoidable, but still wasn't very entertaining to see. The Great Intelligence, as I've said before, wasn't particularly compelling as a villain, despite Ian McKellen's brilliant acting. The Paternoster Gang was the highlight of the episode, and Strax's scenes with the memory worm were priceless. :)
