Pass/Fail: 


### Lead
This looks good! Maybe, I would just replace "BBC1" with "BBC One" for consistency, but it's just a pet peeve...  Done


### Plot
Just to be clear, articles about movies and specific episodes don't need any direct citations, do they? I admit I don't have much experience with these topics...
Per MOS:PLOTCITE
Anyway, this should be alright, too; maybe, just a few minor fixes are needed ("On Christmas Eve of 1992", "in 2016, together with Nardole",  "it would fall on New York"). It could be useful to add a wiki-link to the "TARDIS", as well.  Done


### Production
The opening phrase in the "Filming" paragraph could use a smoother connection ("was directed by Ed Bazalgette, who had previously served as director for series 8 episodes...")  Done
I would make a few minor corrections at the phrase "in New York City; ultimately, fabricated sets were built".  Done
Just to avoid redundancy, I would connect some phrases at the start of the "Writing" paragraph, like this: "Although the story was developed as a loose sequel to the 2015 Christmas special, "The Husbands of River Song", the episode featured very few Christmas elements."  Not done
I feel as if the wording was somewhat misleading as it implies that THORS had more Christmasy elements
Ditto for "It contains several references to comic books, most prominently Superman, of whom Grant has roughly the same standard powers, including flight, super-strength, super-speed, being bulletproof, and possessing X-ray vision."  Done
The phrase about Nardole in the "Casting" paragraph sounds a bit fuzzy... Could you re-word a bit more clearly, please?  Done
Within Doctor Who "companion" refers to a specific type of characters that travel with the Doctor. previously Nardole was just there.


### Release
Just a few minor fixes needed at the "Critical reception" paragraph, in my opinion ("praising the performance of Peter Capaldi and describing the episode", "out of a possible five, saying that Capaldi [...], and that Matt Lucas", "a positive review of the episode, writing that", "In a milder review, IGN wrote that the episode was 'a lightweight entry'").  Done


### References
All of the refs should be alright! Just make sure that every link is accompanied by an archived URL, so they're not at risk of being lost forever overnight.
The Copyvio Detector reported a possible violation of the IGN source, but that seems to be largely based on casual repetitions of the episode's title, so don't worry about it!
@OlifanofmrTennant: Ok, here are my thoughts... finally. I must say that, despite not being familiar with Doctor Who at all, it was a very nice read, and the article generally looks good, aside of my previous suggestions. Sorry again for being so late in reviewing this. Oltrepier (talk) 21:23, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

@OlifanofmrTennant: I've done a few minor corrections myself, but I think we're finally good to go. Thank you for submitting this article, and for agreeing to review mine! Oltrepier (talk) 11:38, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
