26:20 To be very fair to the creature its whole thing is copying and learning from what it saw. So its first thing copied personality wise was the prideful,prejudice humanity who immediately only thought of helping themselves. The creature saw humans worrying about their survival so it did the same making it have to take drastic measures to ensure it stayed alive just as they were willing to do with the door. The dad was making it about them vs us so the creature immediately saw its self as its own side so it thought i gotta get the attention on someone else. So it did making the Doctor the main focus so everyone would see it as on their side. The humans that took offence to being called dumb showing pride now the creature is feeling pride in the fact it has tricked them. These people who consider themselves intelligent it has tricked them! I think thats why it asked the professor to pick it up first. It was seeing if it could get the smartest man in the room other than the doctor to fall for the trick first and he did. And the fear it was copying was the driving emotion of it all its hiding it for the trick but it clearly feared the cold and the dark of the outside.

I just realized this now after seeing this episode a few dozen times, but when the Doctor says "Who?" the script would read, "The Doctor: Who?" lol.. yeah I really need a hobby or something. Excellent reaction though! I really love how invested you get. It reminds me of the first time I saw these episodes. Matt is definitely my favorite.

I never understood why the detective guy would just walk over to the angels when they were clearly not there 2 seconds ago. He was supposed to be smart. I would have freaked out and ran for it. You don't just walk over to a bunch of weird statues that appeared out of nowhere lol.. I mean this is Doctor Who so I guess my point is invalid. Still.. it's Doctor Who so..... run. lol

That "fantastic" from Jack got me.

Great reaction as always! Can't wait to see what you think of Season 2!!!

Yes, I love how all the puzzle pieces (the characters) come together to save the world at the end and everyone plays his or her part and that it is all about how love of various types saves the world.

They switched appearances. Because if Crowley were in Aziraphale's body in Heaven, the hellfire would still have destroyed him, and if Aziraphale were in Crowley's body in Hell, the holy water would still have destroyed him.

He was more like a figure like Captain Nemo.

Maybe Agnes knew Anathema would burn the book and all the pages were blank

Thank you for sharing these with us.

In the book the final fight has a bit more too it, Adam crafts rival items for his friends from twigs, so he creates a sword, crown and scales for his friends to weild against the horseman and empowers them so when it makes contact with the relevant horseman it disapates them. Basically using the kids imagination of play against these adult manifestations. There's also a rival gang of kids in the village that Adams group has conflicts with and Adam remarks how heaven and hell are just 2 rival gangs like his group and the other group of kids.

Anathema's wardrobe had no right to go this hard.

Although I like the body swapping thing, I also find it a bit unlikely that heaven and hell would be tricked by something simple as their earthly appearance.

The four horsemen were easily defeated by Adam’s friends, because Adam took their powers away before the one on one cofrontation. Adam’s power was the ability to change reality by just saying it. Actually, by saying Satan had never been his father, he also took away his own power.

I think it is the ex hellhound who still retains some of his powers rather than Adam.

All of Agnes' predictions came true, so she would have known Anathema would end up burning the second book. So she would sent the book specifically for Anathema to burn, most likely as a kick start for Anathema to move on.

You're the only person I've seen, heard of, or read about who guessed the body swap before it was revealed.

He didn't wipe the devil from existence, just from his parentage.

I won't compare her with Caroline at all, since I grow to dislike Caroline over the years, while I don't hate anything about 10th Doctor

Idk, I felt really disconnected from this story. I often just go with the flow and accept whatever happens but the ending took me right out. The sudden narrating that wasn't present anywhere else in the episodes, the punishments that seemed dissproportionate. I was also not invested at all in the characters, I didn't really get a grasp on who they were.

I don't think the New Paradigm Daleks are bad, but I do wish they were handled better.

At the time, the copy of this episode that was given to the press for reviews DID NOT have the Rose scene at all to prevent spoilers.

I love the Cybermen and Daleks roasting each other lol

"I like angry Doctor!" exactly my thoughts😁😁😁

Geez that mic being awful is hurting my ears

The highlight for me is the editing.

did you do Planet of the Dead ????

Eccleston's acting is so impactful, I miss him honestly.

It's not just about how people can be affected by their own fear and turn violent, but also about how easily they can be manipulated. At first the Doctor was a beacon of hope for the group and they all saw it... mostly. But then, as soon as a little seed of doubt was planted, the mob mentality took over and they were manipulated to the point where they saw him as the bad guy. This is an extremely important point that the episode was making: How quickly and easily can someone manipulate us due to our fear and ignorance? Are any of us immune to that..?

The behind the scenes images are pretty spectacular. David was in a burning building. They had flames shooting out of gas jets. There was CGI enhancement, but a lot of the flames were real.

This episode does grow on you. Sorta like a fungus. Or an absorbaloff’s…absorbing…juice?

Always wild to me that they essentially killed 2 random, innocent dudes, to save 1 Skye. Lol yeah the guys shot at them, but they were the ones invading and stealing. Poor Guest House crew

I like this episode. The segments of connected story are neat

Apparently Gaiman and Pratchett had discussed a sequel before Pratchett died so the second and third series are based on that discussion. A cynic might say that was just marketing bullcrap, but I don't think Gaiman does marketing bullcrap (he barely does marketing, he's just like "hey, I've got a new thing" and all us fans eat it up).

Never understood Poe being killed so fast for seemingly no reason

Ngl if the doctor trapped me in virtual reality with my coworkers I’d be a bit miffed

When I was watching this with my friends, they kept putting this off because they thought 10 would die and they weren’t ready for it. I had to swear up and down he didn’t die in the finale to get them to watch it. So imagine their faces at the end of this one and mine at the start of the next 😂

I love that the 2 most important things are the 2 things you care about after this episode. The characters and what’s up with Coulson’s death

Karen Gillan accidentally ran her hand up Matt Smith’s thigh during the filming of the end scene 😂 Also don’t see this as Amy wants the Doctor instead. Clearly she meant a one time thing.

Matt Smith chose the 11th Doctor’s outfit. Bow ties are cool! Personally I think this is the best looking Tardis. All lit up with glass floors. Hot cold ketchup mustard 😂 I think Amy is the best companion too. Did you notice Amy didn’t say “It’s bigger on the inside.”

One aside. The whole leaving "bakes on" comment is complete hogwash, done for laughs. Every TARDIS makes some version of that grinding sound when it dematerializes and rematerializes, from the Doctor's to the Rani's (classic series) to the Master's (classic series). There's no way that the Master pilots his TARDIS with the "brake" on.

donna has always been my 2nd most favorite companion, only passed by sarah jane. (i saw old Who and sarah jane was with both the 3rd and 4th Drs for a while)

Coyote ugly? Seriously? They look nothing alike but I can see why u think that same hair kinda lool

You probably didn't notice with all the other distractions, but there is something strange going on with the Doctor's jacket in this episode.

Yay! This is the episode that got me soooo hooked on WandaVision. And then the story continues...

As the end comes closer the horsemen start to take on more more of their characteristics and lose their human forms, in the book it's far more pronounced with wars teeth turning into pullets and her limbs in to guns, famine becomes more gaunt and pollution literally starts to melt. They also cut the other 4 horsemen who were bikers who ran into the horsemen realised who they were and decided to ride with them for a while, i can see why it was cut as it didn't really add anything and would probably have not fit in with the pacing.

you have literally 5 years worth of seasons to get the full river story. don't even try to figure it out right now. lmao

I take Adams Semitic h back so quickly to be about the very humanness of him. And the reality of being 11.

Most of us have seen this episodes a 'zillion' of times, we know what happens, what is being said, so to get to see your reaction is really why I'm here for, so it's okay if I have to see it in mirror and text overlayed or even without image and only sound or vica versa, it's all good, as long as you feed us your first reaction, just like we experienced it ourself the first time ... sort of.
