I’m mostly impressed that this alien romance was also a Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol retelling.

And like, quite a good one. There were so many references (we even had a Tiny Tim); three events that got to the heart of the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future; and it was more anti-capitalist than I’d dared hope for.

I just wish we’d had more of a sci-fi alien culture. The Dickensian vibes might have gone a bit far, for me (these aliens had fireplaces and ice skating, for example). I don’t like my alien societies to be this brought down to earth, so to say.

But the festive-ness was off the charts and who knew Scrooge (or should I say Skruj) would be this bang-able? 

Next time you’re looking for a holiday alien romance, I'd say make it this one!
