![]() The romance comes all wrapped up in a ripping caper storyline. Of course, we don’t know that’s what it is at first. After the intensity and complexity of the last few episodes (Clara’s dead! The Doctor is tortured for billions of years! Gallifrey’s back! So’s Clara! Sort of!), it feels like the perfect gift. No, this year, instead of giving us a Christmas-themed story, the writers instead decided to give us all a Christmas present: the missing final chapter in the love story of the Doctor and River. River Song makes her appearance in a red cloak trimmed in white, but then it’s never seen again. The Doctor shows up wearing holographic antlers, but just for a second. But I do enjoy when the Christmas aspect of the seasonal special is a bit lower-key, as in this year’s installment, “The Husbands of River Song.” The episode begins and ends with scenes set during Christmas, but it’s almost coincidental, and has no real effect on the plot.
