Hes taking away the Doctors ability to RUN
Nailed it (pun intended)
Still, you would think with everything it can do that he could just deactivate it with the sonic screwdriver.
ofc, dunno why he thinkts thats such a major tease
No joke, running in this series basically triggers the plot armor in most occasions...
No it's to blink.
⊠even I can see what that thing is. Run. The doctor canât run from this.
It's the deadly Roomba vacuum
thats exactly what i thought!
@korova_mesto I had A roomba vacuum at home which my family decided to name "the suckinator 2000".
what thing
@@justsomeguywithhalfamustac6837 watch the video to understand.
Heâs talking away his ability to âRun you clever boyâ
I was going to say too soon, but then I realized that was first said 11 years ago.
Currently working my way through previous episodes, just watched Asylum of the Daleks where this is said for the first time đ Shocking that its 11 years old!
HE'S REMOVED HIS LEGS!!!!!
Two things, surely?
đ
The eleventh Doctor's worst fear come true!!
ââ@@TheLeagueOfSteveIn theory you could remove both legs as one section... You'd just have to aim high enough.
@@HOTD108_as I guy I do not like the implications of what else would need to expload
Harry im standing on a landmine.
Almost Heaven, West Wirginia,
@@femyeah3064 I understood that reference
â@@femyeah3064my hope is that the doctor does something similar. But when he steps off it's a dud
I hoped you would carry on with the lyrics, that's why I put a comma at the end, but I guess not then...đ„Čđ
@@femyeah3064 tbh I did forget the lyrics
This is why moffat is so so good at single episodes. His series long arcs always get so convoluted and overly-complex, but his single episodes story telling is so so tight that it makes for FANTASTIC TV.
He ran away and stole a TARDIS.
If he runs this time, he'll die.
Good to see my man back. Such a legend
How much his time is missed on DW. This season so far has been too much of typical RTD. Bleh
Same here! all those crazy mad fans mustâve regret having him gone. Heâs responsible for revitalising the Whovian franchise!!
BOOO!! HISSSS!!!
I do credit him with bringing modern who back. The great thing is this is its flexibility, but that means some doctors and show runners click with different people.
That's what everyone said about RTD coming back remember... (And look how _that_ turned out?)
I think there should be 1 Moffat story every season until the end of time(and possibly beyond) since they're always so darn good
They should all be Moffat stories. Far superior to RTD
The fact they were doesn't mean they will be. RTD was as well considered a savior. But right now it is a disaster. So I wouldn't count on anything good. I'd rather brace myself for an impact...
This is true, but Moffatâs stories were always more true to the Dr. Slightly darker but still with some humour.
@@elliebouali AGREED. ALL Moffat stories would be so much better than RTD!
â@@ellieboualiI agree, whether you liked the 11th and 12th doctor or not, you cant say that the balance between humour and the darkness of the doctor wasn't perfect
Even tho we know the doctors gonna live, moffat will still find a way to make this premise feel huge and consequential- what a great writer, glad to see him back
In 2023: The Return Of The King
In 2024: The Return Of The Another King
sorry which is the first king?
@@fireice_ RTD. Who else?
@@mikihorvath6274 Unpopular opinion, I didn't like the return of RTD. I'd say in the past he was pretty good but I don't like the way he's scripted current and past episodes recently. I've never hated a moffat epiosde, so I'm expecting a lot from the real King
@@fireice_ never hating on a moffat episode is craaaazzzzzzzzzzyyyyy
@@boraqued give me a single bad moffat episode
Thank you Mr Moffat for the first episode I actually enjoyed this season.
You have given me hope.
Same. Mofatt truly has given me hope :)
I would assume the screwdriver, since he doesn't just disable the mine.
Maybe its deadlock sealed
I think running.
Like, especially during the RTD era, there was a lot of running.
Very unlikely since the Doctor went without his sonic screwdriver for the most of the 80s, so we already had about a decade worth of Doctor with no sonic. That's not even including the fact that the Doctor didn't even use the sonic screwdriver for roughly the first 6-7 years of the show's existence.
â@@sheersternfeld1914Eh, not as much as we say in Moffat's era. Matt Smith had what felt like a dozen speeches about running.
Could be designed to detonate if tampered with.
Moffat is 62, how does he look that good?
Yeah yeah, he moisturises! You can't say that one!!!!!!
He doesn't look a day over 64... Also, you've got something brown and stinky on the tip of your nose there, mate.
Cough splitter đđđ
Moisturize me! Moisturize me!
@@kaydisney9872 * splutter * ...but thank you for laughing, needed that today.
Sorry but he looks 62 to me. 62 isnât quite rotting.
So happy to see Steven returning to Whoniverse
Welcome back Moff.
Finally we get some of that Moffat writing. Hope he sticks around.
I already know what it is.......
*RUN!*
His mind.
The Tardis ran out of coffee or something and he woke up in the middle of a deep dream, so his mind is in a fog.
... Gotdamn you Moffat. LMAO I can't stand how much I loved this. No running, no Sonic, one place. Like... anyone who refuses to watch Doctor Who anymore missed out on an episode on the level of Blink.
It wasnât THAT good tbh. Kind of boring imo unfortunately
@@ozmond I really didn't think so! I thoroughly enjoyed the premise, monsters, tension, the drama, some of the humor, the callbacks. It may not be everyone's cup of tea and that's fine. But for me, it's among one of the best we've ever gotten.
@@TreyMcDonaldAnimator really really good episode, almost at the level of Blink, almost. I just needed an explanation for why didn't he use his sonic. But yeah, the story can work without it, it's fine
I liked it :)
â@@tm30shadowball37
I mean, he had a lot of struggles already to keeping in place.
He even mentioned to Ruby, when standing on only one foot, that any wrong move could blow it.
I can accept that he just couldn't find a comfortable position to take out his sonic.
@@TreyMcDonaldAnimator no monster, the plot and villain are taken from previous episodes hes written, very preachy and it makes the twist quite predictable. Dont think its anywhere near blink, its more like oxygen but done worse
His sonic screwdriver
This man is a DOCTOR WHO genius
Return of the King đ
King of what? Failure?
@@hraefnscar8509
I missed you, Moffat haters, I wonder if the legendary Moffat hater is here too.
It's been so long since we have heard his impressive dislike for all things Moffat.
Moffat how youâve been missed. Before the time when he went too Moffat
The Queen*
@@jeckjeck3119 brings me back to better days when Doctor Whoâs biggest problem was people shaking their fist going âMoffatttttt!â
0:27 that expression on the Doctor... that is pure panic. This always positive and cheerful Doctor is completely terrified and in sheer panic.
And Ncuti is such a good actor honestly
I would be too if I discovered I'd stepped on a landmine.
...only when portraying himself... (That look of pure panic must've been when he read the viewer-ratings for the show...)
@@MrPGC137 The Saturday evening ratings are pretty much irrelevant now. Fewer and fewer people watch broadcast TV now, more people use iPlayer, and for Doctor Who, the ratings are global. The ratings of those who watch it on BBC1 on Saturday evening are a drop in the bucket, most people are streaming their shows now. Nice try though.
@@MrPGC137 i don't believe there is comprehensive viewer rating data available yet. it's not easy to count given the different platforms and i don't even know if Disney+ releases their viewing figures publicly.
but you can rest assured they're not limited to the overnight BBC One viewers.
Doctor Who is released worldwide at the same time now. The audience is far larger than it ever was.
â@@MrPGC137 You have to know they don't film these week to week
Doctor Who really needed that episode.
"Doctor, you NEVER run!"
"Remove from him the one thing he ALWAYS does"
It was "you never HIDE". The Doctor can run, but he would never cower in a corner, waiting for the danger to pass.
@@JRHainsworth I guess you're right.
I understood that as him being surprised he's scared more than him being surprised that he's running.
I have basically 0 object permanence, so I might be wrong.
@@sheersternfeld1914 Too late for that; he already hid in episode 2 this season.
@@SpiderboyN2Jesus yes, and then Ruby got surprised because "he never hides". That is literally the scene we're talking about.
@@sheersternfeld1914 why? This video is about a different episode đ€Šđ»ââïž.
"Harry.... I'm standing on a landmine.."
Thank you, Steven
King moff đ€Ž
Real. Hello crispy. I love your content
Stephens writing!? I can't wait!!!
Hell yeah!
I love Moffat's episodes. I've no doubt this is gonna be amazing.
Only Moffat can write an episode that is stationary but suspenseful. This episode was way better than the last two. Space babies was awful⊠Devils cord was okay till that twist at the end đâŠ
Moffat we all miss you! Hope to see more stories from youâ€
Welcome back to the Whoniverse, Steven!
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!
@@hraefnscar8509 isn't that what he was doing?
Welcome back from me too
â@@hraefnscar8509 That's what you really like to do? Go to almost every positive comment and being a hater? You really enjoy it?
Love to see Mof bringing back angsty who!!! Hope to see some more of him in the future
This is why the TARDIS is wheelchair accessible now
Ooooooh, this looks like the sort of conundrum we love in DrWho. Can't wait!
So excited for Boom đ
Not exactly a hot take, but Moffat was at his best when he could pour his creativity into one story per series (look at the fan/critical acclaim Empty Child, Blink, Shadows in the Library, etc still have!)
Him being showrunner was amazing in theory, but in practice it felt like he had to spread himself too thinly across a whole series and had to significantly dilute his writing talents.
Looking forward to this, though!
(And for the record, Coupling is still one of my all time favourite sitcoms!)
Well, Series 5 and 6 were good. 5 was a banger, and whilst 6 was a little over the top complex it was still great. It was everything after where things tumbled downhill, and I believe he had just burned out his creative juices having to do so much year after year
Hopefully after the 7 year break hes had and just doing single episodes will see him re-ignite what made his original work so good
I also feel like it showed his writing flaws more easily.
Such as it's hard for him to write female characters who aren't femme fatal or a masculine-coded character.
His strength is concentrated stories.
He was even better when he took something common like a statue and made something deadly.
Yay, Lots of love for Coupling! :D
I get you. When heâs got boundaries heâs fab, left to his own devices his stuff could get a bit convoluted.
SAYING THAT
Heâs still the best Doctor Who writer IMO, seasons 5 and 10 being his best, and he also wrote the 50th anniversary so snaps for that!
So glad the Moff is back. Best episode since Capaldi left.
STEVEN WE MISSED YOU SO MUCH. Thank you for that marvelous episode !!
Welcome back Moffat!
I CANâT WAIT TO SEE PEAK FROM STEVEN MOFFAT đ„đ„đ„
His peak was twelve years ago! It's all been downhill ever since! BECAUSE OF HIM!
@@hraefnscar8509 seethe lil bro he made the best doctor and best stories, he had the best era
@@hraefnscar8509 your opinion, not ours. if you hate it, you hate it. no reason for arguing.
@@hraefnscar8509 thatâs just your opinion
And after this episode Steven Moffat is going to bring "Joy to the World " this Christmas
Yesssssss heâs back!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOM!
Iâve watched Who since the Pertwee days and the Moffat/Matt Smith era is the absolute best Who has ever been
I've been watching since the Pertwee days as well, in fact he is still my favorite Doctor. But I think everything Moffat did to the franchise after Smith's first two seasons was horrid. He even said he was more interested in "Sherlock." When fans complained about the declining quality he called it a "kid's show" (as opposed to a family show--ALL ages). BBC nearly cancelled the show under his "show-running" (show ruining) and he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near it ever again.
I can't wait, I'm so happy Moffat is back with an incredible premise!
Thank you Steven Moffat for reminding me what this show was about, and that with the right writer it can still be good
BOOM! Moffat is back!
BOOOO!
Hell yeah. Hope he'll write even more episodes.
Talk? The Doctor always talks.
That would be a great episode, something taking away the power of speech!
@@thesagebrushkid1kind of happened in midnight
@@sirmorbs3729 it did! And that was a damn good episode!
Iâm thinking of that episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer when they all had their voices removed. That level of silence. Let Murray Gold carry an episode!
@@thesagebrushkid1 Hush. One of the best episodes of sci-fi ever. Yes. It would indeed be amusing to see how Doctor Who might deal with not being able to talk, and have to do charades to communicate. Could we get Anthony Head to appear in that episode too? Just 'cause. :-) Oh, and the Silence monsters back in 11's era always reminded me of the Hush monsters in Buffy.
@@thewiseturtle this sounds amazing! Russel, Moffat, if youâre reading this take note and copyright this thread thnx
Run....
YEEEESS! HE'S BAAACK!! SAVE US, MOFFAT!
Either itâs the tardis or the sonic
My first thought was pacing. The Doctor paces a lot when thinking. Enthusiastic pacing. Especially this Doctor. But, really, what Moffat's talking about is running.
Canât wait not long to go to seeing that episode đđđ»
I'm so excited. Some of my favorite Doctor Who episodes were ones written by Steven Moffat
The GOAT is back!
I have not started watching the new show yet but this looks absolutely awesome!!!
if the answer isn't "Running" it's wrong
My favorite writer for Doctor Who is back!! Thank you! I loved this episode. Welcome back. â€
Steven, you glorious bastard, are you trying to kill us?
Can't wait to watch this!!!
he's removed "movement"
Probably his ability to regenerate
He's taking away the Doctor's spoon. đ
Itâs the fact he canât runâŠ.. or heâs taken away the Sonic.
_"When I say run......... RUN!!!"_
This time, however, he can't.
He lost his sonic many times. Even in last episode. Also it was in Eleventh Hour as a part of "I have nothing with me now I gonna save the world".
If go deep there was no sonic since Fifth in the rest of the classic.
I like idea from other comments: he will lose his ability to run. But I wanna say more: ability to move. Do anything even.
BUT if the idea is even furhter behind and he won't be able to TALK a lot - my god we have 100% banger.
I'm guessing it's the ability to run away!
The sonic screwdriver.
He canât run, he canât be a clever boy, and he canât remember!
Can't blink, can't breathe, can't look, can't think and now you can't walk.
What are my chances of survival again?
I didn't really enjoy the first two episodes this season (especially not the first one), and Moffat's era of new Who was my favorite so I'm very excited for this episode and hope it'll turn my opinion of the season so far around.
I hope it does too! I enjoyed the first two (definitely the second more than the first) but am so excited for what looks like a heavier story
The First 2 Episodes Were Complete S#ĂT!! đ
I would guess it is his sonic screwdriver, so he can not deactivate those land mines.
I hope we get more moffat after the 2024 christmas special
We're gonna need Harry for this one
harry I'm standing on a landmine
Well, at least it wasn't a giant mutant clam like with Harry Sullivan
Which episode was that? I've been meaning to watch more of the classic era, that sounds fascinating lol
@@phlippy It's in the first part of Genesis Of The Daleks
I think this episode will be the best one in this season. Its a tense concept that takes full advantage.
This episode was best yet, I just did not enjoy the other ones so far so it was nice to see the doctor being the doctor again
This was my favorite episode so far for the 15th Doctor. It felt like the Doctor with some of the Doctorâs personality peeking out because everything wasn't peaches and sunlight. Thank you, Steven Moffet!
Gosh, I sure hope its not the Doctor's sonic thing-a-ma-bob. I mean, whatever would he do without it. Oh my goodness.
Certified banger waiting to drop
You're KIDDDDDING ME
He really needs to come back as showrunner
Indeed.
Most definitely
Glad to see a competent/one of the best writers back. My guess is his sonic is missing/he doesnât have, otherwise I doubt a mine would be an issue with it, so most likely his sonic.
Ok, Iâm back having watched the episode, I see how even with his sonic, the Doctor was screwed. Those mines are were really freaking me out, epically the the gap between the light.
He can't run from the danger... The doctor always runs.
Nah, it's just deadlock sealed. :P
Iâve always had a belief that Moffat was the best at writing self contained episodes and two parters - whereas russel in my opinion is better at writing an overarching narrative across season that makes you cry at the end - the David tennant era was emotional af
Unless it's deadlock sealed, or wood đ
@@oliverfalcon2868I donât wanna go
Thumbnail goes hard
I swear the pattern of doctor who rn is every 3 episodes theres a good one
Moff was a good showrunner. No-one had any complaints. I will watch this week only because of it.
"No-one had any complaints."
Man, the internet really has the memory of a goldfish
no complaints? tell that to Peter Capaldi
⊠you must be new to this fan base.
The best writer the show has had, though of course not everyone agrees. Somewhat less good as a showrunner.
That's definitely not true lol.. I loved his run (setting aside most of season 9) but DW fans are VERY unforgiving and Moffat's era was no exception
OH STEVEN MOFFAT YOU LEGEND
Glad he's back. đđ
Where's Dr Sullivan when you need him?
Good to see Moffat writing for Doctor Who again, hope they get more past writers back.
NO IT ISN'T! He nearly destroyed the show!
@@hraefnscar8509 Ramble on, won't change his opinion. or yours.
I'm hoping for Jamie Mathieson at some point, Oxygen was one of the best parts of season 10
â@hraefnscar8509 Bro what. No he didn't. He wrote some of the best episodes. It was Chibnall who nearly destroyed the show. Not Moffat
@@phlippyOxygen wasnât in Season 10.

Can i just this episode screaming references to moffats previous era like The kiss kiss reminded me of river or fish fingers and custard and more, even the doctor mentioning dad to dad as he is one too. I love this.
Loved this episode, i wasnt fond of the first two but this one was so good.
Such a brilliantly written and directed episode! Everything was great!
Finally, something good. Thank you, Steven.
A mine blows up a Timelord, he'll just regenerate. No big deal.
Not if thereâs nothing to regenerate from. We donât know what kind of explosives those are. Boom.
If it blows up his body to pieces he wonât have the capacity to regenerate
Usually regeneration needs him to be aware enough. If he is a pile of body parts scattered around I doubt even he will survive
The king has returned
We've already seen it Moffat as you removed the ability from him before. The ability for his companions to stay dead.
