I speak about this in the outro, but I don't think many people watch up to that point as I'm getting a LOT of comments about the Christmas Special and Born Again Minisode so I wanted to write it here so everyone is aware 😊 The next episode is the Christmas Special at the same time as normal. Before then, as a bonus episode, will be the minisode. So yes, don't worry! They are both coming and on the way 💜
Thank you to everyone for sharing so much time with me over the course of this first, and FANTASTIC, season. Here's to many more 🥰
Many Doctor Who adventures await you lol if you have a tissue box might want to keep it handy you'll need it
The next dr is David tennant (he played a baddie in a Harry Potter movie) his time in the role brought the show to its very peak in terms of ratings and awards, its also the beginning of its rapid expansion into the USA... finally, it was so popular at this time, it spawned many spin off shows in which the Dr occasionally appeared, Dr who confidential, torchwood, Sarah jane adventures and totally Dr who.... it was also the start of the Dr who proms at the Albert Hall, where actors of the show introduce the music from the show and during the music, aliens emerged and walked amongst the audience...
Back in classic Dr who it was hinted that each regeneration of the Dr is a different facet/personality trait of his time lord "whole"....
It's a shame you were spoiled about this being Eccleston's last episode - and the fact that there even are other Doctors. I guess it's something so fundamental to the show that a lot of people don't even see it as a spoiler.
But good to know the minisode and Christmas special are on your radar.
We all lose it when the doctor changes, every time. It's a testament to the quality of the show.
Chris was my first doctor. I was a mess when he regenerated. As much as I love David's doctor it's just sad to think what Chris could have done in the role if things hadn't turned out the way they did.
@@Alucia0 True :'/
Every “era” of Doctor Who is someone’s favourite, but for every new era to begin a previous incarnation has to end. As a fan you need to accept that. In fact, I think the absolutely committed fan should revel in that. Doctor Who is a show which not only survives change, it’s powered by change.
Oh yeah, although the end of the current era turns me into a blubbering mess the most. 10 to 11 is... very bittersweet.
It’s such a clever device!
When the Doctor regenerates his personality does change with his look. But the core of his personality, his Kindness remains.
Seven was kind of a dick, though.
@@StarkRG do you mean six? Seven was very compassionate, towards both his companions and the various strangers they helped along the way.
@@CaseyTyler357 No, I definitely mean seven, the guy who brought Ace to the location of one of her most traumatic childhood experiences. He started off ok, but they quickly started writing him as dark and brooding with little compassion for anyone.
Regenerations are so unique to Doctor Who. No other show matches the emotional whiplash of a 'death' and introduction of a new protagonist in the span of a few seconds.
Fun fact about the episode title:
"The parting of the ways" is the chapter in Harry Potter 4 where Barty Crouch Jr dies. Played by David Tennant.
"The parting of the ways" is the episode where Doctor 10 appears. Played by David Tennant.
"I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself" Rose is kind of scary when she's all-powerful.
And so passes the Ninth Doctor. He was the first Doctor I experienced and will always hold a special place in my heart.
But now David Tenet is here as the Tenth Doctor and we're in for a wild ride. I can't wait!
Allons-y!
I wonder if Rose was conscious of the things she was saying in that moment? Does she remember?
I love Christopher as well. He seemed so happy. It was such a joyful part he played, but I also found him to have a perfect hidden "creepy" side, too. Onto the next Doctor!
@@julesreacts I don't think she remembered all she'd done which was why they left Jack. It's not a minisode but a short thing where they have a little conversation after this which they did for a charity telethon called 'Children in Need' you should watch before the Xmas show.
When I watched it with my nephews one of them said "She went full Dark Phoenix there!"
@@julesreacts Not sure if you've Patreoned this and heard all about it already.... Christopher has said firstly that he struggled with the characterisation of the Doctor that RTD and the production team expected of him - he wanted to play it a bit darker, but they wanted more "light comedy". He found that to be a big struggle for him, as if you've ever seen Christopher in anything else... he's typically quite dark! (Bad guy in Gone in Sixty Seconds, Bad guy in 28 Days Later, police detective in Cracker...) He has also said he was fighting anorexia whilst filming the show, as well as having major issues with the production team. So - as I said in another post, whilst I was really upset that he left the show, because a) he was a great Doctor, and b) I hated that the mythology was "losing" a Doctor so fast) - I'm glad he got out when he did rather than stay on.
You will definitely miss Eccleston, but you've got so much to look forward to with Tennant. You are right, he is definitely the same person, with the same memories, same experiences, but what you will notice is that the personality does change somewhat. Don't get me wrong, the Doctor is always the Doctor. What we love about the Doctor at the core remains, but you'll start to see a different side to this character each time he regenerates into a new body.
Oooh I love this thought! With each regeneration, his personality may change slightly... love it! I wonder if we will ever get a fully evil doctor 😈
@@julesreacts Perhaps. :P
To be clear, this isn't spoilers for any of the show you're likely to watch, but that idea was teased back in an 80s story.
But no, the Doctor is always a good person at their fundamental core.
@@julesreacts an evil doctor? Hmmmm.
@@julesreacts This might amuse you... about twenty years ago (before Doctor Who was relaunched) it was a popular theory among some fans that the school library in Buffy the Vampire Slayer was in fact a TARDIS, and that Giles was a Time Lord...
@@Jet-fighter There was also a what if timeline from the "Four Doctors" comic book where the doctor becomes a mad tyrant over time and space.
Christopher Eccleston was fantastic as the Doctor. He was absolutely fantastic. :)
He absolutely was 💜
"Rose, before I go, I just want to tell you, you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And do you know what? So was I."
He truly was a fantastic Doctor! Christopher Eccleston was my first and forever will be my favourite Doctor. He's such a nice man, I remember meeting him as a kid when he came over to my house for tea.
Even though he only had one season, he will always be remembered for jump-starting Doctor Who again and making way for the actors to come.
That was such a beautiful line from the Doctor... And he is SO right! They WERE fantastic 😭😭
Chris Eccleston came to your house for tea?? That's so cool! :)
One of the hardest jobs of being a Dr. Who fan is the transitions from one Doctor to the next. While each has a different personality, they are always great to watch.
Btw. Doctor #10, David Tennant, will be a blast to watch and delivers a wider range of emotions.
The hologram part when he's sending her home gets me every time, such a powerful moment. Great final episode for this Doctor.
Especially the ingenious bit where they took the echoey "recording" sound off of it right at the end, so it sounded like he was standing right there in front of her.
@@ms_scribbles the way he turns to look at her too.
The doctor personality changes a little, but what you you will notice is it isn't just a random change, the 9th doctor was plagued with PTSD from the time war , you probably noticed how dark he was , in the episode the end of the world and in boom town
The 10th doctor personality was result of the doctor starting healing because of rose
Ohhhh.... that's so beautiful... 💜💜
The arc that 9 goes through in just one season is unmatched imo. We see him hit with the same situation he went through in the Time War bit when it looks like he'll have to sacrifice his second home he refuses to. Rose saved him both literally and figuratively.
I wonder if he knew what impact Rose would have on him and that's why he was so insistent, coming back to ask her again? Okay, that's made me think 🤨
@@julesreacts He doesn't know why - he just knows who
This is the 5 stages we all go through and baring in mind we had to wait months before watching the next series and not see the next series straight away.
1. Sadness of the Doctor that we've just lost
2. Resent the new Doctor before their first episode appearance
3. Watch the first 2 or 3 episodes thinking about the previous Doctor
4. Accept the new Doctor and watch their time in the Tardis
5. See them die and go back to sadness again
@@julesreacts you will see Captain Jack by series but there is a spinoff show with him (not saying the name) between series 2 and series 3 of Doctor Who
@@alexandermills9965
The name was mentioned in the Weakest Link section. The boy made the error of calling it touchdown.
Can't tell you how happy I am when I see a reactor fall in love with this show as much as the rest of us.
I'm so glad to hear that! It's a wonderful show and I've just enjoyed it all SO much 🤗💜
These last two episodes of the Ninth are very emotional, even today.
Don't forget the xmas specials! "The Christmas Invasion" takes on straight after the events of this episode and is the first story with David Tennant as the Doctor.
Great reaction Jules. So glad you are enjoying this franchise.
Thank you, Steve!! I loved this first season of New Who VERY much. I can't wait to see what else is in store for us 🤗💜
she can also watch the children in need mini-sode they made before the Christmas invasion
its called: Doctor Who Born Again Children in Need Special 2005
@@julesreacts Yes, I was going to mention this also, You need to watch The Christmas Invasion before the official Episode 1 of season 2 or you'll be left scratching your head.
That will be coming in a few days!
That's the next episode on the channel, this time next week :)
The Daleks are the Doctor's oldest enemies. They were introduced in episode 2 in 1963. They will never be completely gone. It would be like Batman without the Joker.
doctor 9 often gets overlooked, but to me he is the best of them all. Him, rose, russel t and ste mo revived the Doctor for our generation and i love them all for that 💗
Oh RTD, never met an endearing supporting character he wouldn't kill! But what a wonderful finale this is. It still holds up perfectly all these years later. Just a fantastic season.
"Oh that's right...Barcelona!" has lived in my heard rent free for years lmao
The transition of the doctor not only depends on the new Doctors performance, but the performance of Rose. She has to reflect the audiences reaction, so at first she's not used to him, and treats him like a stranger, then gradually his personality and actions proves to her, and the audience, that yes he is indeed the same Doctor.
Fantastic series 10/10. Not one bad episode.
Chris will always be my doctor😃
(His regeneration is the most sad for me)
He was absolutely wonderful 🤗💜 Thank you so much!
@@julesreacts Glad you enjoyed it. Fun Fact: The final scene where the Doctor is explaining to rose that he's gonna change and "before he goes", both Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper weren't even on set at the same time, Chris regenerating into David was done much later after the BBC announced they had green lit series 2.
I have a friend who was a little girl in 1963, when the first Doctor regenerated. Back then of course nobody knew it was happening, no internet, no leaks. They knew the actor was changing, but not how. She says her entire family (who loved Dr Who) were standing in their living room, watching their favourite "cranky grandfather" getting sick and obviously dying. Then, suddenly, he was shorter, younger, completely different. They went mad. It is estimated that about 80% of the ENTIRE TELEVISION AUDIENCE in Britain (at the time) tuned in to the next episode to find out what the HELL had happened. It's the blessing and the curse of the Whovians. (we fans that is) Everything changes, and everything stays the same. As film guru Leonard Malten once wrote. "Regeneration is the single most brilliant concept ever conceived in any movie, tv show or story telling of any kind"
The regeneration started back in the 60's when the first Doctor left the series but the BBC still wanted to keep the show as it was doing so well. They then made a decision that there were only so many regenerations that each timelord could go through, they gave a high number thinking the show would never last that long.
David Tenant had the hardest job replacing chris but he did it well
It's rare in shows where you have an episode so hopeless and filled with dread. I love it.
Your reaction to this was everything. Eccleston was a fantastic Doctor and it's sad he left due to issues with the higher ups at the time. But he is also doing Big Finish Audio Doctor Who stories as his Doctor for events that don't happen on screen in his run, which is nice because he was such a wonderful Doctor.
Thank you so much for being here and enjoying this episode 💜🤗
@@julesreacts you’re welcome. I hope you listen to Eccleston on Big Finish audio in your off time. He deserves his love for bringing this show back. He thinks he wasn’t a good doctor and it’s like he need to be hugged and told he was amazing.
Murray Gold, the composer, absolutely flexing throughout this episode, but can we take a moment to appreciate the sound right at 18:03
It is not well known, but the BBC only committed to one season,so the plan was always for Eccleston to die at the end. After the premiere and the show was a hit the BBC insisted Eccleston sign a new contract, but at the beginning of production he dad a huge falling out with his first director and then the producers. He refused to come back and then had a fight with the BBC. At the time the proders we're doing another miniseries called Casanova, which stared David Tennant,who was a huge fan of the old Dr. Who. The show runner asked Tennant to his home to see a rough cut of the episode, Dalek, and offered him the role if the show went to a second series.
Sorry about the spelling, I have sausage fingers
It’s been such a wonderful journey to watch you watching this first series through fresh eyes, feels like I’m getting to re experience it all over again
One of the wonderful things about this show which has been going since 1963 is that there have been so many actors playing the Doctor in their own way. Every Doctor is the same character, but they all have their own personalities and quirks. And every fan of the show has their own favourite Doctor - it's often the first one they saw.
This is such a fantastic way to cap of the first season of the reboot. Chris is an amazing Doctor and when he sends Rose away and says "Have a good life, Rose, have a fantastic life" I always tear up. I do sometimes have mixed feelings about Rose - she's a great character but somewhat insensitive to other people when she's focused of TARDIS/Doctor stuff. Having said that, the Bad Wolf scene with her channelling the heart of the TARDIS is brilliant. And yay for you seeing your first regeneration scene. Farwell to Chris Ecclestone, he's been fantastic and I'm sure you're going to enjoy David Tennant just as much. Each actor brings something different to the role, but are also super respectful to keep the core of the Doctor the same, so you are in safe hands. I've loved how much you've loved this season, Jules. And I'm glad you know about the Christmas specials as the next episode is The Christmas Invasion - fun times.
Eccleston and Tennant are my favorite Doctors. Love what both bring to the show. Can't wait for your reaction to the next episodes and everything this new Doctor brings.
Love these types of episodes and how emotional they are. Was crying myself by the end. The ones where he changes always do.
Rose is awesome.
As always, love joining you on this rollercoaster.
Now look what you've done - you've made me cry, too. Really though, I've enjoyed watching your reaction to this show. When it first aired, I watched it with two friends, one of whom was also an Aussie woman about the same age as you are, and neither of which had ever seen a Doctor Who episode before. Myself, I've been a fan since I was a wee lad (in 1980!), but this version of the show was very different from what had gone before, so it was completely new for all of us and we loved it. It brings me a great joy to see someone experience it for the first time and have such a thoughtful, intelligent and sometimes emotional reaction to it. Your editing is terrific, your comments are spot-on and I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of the next Doctor (for the record, my Aussie friend quit watching after Christopher Eccleston left because she felt he couldn't be replaced!). All the best, and keep up the good work!
Awww thank you 💜 I'm sorry about the tears! I truly never though Doctor Who would make me cry so much haha 😢😭
ahh. this episode ☹ i really wish christopher had more time as the doctor because he was SO enjoyable ((and fun fact he is SCARILY similar to my dad. almost his twin)). now i went into this show _completely_ blind. had no idea this was a reboot, had no idea the doctor could regenerate so i genuinely thought he was dying. i was terrified of the new doctor because you gain an attachment to the previous one and "no one can top him!" and they always go out SO emotionally !!! really pulls at your heart strings. god. im glad you enjoyed it and bawled just as much as i did. truly a remarkable episode
It was an incredible ending for a beloved doctor. I wish he stayed longer as well 😭
I've got to say it, this is one of the best Doctor who reactions on CZcams, up there with FilmBuff. Thank you for allowing me to re-experience Doctor Who through you're eyes, it's the closest I'll be able to get to watching it for the first time again. And definitely don't worry, you're going to love 10 :)
I hope it wasn't the comments that spoiled that this was Christopher Eccleston's final episode. It drives me mad that there are people who comment on reaction videos just because they want to show off that they know more than the reactor.
A LOT of tears were shed during this reaction! I feel bad for you but at the same time, emotions are why we watch reaction videos. :) I'm glad you reassured us that you know about the minisode and the Christmas special too. The order can get confusing sometimes.
Awww thank you!! Yeah, sadly there were many comments about the next doctor. Even now, before we get into the next season, I've seen people talk about FUTURE doctors in the comments to this video 😥 I try and delete them, and I have lovely moderators as well who work hard to delete comments, but I guess unless I ignore the comments section, someone will inevitably say something 😭
Thank you so much for watching the bit where I talk about the minisode and Christmas Special! You're AWESOME!! I've had so many comments about it but I think a lot of people just either don't watch, or watch just the bit they want to see 😅 One day I might do a secret thing in the middle of the video, a special code word for people to write in the comments HAHA
Have an awesome day 🤗💜
The sadness of saying goodbye to one Doctor, mixed with the excitement and trepidation about meeting the next; it's a lot! Thanks so much, these have been so lovely to watch 💕.
My pleasure. Thank you for being here 💜
People often missed the implicstion they lied about the weapons being able to stop darleks. Jack knew they would not but they needed to slow the Darleks down anyway
Eccleston deserved a little longer but I also hear he was tired of it and until recently he didn't really have anything to do with it after he left. Tennant truly is the perfect replacement though.
He is an incredible Doctor 💜
Your not the only one! I tend to get very emotional whenever the Doctor regenerates too🥺 What a fantastic episode, I like how it gives a good idea of how powerful the Tardis can truly be.
Your reactions have been awesome and am so happy your enjoying the series! Your in for a wild ride!🌌
Thank you!! It was such an emotional episode but I loved it so very much 💜
18:58 "You are tiny!" Bad Wolf speech is one of best badass speeches ever.
Best regeneration scene to date in modern who imo, perfect amount of sadness without going ott like future ones do, and no long drawn out meta speeches. Also, the daleks have never been better than they were in this story
Brave heart, Jules. Our first Doctor is always special. That will never change, but enjoy getting to know the other Doctors too. It is a wonderful journey. :)
Just a point, since you asked about Jack. The Doctor doesn't know he was brought back to life. Jack was elsewhere in the station, and Rose just said "I bring life." Rose may know somewhere in her memory, but she might not. Having the heart of the Tardis inside her head really screwed with her, she might not remember much.
There's a big chance someone else mentioned it but if you want to know what happens with Captain Jack, then you should watch Torchwood! Its a more adult spinoff of Doctor Who that follows some of Jack's adventures. Season 1 of Torchwood happens after Doctor Who S1 and before S3 Episode 11. And Season 2 of Torchwood happens during S4 of Doctor Who, up until S4E12 where they cross over again! Its obviously not necessary to enjoy Doctor Who but its some additional good stories and very dear to my heart haha.
I don't think anyone expected Billie Piper, a teenie bopper pop star, to have the acting chops she does. Goodbye to the Ninth, hello to the Tenth.
This season is like the game tutorial you have to complete to get used to the control's and setting
Great comparison.
What's your favorite level? (Season)
Mine are 6 and 9... And some stuff from 7....
Hahaha 😆 it was a wonderful tutorial! I couldn't be happier ☺️

@@j9lorna Absolutely. One of mine, too. But yeah, shhh..... 🤫👍
@@j9lorna I just now realized your name, too. 😉👍
VERY good.....😊
This was an amazing finale, the emotion of the regeneration and the way it was handled, saying what needed to be said and then it was done. Brilliantly executed. No matter how good Tennant is in the role, I still miss Eccleston. When I first heard about the casting, Billie Piper was to me just a pop singer, and he was the last person I thought would ever be the Time Lord, and I thought 'no way this is going to work'. I was very happy to be wrong and fall in love with the show all over again. One line did it for me; lots of planets have a north in the first episode. That was when I knew the Doctor was back. As for the next series? It's going to be brilliant.
Eccleston did such a fantastic job. This transition still makes me emotional.
Loved seeing your reaction to it!
It was SO emotional but I adored this ending and the season SO much 😭💜
Each Doctor has his own personal style, but they all share a certain essential Doctor-ness, which started with William Hartnell in 1963. They’re all well-meaning, eccentric, and at times playful; and the actors can’t avoid these attributes even if they wanted to, because they're generally written into the script. The scripts have been written by a lot of different writers and edited by a series of different script editors, but they usually seem to have a fairly consistent idea of the sort of person the Doctor is supposed to be. And I think the character of the Doctor has always been fundamentally the main attraction of the show. Each new Doctor has his or her personal style and plays the character a bit differently, in the same way that the part of Hamlet has been played in different ways by many different actors, but he remains Hamlet.
Jacks got his vortex manipulator
What a great reaction to your first regeneration. It's a unique thing and I can't think of any other show that does such a thing.
There will be Doctors you like more than others, and who the Head Writer/Producer ('Showrunner') is very influential in determining the tone of the show. But when everyone is on their game it doesn't matter who's what, the essence of the show and the character shine through.
The same is true, of course, for reactors. You can't manufacture the emotion you showed in those final moments.
Thank you so much, Mark! It's a pleasure to have you here and I'm so glad you enjoyed this one 💜
I honestly love your reactions because they are so genuine and you really buy into what they are showing you in these episodes. I love the passion you have its really nice
Thank you so much!! That means the world to me 💜
"You were fantastic. Absolute fantastic. And you know what? So was I!"
I think that's still my favourite last Doctor Line.
Helo o Gymru! Hello from Wales! I live pretty close to where these are filmed.
It's awesome to see someone so emotionally invested in the series. I haven't been a subscriber for long, but your passion for these shows is awesome to see!
Thank you so much, Amelius! I'm so glad you're enjoying the episodes 💜 I don't think I knew the episodes were filmed in Wales. That's very cool ☺️ I have heard a bit of the Welsh language and it's lovely!
Much as it's always sad to see a Doctor go in a way it's fair to say the idea of the Doctor being able to change into someone else is what saved the show. After all way back in 1963 if they had just decided to stick with one actor for the Doctor and then when he left the show (William Hartnell the origional Doctor who actor sadly suffered with a lot of old age and health reasons and was semi forced into leaving the show as a result) you can imagine the show would have just ended. But instead the writers took a HUGE gamble and wrote the idea into the show that the Doctor can change, can become someone else. Of course they keep all their memories and are therefore same person but the idea back in 1963 to recast the main charecter in a show and have an explanation in the show as to why this happened had never happened in any show before and was such a risky thing to do and yet.. It worked. It's what kept the show fresh, it's what's allowed to so many great actors and Doctors and you can argue that the main reason the show is still on tv today is down to the idea that the Doctor can change and can become someone new
Daleks with a concept of original sin. Now that is scary.
I’ve loved watching these with you. Seeing your deeply honest, emotional reactions made me feel like I was watching the episodes myself for the first time. You were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.
Words cannot describe the magic and emotion Murray Gold brought to Doctor Who, the show would not be the same without him
Was surprised of how well Jules seemed to held it together for this episode. I most certainly did not when I watched the series some years back. But I did not have the magic of editing my view of the series either.
I cried my eyes out 😅 but I guess I didn't do a too bad job of holding it together.
I never saw someone Laughcrying like you at the end. Great combo!
Fantastic! I loved Eccleston. Tenant is my wife's Doctor - Smith is mine. You have so much good stuff ahead of you.
This is by far the least Doctor-centric Doctor Farewell episodes, and it's my absolute favourite of all of them. The end came so suddenly, I had no idea it was even coming when I saw it the first time. I didn't even know about regenerations, so it was really shocking for me.
“Have a fantastic life” although he had one of the shortest runs as the doctor, Eccleston is still one of my favourites.
Many comments about it across many videos! I don't know when the next doctor regenerates, so hopefully it stays that way 🤗💜
idk if anyone's mentioned this in the comments but jack ends up getting his own spin off series called torchwood after this so you don't see him for awhile (also have to say I am absolutely loving this series I am a massive doctor who fan an its great to see someone experience this incredible show for the first time)
Hey Jules! It's incredible how awesome this episode is! The Parting of the Ways is still in my top 5 of favorite episodes of all time. It's so bittersweet. 😢❤ Congrats on your first season. 🤗
Ooh!
I'd forgotten it was today.
Well I know what I'm watching as soon as I get home!
Have seen all the Doctors regenerate and it's hard to say goodbye to them because you get attached to them through out their time as the Doctor. Each one brings something unique to the role of the Doctor. The hardest one to say goodbye too, I think, was Tom Baker because he played the Doctor for 7 years, longer than anyone in that role. Also you should check out the 4th Doctor(Tom Baker) especially with Sara Jane Smith, I think you will enjoy her as a companion.
Congratulations, Juliette! Your first regeneration. The first is always the hardest.
You've heard of the 5 stages of grief? I've always thought there should be a "5 stages of grief after a Doctor regenerates"😉
Fans get attached to the Doctor and it can be difficult to accept both that one is gone and that another has replaced him. Sometimes fans can initially be hard on the new Doctor because he's not yet "our" Doctor and we compare and contrast and feel the new guy isn't up to snuff. Also, we miss the old one. However, we almost always come around to loving the new Doctor, until it's HIS time to regenerate and we get those sad feelings again and the cycle continues
But, yes, one never forgets their first Doctor😊
Yep that's explained.
1. Sadness of the Doctor that we've just lost
2. Resent the new Doctor before their first episode appearance
3. Watch the first 2 or 3 episodes thinking about the previous Doctor
4. Accept the new Doctor and watch their time in the Tardis
5. See them die and go back to sadness again
@@alexandermills9965 Excellent! I'm going to have to remember that!
So many great moments in this, but an underrated one is Nine leaning his head on the TARDIS door after talking with the Emperor.
This one is one of my favourite last episodes for a doctor
Jack's story continues in Torchwood which really you should watch Series 1 before series 3 of Doctor who
Don’t spoil it for Jules people! ;(.
I always cry when watching this episode! Plus others, like Father's Day. Doctor Who writers have a way of pulling us through many emotions, sometimes in the same minute lol. One of the (many) reasons I love it! 🥰
Revisiting this series here has been fun; looking forward to the rest of the journey.
That's amazing to hear. Thank you 💜
Yeah, regeneration usually happen right the end of the episode so we get to see the new Doctor then. Giving us a chance to dwell on this new face till the new season comes out. Or new episode depending on if the regen happens at the end of the season or not (usually it's the end of the season but not always).
And yes, while The Doctor changes his face and facets of his personality upon regeneration, he does retain all his memories.
It is an emotional rollercoaster ride... you really can't deny it about this show~ :)
This episode was actually the first one I ever saw. The one which started it all for me. I walked in on my step brothers while they were watching it the night it was broadcast and I became intrigued. The rest of that year I kept rewatching the episode on a taped VHS video until I almost knew the script off by heart. On Christmas day that year in 2005 I was given the newly released DVD set and watched them all from the start. Still to this day this series of Doctor Who has remained my favorite with my favorite Doctor, Favorite Companion and Favorite stories.
I had never watched Doctor Who before this new series 1 with Chris Eccleston, so it was quite the moment when he changed. I knew it was coming because I knew that's how the Doctor worked, but it still was hard saying goodbye to this Doctor. Eccleston is highly underrated, and I LOVE him most especially in this episode. When he tells Rose she's been fantastic, and that you know what, the Doctor's been fantastic too? I get all teary.
I also love when Rose shows up after having looked into the heart of the Tardis. With her glowing eyes and epic voice and speech to the Daleks... it gives me chills every time. "I can see the whole of time and space. Every single atom of your existence, and I divide them." CHILLS.
Side note: I haven't read all the comments here yet, but I'm assuming someone must have already explained that the Doctor and Rose don't know that Jack is alive? At least, that's how I always took it. He was in a different part of the station, and the last thing the Doctor heard was his death at the declaration of the Daleks, so I think he thinks Jack is dead like everyone else. I don't think they realized that Rose brought Jack back. So they left, and they essentially left Jack stranded there on the station by himself. Which is super sad. I felt so bad for him. (But I was also super relieved that he survived, because he was fun and I liked him. I didn't want him to die.)
Can't wait to see your reaction to the new Doctor! ❤
Thank you, Sherry 💜 it was a beautiful episode, and so sad to say goodbye to doctor 9 😢 he was brilliant!
Oh yes, a few people explained that they didn't know Jack was alive. I guess I thought Rose knew, but she was influenced by other things at the time, so when she went back to normal, maybe she didn't know 😔
The energy that allows a Time Lord to regenerate combined with the vortex caused him to dye. But since Rose doesn't posses that energy she was able to handle the vortex better.
Jules reaction to the doctor sending Rose home is not safe for work had me balling at my desk like I was seeing this for the first time.
Ugh, yet another intentionally hurtful comment on her part, and this time it's just mean because she repeats it. Not even giving her the age or upset GOJF card for that one. Mickey's deserves better because even though she stomped his heart at every turn once he committed to helping her he never stopped. She could learn a thing or fifty from him.
Well technically the Ann-Droid only sent the Dalek's back to their ship, since it's just a transmat beam.
Thing is the doctor is already the great exterminator, he admitted to such when he told the other Dalek he made the end of the time war happen to both Dalek and Time Lord. Oh and by the way Rose is guilty of genocide as well, just saying.
Loved this ending, but could have done without the cheese of "looks like you need a doctor." Caaaaaringe. And I never quite got how the time vortex power killed 9 and made him regenerate, but Rose was just fine and she had the power much longer than the doctor did. Pretty big plot hole.
That laughing cry at the regeneration says it perfectly for all Who fans new and old when we first experience the loss of our first doctor. Fantastic reaction J-bird. Can't wait to see how you are with the rest of the show.
BTW, the doctor really isn't the same with a new face, but you doubtlessly have learned that. But it's not a bad thing, each doctor is special for a reason.
As for Jack... well...
Welcome to what it truly means to be a Doctor Who fan. You never really forget your first regeneration. Once you get attached to that version of The Doctor, it's always sad to let them go but there's happiness too because each time you get something completely new. I admire your outlook, though. So many people dig their heels in and have trouble accepting change but are often surprised to find how much they fall in love with a new incarnation. Glad you're already open to possibilities.
Thank you SO much! I have to say I've watched a few episodes from season 2 and I never knew I'd be so accepting of a new doctor so quickly. I think it's one of those things you just have to let go of expectations and dive in with an open mind 💜
Loved Chris but David Tennants doctor was really good. His chemistry with rose is great
The docters species replace every cell in their body when yheir close to death removing danaged dna and cells so they fully heal it dows effect personality somewhat but they allways the same personality traits but in difernt amoungs the personalitu is focused on one or another of the docters core personalitu traits plus he hrows abit because he still has same memories
Because I got into the show late, I binged the series so fast that I couldn't say I formed a connection to the Doctors/actors enough (im being vague so date ranges don't spoil you). But from that point on I was watching along while it aired on TV and formed a connection to the current Doctor at the time and I took that regeneration hard. I still can't look at a screenshot of that episode and it's been quite a few years. So I can understand the sadness you feel. I've been doing a rewatch of the show. I'm excited to see how to react to future episodes
Will you be reacting to the two Doctor Who spin offs? Because they give background on characters that you know and love. (Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures) definitely would recommend.
Congratulations on your first regeneration, I've been watching Dr Who since 1972, yeah I'm old...ish :) You have so much to look forward to.
Try to remember what Rose turns into as it comes up again in a pivotal moment in the Doctor’s life….
One characteristic of Eccleston and Tennant. Eccleston: "Run!" Tennant: eyebrow raise!
You should watch the children in need special now (Doctor Who Born Again), its not particularly important but it might help you understand how Rose feels about it all in the next episode
If you want more Captain Jack you should watch Torchwood, just the first series until you get a bit further into the main show but bear in mind its written for adults so its a bit more intense
That episode will be up as a bonus episode in a few days ☺️
Yes! It’s rather important to see that short to understand the next episode.
Just a little explanation on how regeneration works to hopefully make you less nervous about the new doctor and the doctors in the future: regeneration doesnt change the doctor's personality, but it does kind of shift what aspect of his personality is most prominent and how the different parts of his personality express themselves. For example, the doctor is always heroic, but some doctors are like action heroes, going toe to toe with aliens, defeating them with martial arts from venus, while others are masterminds, tricking his enemies into defeating themselves while sipping a cup of tea on the sidelines. But while the portrayals can very, the core of his being is always the same. To paraphrase a later doctor, the name he chose, the Doctor, is a promise to the universe, and he always keeps that promise
Everybody has "their" Doctor. The first one they watch and usually their favourite. Mine was Tom Baker aka the 4th Doctor aka the Best Doctor.
its a wrap! thank you for reviewing this show :) this show is my literal childhood so getting to rewatch it with you and seeing ur excitement and emotions and overall thoughts on the show has warmed my heart, thank you. can't wait for season 2 reaction!!
Your first regeneration. I guess this was my third.
Every actor makes the Doctor their own. So the personality does change. A lot. But it is still The Doctor.
Yeah, absolutely! I try to embrace the new Doctors even though I loved the old.
I wish he'd wanted to stick around for several seasons. I loved him as the Doctor.
Agreed 💜
YES! Your reaction to this episode was perfect. You give such genuine reactions that no one else really give! I’m so excited to see you react to series 2 and beyond, it only gets better as the show goes on!
Thank you sooo much ☺️☺️
Welcome officially to Doctor Who. This is the one show which never fails to break me, this episode in particular with Rose speaking about her dad, and that ending.
The show has it's funny moments, it's cheesy moments, serious and dark moments but omg does it do the emotional moments like a cannonball shot to the gut. It's always best to have tissues on standby because you never know precisely when you'll need them.
Christopher Eccleston will always be my Doctor, it's true what they say about your first lol, you never forget them. But this next Doctor is amazing in his own right and I'm sure you'll love him.
Make sure to watch “Christmas Invasion” next. That’s Tennant’s first full episode, so don’t jump into Season 2 just yet!
I'd go further, and say watch the Doctor Who minisode from Children in Need 2005, "Born Again", first. It bridges the gap between this episode and _The_ _Christmas_ _Invasion._ Though from what Jules said, I think she's on it!
Yes, that episode is this time next week with the minisode in between!
Russel T. Davies sure knew how to write to elicit those human emotions. As well as generally interesting science fiction stories.
Just recently found you because I always look for first timers to Doctor Who as its my 2nd fav show of all time and enjoy going through the Journey again with new fresh eyes.
You said that fans were telling you about new doctors, like actors names and I say......be careful. This show is best experienced blind and it can easily be ruined with foreknowledge. I actively go out of my way to avoid any new Doctor Who news because of spoilers. So just tread carefully.
I loved your reactions, can already tell how much your gonna love the series. I do love S1 but the show really starts to hit its stride going forward.
Now we get to go onto the David Tennet era, and your going to love it.
Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm so glad you've been enjoying the videos so far!
I do try to avoid spoilers and I never read any Who news, but sometimes people get a bit excited in the comments and talk about future happenings. The only way to avoid that is for me to never read comments but that's a bit sad 😔
@@julesreacts True. It's a struggle. On a lot of shows people get so excited that they start talking about something that happens like 2 seasons later. All fanbases do that.
Don't stop reading comments. All I am saying is just be careful of spoilers.
I for one (though am a pretty new subscriber.....sorry) will only talk about what knowledge you would have at this point. I am completely caught up and just waiting for the new season lol. But I dare not ruin another persons experience and will ever only talk about what has happenned thus far.
I do like Chistopher Eccleson as the 9th. Thought he did a great job. He is.....eccentric and kinda aloof. Love in this episode he say "C'mon lets go meet the neighbors"
Lol just the delivery is great.
Oh and thanks for replying.......your so very kind. I can tell you have a kind and warm soul. 😌
Thank you 💜 I really appreciate you just sticking with the episode at hand! I just wish everyone was like that 😅
@@julesreacts can't all be winners haha.......ughhh sorry that was a terrible joke. I will answer any questions about the show up to where you are or give any fun tidbits that I know.
Don't really have any other than "Why did Chistopher only get 1 season?" And he said that he wanted to do it that way as a sort of "starting point" for the future doctors and this new series.
