#DoctorWho #Reaction - Zábava
You’ll come back to this episode a few times. The writing and the acting is just so much more appreciated as you get more context.
I was just about to comment this!
Yeah especially once u reach a certain episode
10:46 I actually cry here when he asks "who are you" and River just slumps down in pain. It just means so much more when you've seen her full arc.
Yessss you're finally meeting my favourite Doctor Who character River Song. She's so iconic!
Jay, my darling, when River was ready to fire and yelled "Duck!"...you ducked.
Welcome to the River Song section of Doctor Who. Your life will never be the same again.
"every shadow?" "No...but any shadow" that line always creeps me right out. This episode (and the next) are definite standouts for the series. Brilliance.
This was written by Steven Moffat, who also wrote the "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" (with the gas mask kid) in S1, "The Girl in the Fireplace" S2, and "Blink" (Weeping Angels) S3.
Honestly one of my favorite episodes of the whole show. The Vashta Nerada are awesome (both the moving shadows and the skeleton-in-a-suit). River Song is awesome. So much good stuff.
Steven Moffat is such a BEAST
@JayPerView
The 9th and 10th Doctors had Russel T. Davies, as the showrunner
The 11th and 12th Doctors had Steven Moffat as the showrunner
13 had Chris Chibnall
14 has/will have Russel T. Davies again
(Showrunner: the person who has overall creative authority and management responsibility for a television program.)
@@nerddwarf
After Russel, it should be Moffat again.
@@jeckjeck3119
I believe RTD chose Moffat as his successor, Moffat chose Chibnall, and the BBC chose RTD again because they weren't going to give Chibnall the power to choose his successor
@@nerddwarf rare BBC W
And so he has been introduced to the wonderful River Song! 😁👍
One of my all time favorites - our first episode with River Song ❤❤ oh, we are in it now: “hello sweetie” 🫠
River song has one of the BEST (if not the best) story arcs in all of doctor who, the continuity of her character through all the seasons she’s in is incredible!!!
And thus began the epic of River Song.
*ended
I will always love his pure and positive enjoyment of this show
It’s the best! ❤❤❤
Me too. I get excited for certain episodes just to see how he'll react. We're into absolute PEAK territory right now and can't wait. I'm also looking forward to how he'll react to the next doctor and companion. I've watched a few reaction channels but very few are this genuine and invested.
@@BlaiddDrwg2009 PEAK!
this and his reaction to Martha gives me hope that he will be a lot kinder to some characters who the fandom hate unnecessarily (in my opinion and i'm not going to say who cause spoilers but if you are in fanspaces you should have an idea of who i'm talking about), Martha is a lot more favoured now i don't think she was ever Hated but i remember back around her first series people didn't like her cause they thought she was replacing Rose
@@whpg5ek I think I know what character you may be talking about. My favorite companion is coming up in the next few seasons, and I hope he is kind
I would Ike to finally introduce you to the best reoccurring character in tv history…. In my opinion in tv history not just Dr Who!!!! Welcome to the awesomeness that is River Song!!!!
Agreed! The way they introduced her as someone who already knows him is genius, and her acting is spot on. Her expression when he asks who she is never fails to get me.
@@BlaiddDrwg2009 Alex Kingston is everything that is good and beautiful in this world!!!!! And also, How dare those towers ignore her ;-)
I like the little touches in the script - River’s sonic having Jack’s squareness gun functionality, dust in sunbeams.
HECK YEAH! You've FINALLY reached River Song!! Let's GOOOOOOOO!!!!!
So, you have finally reached the River Song two parter!! I've been waiting for this one! As for the Vashda Nerada, they are indeed quite terrifying. There have been a few Big Finish Audio series, which have spotlighted some of the past encounters earlier versions of the DOctor had with them. They are just the creepiest!!
I wish I could watch this over again for the first time. The first River episode!
River Song is my favorite character and my favorite story line!
This 2 parter is my all-time favorite Doctor Who story, the directing, acting, the soundtracks, the story, it's just brilliant even if it aged a bit
Honestly it only ages like wine to me. Especially with everything yet to come (spoilers), this two parter only gets better and better with time.
@@Jim_The_Fish You really don't appreciate or feel River's expression when he asks who she is until later on. It is amazing continuity.
@@BlaiddDrwg2009 Alex Kingston is brilliant. So amazing in this part.
@@UserName-vb4lg She nailed it. She was stepping into such a huge role considering who she ends up as in the show, and this was such a good introduction. Love her so much.
Love Donna. She is my favorite.
Also nice meeting River
You've finally met the iconic River Song! My favourite episode 'Midnight' is coming up
This series is still my favourite of modern dr who, I love pretty much all the episodes especially this two parter and the final four episodes.
Donna is still my favourite of the modern companions and even a top pick from all the companions both classic or modern.
Oh, this is the two parter I've been waiting for you to get to. River Song is such a cool character! I need to see how you react to part two
The heartbreak is real!
This episode has always creeped me out because I had a serious fear of the dark as a kid and it just brought all that back up in my head. And the more you see River, the more you love her, it's just a fact of life. Pay attention to an interaction she has with the Doctor next episode - it's important!
Oh, hello, sweetie))) You’ve reached River, Jay, and with her, the echoes of wonderful future and two of my favourite characters you are yet to meet)
I love that your comment contains so much for those who know.
It's hard for me to ignore that Josh Dallas is in one of the interface... Josh Dallas is awesome especially in Once Upon A Time.
The fact that rewatching it, make me suprised on who that is~
WOW! I never saw that!
Yeah am shocked he didnt seem to notice tbh
Moffat really knew what he was doing. And welcome to the exiting ride that is River Song. Best storyline ever in the Who.
no, not the best
@@altinaykor364 Yes, the best.
@@lanmandragoran8337 no, it's not
I cannot explain how happy these reactions make me. It's such a joyous thing to see someone experience Doctor Who for the first time and I love that you're enjoying it as much as I do :)
Vashda Nerada is the 2nd scariest monster in my opinion, the 1st scariest is upcoming in my tier-ranking.
"Who are you?" UGH. The feels!!!
I've been waiting for this episode and for this journey to begin
All 10/10 episodes for the next 6 episodes in my opinion. Just amazing stuff.
YES River Songs Here!!!!!
Such a good episode, one of my faves. and the start of an epic series.
what i like is that this episode leaves you with alot of questions and doesn't get solved till waaaay later, you will love it
River Song = GOAT.
and this is where everything starts to change forever
I swear I was literally watching this episode like 20 minutes before this video got uploaded 😳
As a guest writer, Moffat knocks out some of the best stories in the "NuWho" era. He also demonstrates how the strong the show is when it leans into sci-fi/horror. "Midnight", which will occur later in this season is on par with Moffat's stories. It's like Russel T. Davies wanted to show he could match Moffat and in turn creates "Midnight".
The "Unicorn and the Wasp" has a hanging picture in the background, something not to miss. Keep eyes open for a girl and a wolf.
Ahhh yes one of the best and scariest episodes of the show.
I do not recommend watching it at night 😂
The next two episodes are just as creepy and amazing so have fun ❤
oh god here we go!!! so excited for the rest of your reactions 🙌
Ah River, River, River...what has she gotten into this time.
I love the idea of a library the size of a planet.
This episode is such a memorable one. It's so creepy, and so many things happen.
One of my favourite things about this amazing episode is how it changes over years of watching the later seasons. Seemingly minor lines at first watching come to mean so much more when rewatching it after watching episodes from later in the series.
This might be my all time favorite episode (of this doctor)
I've been watching doctor who for so long by myself as not a lot of people in my life like sci fi like I do, and I'm so glad I found your channel! I feel like I get to watch a friend enjoy my favorite show it's really nice :) Can't wait to see you react to more of my fav episodes! This is for sure one of my favorites!
Such an amazing episode!
The making of RIVERS the replacement timemachine for the ascended TARDIS aka the Holy Ghost (monument)
This one gives me nightmares even years later. Every time I hear anyone say "Hey who turned out the lights?" I shudder. And you won't believe how many times people say that. Agh!
LOVE this episode! 😆
You’re gonna love River. I actually got to see her in a production of One Flew Over the Coo-coos nest along with Christian Slater in London. It was my dream trip since I was 12. I’m not normally flying off to other countries.
I've been waiting for this reaction since you started episode 1. One of my all time favs 😊
Did you recognise the American face? It was Charming/David out of OUAT.
It’s very obvious now when I see him, but honestly had no idea at first 😆
@@JayPerView it's not a crossover you would ever expect! He trained in London so is in some British stuff when he was young.
This is one of my favourite episodes ever because it's soo scary and it's about books (As an English lit student it's gotta be).
BUT also because I live about 10 minutes away from where all of this is filmed. The main area of the library where they all end up the round-looking room at 8:04 which was filmed in Swansea Library before it moved locations.
And the area with the steps and the balcony overlooking the library at 2:24 is filmed in the Brangwyn Hall Swansea. BEAUTIFUL building.
Swansea has been used a lot for the filming of doctor who but this one is my favourite. As well as maybe the hospital reception in smith and jones which was filmed at my university (Swansea uni).
Such a great reaction! Your enthusiam is infectious ☺
This episode and the next one, Forest of the Dead, are my favorite episodes. You might be interested to know that Euros Lyn who directed these episodes also directed Heartstopper.
That’s really freaking cool!!!
I've been watching a lot of Doctor Who reactions lately and by far, yours are the best! ❤ I love that you're very expressive and not stoned face like many others. 😂 I really enjoy the way you summarize your recap too. Some people tend to say too little or they take forever to talk about every little detail, making it longer than the actual reaction. 🥱🤣
Silence in The Library and Forest of The Dead are my favorite David Tennant episodes. ❤ But I'm thrilled you're finally into the Matt Smith era.
This is the best reaction I've seen to this episode 😆
Awesome 😄 I’ll have the second part up as soon as I can!!
I get that you have a life and other stuff to react to but I wish you'd upload doctor who more often 😭
I think I live for his Doctor Who and Torchwood reactions right now 😂
Loved your reaction to River Song! So it begins ☺️
7:53 The episode that first introduced Alex Kingston in the Doctor Who universe as River Song.
"- you have two shadows!..."...I never forgot that.
I'm so excited that this is the first video of yours that I'm going to watch, because I am all in.❤😂
I love River.
I was scrolling, saw the title, and my eyes got wide. I'm so here for this. Anyone else feel a lump in their throat on rewatching this?
Love this two parter. As a matter of interest the 2nd face that appeared in the library to the doctor and Donna (the male face) also plays prince charming in once upon a time !
Oh my gosh, finally meeting River Song!
These two-parters were my no. 1 favorite for quite a long while. What a masterpiece!
i met alex kingston at a convention in fifth grade and she was gonna sign a book i had but u had to write what u wanted them to sign beforehand and i wrote hello sweaty.
I love how this episode has you on the edge of your seat the whole time 😂 Absolutely one of the best episodes ever
Mr. Moon's actor was in one of the Pierce Brosnan line of 007 films
God I love this show. This two parter is so outstanding. It’s been one of my favorites since my first watch years ago.
One of my fav episodes! River Song is awesome! ;-]
You have now met river song now be prepared for the best episodes of Doctor who!!!!!!
Notice charming from ouat was in that episode??
Such an amazing episode & possibly the best two-parter of new Who.
Glad you liked it.
I love River Song, her character is just amazing!!
Thank's for a brilliant reaction to what've become one of my favourite stories ever. Doctor Who is so good on making totally normal thing, like shadows (and statues) very scary. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hell yeah bring on part 2 💯👍👍
here we see the sign-up sheet for professional nyctophobia
You have the most AMAZING episodes coming up Bro. Can't wait to see u react to them.
This one and the second are really my favourites!! 🤩🤩
"hello Sweaty." wow! don't know about you but I need more of River Song.
Sweaty 😭😭
The character of River Song and her entire story arc are among the absolute best-written and best performed in the entire show. I envy you that you have all of that ahead of you!
no it wasn't the best
@@altinaykor364 Ok. You're entitled to that opinion. Care to share why you feel that way?
Finally my favorite 3. 10 Doctor, Dona and River Song 🥰
This 2 parter is the first episodes I watched that made me a Doctor Who Fan
Ahhh, welcome to Prof River Song buddy....you're gonna LOVE HER!!😋😋😋👍👍❤❤❤❤
Seeing how crushed River is when she realises that The Doctor doesn't recognise her is such a powerful moment when watching back after seeing future episodes. An excellent performance from Alex Kingston.
Also Catherine Tate is amazing in this episode. It was weird seeing her pull out some serious dramatic chops after being familiar with her for her comedy work before joining Who
Alex Kingston as River Song is my favorite side character of all time. The combination of the writing of her character and Alex's acting are just great.
Here comes River Sooooooooong!
We love River
I can't find your reaction to episode 7! Did you take it down?
One of those donated faces was Prince Charming.
It doesn’t do WOOD! 😂😂😂
Finally enters the best character in the Doctor Who Universe! Her and 11 compete for my fav characters.
Love your reactions but this episode is so important and will make so much sense eventually I’m excited for you to get to watch it for the first time ❤
Yeah, River Song is really good character in the Doctor Who's universe! She was great.
Can you tell what song you used in the very beginning (intro music) ?
love that you're enjoying this show. If you haven't already, I strongly suggest you react to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Buffy is my absolute favourite show and a masterpiece in acting and writing. It's my fave show, followed by Dr Who :)
How come episode 7 isn't on your channel?
If you pay attention to the channels the little girl is flipping through you might see an easter egg! ;)
