It's actually kid of weird how when people are recommended by their friends to watch Doctor Who 'Blink' is often one of the strongest recommendations. As a show every episode or 2 parter is often it's own idependent story so picking a mini story isn't the odd bit, it's that there's hardly any of the Doctor in it at all. Maybe it's because it's a story that requires so little knowledge of all the technical mumbo jumbo that people can just get into it. Also it's a masterfully written script and really really well directed.
Personally I just think people want their friends to suffer with nightmares.
As someone who got into Doctor Who by watching Blink, it's actually a really great episode to start with because not only do you have the mystery of the episode, but of the Doctor and his role/character overall. Having him be barely in it actually stokes curiosity in his character and the series as a whole.
And strangely enough, people recommend it a lot, and it's one of only episodes that is NOT in the perspective of The Doctor, and also strangely enough, it's my favorite.
It gives the idea of what kind of stories Dr Who has.
@@jeaddhist then recommend them "Midnight"
Dude Eccleston was not the 90s, it was 2005 haha
Yeah, I was confused by that. Like, what the hell are they talking about. XD
Admitted, first seasons of WHO sure look like the 90s!
This is why I prefer the blind wave
You guys should seriously watch the "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead" two parter, if you aren't hooked after that you never ever will be.
Oooh yes, Human Nature/Family of Blood. So so good.
StormWolf
Oh yes. Tennant at his best. An absolute timey wimey heartbreaker
they should also watch gallifrey falls
Who turned off the lights?
Or more specifically, make Pat watch it.
Dude Eccleston's era started in 2005, not in the 90s xD
But due to the low budget it is pretty much like 90's :D :D
I was about to correct them. But you did, so thanks! 😎
Huh? There was the one made-for-television movie in 1996, I think. Set in, San Francisco, CA. It does not look the same as the 2005 technology!
_"Why did the mannequins move?"_
Because the Nestene Consciousness is able to control them.
Living plastic. For those not fluent in Who speak.
I love you for saying this
You should watch the episodes "Midnight" and "Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead"
Or Heaven Sent! *Please send me a notification, if you ever react to "Heaven Sent"!!* (or Face the Raven for that matter!)
Yaas Colin Morgan 😍😍😍😍. Also the empty child is great
OMG MIDNIGHT.
idgaf, midnight is scarier than blink will ever be
Hey, who turned out the lights?
We should go, DOCTOR! @@unforeseeable2.058
If you don't watch from Eccleston we can't be friends
This ^
If you really want to scare Pat then watch the Doctor Who episode Midnight.....
Fuuuuuck! 😂
Scariest villain/monster to me to this day is still "The Midnight entity"! You wanna see one really scary, well acted, EXTREMELY LOW BUDGET episode, go watch Midnight!
Pat lost all his street creds on 1 episode of Dr Who.
17:06 David really just knocks out of the park with this performance, the way he intensifies his warning and says seriously “Don’t blink” is absolutely chilling
Another episodes to react: "Empty child" + "The doctor dances", "The girl in the fireplace", "Midnight" =) Enjoy
"Goes ding when there's stuff" is the best Who line.
When I watched Blink for the 1st time it had me doing two things afterwards.
1) Being wary and paranoid about statue's
2) Made me practice keeping my eyes open without blinking
Happy that the wheel landed on Dr. Who and that some of you got to experience it for the first time. Blink is a great choice to introduce you to Dr. Who. IF you are not going to watch them all I would say that Silence in the Library and the Forest of the Dead (two part episode) would be the next best one to watch if the wheel lands on Dr who again.
Though the Vincent Van Gogh one would be up there as well.
van gogh episode is amazing
Them moving the TARDIS is way more horrifying when you realize it's ACTUALLY a couple hundred miles long.
RIGHT
WAIT..
OMG I DIDNT REALISE
Skipping Eccleston and ignoring the classics are the true sins. (I love em all but Eccleston and Tom Baker are my personal favs). I've only been a Whovian for i think 7 years now and I'm still working on watching the classics. (Not nonstop I take my time and return to it now and again). I just want to say its worth it and seeing the show as a whole is incredible. I'm glad you guys are considering watching more I love your stuff!
Margaret Margflower I agree missing seasons are missing great episodes never been a capaldi fan but the first six seasons where good in parts my personal favourite was season 4 with Donna
Truth. If I hadn't watched Eccleston, I never would have gotten into the series at all. One of my saddest moments was watching him transform, he was my favourite of the Doctor's.
i understand if not everyone wanna see the olds (but everyone should se genesis of the daleks) but eccleston, god, i think season 1 and 5 are the best has a whole, season 1 feels just like a good show and history for his own
I remember my best friend Drew showing me a couple episodes of Smith, and I immediately starting watching from Eccleston, catching up to the show (including the 1996 movie, minisodes, and spin-offs) a week before the 50th Anniversary, and I’m glad I saw it live. After watching An Adventure in Space in Time later that day, I decided to jump around the Classic era a lot with recommended episodes for each Classic Doctor, plus every Multi-Doctor episode. Then I listened to a bunch of audios and bought some comics. Eventually Capaldi became my Doctor. I have a TARDIS tattoo and will soon get a Weeping Angel one above it. I can still remember calling Drew half-way through the episode “Rose” saying, “This is cheesy as hell! I can’t explain why, but I love it. You sure it’s worth it to go on this journey? I know you’ve spent a lot of time diving into the lore, but is it really something I’d truly love?”. I still laugh thinking about it to this day. Doctor Who is in my opinion, the greatest show ever made, and I can’t imagine my life without it now.
You guys should watch Midnight, the freakiest episode of the show !
Anthony Ribeiro seconded! Midnight is a top tier freaky Who episode.
Yes my favorite episode of Doctor Who!
Good one! Or Waters of Mars. D:
I've always felt Midnight was very..hitchockian.
Which in my opinion was great.
Marketa's face every time pat makes a comment lmfaoooooooo
I vote Marketa+Pat Ballers reaction!
dude yes or the most explicit episode of entourage or californication. id pay to see that shit
"IT'S NOT ALWAYS CREEPY, IT'S JUST THIS EPISODE" HAHAHAHA, GOOD ONE, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
THEY'RE OTHER EPISODES LIKE SILENCE IN THE LIBRARY AND FOREST OF THE DEAD.... AND MORE
Add "Midnight" Doctor Who episode.
Second this
triple this
_Yes_. Everybody says Blink, and don't get me wrong, Blink is really good, but Midnight will always beat it for me. I just love the psychological aspect of that story too much.
how is ORPHAN BLACK not on that wheel !!!!
Nene Hitta It needs to be on that wheel and soon!
I second this.
I love this, Doctor Who is my favourite show of all time. I'm Brazilian and it was fun to see the subtitles in Portuguese but I don't really know why you guys had them on haha
é a fonte mais fácil de achar do episódio ksksksks a versão com legenda embutida, respondendo 7 anos dps
the portuguese subtitle lol
Ikr XD
Kkkkkkk
HOLY FUCKING SHIT YES
it's like it's a universal law that we both comment on the same videos
OH SHIiii it’s you
Hi Torchwood boy 🙂
Why are we here to epilogues
Best series ever to exist
It will be missed 😔
Hello fellow Doctor Who fans, Just want to say there are 6 other channels you should check out. They are Nerdistein Alba, Geek house, Vérouschkia petrova, See Jane Go TV, failwhaile 34, 7th hour films. They are all brilliant and I highly recommend them. So make sure you watch and subscribe to them!!!
Yes!! I'm so glad you did Blink instead of starting off with the mannequin episode. Blink, Girl on the Fireplace, and the Van Gogh episodes are like, gateway episodes for Doctor Who. But if you're into it, you gotta go back and watch 9. Skipping 9 and 10 are sins for sure. Great reaction guys!
Skipping 1-8 is a sin too.
But a slightly more understandable one. Not everyone can cope with B/W t.v. programs, also some people are more bothered by the effects than the great stories. All we can hope, is once someone becomes a Whovian, they will have the urge to learn how his journey started. :)
Personally I would always start from the first episode "The Unearthly Child" in Classic & "Rose" in Nu Who. But, if it helps to get them interested in our great program, I am happy. :)
The God Complex is a good, creepy episode too!! That's the one with the Minotaur.
shuckins Totally agree! Love that episode. It's very very underrated.
Thirded
great editing on this lmao I laughed so hard at the captions
Pat, come on man... come on LOL I have a suggestion. Pat needs to watch conjuring or something like that.
I second that, Pat reacting to scary content needs to be a regular.
I want, no scratch that, I NEED Pat to watch the playtest episode of Black mirror... I just need it
Or forcing Pat to play scary games.
Make Pat play Amnesia or a Silent Hill game
Pat game playing Resident Evil 7
God I just LOVE you guys so much! You're quickly becoming one of my favorite YT channels and I look forward to all of your updates!
thank you for the support!! we will try our hardest not to gradually start sucking lol.
Micky v You could never!
Your friend who ran away reminds me of me and countless kids back in the day who would watch from behind the sofa! lol
Seriously Chris. How is Atlanta not on there yet? Don't let us down breh.
chefawkes seriously. Chris gotta do it for the culture.
what does Chris have to do with that?
I do want to finish watching Atlanta... I dont know if anyone on here will fuck with it but it would be good to watch a few episodes and see what happens
He's the only one of the group whose seen it, so he's gotta push hard for it like Navi reps Doctor whoever the fuck. If they can get ballers on the wheel, why not an emmy award winning ground breaking new show.
chefawkes this show is better
I just subcribed to the Normies after finding out about this channel 4 months ago, I finally subcribed. 😊
I remember getting goosebumps the first time I watched this. And then trying to see how long I could go without blinking lol.
I like how one guy is freaking out and the other guy is just there with no emotion
Omg so happy that you saw this! Hope you guys do all the best episodes!! The Silence and the Angels are the best!!
This was the first of only... 2 or 3 episodes of Dr. Who I have watched in its entirety, and I LOVE IT!
I also showed my mother the episode, and she was riveted, even though she knew nothing else at all about the show.
she used to have a water fountain in her bedroom with a cherub statue pouring out the water, looking at her bed...
She said she couldn't sleep well for like, 3 nights afterward because of that.
I like how Pat was all, "phsssst..." at the beginning, and ended up being the most freaked out, 'shirt up over his face' frightened by the end.
Normies are the best.
They wont ever end doctor who. The shows been on for 50+ years lol.
As long as all the fans stand vigil, the 16 yrs wilderness is not easily forgotten. The BBC have never seemed to understand what a gem they had. Though, with the 50th Anniv. I am hopeful they have worked it out at last. :)
I would recommend adding Preacher, Black Sails, and/or The Expanse.
Seahawks1374 Second the Expanse. The acting isn't the best but the setting is so interesting. It's just pure fun to watch. Still need to finish Preacher. The first couple episodes are okay. Kinda disappointing to the comic.
The one with 10 where he's on the train is a great stand alone episode, too!!!
This is the best intro episode for newbies because it lays out time travel and introduces you to the doctor.
I don't remember what episode it was with Matt Smith but at one point we see the angels move and that sort of ruined it for me. Even when not being observed by the characters I felt like we never see them move because WE are seeing them. And that added to the creep factor.
Blink.
@@someguy7629 naw 3rd episode of season 5, second time meeting river
Videos are 30hz. The angels were moving between the frames
So glad you guys did this episode!
I guessed what it was from the description. One of the best episodes.
their laughs when the "wibbly wobbly timey wimey" comes on hahah
hell of an episode you picked there. One of my favourites ;D
Good Reactions. I really enjoyed watching. Hope there are lots more.
You guys are reacting to Dr Who, that's awesome XD
Blink is my favorite episode of this season
I would looooove to see you guys react to the Doctor Who episode "Midnight." The boys would shit themselves. Hahaha!
It's great how even if the characters aren't looking at the angels, if the camera is on the angels they still freeze.
See how time works , The Normie's from 5 years ago are now in 2023 influencing me to dig out my old external drive. I have 13 or 14 seasons of the Dr. now I think i need to go on a binge. It's been a while.
"are you my mummy?" episode was scary for me when i was younger 😂
I've been waiting for this forever
Getting newbies to watch Blink is one of my favorite things ever. That guy on the end who can't even....solid gold. I always hook people with this one, then get them started back at "Rose" (1x1).
I agree with Chris. I strongly suggest you guys search for the most acclaimed episodes. The show is still finding its legs in the very beginning (however I also love Eccleston), and with each regeneration, it's like starting over again, each actor trying to find his own rhythm. So it is wiser to do Chris's method. Also, IMDB rates Blink the #1 Doctor Who episode, Silence in the Library (which is actually a 2 parter) in the Top 5, and Vincent in the Top 10. I am so excited you guys are reacting to Doctor Who! This is my favorite tv show, and those, especially the Library, are some of my favorite episodes.
This was the perfect time to have the Pat Cam back.
This Dr Who episode could give a nice skit.
Ah this episode is the first one I ever saw and I completely loved it
Waters of mars is a good episode to watch
I'm so happy that you reacted to this! I love doctor who, my favourite episode is the lodger 😘
YESSS DR WHOOOO!!!!! You guys are awesome!! It took me a while to get into the show from the first episode but after that I was hooked. Matt Smith is my favorite of all the new doctors!
Never thought that I would see you watching a video subtitled in Portuguese (which is my language)
I watched this episode as a kid when I was 10 and it was really late at night. I couldn't go to the bathroom alone that night 🤣🤣 absolutely terrified me.
Welcome to my life in the 70s, hiding behind the sofa terrified of Dr Who.
It's 3x 10 not 3x 11, 3x11 is utopia
Which is also good, but in a 'Oh we a B-movie now' sort of way. Season finales always turn up the saturday morning cartoon-ness.
This episode was the Tardis at it's most savage. Left them behind knowing they'd be freakishly scared to then find out they might've well of not bothered and just stood up not giving two craps!! Just a massive middle finger from the Tardis
damn girl really needs to give capaldi a chance tho he is amazing as the doctor. His war speech and the episode heaven sent were two of the best things in the entire show!
The first Amy Pond episode was awesome. But the 2nd one? With the Queen of Space England? Snoozefest.
I love the guy on the right actually trying to hide behind the sofa. I've been hiding behind the sofa since 1971 (originally physically, but later metaphorically) with this show and it still freaks me out sometimes. Somehow they manage to get the show right with scary monsters for the kids and playing with your mind for the adults. If they can make a grown man want to hide behind the sofa, they're getting it spot-on.
FWIW, the statues in Blink are probably the best monsters ever created for Doctor Who, and they don't even move.
IIRC, there was a 'scary scale' for Doctor Who, that went up to 5. Blink was the first time that an episode got '5.5'
yes yes yes. The Doctor rulez. Loved Navi's immediate excitement and the who info just rolls out of her. Next ep should be 'girl in the fireplace'.
The mannequins in the very first episode was chosen as the villain because it was a revival of a classic monster. They were trying to appease and hook longtime watchers of the classic series. But at the same time hook a new audience. Remember that at the time, the only people who would be watching the revival first episode were original fans and maybe a few people who were curious. They had to hook the OG fans. But they also did not want to blow their first episode on Daleks or Cybermen. They picked a second tier villain that could try too hook new and old fans.
Totally thinking about becoming a patron just to get Underground added to the wheel. That show is so good, the soundtrack is awesome.
When I watched this episode Iliterally looked at every single statue in site, I still do it everyday. I had nightmares for 3 weeks about Weeping angles......I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
I've never really twigged at the genius of The Weeping Angels as a tv monster until this moment.
Usually, when a monster appears on screen, your instinct is to turn your head, cover your eyes, hide behind the cushions, _anything_ to avoid seeing it. Perhaps it's the childish idea of "if you can't see it, it can't see you", although, if you think of it, we close our eyes at real horrors. If you're in an accident, your first instinct is to close your eyes, if only to be spared seeing the horrors of your own fate.
However, the Angels force you to keep looking at them! If you seek comfort behind a cushion or with your face nuzzled in a loved one's arm, _that's_ when they get you!
I like the idea of watching someone's favourite episode of a show, i've never watched Dr Who so this was a nice reaction to watch even though I don't know anything about it. You should all react to your favourite episodes of shows you haven't reacted to before!
The reason the T.A.R.D.I.S is a police box is because the 'Chameleon circuit' (its supposed to turn the T.A.R.D.I.S into something that blends into the environment) got broken/stuck when the Doctor made a trip to 1920s (i think).
Steven Moffat was a masterful writer in the Russel T Davies Era of Doctor Who. Just look at The Empty Child (two parter), The Girl in the Fireplace, Blink, Silence in the Library (two parter). No wander he took the role as head writer after Russell. Not to say he isn't now, (The Eleventh Hour, The Pandorica Opens, Heaven Sent), but he has definitely has gone downhill in his own era of Doctor Who. There are too many bad ones to name!
Another one of the most terrifying DW aliens you guys didn't mention was the creature on the planet midnight. We never even really saw its true form but it was still creepy. The fact that we never find out what it is makes it that much scarier.
Okay so they actually have a reason why the tardis looks like a police box. It has something called a chameleon circuit which is designed to scan the TARDIS's immediate surroundings upon arrival and transform the exterior into what would be the most inconspicuous for those surroundings. However, the doctor landed in 1960s London, the TARDIS turned into a blue police box, and the circuit malfunctioned and got stuck. That is why it looks like a blue police box.
I think this episode might have been labeled wrong, this is the 10th episode, not the 11th, but it's not that big of a deal.
This is legit my favorite episode ever, I love the concept, and your reaction was great! :) I love Pat's reaction. XD
The greatest one-shot Doctor Who episode ever made.
when you are watching for 16 minutes and then you realise that the subtitles in the episode is in your mother language. hahahahaha
poor guy-on-the-left trying so hard to not spoil but wanting to correct
The guy on the right was deffo a set 8 kid in school lol
It's in the contracts of the actors they get a short vacation during the season. So there is usually one episode a season where they don't appear much. They did both actors at the same time this year and made up a plot where neither appeared much, having all new actors.
The guy on the far right who had his eyes covered half the time, had them open at exactly the right moments!
I'm so down for crying my face off again if you watch the Van Gogh episode.
This episode was my very first episode of Dr Who I watched.
girls (Marketa and Navi) your new hairstyles are GORGEOUS!!!! loving them
Great reaction guys!!
Ooh, my favorite show! You should do more of this.
Did you guys ever do the Time of Angels?
That was really good :) please watch Peter Capaldi's last season starting in March, he is a very special Doctor plus he has a brand new companion so begin the journey with Pearl Mackie as Bill :) 10/10 video guys, loved it!
Despite the Eccleston timeline thingy, good discussion. Reminds me of college meal table discussing issues with some ability and interesting exchange.
Haha I think we need a compilation video of all the times poor Marketa gets hit
This episode is how I got my Mom and Brother to like/get into Doctor Who!! Gonna go watch Blink now!
Why is there a doctor who season 11 playlist, but not one for all the others like this one?
I think this was the first episode of Dr. Who that I watched, it really brings back memories.
the very first episode of doctor who was shown on the evening president kennedy was assasinated in 1963. their is a lot of episodes to catch up on.
the weel: (stops in doctor who)
me: SIGN ME THE FUCK UP
Great reaction! I would love to see you guys react to more Doctor Who. Another great show that has a lot of shocking moments and plot twists is Dark Matter. Maybe you could add it to the wheel?
