#DoctorWho #DrWho #Whovian - Zábava
The River Song question was answered throughout Matt Smith's reign. They meet in the wrong order.
Yeah, you're right. It was just because it was their first time meeting, atleast from the Doctors perspective; every other time they had met, he was atleast aware of her, except for this specific situation.
It's actually explained quite clearly in that two parter alone.
IDK if they told Kingston at the time but that means that the first time The Doctor meets River is the last time River will meet The Doctor. That might explain why she looks so sad (at ther first appearance) and makes her sacrifice at the end of the episode (gets uploaded into the library). She knows that this is the last chapter of her story with The Doctor (from her perspective).
@@tiacho2893 Yes, and it explains why it wasn't in her diary. She wasn't around to write in it. I like to think that maybe the Doc wrote it in there, just as like a remembrance sort of thing, in her honour.
@@MistsMagic Exactly :)
Why is it no one ever notices that one of Clara’s favorite books was written by Amy?!?
irene harnack what book was that?
Priv 6464 when we first meet modern Clara, the son is reading a book by "Amelia Williams"
and you can actually buy this book on Amazon
The book where the little girl above the stairs who is also the walking base station hoovering up data also hovering up people. It hover up the data of Amy's book
Active camouflage
I hope The Doctor’s name isn’t revealed, it really adds to the mystery of his/her character. And it would just ruin the character
P.C. Principal plus if a long standing secret is revealed, it makes it kinda hard to go back and rewatch without reliving the senses of wonder that was felt before.
It’s probably Herbert.
P.C. Principal I hope it’s an equation to either creating a universe or being a god killer. That way he can’t have a name to call himself so therefore he can only be identified as the doctor
They will never reveal his true name or how he became the Doctor. Why? Well, they'd kind of have to change the name of the show...
P.C. Principal I just wished they never named one of the episodes the name of the doctor without making the dr stoopid
As to why River expected The Doctor to recognize her: because she wanted too. She knew it was coming and she didnt want it to happen.
She could not even know the doctor has never met her, because River doesn't know she will die. She might think she will meet him in her future, but in his past again.
@@menkalian2207 I think she knew she was going to die... thatt was the only explanation has to why the doctor didn't know. Their timelines are not linear. the first time she the doctor meets her it is the last time she sees him, so the only reason why the doctor hasn´t seen her before is because she dies :)
@@RafaelaSilva-ln9dh I think she initially thought the 10th Doctor was maybe the 13th Doctor, after Capaldi, until she finds out that none of the events in her journal happened with that iteration of The Doctor. She met The Doctor when he was in his 11th incarnation.
@@ki5aok Yeah,i agree, probably the war doctor was not created yet, and she could think him was the 12th
Or thiking about all continuity that was created after the episode showcased, he could easily be any future doctor.
(I mean,if we ignorate all the extended unvierse, but it not would be the last time the series and the expanded universe contradicts each other)
I love how this channel is like 75% doctor who. I’m not complaining!
william couldry is there anything about Doctor Who they haven’t done?
Erin McKeown god knows, the amount of videos they will make! ‘Ten things you did not know about rose Tyler’s hair!’
@@pineforest1442 The first 40 years of the show?
Not like there is much else to watch on BBC
@@wildfilms365 what has this channel got to do with the BBC?
The Doctor's name was actually shown in writing in a classic episode.
When he was on trial, and facing The Valeyard, The Doctor's name was shown in writing as various English, Greek, and mathematical characters arranged in a seemingly nonsensical equation.
Sooo...we KNOW his name...we just don't really know how to SPEAK it. lol
We do you just need to know what those symbols are and you can pronounce it.

@@markoconnor7163 Yes.
So happy to see someone else actually knows about this. lol
It is also written on the side of his bassinet in circular Gallifreyan in "A Good Man Goes to War".
@@ceryssachristensen6831 Yeah, but "It's ancient Galifreyan...it doesn't translate."
lol
@@ceryssachristensen6831 Awesome! I never noticed this... this would be it's only use in New Who the only use I was aware of was River's cliff writing where should used his nickname Theta Sigma. i.stack.imgur.com/kHleH.jpg
He ain’t fooling me, I reckon its actually John Smith
Jackisthedogsbollocks69 probably just spelt differently...Chohnzmyf or suchlike
I reckon it’s 42
Me too I think it would be perfect
@@timelordrohan9425 Well since Douglass Adams wrote several of the original Doctor Who episodes I have always wondered if that was a neat crossover reference but therein would lie a problem. The Doctor would never have allowed Earth to be destroyed in the first place.
@Jason Cromwell or what if the doctor got sick of saving people and became Ford??? Jk that's the worst theory I've ever made
I think River knew all along that the Doctor didn't know her, she said she knew that one day this day would come and it would break her heart, she was searching for a sign that the Doctor knew her to protect her heart, she couldn't accept it, she was in denial, which makes her first (technically technically last story alive) even more sad.
Thomas Derry after River realizes she’s gotten the Doctor at a point when he hasn’t met her yet, she explains that the message she sent to his psychic paper “went wrong” and she got a much earlier version of him than she expected. My feeling is that she was expecting Eleven, but that she’s met Ten once or twice (post-Library for him), so she tries to ring some bells for him with entries from her diary of his “early days” with her, but alas, she finds that it’s too early for him and the day she’s dreaded most has arrived.
@@kellymoore7310 It's a plot hole. River asked 10 if they had done the Byzantium yet (which was already early for him, their first kiss from the Doctor's perspective). Indicating she's considering the possibility he's a future version of the Doctor. The problem is that she also mentioned this must be "early days" for him (they were a married during 11's life). So River seemed to realize right away that 10 was actually a past version. This makes the Byzantium question a huge plot hole given that she did that with 11.
You can also consider the fact that the 10th Doctor clearly has no idea who River is when she arrives at the Library (he gets angry at her and her expedition and demands they leave, also asking in disgust if they're archeologists). She has to actually introduce herself by name and handshake. River has no reason to be asking questions about what events they've done after this. So even just within the context of that episode, there are huge plotholes...
@@granvillimus Moffat really didn't do a good job with that story arc.
@@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 no he didn't, I agree, but I have to admit I can never seem to pass a River episode up when I see ones on. I turn straight to it, or record it if I don't have time to watch it.
@@granvillimus if we assume she says early days for him because she can tell by looking that he's young in the life of that body but has no other knowledge then eveyrthing about the scene makes perfect sense.
Sorry but I refuse to believe Jenny crashed in to the moon nope nope nope
bigfinish.com have released her own spin off series. The Jenny Adventures. So the idea of her dying in a crash has been dropped.
What if we find out she regenerates (at some point) into the Jenny that marries Madam Vastra?
@@mattakins3422 bruh
What, I can't winder about a coincidence?
@@mattakins3422 I hope not, Vastra's girlfriend Jenny is boring af
If Barrowman had been available for shooting when they made A Good Man Goes to War, Harkness's body would have become a Headless Monk in that episode.
As far as orson pink is concerned, that future was deleted so he never existed in the first place
Imo a better explanation would have been so you know how she was supposed to die but they took her out of time and she off with the girl from game of thrones on an adventure until they put her back? They could have done the exact same thing with him so they could have been together for a long time and she got pregnant and that's where he came from. Maybe not their child but a descendant.
@@tonyblake7569 Exactly what I was thinking.
what if Rupert was Danny's brother?
Alex Moore's idea makes most sense!
The Big question is...What happened to the doctor's 1st Wife & Daughter?? Or his granddaughter Susan Foreman after he left her on Earth???? 🤔🤔🤔
What happens to Susan is explored in Big Finish audios with the With Doctor.
Yeah, I just find that interesting how that’s left ambiguous
Meandmy Tea Susan settled down and had a family on Earth. Not sure if she was killed during the time war. Also, Susan isn’t actually the granddaughter of the doctor. She’s the granddaughter of the other, one of the original time lords (and it is rumoured that the other reincarnated into the doctor after death). Susan got confused about who her grandfather was and the doctor needed a companion so he lied about who he was. This is According to the extended media (before new who) so not sure if this is retconned. The doctor never said he had children and grandchildren or spouses before becoming the second doctor meaning his only wives were Queen Elizabeth, Marilyn Monroe and River Song.
@@airwolf276 The 2nd, 7th, 9th, 10th & 11th Doctors do talk about their family in proper Doctor Who TV episodes! (not books, comics or audio stories)
Jayne Oliver my mistake. I don’t watch classic who so...
Edit: 10 and 11 only talk about a grandchild and nothing else.
If no one ever notices the Tardis land right in front of them or hear it
I doubt there gonna notice the statue of liberty move 😂😂😂
multifandom edits well the TARDIS has a sort of clocking device, they see it but they don’t want to know it’s there. that’s how people don’t hear/ see it land
It's a perception filter that's modeled after Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy cloaking field called a somebody else's problem field
*they're
A perception filter. Exactly what I was going to say, as he says it in the Utopia trilogy.
All of you stop applying logic to who. Just tell yourself that the statue had a perception filter and forget about it.
what was the creature in the Midnight episode tho?
I think the less we knew about that creature made it better
Downton 654 i totally agree
That is an apparently invisible entity that has the body of its victim. Which was Sky's case for that episode. Maybe the midnight entity uses imitation as energy for itself.
Paulo Novelas E séries the mechanic saw a dark entity running towards them
Fauth it’s a creature that can shapeshift into photons then into a physical form.
Regarding the absence of The Reapers beyond Father's Day, I think they only appeared because of HOW Rose created the paradox.
Remember, she interfered not only with the original timeline, but her own, causing the her and Doctor of their personal past to vanish.
Autum Breeze
Also I think it didn’t happen with Adelaide because she ended up killing herself
But then he also intervenes with his own personal timeline in The Day Of The Doctor, but in Fathers Day he tells Rose not to touch herself. Major plot hole, he puts his hands on the button, but doesn't destroy the time continuum.
@@whovian1018 could've possibly been a result of the Moment which was the cause of the 3 doctors interacting in the first place? I dunno that's how I've rationalized it
These werent paradoxes, though. Rose pretty much not only changed her own past, to the point it probably wouldnt allow her to travel with Doctor, but she also interfered with her baby self. Which was irrational, but not actual paradox - it still lured Reapers, but didn't really cause any further damage.
Its totally different phenomena from fixed points being rewritten, which pretty much unfolds web of time that Time Lords created, which brings world back to its primal state, where time and physical laws were different and/or didn't work at all, allowing magic to exist.
On top of that in Water of Mars fixed point didn't got rewritten, what got rewritten was everything around it. First Doctor came to the base, then he saved some of crew members. Fixed point was that the martian base is blown up, and Adelaide is considered a hero after her death. She probably still could live longer, but her decision to commit suicide resolved that plot hole, too.
Its like in Wedding of River Song. The original event may have looked certain way, but fixed point may not be exactly the thing you would expect. Considering Doctor knows what is a fixed point - everytime he meets one, we can assume that either has some intuition to it or Tardis may have some connections to Gallifreyan database where all history is written down. And if those are written by living beings, then some sort of error can be done.
In Wedding the fixed point was that River supposedly kills Doctor and is send to prison. Which further impacts her own life and other people's lifes. But fixed point wasnt that Doctor actually dies.
Also in the Day of the Doctor they all were on Gallifrey, which has some different rules when it comes to time and space, as it is in the centre of the web of time.
But Doctor also didn't really change his past. He locked Gallifrey away, being the only person who believed that he destroyed it, which then spread further. And considering that Time Lords still have different biology than humans (dead body of Doctor became a timevortex of all his past, that doesnt happen to humans even if they are time-travelers), them touching themselves isn't a problem on itself. Cause one - they created time, two - they will forget stuff due to mixed timelines, thus paradox almost never really happens.
but like ALL the other multi doctor stories HE didnt cause the paradox. It was established very early in the show the time lords highest law is not to interfere with your own time stream, but the doctors were pulled together by the moment, the moment stopped the paradox.
His name can't open up a crack in space, his name was more of a co-ordinate or password for the Time Lords to break through. Also his name is supposedly impossible to pronounce to humans, except maybe children. So any name show runners came up with wouldn't make sense.
His name is hope or so the theory goes.
@@XionGaming2912 it's Basil. Duh
awwwww hope would be cute!
@@Storiaron wow
@@XionGaming2912 no his name would be said/expressed in Gallifreyan....BUT...Gallifrey doesn't exist anymore until the end of the universe. So most likely that's just the closest thing we can come up with as far as understanding it.
Regardless of how everyone thinks these lists are utter rubbish, I totally still click every time I see DW 😄
Lol sams
Saaaaaame
A bunch of these have been answered in the show. Some, even in the same episode.
Do you not watch the show?
I always think that when I watch these, all the answers are there in the movies or shows but it's as if they don't watch them just have them running in the background while they do something else, it's very annoying.
75% of this channel is Doctor Who.. and they get 50% of the information wrong.. they don’t watch shit!!
They have established that they hardly watch the show in almost all of their videos.
Who says that River hadn’t met the Tenth Doctor off screen? Their journals definitely confirm off screen encounters. Yes, that was Ten’s first time seeing her but that does not mean it was her first time seeing Ten.
Sorry, but not possible. 11 states in Crash of the Byzantium that the last time he met River it was at the Library. So unless they had another date there (not IMpossible, but not bloody likely) that was the only time she met 10.
Calls list "unanswered question"
Answers half of them.
LOLLLL
“Never apply logic to who”
The real question is, where'd I get this cup of tea? The answer - I'm the Doctor, just accept it!
I tried at first. Given up quickly)))
" I'll explain later "
Then there's me: I CAN APPLY LOGIC TO DOCTOR WHO AND STILL HAVE IT MAKE SENSE!!!
When clara jumped into the doctors timestream she was scattered throughout it including the events that came after she died
5:15 When the angles send someone back in time they're feeding on the time energy it created (or something like that) which I think means it causes a fixed point. Even if the doctor parked his tardis in paris and took a plane, the event still happened in NY where he was taken from.
And come on...it's a great way to send off these two. They couldn't stay on the show forever. They got to live and grow old and be happy ever after. There's no more closure needed imo
Because amy and Rory are both dead, does that mean they too were turned into cybermen in "death in heaven" (season 8)
GAAAAHHH! Why would you do that!? I was perfectly happy without that realization! :D
There not dead they were sent back in time
@Sam {Insert lenny face that has bulbous eyes} they got sent back in time and got old then died in the present they didnt die straight away
@Sam {Insert lenny face that has bulbous eyes} so yes they did die but for them they just got sent back in time
@@mct.7258 they still became cyberman
My theory is the Time War probably started when the Doctor used the Hand of Omega to destroy Skaro ( _Remembrance of the Daleks,_ 1988). What remained of the Dalek race then declared war on Gallifrey because of this.
Also the Timelords sent the Doctor to commit genocide on the Daleks which would mean the Timelords made the first act of war.
RTD has confirmed in the past that the 4th Doctor's actions in Genesis of the Daleks were what started the Time War. All Dalek stories after that were considered small skirmishes at the beginning of the war, especially Resurrection and Remembrance
@@Motorhawk2 Yes the Timelords definently started it with their pre-emptive strike sending the Doctor to Skaro to stop, slow or wise hinder their development. Initally the Daleks only wanted revenge on the Doctor who had defeated them several times, but will have picked a fight with the Timelords as a whole probably after the Hand of Omega destroyed Skaro, its still not clear where the Hand of Omega came from, but it looks like the Doctor has been involved in the Time War since before we first met him in a junk yard.
It would certianly help explain why one the first places he visits in the series is Skaro, and why he is so keen to get a closer look at the city, to learn more about the Daleks. Certianly there is lot lore there that could explored further, espically with the 60th coming up in a few years time and having recently had David Bradley in the role of the First Doctor.
A long time before then... Try Genesis of the Daleks, the first strike by the time lords against them. He didn't meet Davros the first time by accident.
The time war was started by the daleks . They had invaded Gallifrey (listen to Big Finish “galifrey” series) Romana (then president of galifrey) asked Narvin (time agency on galifrey) to somehow stop the daleks in the past. He sent a message to the fourth doctor telling him to go to skaro to change history. He wasn’t aware of what had happened on Galifrey and had his crisis of conscience . And the time war was pushed into beginning.
"Why did River Song think the 10th Docotr would know her?"
In the episode, the Doctor was brought to the library because of a message he got on his psychic paper, and that message was sent by River. Because of that, she knew that the Doctor would at least be there. However, the message arrived too early, so she couldn't have known it was a Doctor who didn't know her yet. She didn't realize until she was able to see his eyes up close to know how young he was, which only happened during the diary swap because she had just arrived in the library, met the Doctor before Lux came in demanding to know what was going on, then she had to delegate to the team.
DONNA: So, We weren't just in the neighbourhood
DOCTOR: Yeah, I kind of, sort of lied a bit. I got a message on the psychic paper.
RIVER: Thanks.
DOCTOR: For what?
RIVER: The usual. For coming when I call.
DOCTOR: Oh, that was you?
RIVER: You're doing a very good job, acting like you don't know me. I'm assuming there's a reason.
RIVER: No, but you are. Your eyes. You're younger than I've ever seen you.
RIVER: He hasn't met me yet. I sent him a message, but it went wrong. It arrived too early. This is the Doctor in the days before he knew me. And he looks at me, he looks right through me and it shouldn't kill me, but it does.
she has met classic doctors before in the cannon audio series. She wipes there mind after ever adventure and was probably hoping she could trigger something so he'd remember it all.
I dont know if it's just me, but the lower budget look of the old episodes feel a lot better than the higher budget of the newer season. Like the new season is filmed with tip top quality cameras and they feel too high quality to be doctor who. The lower budget look fits the whole style 10x better than the new look
I get ya :D
Personally I don't agree. I think one of the reasons the series was cancelled in 1989 was because audiences had become used to much higher quality productions such as Star Trek The Next Generation and Doctor Who looked somewhat tatty in comparison. I don't think a low-budget show would be accepted by audiences today.
@@mikenash7049 I see your point and that is a solid argument, but with all the fancy camera shots in basically every episode dont you sometimes have the feeling of it being a bit too over produced for Who? The perfect mix of both good shots and lower budget is series 10. That season looked stunning even with its lower budget
I like this point of view, and do agree.
But.
I also really enjoy the newer episodes (espesh with fellow Scot, DT)
I think the break between old and new actually help here with there being an obvious difference in style.
I do fully understand and I do enjoy the new season! It's just that the EVERYTHING has changed. The only thing that is actually recognizable in the new season in the tardis. If the tardis was replaced by a different time machine it would be a completely different show! Not even any of the same monsters or anything
I think river didn’t know that ten didn’t know her because she doesn’t know exactly when the last time they meet is. So possibly in her mind she thought she might eventually meet the doctors previous incarnations (before 10). So that’s why she was so shocked when she found out that he didn’t know her.
She was possibly even more confused because he’s very late into his time-stream; close to being 11. So this would’ve confirmed to her that she’s never going to see him before this time in his time stream.
There are various short stories, audio books and comic books, whose canon are admittedly very questionable, where River meets previous incarnations of the Doctor, having met every one of them from the first to the eleventh at least once. She didn't recognize Twelve because he was the first incarnation of a new regeneration cycle, so presumably she has never met any incarnation beyond the Twelfth either. She has also forcibly removed herself from the Doctor's memory every time she ran into him before he was supposed to know about her, to avoid having the Doctor learn something about his own future that he isn't meant to know yet, meaning that only the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth incarnations will be able to remember her. Again, all this comes from sources that may not be considered canon, so it's important to keep that in mind too.
Xylarxcode that’s true, I’ve seen a few of them. And as interesting as they are, I don’t really consider them as cannon imo. That’s only because I feel the tv show is it’s own thing
I love how people keep trying to make up justifications for what is clearly a production problem. River Song was introduced to play opposite Tennant's Doctor. If Tennant hadn't quit the show, it all would have made sense. But he did (to make a pilot for a prime time American TV show that never was aired). The meeting between Ten and Song was written with the expectation that they would meet again. It doesn't make sense in terms of the overall story. We just have to accept that it's a mistake and move on! :D
Artemis Strong retcons happen all the time in doctor who. It’s basically what the whole show runs off. So what’s so wrong with this?
According to the last episode Alex Kingston was in as River Song (the Christmas special with Peter Capaldi), she met numerous incarnations of The Doctor because she had pictures of most of them with her.
She only met 10 & 12 once each though...with 12 being the one who finally sent her to meet 10 & die.
Poor River though...the last time she saw The Doctor was as that idiotic 11, diving into unknown dangers to save some younger woman like Clara was the most important person in his entire life.
The comic “The Lost Dimension” released earlier this year shows Jenny being reunited with the Doctor (12 first and then 10) and then there’s the Big Finish audio drama, therefore she’s not dead
that is EU and it does not count with the TV show
@@robpollock9720 we are still in the EU. we haven't officially left yet but I'm not going to get in a political debate.
doesn't count til its on tv....
Big Finish Audio dramas do count towards the official Cannon of Doctor Who, but the comics and novels don't
There have been a number of very small obscure references in the TV series IIRC of BF stories, most especially of companions as featured in the 50th anniversary 8th doctor short.....
@@thehydronator3021 it does count. Big finish is canon. Do some research.
Apparently Captain Jack was supposed to have his head chopped off by headless monks and become the face of Boe but there were scheduling problems and he couldn't be in the episode.
In the Husbands of River Song she said the doctor had 12 faces and she had a picture of each of them but she didn't have one or know of Peter Capaldis doctor. czcams.com/video/gPqjI8Nq2-s/video.html
More Info on time war on Wikipedia:

@@jwrc12 She didn't have one of his war self
@@Timmymantwo czcams.com/video/gPqjI8Nq2-s/video.html
Yeah she did..
Possibly because River was programmed to kill the Matt Smith Doctor, so there wouldn't be a Capaldi Doctor.
Scheduling is what did it, the filming of Devils Run took place the same time as the filming of Miracle Day.
Time lords can only regenerate 12 times, so River only had his first 13 incarnations (suggesting she knew abt that whole fiasco in The Stolen Earth/Journey's End). Therefore, Peter Capaldi being chronologically the 14th incarnation means that she would have assumed it was impossible for him to exist.
It's kind of obvious what started the Time War. The Daleks were bent on destroying all other life, and the Time Lords were the only ones powerful enough to stand against them, while still being "human" enough to care.
River didn't know he whould have recognized him because she was earlier than she thought
I thought we all knew the doctors name was basil amiright
2 of your questions can be easily answered. 1st Amy & Rory was a fixed point in time We've seen several times how messing with fixed points is very dangerous. In fact the Doctor was even willing to die to avoid messing with a fixed point until he found a way to survive without altering it. The Doctor probably knows when & where Amy & Rory are, but won't risk visiting them unless the Doctor is 100% sure there will be no consequences. 2nd the library wasn't the 1st time River met the 10th Doctor. When the Amy 1st meets River we know its the 1st time the 11th Doctor meets River since at that time Amy had been traveling with the 11th Doctor since he regenerated from the 10th, However the 11th indicated that he already had several adventures with River
Pretty sure at some point we knew that Jack's head was cut off by the headless monks, so it reinforces the theory of him being the face of Bo
No, Davies has never actually made it so this is why It is not clarified in the shew, but It was going to be done during a good man goes to way but with filming conflicts with toorchwood the idea was disregarded.
A truly horrible idea that thankfully was discarded.
@@starmanof1972 Eh, your entitled to your opinion, but I wouldn't say it was a horrible idea. It makes sense and kinda ties up the idea of Jack just being a head when he gets old.
He was blow up in torchowood , and managed to survive and keep his whole body . So I have a hard time believing that simply being beheaded could stop Jack being able to regenerate the rest of his body . Unless it was a conscious decision on Jack part to evolve his decapitated head into a new hyper intelligent being.
@@bradnewsome9430 Except the headless monks have a way to separate the head from the body so completely that the body remains its own functional organism, and the head as well. The body is no longer controlled by the head in the slightest. Which would make sense with other media where an 'immortal' is defeated/killed. Use a method that doesn't actually destroy the components of the body, but effectively destroys the entity known as 'insert name here'.

Doctor who?
Answer: 42
Proof:
Doctor who? is The Question (asked on Earth - computer that has to find the Ultimate question of life, universe and everything)
42 is The Answer
JKOT05 If you remember your Douglas Adams the answer was 42 but the question was 6 x 8 in other words the Universe is irrational.
"What started the Time War?" The CIA (Celestial Intervention Agency) having the Doctor try to wipe out the Daleks before they even existed, of course.
What started the time war? GENESIS OF THE DALEKS. The time lords sent the Doctor to make sure that Davros would never create the Daleks, but it failed and some time later they became conscious about this meddling.
If I remember correctly, the 4th Doctor was ordered to go back in time to the point before the Daleks were created. He was holding two wires in his hands and he had the hard decision of destroying an entire species for the good of the Universe (in the view of the Time Lords) or letting them live. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he didn't connect the wires (which would have killed the entire species) and thus, the Daleks were created and then they somehow found out that the Time Lords ordered the Doctor to eradicate the Dalek threat before it began. And then they declared war on the Time Lords (or maybe vice versa).
2010's Clara may have died, but don't forget, she's the impossible girl, and we've already met a future version of her as well, Oswin the unknowing dalek, not to mention Nanny Clara. There are likely still other versions of her littered throughout time as well. Doesn't explain where Orson came from, though.
The Doctor’s name is probably Herbert.
Why??
With the state of last season it wouldn't surprise me
Well it’s either something like that or something like Romana’s. Whichever one you prefer to hope for.
I was thinking Steve

It's kind of just a common trend right now, since Series 11 sucked so badly, to make fun of it.
I saw, what I believe to be, the first review for the Doctor Who: Season 23 Blu-Ray Box-Set, on amazon.ca, and they claimed the only Season worse than it, are Season 24, and Series 11...
The: 'Welp,' wasn't supposed to signify some sort of relaxed slang.
It was supposed to signify being fed-up.
@@carealoo744 yes I know what welp means, I just cant stand trendy slang, as for the show people will always like or dislike one series or another you've got to decide yourself, the latest series was a bit of a come down after 5 years of moffat but then it was always going to be, chibnail is nowhere near moffat level but the series itself was okay as far as competency, I had no real complaints I tell people its a palette cleanser series really after a lot of moffats rubbish it was a refreshing slate cleaner for a new style.
Before watching this fully. Is the face of boe jack
It’s never 100% confirmed, just a multitude of hints that it is a very, very, very, old Jack.
corey hanna yes
Never confirmed? Jack himself says so. In the clip they used for this video.
corey hanna yup
No, Davies has never actually made it so this is why It is not clarified in the shew, but It was going to be done during a good man goes to way but with filming conflicts with toorchwood the idea was disregarded.
4:53 maybe when clara got splintered into millions of versions of herself, maybe she had a child during one of those lives with a member of the Pink family?
The secret of the Doctor's real name has grown to such epic scale that I think it would be difficult, if not impossible, to write anything of what it could be that would satisfy everyone.
The 4th Doctor effectively started the Time War when he almost tried to wipe the Daleks out at the point of their creation. It kind of spiralled out of control from there.
7th doctor tricked davros into blowing his home planet up
1:55 But they moved when no one look at it
Right?
But you have to imagine someone either noticed it was gone or noticed it while walking down the street.

@@fredfiles2155 comment of the week
Three Points...
1. River lost track of the Doctors Timeline because of two things.
First, at this point of her Timeline, she is over 200years (linear time) old.
Second, She ´d meet all of the Doctors during her BF Storys, sometimes the Doctor kept his memories but most time he was forced to forget.
So its possible that she was thinking, she did all the stuff, in her diary, (with the 10th Doctor) yet and he was allowed to remember.
2. Jenny missed the 10th Doctor, by seconds, at the end of her first series...she did not die...not yet...so maybe we will see a reunion someday.
3. The Time-War was started in classic Who "Genesis of the Daleks" when the 4th Doctor was sent back to Skaro, to kill the Daleks, but couldnt do it.
The Daleks learned from this Moment, that the Timelords had seen into the future and tried to alter it, by killing the Daleks.
So from their point of view, they are the "ultimate" in the universe and the Timelords wanted to change that. Like every War, someday it got total and went bigger and bigger.
To all who say, my arguments are not canon because its Big Finish...since Night of the Doctor, all BF Audios are caonon, because by letting the 8th Doctor remember his "Audio only" companions in a TV episode, Moffat canonised all the audios.
Have you done the top ten EastEnders 'doof doof's' yet?
Bigger questions: Will the BBC wise up and chuck Chibnall as showrunner? Will 'Doctor Who' ever be good again? Hell, will it ever be 'eh, okay' again?
i read somewhere that this season will be his last.Hope its true!
Yet millions of people still love the series and have no more of a problem with Chibnall as they did Davies and Moffat. I’ve been hearing this , “It’s not as good as when X was the Doctor/The Runner/Script Writer/Companion” since 1970. It’s old, boring and, since the advent of social media, the source of nonstop infantile whinging.
It was said ages ago that this second season will be both Chibnall and Jodies last season.
@@wendellgw jodie is not a bad actor at all but i think the role as the doctor doesnt suit her( the writing is bad too)
Wendell G-w It was unsubstantiated rumour then and it’s unsubstantiated rumour now.
If they do end up leaving sooner rather than later it will be down to the constant whinging, unjust criticism & concerted harassment of people who claim to be fans of the show but do everything they can to tear it apart.
have you people ever heard of big finish? (adjusts bowtie aggressively). they have a series called The time war featuring the 8th doctor which leads up to his regeneration into the war doctor, AND the BBC regards them as cannon!
not to mention 6 stories with the war doctor
The Timelords' attempt to meddle with the 'Genesis of the Daleks' is generally considered to have been the first aggressive act of the Time War.
The reapers have already been explained countless times.
Not only did rose and the doctor see themselves like they shouldn't, but rose also saved her father like she shouldn't have.
A paradox in a paradox, which is the only way reapers were caused and is the only instance of this happening in the show.
I've got a different Time War related question: What the hell are/were the rules of the Time Lock around it? Because it was both completely impenetrable and easily escaped by powerful diamonds/random mad Daleks depending on what the plot required lol
I'm pretty sure the time lock disappeared when the Doctors saved Gallifrey. And majority Daleks died in crossfire. Daleks from season 1 finale were crossfire survivors. Only dalek Caan broke the time lock and it drove him made.
I think you've just answered your own question there, whatever the plot requires...
I think the time war started when in 'Remembrance of the daleks' the 7th doctor destroyed skaro
9. Throughout the scene leading up to the roof, we heard the statue making footsteps. These would be the times when people were not looking/blinking. If it moved at the speed of a regular angel, it would have arrived at the roof in one go, not several slow steps.
7. It was never specified that he was a direct descendant of Clara and Danny, just implied. Danny was in a childrens home the first time he meets the Doctor, and could have possibly been a twin, but had the misfortune of being taken away due to his parents not being able to cope with two. They kept his identical twin, who could have gone on to have kids with a relative of Clara, perhaps a cousin or something, someone we haven't met yet, who was a time traveller as Orson explained. This would explain his connection to Clara, and why he looked a lot like Danny.
6. Because shut up, that's why.
5. Yes.
4. Perhaps they feed on the specific paradox energy created by Rose passing by past Doctor and past Rose to save her dad.
3. Because they could have shared an adventure off screen (in our perspective) after SitL/FotD.
3. They have, big finish has her meeting plenty of classic doctors however each time their memory is wiped
In Time of the Doctor I’m baffled by Clara being able to click her fingers while wearing gloves?
Most of these are answered. Great job WatchMojo.
What happened to ace? At the end is survival she still was travelling with the doctor. But in the 1996 TV movie she isn’t there or even mentioned
I'm not sure of its Canon but there were Doctor Who audios by big finish that sometimes answer questions that weren't shown on screen. Also there's a new season 26 collection DVD trailer:
czcams.com/video/sgHRLi02JAc/video.html
There was a short promo for the release of that series on disc that featured the actress that played Ace. She left and started a charity called ACE. But she keeps her old jacket by the door for a "Get your coat situation". There is an outline of a question mark shaped umbrella handle on the door and she gets her old jacket for "One more adventure". I think it is supposed to be like SJS's cameos in DW and The Doctor's cameo in The SJ Adventures.
How did the doctor meet Mel?
@@Sunnucksboi The sixth doctor had add an entire season of stories: Trial of a Timelord. He was put on trial by the Time Lords. A witnesses called to the stand up was a future companion mel. He didn't know her but she knew him and had traveled with him. So the Doctor first met her when she walked into the trial.
A future Ace is said to appear in this year's DVD and Blu-Ray edition of Season 26 in which she was a companion. She is running a charity and wondering if the Doctor will show up, and he does briefly. I haven't seen it.
River song thought the doctor would know her because after Silence in the library and the forest of the dead the tenth doctor went to go and visit her. That is why the eleventh doctor knew her in time of angles and flesh and stone.
I thought the origin of the Time war was the 12th season (4th Doctor, Tom Baker) serial "Genesis of the Daleks" when the Time Lords decided to "interfere with the creation of the Daleks so as to avert a future in which the Daleks rule the universe". Surprising the Time Lords, the Daleks used time travel to undo the various attempts to re-write their future, beginning a time travel arms race where hundreds of planets had their histories altered and became destroyed; the survivors looking for new planets to settle on.
Well river didnt know she was going to die and so didnt know if a future version of herself has met him or not. Plus she said he dropped out of the sky knowing everything about her so she knows when he learn about her past but most likely not when he truly met her as strangers
8:19 Maybe river thought that she was meeting the 13th doctor, not the 10th, I might be wrong but it wasn't until she looked into 10's eyes she said he looked younger than shes ever met only then she realized the doctor had no idea who she was. makes sense I think
Sunny54321
Except the 13th doctor is a woman
You have officially gained a suscriber because of the amount of doctor videos
10. We're not supposed to know, but I suppose that does qualify for the list
9. Plothole, but Moff did give an explanation of sorts to cover it, I guess
8. Currently unknown, but Jenny has appeared on the Big Finish audios and met with the 5th Doctor (played by her actress' actual father). Also Moffat was the one who begged Russell T Davies to resurrect her (apparently), but RTD was the one who provided the moon explanation
7. See 9
6. Because reasons
5. Left open, but... apparently?
4. Time always seems to mess itself up or fix itself in differant, random ways in this show. Chalk it down to inconsistant rules lol
3. Given how many adventures with other Doctors have been implied by the show and its spinoffs, it can probably be assumed that River has run into a later version of 10 who recognised her at some point (and that the original plan for River still had David Tennant in mind as the current Doctor).
2. See 6
1. Russell T Davies stated that the inciting incident of the Time War was the event of Genesis of the Daleks - in which they saw a future where they had conquered the universe and hired The Doctor to prevent their creation. Once the Daleks had become aware of this fact, they declared war on them. In fact, going further into the Classic series, you can see more animousity grow between the 2 races - between the Daleks creating duplicates of The Doctor and his companions to assassinate the Time Lord High Council in Resurrection of the Daleks, to the Daleks attemptig to use an ancient Time Lord weapon to destroy Gallifrey in Remembrance of the Daleks.
Question 11. Who is Jim the fish?
River doesn’t know the order of the doctor’s faces.
The reapers were killed by the doctor after Father’s Day.
The time war was started after the fourth doctor tried to annihilate the Daleks.
How The Doctor and Clara escaped was that they could leave easily.
Of course she knows the order! She's got a spotter's guide! (I wonder if Clara wrote it? After her trip into D's timeline, she would be an expert.) I don't understand how that's supposed to be a problem, though. We never see River with Tenet except in that show but that doesn't mean they never met.
WHEN did the Doctor kill them?? The Reapers pretty much have to exist outside of time.
I think of Genesis of the Daleks was the start of the Time War in the show but asking when it started is a very weird question. There's a lot of time travel involved. Genesis starts with the Doctor being yanked back in time, but we've got no idea when the Time Lords decided to do that. Was it in the far future? Was it just a century or so after Genesis of the Daleks? We've got no idea.
ZlothZloth Ten meeting River has to be the first time they meet because ten would know who she is like eleven recognised her at the Byzantium. But maybe she asked just incase 10 knew who she was so you might be right.
The reapers were killed off in the expanded media (I think it was the 4 doctors: 10,11,12 and war).
There’s a hint that the 7 knows about a war going on in Galifrey. But not sure if it is true that the time war starts after the dalek civil war.
"Nobody steps on a church in my town!" Ghostbusters
You forgot the monster or being in Midnight. That was a mystery that was never solved. She may have died in that body but she was running around out there before the body.
The Time war Started with the 7th doctor had the hand of omega and he blowed up the daleks home world. (In remembrance of the daleks.)
The Time War was initiated far further back than that. The Time Lords sending The Doctor's fourth incarnation back in time to prevent their creation, is now seen as the 'first shot' in that conflict. Understandably, the Daleks resented this action all through their history, and answers why they have tried to destroy The Time Lords, and The Doctor in particular. It has also been surmised that the Daleks had abandoned Skaro before The Doctor's seventh incarnation destroyed it with 'The Hand Of Omega', and had colonised another planet in their local system, which, with typical Dalek imagination, they called 'Skaro II'. This was done to let The Doctor think he'd wiped them out, but they were well established on their new planet, which is presumably the one seen at the start of the 1996 movie that introduced Paul McGann's brilliant eighth incarnation of The Doctor.
LJW I forgot that. But yeah the event did start in Genesis
@@brianartillery Right. Russel T. Davies said he believed that was the Time Lords were responsible for "firing the first shot in the war" when the Fourth Doctor was sent by them to destroy them in Genesis.
Remember though that the full name of 'the Time War' referred to throughout the post 2005 era is just short for "The Last Great Time War". We know from the short 'Night of the Doctor' that up to the end of his 8th incarnation the Doctor insisted that he would "have no part in" and that whilst he offers "help where [he] can [he] will not fight" in that particular war. We also know that from the 1996 TV Movie that there was some sort of treaty or other peaceful agreement in place between the Daleks and Time Lords by the end of 7th's life; that is necessary to account for the Masters 'execution' (as opposed to just being exterminated on the spot) and the Doctor being permitted to (attempt to) return his remains to Galifrey.
I completely agree the 7th Doctor is definitely doing some very war-y things in 'Rememberance of the Daleks', but the simplest resolution is that what we're seeing in 'Rememberance' is a somehow separate conflict. I would say 'earlier' but I can't quite wrap my head around how the concept of 'earlier' applies to time wars.
ladycplum the daleks had invaded galifrey - Romana sent a message through another time lord (Narvin) to push the Doctor to go to Skaro to stop the Daleks. So really, the Daleks made the first move (listen to the Big Finish series “Galifrey” - it’s great! 😀
Basically how Moffat creates potholes.
Max Love Moffat did the same in Sherlock, it's probably his writing style.
David Tennants era had the best music as well
5:22
Because it's a fix in time, and if he got Rory and Amy back it would change history and it could lead to disasters: crack in time, end of the world etc...
I thought Adelaide's paradox was solved when she killed herself.
I’ve always been curious about how Elton from “Love & Monsters” recognised the Doctor despite being a newly regenerated Doctor........hmm.......🤔🤔🤔
He wasn't newly regenerated when he met him on each occasion
The Doctor has a time machine. Him visiting young Elton's house could have happened at any point in his incarnation - even after meeting him at the end of Love and Monsters.
Twelve made it canon that "Doctor Who" is an official nickname in World Enough And Time:

NARDOLE: It's not, is it?
(The lift is slowing. 8, 7. The Doctor has got very close to Jorj.)
DOCTOR: I like it...
Dalek : Doctor Who ?
Doctor: I'm Batman
His name is Basil
How did you know!?

@@maxeyre2024 . truth. very well thought out!
if the doctor was to land the TARDIS outside of new york then go to amy and rory, the angels would be able to sense the psychic paper and the sonic screwdriver and waould start their invasion/attack(as the angles have been on earth since the first statues have been made) sooner than they intented to, therefore causing a larger paradox or even i rip in space-time so big that it could result in a black hole
The Answers
1) It gives the Doctor some mystery.
2) It used a perception filter.
3) Probably not.
4) Danny's long lost cousin's descendant.
5) Wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.
6) Yes.
7) The Reapers only appeared because Rose erased a previous versison of her and the Doctor which didn't happen again.
8) They always meet in the wrong order.
9) Changes need time to cement in place.
10) The Daleks attacked Gallifrey and the Time Lords attacked back and so on and so forth until the Doctor ended it all.
I will not reveal a thing!
We know so much more about the time war and it’s causes ... you just need to listen to Big Finish ....
The first character to ask "Doctor Who?" was The Doctor himself, in the very first episode.
The Time War was started in "Genesis of the Daleks" when a Time Lord diverted the Fourth Doctor and recruited him for a mission to retcon the Daleks into nonexistence. After he failed, the Daleks' history was still altered, and they revived Davros, whose stated goal was to wipe out the Time Lords, in "Destiny of the Daleks". By "Remembrance of the Daleks" the Seventh Doctor managed to destroy the planet Skaro. But it came back in "The Movie", suggesting serious alteration of time; and by the end of the Eighth Doctor's run, the war was in full swing (see "Night of the Doctor"). For further developments in the Time War see the numerous Big Finish audio adventures.
The majority of these questions have been resolved in the Big Finish audios. Give a listen and you'll be surprised.
that is EU and does not count within the show.
Rob Pollock we are still in the eu at the moment of you haven’t noticed
@@iris7301 what?
Rob Pollock you heard me
@@robpollock9720 The Night of the Doctor is a prime example of how it fits. When the 8th Doctor is rolling off the list of his past companions, they're ALL from his adventures in Big Finish.
The doctor did go back to see Amy and Rory. Series 7 part 1 happened out of order as it is the doctor going back to see them.
Quick reminder pls?
Rahm Odin reminder of what?
According to Davies, one of the triggers for the Time War was the Daleks learning just who was behind the Doctor's orders in Genesis of the Daleks.
I think a younger version of River maybe ran into Tennant's Doctor after the events of "silence in the library" and we just not saw it. Not all their encounters are showed to us.
I don't mind taking second 😂
First
Most of the questions have one simple answer:
Moffat is really good in creating bad resolutions.
But remember, this is a show that has sometimes waited 45 years to pay off something that was said earlier. Don't think of it as "bad resolutions". Think of it as "little bits of plotline that may not get resolved until long after we're gone"
A couple of these questions were answered in the Big Finish audio dramas. A few others were expanded upon and made more confusing.
