Overall: (4.5/5)
Plot: A Victorian woman called Clara meets a man called the doctor who has a time machine. The doctor is upset after he lost his friends so he stays in London to get away from it all. While that is happening there is something lurking in the snow.
Characters: Clara is a Victorian barmaid/governess who meets the doctor at the beginning of the episode. Vastra and Jenny return again but this time with the Sontaran Strax. They help the doctor find out about the monsters hidden in the snow. Captain Latimer (Tom Ward) doesn't want to talk about his childrens nightmares.
Enemies: This episode has 5 star enemies played by the talented Richard E. Grant and Sir Ian McKellen. Grant plays the evil Dr. Simeon who is trying to take over with his evil machine. McKellen plays the great intelligence who creates snowmen to take over. My lone complaint is that they are very underused. The story focuses on Clara instead of the enemies.
Effects: Snow is all I have to say. This episode is full of snow. If you have seen the episode you will know why I am putting snow under the effects column. Not just snow but a snow governess.
Overall: This episode is marvelous. I highly reccomend it to anyone.
