I have been watching Doctor Who since the mid-seventies and it's great to watch these episodes through new eyes 😊👍
Consider that she made Chip, and obviously designed him after "The man at the party.", it meant that much to her.
It's a bootstrap paradox, plus if you think about, maybe the reason she gets so much plastic surgery done is because it's the last time she was told she's beautiful so she's trying to stay beautiful because of it, until she loops around and she sees her younger self and realises how beautiful she was in the first place trying to tell her she's beautiful at this point, but it feeds into the loop.
Hi E.B., glad to see you enjoy another episode. The actress portraying Cassandra, (Zoe Wanamaker, who you saw as herself at the end), is a really good actress. We also have her father Sam, (formerly a U.S. actor) to thank for his iconic contribution to our theatre. He had the vision & the dedication to recreate (Shakespeare`s Globe Theatre), almost at the exact same spot as the original.
Sadly, he died 30yrs ago, a few years before the grand opening by the Queen. He had dedicated the last 23 yrs of his life, blood, sweat & even some of his earnings to make it happen. We owe Sam a debt of gratitude, IMO !!
It's not my favourite episode but the ending with Cassandra being the last person to call herself beautiful is extremely bittersweet as you say. I'm glad you reacting to DW, can't wait for more reactions
One thing you have to say, the acting on both piper and Tennant is great in this episode
The Doctor always tries to go the path of mercy. Even the worst of intergalactic criminals gets given a chance. He rarely punishes and taking Cassandra back to the last time she was truly happy was an act of mercy. She was dying anyway, so what would be the point of being cruel?
And I love Novice Hame. I think Anna Hope does an amazing job under the prosthesis. All the nuns do a great job, and whoever was responsible for the prostheses and makeup wasn't paid nearly enough.
A very enjoyable episode, the sadness, the comedy, the absolute joy - all of it made, in my opinion, one of the better scripts thus far. Of course there's more to come and the writing gets better as we progress. Oh to be you Alan, experiencing Doctor Who for the first time. What a joy that would be!!
Can’t wait till you watch the Don’t blink episode
It's just called Blink, but yeah, that will be cool.
I grew up watching the first series, hiding behind the sofa when the Daleks appeared 🫣 been a fan ever since. ❤
A little info about Zoe Wanamaker's ( Here playing Cassandra) father Sam.
Samuel Wanamaker, CBE - born Wattenmacker; June 14, 1919 - December 18, 1993 - was an American actor and director who moved to the United Kingdom after becoming fearful of being blacklisted in Hollywood due to his communist views.
He is credited as the person most responsible for saving The Rose Theatre, which led to the modern recreation of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London.
He is commemorated in the name of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, the site's second theatre.
I think Cassandra is kinda an example of how people can get so obsessed with cosmetic surgery and body modification that imagine what it would be like in the distant future
Somebody's probably said but you'll recognise casandra from hogwarts,she taught harry and that how to fly brooms
My favorite part of this episode will always be David Tennant's acting when Cassandra first jumps into his body. The samba and foxy comments still made me literally lol.
You are making my week so much more exciting right now. Love the reactions thank you
And so we move into the Tennant era, considering by many to be probably one of the greatest eras of Dr who.
Enjoy your time with this sir.
I always saw the ending as showing Cassandra does have a heart and cares. In that scene she is like a celeb, all the guys are adoring her, so been told she's beautiful a lot in the fake celebrity world, but it's all bs as it's never sincere from tabloids media and those riding her coat tales. This time Chip says it in a way so sincere she feels it, and it brought out the nurturing love in her that you saw when Chip collapses. I think that was the point of that scene, to show she isn't a total bitch, just brought up in the wrong place
I have to agree , the pacing of this one was a bit off . It was nice to see Zoe Wannamaker on screen at the end after lending her unmistakable voice to Cassandra for two episodes . The idea of a cat evolved life form was maybe a wink to another British sci-fi to classic Red Dwarf . David Tennant and Billie Piper probably had a lot of fun with the accents and it was a good plot .Hope you are enjoying this incarnation of the Doctor .
Oh, I hadn't thought of Cat as a possible influence. Given this had its comedy moments, it is possible. Although Cassandra acts more like Cat than the cats do.
This was more Billie Piper than anything, after the end of season 1 which was pretty dark she wanted a more lighthearted episode, this was what RTD accommodated with, it’s not bad but not great, it’s relatively simple and it’s self contained, you only need to remember who Casandra and the Face of Boe are, since everyone else is new.
Cassandra survived because her brain survived.
Keep em' coming EB, loving these videos.
Fun fact, this was filmed on location at the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire and legend has it that it's impossible to count the stones - so it fits with the story! In the production notes for the story there were a lot of problems with using K9 on location shooting which will come up again later.
I think this comment is on the wrong video. The fourth Doctor story 'The Stones of Blood' was the one filmed at the Rollright Stones - location filming for 'New Earth' was on the Gower Peninsula.
Yeah, not the right video
Cassandra survived through a skin graft 🤪
The end of Earth was around the year 5 billion as well, so this is only a few years after that point.
It's my opinion, mine only, (maybe among many others); this Doctor Who, David Tennet (their is a great story behind his name) is considered one the best Doctor Who's. My favorite, the one I grew up with is Tom Baker, the fourth Doctor, but I will leave it at that. I hope as you view more of this famous show you get to experience the fourth as I had. His was so far the longest season. I suggest checking out all the Doctors to enjoy what all Whovians, have loved over the years!
0:41 FUCK NO, can't do that, you'll rip a hole in the universe.
Billie Piper had a UK number 1 hit with the song Because I Want To.
They keep coming and they keep stretching and growing it all. Fabulous stuff. Thanks for it Alan. Some fast, some slower, one or two in between, it's just a great growing blend of fun and intrigue. Be well. 😉
hello, I noticed from this episode that you really like the character Rose, there are some brilliant episodes coming up
No my favourite episode but I absolutely love that ending with Cassandra. Very bittersweet as you say.
Asking so many questions so early in an episode doesn't really work with this show. Just have a bit of patience and everything gets explained eventually.
That's a stretch he says.
To a trampoline :)
Time And Relative Dimension In Space= tardis
Considering one of the predominant theories about the origins of a certain illness that has been running rampant across the world the last few years, it seems like this show and its talk about experimenting with viruses has been quite prescient.
That was end of universe and this is an earlier period, it like die in 2050 but someone time travel to 2040, you still be alive in 2040, how I thought of it
It always seems strange that David Tennant did not use his own Scottish accent
Maybe because a lot of yanks cannot understand the inflections? Damn they barely speak english themselves!
Russell T Davies (RTD), the main showrunner at this time, knew Davis Tennant from a play he had previously produced and asked him to do the accent he'd used in the play. No idea why RTD wanted it, but that's why.
i like this ep.doesn't matter to me if it's slow in places.good acting challange for david and billy.
Not the best episode of the season and the science is abysmal, but like you say the pay off is great: the Doctor allows Cassandra to die in her own arms.
And it's a statement, if you choose to take it as such, on the barbarism of vivisection. The nightmare in that episode is real life for millions of animals.
Oh and Tennant and Piper are great fun channelling Zoe Wanamaker.
Stick with this season, it wasn't great in terms of the stories and FX but it picks up towards the end and the ones after are much better. When you see the CGI, bear in mind it's from 2006, nearly 20 yrs ago now.
My friend John at 15:02 getting a hug.
I wonder how many are patients in that hospital because the nurses have pushed them off the edge of something. 😅
💚🐇🐴🐴
This isn’t a fave episode of mine, it has some good ideas, but as you say, it feels disjointed, the pace is limping & running and the solution feels too disappointingly simple, but there’s some fun moments and Cassandra’s ending has a pleasing emotional core to it. Glad you found enough in it to enjoy good bud, peace back atcha.
Who's got some more who? Who, you?
You have already made the first face of Bo you just have to decide who it is
Someone already spoiled it. I told them nooo let Alan discover the plot as we did many years ago.
love how invested in dr who you are alan, you take it so serious lol,it aint real lol
Cloning is one option
Can’t wait for you to watch the episodes where Jon Simm comes in as The Master, him and Tennant are superb they just gel as opponents… but that’s still a long way off… David Tennant won so many awards for playing the Dr
spoilers sweetie!
Gotta love how the show itself literally tells the audience 'Spoilers are bad, mmmkay' (with all the subtlety of a brick to the head no less)...and yet here we are, multiple dumbasses bursting in like the Kool-Aid Man with comments like "I can't wait till you get to THIS part!" or "Hey how's THIS for a plot twist?"
How some people can claim to be fans and yet ruin the experience for new viewers I just can't get my head around, makes you despair for humanity sometimes!
@@bigthecat100 I think they get excited and in this day and age they immediately write a comment cause their phone does that and is permanently attached to their hands.
Before smart phones you might phone your friends on the landline or wait till you saw them at school both give you time to think is this a good idea,do I want to say that?
Just because you can doesn't mean you should! Some things should be private or left for the person to find by themselves!
You're gonna love the IMPOSSIBLE PLANET 2 parter...
Another great reaction, thank you. Always looking forward to more.
Yes my fav Dr …
The cats are a tribute I think to the Cat character of Red Dwarf fame Writing and pacing are off slightly because Tennant is yet to grow into and make Dr Who his own which he does brilliantly. 0:00 Zoe Wanamaker is a stage actress but has appeared in a long running UK sitcom as well as taking the part of Madame Hooch in the first Harry Potter Movie like the Ecclestone Dr the stories and acting get better much better. This episode is a mark time one.
👍❤❤❤❤
Not a good episode, but each one after this is excellent so please stick with it. Far stronger episodes from now on.
AH good to see you are looking at the big picture behind the picture frame . as nothing is realy what it seems . Just remember the fist season keep your eyes open . for anything that seems ordinary but will turn out to be something bigger. Or nothing at all.
I hope you're still not getting @ed by hundreds of geeks that feel it necessary to correct you with "fun facts" 🙄🤣
The face of Bo according to some is actually Capt. Jack Harkness way in the future.
*BOE. It is revealed in a future episode that it is Captain Jack, the Face of the Best Of Everything
@@Steve_P_BThought so, it's been a while since I watch them!
I hope he doesn't see this comment and he gets to enjoy that surprise when he eventually gets to that episode, just like we all did when we saw it.
@@prodestrianexactly. Talk about spoilers. Don’t do them people.
Please DELETE this comment ASAP! I'm staggered why you would say this. It's clearly a first time watch & this is season/series 2 . Reactions are so much better when you don't know what's coming. You know, I know but EB does not & should not
