Once again I am so happy I gave this teaser a bit of time. These are always intimidating, and always turn out to be worth a bit of focus. This one was a bit easier than some in the series, but equally clever an entertaining. I liked the seasonal reverence to Giant Elves (oxymoron?). I had no idea on the odo-thingy and had to eliminate the other for words and then figure out what kind of doctor fit. Very fun! This is probably my favorite series of teasers on the site.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got them all very quickly.
