10:08 Man when I heard that melody, I got so overwhelmed. My Doctor was back 💙

🎵🎶🎵🎶 EXCAPE IS NOT POSSIBLE 🗣🗣🗣 🎵🎶🎵🎶

3:14, 3:20 That music really sense that the next episode is Dalek.

4:33 I love they nodded to Russell’s previous show “Years and Years” with that music!

WHY ARE TIME AND SPACE....FIGHTING....THEY ARE NOW PORTRAYED AS CONSCIOUS ENTITYS....

CAN THE DOCTOR....FIX....HIS/HER OWN PAST....

THE "DOCTORS" SHE CAN'T REMEMBER....HOW MANY....IS THE SERIES GOING TO EXPLORE THE DOCTORS' PAST....

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE....WHAT HAPPENED TO RASSILON....HE'S STILL OUT THERE YOU KNOW....AND HE'S A TIMELORD SUPREME....

WAS THE FLUX SET UP TO COVER UP THE DIVISIONS' MISTAKES....

It, literally changes nothing about Claras ending..... What idiots said that, it's literally said in this episode By Clara that Her Time is still a fixed point, & to Gallifrey, the long way round. I mean, could you get more petic? But no, this is just controversial for some people who clearly don't like excellent dialogue & 2 of the best episodes ever. Seriously, what in the fork could be controversial about her story here, it literally changes nothing & inserts a whole literal universe of life for her iwth an immortal who also happens to be 1 of the most experienced beings in this universe, AND it leaves all of that for every person who watches imagination, & also leaves all of that alone at 1 in the same time

Yeah you shoulda known what bird meant but apparently nobody was listening to his dialogue, like that totally wouldn't matter, why would his, the only character of this episode, matter

he wasn't a good man. he was a GREAT one. :D

When doctor who was good! Not this new shite on Disney @ the moment!!

The prolonged opening with the synths really suit Capaldi's doctor somehow, even though he was a punk rocker and not a new waver.

In my opinion, this was simultaneously the best regeneration scene ever and the best introduction of a new Doctor.

35:00 casually sitting on Sutekh eating ice cream.

In my personal "headcanon" this is where Doctor Who ends. The Doctor died after blowing up the ship and sacrificing himself to save the others. A tragic end heroic ending. Very fitting for The Doctor. No Timeless child or Bi-generation nonsense. No gallifrey bring destroyed suddenly, off screen, after a decade long arc of its fall and restoration (no offense to people who like those stories, good for you frankly, I'm jealous) or general character assassination that I believe to have happened after this episode.

can you make the music from doctor who the poison sky where the doctor burns the sky please

Still the best season finale ever.

augh,, the music when they go into the new tardis always gets me choked up - as well as other parts of this ost - murray gold's music has always moved me immensely, ever since i discovered doctor who around 11 years ago, it's so full of atmosphere and energy that truly becomes an important part of the show - i had missed his music in doctor who, and it returning with RTD, Donna and 10 (technically 14 in these) is even more surreal and meant so much to me beyond words :,)

You guys’ podcasts are my favourite going

Everyone assumes it's his mum, because he's young and she's old. But what does that matter to timelords? Wilf asked who she was, and the Doctor looked to the bride. The time lady was his wife.

22:00 I like it too Elliot. I reckon fans who dislike Hell Bent would be more forgiving and probably enjoy the natural ending of 12 and Clara’s relationship is Gallifrey just wasn’t involved… like at all.

The characterisation and relationship dynamics between the Doctor and Ruby was practically nonexistent. It’s not that 8 episodes isn’t enough; it’s just not there in the scripts. They’ve just jumped ahead to being best buddies, with no development, no conflict and no challenges to their relationship.

Massive let down for me. Easily my least favourite of new who. The 8x45 format does not work with the monster of the week formula. Chibnall was right to do a serialised story when he had less than 10 episodes to work with. People like to slate Clara's character development in 7B as being nothing more than a plot device. But 7B and 14 has the same amount of episodes and 11/Clara is much more of a fully formed dynamic than 15/Ruby. Moments like in Hide when Clara sees the Earth being destroyed ("But here we are, talking. So I am a ghost. To you, I'm a ghost. We're all ghosts to you. We must be nothing.") I can't seem to work out what the relationship between 15 and Ruby is supposed to be. And the baffling decision to skip 6 months at the start of their journey is very counterintuitive. It completely fails as a "season one" jumping on point. Exposition is quickly dumped in the first 15 minutes of space babies so hastily. Compare it to how it was masterfully conveyed across series 1 2005. The focus on "Gods" and "experimental" episodes is odd for a relaunch where you are trying to gain mass appeal and get the general idea of the show across. And then having the cliff-hanger to the finale being a reference to a 50 year old story, where they have to literally watch the episode on a TV to keep the audience in the loop, is hilarious. The only episodes I really liked were Church on Ruby Road, Boom, Rogue and Legend of Ruby Sunday. Space Babies was just silly - now I like silly sometimes, but not as a pilot. Devil's Chord should have played into the whole idea of musicals more, instead of being a poor attempt at it. 73 Yads started off great (and Millie was amazing in it), but the second half really drags it down and was where I lost all momentum for the series. Dot and Bubble I had no desire to watch (after already having a Ncuti-light episode). Rogue was a return to form, with a more traditional episode and a good chemistry between Ncuti and Jonathan. Empire of Death was just dumb - so many questions and stupid decisions.

Overall I really enjoyed season 1! Space Babies wasn't the strongest season opener for many reasons, but I think it will become a fun episode to rewatch! The Devil's Chord really surprised me and maestro exceeded my expectations as the villain of the story! Boom was incredible, probably one of my favourite episodes in a long time! 73 Yards really showcased millie gibson as the companion ruby sunday, and ncuti's performance at the end of Dot and Bubble was incredible! Rogue was a fun period episode and I loved seeing ruby living her bridgerton dream! 😂 The season finale wasn't perfect, but it was the best season finale I've seen since probably series 10! My main criticism for season 1 is I wish that it was longer! 😊😊

Rogue doesn't feel much like a "standard Doctor Who episode" to me. Even after five rewatches, it still comes across as a dull period romance with a silly aliens story tacked on as an afterthought. After Empire of Death, Rogue gets my vote as the weakest story of the RTD2 era so far, and I still can't fathom out why so many people seem to like it. At least Space Babies was a laugh!

Seeing how loyal the Gallifreyan soldiers were to him in Hell Bent + his unorthodox methods and ruthlessness I wonder if the War Doctor was like Anakin Skywalker in some ways. More specifically, the Anakin from TCW

Hi, planning to do complete soundtracks for Season 1 episodes? :)

David Tennant was the best Doctor ever... and if I ever want to go the emotional rollercoaster ride, this episode will serve any time...

Hey does anyone know what the name of the music is that plays when the Doctor talks to River Song just before she teleports away?

I say the original script for this story, by Gerry Davis is billions of times better and it features Voga the planet of gold but with human gold miners not alien Vogans who were terrible. In the original story the planet of gold is only featured in part 3 and the human gold miners have welsh names and also the planet of gold in the original storyline is unnamed and also the human villain Kellman is awesome too and in the original story Kellman is double crossing the human miners on the asteroid and intending to steal as much gold as he can.

Karen and Arthur didn’t know they were being killed off till they walked on set that day and saw the script lol

4:42

I don't understand why everyone thinks seeing Capaldi is right! In the Christmas episode we learn he can't regenerate until the crack in the wall helps and then of course he regenerates I think seeing Capaldi ruined that story! (even though in the press we knew) btw I love PC as the Doctor!

"It’s never forgotten, Caecilius. Oh, time will pass. Men will move on, and stories will fade. But one day, Pompeii will be found again. In thousands of years. And everyone will remember you." Quoted by The Doctor to Caecilius as Caecilius, his family and Donna who mourn and weep while Caecilius and the Doctor talk while also watching Pompeii be covered up with volcanic ash.

I know this is a super old video but on Moffat’s era. I loved Doctor Who since I was 7 (I’m 18 now) and I loved most of modern Doctor Who and was obsessed with the it. Rewatching all these years later I very much still enjoy series 1-4 and the highs are absolutely brilliant. But the overall vision and tone doesn’t resonate as much with me now and I think if that’s all the modern show was it would be something where I still really like it for what it is but don’t think it’s as perfect as I did when I was young. Whereas series 5-10 I just bloody adore still. Has some downs (like the latter part of series 6) but overall it’s just so special to me and is really when it becomes the show I love and is the era that makes the show for me

27:33 THE DOCTOR'S THEME MY BELOVED

This scene was absolutely terrible...

i always wondered, why didnt the Time Lords just weaponise regeneration? Like here we see the Doctor blow up 2 Dalek attack scout ships AND a mother ship. And since Regereration can be unlimited (classic who we are told Rassilon and Omega limit others to 12 regenerations for their own control), just imagine Time Lords and Time Ladies stood regenerating over and over, blasting ships with their endless energy. And as for the whole "when they regenerate, they are unstable." Thats only the Doctor. We've seen the Master regenerate and be perfectly aware of who he is and how to fly a Tardis. We see The General change race AND gender and be fully aware (all be it racist and sexist about how being white and male isnt 'normal and right') So seems to just be a Doctor thing for slap stick humour.

23:23 "Back-Story and Mystery do not equal Character" "And that's all Ruby is" "It's a shame because I like Ruby's personality"😄

Could you do another version of this with all the variants in the new season?

Congrats on 50 episodes guys! I’m one of those listeners that doesn’t comment much, but I’m listening! Always look forward to hearing your thoughts after each episode!

The part at 2:24 really reminds me of Risk of Rain 2's music

How? Why? and thank you.

Absolutely ruined by him trying to look knowingly into the camera at key points, fake and annoying.

Ahaha I am like her I hope for river first every season too <3

2:07 😎

Jesus, woman, knock out that bespectacled spoiler

You guys are very kind to this episode.
