RTD said he specifically wanted this Doctor to be emotional, and Ncuti's ability to turn on the tears so well is one of the things that really clinched it.
Which is what i think is letting his Doctor down he's an old relic alien he's suppose to be the opposite of emotions and beyond all that I don't think RTD understands the character anymore if you give the Doctor emotions and make him like everyone else it just makes his character boring and takes away what made the Doctor interesting in the first place the hero, the mystery and just how alien and out of this world he is I'm not saying he shouldn't have emotions but they are getting really overboard with it I think because this is a science fiction show this is not a soap opera.
@@joshuajoshua2732 but the doctor has always been emotional, it's just that they channel different emotions in each regeneration. This doctor is the after effect of a "therapized" doctor, meaning he's in touch with his emotions. Even the classic doctors changed personalities and showcased different emotions to fit in the storyline. It's not like the doctor hasn't cried before, it's just the version of him is more in tune with that. Capaldi was angrier and grumpier, McCoy was much more humorous, smith was very compassionate.
@@joshuajoshua2732 why do you all think being old somehow means he can't be emotional? Or that a show being SciFi somehow precludes it being emotional?
Theres being emotional and there is whatever ncuti is portraying .When other doctors broke down it was rare and impactful because of it. Ncuti seems to break down every single episode in this and its stopped tugging on your heart strings and makes you want to shake him out of it and tell him to act like the doctor and save someone. Outside of killing the goblins in the curch of ruby road this guy has not once used his intelligence, with and doctorness to save the day. Not once, its getting tiresome to watch him keep failing, having other people bail him out while hes sat there crying.
What the fuck are you on about? He solved the space babies problem, no diff, with wit and aplomb. He gave a speech to an AI that was so good it inspired the sliver of consciousness in there to destroy a rival AI. He entirely worked out how to beat Maestro, just wasn't (admittedly) enough of a musical genius to pull it off himself. The next two episodes were Doctor lite, and he wasn't meant to be the "hero". And in this one, a new, incredible character was introduced, who challenged The Doctor and revitalized the show in general. We even got a moment of darkness, with the "that's a long time to suffer" line, it was so good! Tell me you just hate gay people without telling me you hate gay people.
The dance scene between the Doctor and Rogue is beautifully done - especially that lighting shift halfway through that emphasises them and their emotions. And I really like the whole ‘love at first sight’ aspect of the story too - it feels very much in keeping with both Regency romances and the whole Bridgerton vibe.
And boasting rights for me: my old friend and former flatmate Ben Chessell directed this episode. :)
I 100% believe the ring was a tracker. Rogue is a bounty hunter working for the same “Boss” as the Meep mentioned. That’s why he stopped when he saw Tennant’s face.
I think then he would have stopped, when the Doctor told him who he is at the balcony already..
This could maybe be supported by the idea that in the first scene where we meet Rogue “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish is playing in the background. Not that Rogue is practically a bad guy but that maybe he has links to the “bad guys”..
@@marionkruhm5512 There’s more than 1 Doctor in the universe..
Indira Varma (the duchess) was also in _Torchwood._
When she got murdered by the maid, all I could think was “They keep killing Suzie!”
She was wasted in this episode I was hoping her character the Duchess would be another Time Lord.
Maybe it’s not like the most complicated choreo but I love that the actors learned the dances. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how much music plays a part in this season with the Doctor. I mean there’s a jukebox next to the console!
Maybe the jukebox in the Tardis has something to do with the use of music in this series…
The symbol on the ring kind of looks like the Rogue class symbol from DnD, which would be both fitting and sad as a reminder for the Doctor 😭 Fingers crossed they're reunited sooner rather than later, Ncuti and Jonathan's chemistry is too good to waste 🥰
The way the Doctor said that the ship will WAIT for as long as it takes…I’m wondering if Rogue is The One Who Waits.
Mm interesting 🤔
I agree with your river song opinions! I really want Rogue to come back, I loved his interactions with the doctor.
Lol If it has been Jack Harkness, we definitely know where that gun would’ve been stored.
River would have 100% welcomed Rogue. I definitely agree that River & The Doctor didn’t have the best chemistry, and that it mainly felt one-sided, but I think that was the point.
I loved The Doctor & Rogue’s chemistry in this ep. Doctor fell hard & fast, almost just as quickly as he chooses companions. Hopefully we get to see Rogue in future episodes. I can imagine them rescuing Rogue years & years into the future when he’s already old, and that would be a natural way for the relationship to end (not that the Doctor cares about age).
I gotta start watching Bridgerton if this is a preview of the type of jokes you make 😂
i think that he wont age because the dimension will be outside of time and space
Yes watch Bridgerton I watch it now for head empty brain candy, I love it.
Kylie Minogue played a maid on the Space Titanic.
Voyage of the Damned.
10:27 TBF, it has a perception filter. Better than a cloak, because people will avoid walking right into it and realizing it's there.
I stumbled across your reaction tonight and I enjoyed it immensely. Instantly subscribed!
I'd say the Doctor's sexuality is fluid. Just like his personality changes from one regeneration to another, it would make sense that his sexuality does as well. In "Wild Blue Yonder" Tenant's doctor looked surprised that he really thought Isaac Newton was hot - not in a bad way, just an "I wasn't expecting that twist" sort of way. In my headcannon, 10 was straight, 15 is gay, and 14, being a mix of both, is bi/pan. I think it's more interesting to have his sexuality change when he regenerates than to have it always bi/pan.
river`s dead at this point. she died in the library right after she met capaldi`s doctor. and then somehow talked to the 11th doctor on trenzalore.
It's so weird that series 14 of _Doctor Who_ and season 4 of _Bridgerton_ and season 2 of _Interview with the Vampire_ are all coming out at the same time. And all three shows are connected in _that dance scene._
Yeah, and they had Queen Charlotte in _Space Babies._ And Rege-Jean Page was in _Dungeons & Dragons,_ but I digress.
I was thinking Millie and Ncuti should do a cameo on _Bridgerton._ Or Freema Agyeman and David Tennant, maybe. It would be cute.
Edit: Never mind. You talked about it: -"Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood" is where the Doctor hides and later punishes.- Mme. de Pompadour was the historical figure at the center of "The Girl in the Fireplace."
Thank you, Derek! ⏳ Your hair looks very nice. 🔸 I love this episode. I do hope we'll see more Jonathan Groff. 🔸 I can't tell what the ring is. Some have theorized it's a caduceus, but I don't think so. I guess we'll see.
I agree, Derek’s hair does look very nice today.
@@767wattsy Cheers, Richard! 🥂
The ring looks very like the D&D 5E symbol for the Character Class Rogue.
@@OldManFerdiad Thanks, Ferdiad! I just looked it up... I think you're onto something. 🙂
@@auntvesuvi3872 it's probably only proof that there is a geek working in the prop department that plays D&D haha
another reactor mentioned that bridgerton only airs over the internet so there`s no broadcast signals the aliens could pick up from it.
I loved River Song and The Doctor. I loved Jonathan Groff too.
I really like this episode and the romance also this is the first episode of pride month I hope we get rogue back. unlike Brighton thease costumes seem to vary accurate the seems on the back. fingers cross we get more rogue
You always reward, Lord Waffles. A great viewing here. I was just waiting to get to see you respond to this one.
And, I concur, River Song would be totally down for The Doctor also wedding Rogue.
Thank you for what you do here. Liked and shared.
I feel like this is the way I prefer representation to be done. Just make it have a purpose and importance because even with Captain Jack - he was just openly himself and it wasn't about saying: "Hey, look! It's an LGBTQ+ person. Suck it!" and it was so natural and that's why everyone loved him for just being himself, unapologetically.
Everyone loved Rogue because it isn't just some statement or shouting about anything - he is loved for his character and the connection he developed with the Doctor.
I would have even loved if they made an entire story about how small changes can cause ripples and change history - e.g. how Isaac Newton was changed to a POC and, maybe an entire story about famous figures changing in many ways. They did the same to say how the Toymaker was able to get into their universe and they showed how gravity became "mavity" but I really wanted that to all become its own big thing and not just throwaway things or doing them just to tick boxes.
Why not give it some reasoning, importance and make it very Doctor Who.
There were rumors Ruby wasn't returning, but RTD has said she is returning. If you want more info than that, reply to this and I'll give you the little bit I know.
I feel like some people in the "press" took the announcement of a new companion as "therefore the current companion is leaving", when that is not necessarily the truth.
@@NankitaBR It was even before that was announced, when they saw Ncuti filming with [redacted]. The bad part was how they speculated that Millie must be difficult and that's why she was leaving, which could have followed her if she actually had been leaving. Just wait and see, people.
I am with you on River and Eleven. I never bought their relationship. But I did enjoy her with 12 and 10.
I don't think we're in Bridgerton anymore.
27:12 yeah, that portrait was not a good likeness, if you ask me
I'm making sure to watch the whole video through before commenting this time, won't comment something you already said in the video that I just hadn't reached a third time /lh
18:11 She'd be a bit of a hypocrite if she wasn't fine with it 😅
There was an unexpected face among the Doctors, but I don't know how far into that you are.
I know what it is from other British reviewers. I have never heard of that project.
@@marshsundeen I haven't seen it, but I haven't gotten around to checking whether or where it can be seen.
Susan Twist is the Tardis in human form her name is S Triad which is an anagram for Tardis and Ruby is back in series 2 you have already met the new companion in the episode Boom
Not the companion; the actress. She will play a different character.
I’m SO glad I’m not the only one that didn’t like the Doctor/River romance! I thought I was all alone 😭
We had the queen from Bridgerton in space babies, shame it wasn't this one!
I loved this episode 💯🌈😎🌈🟦💙😎.
Rogue is definitely the one who waits
It's so tricky with River, isn't it? She wasn't born yet in the Regency, and that's the least spoilery thing I have to say.
I wasn’t blown away by this episode. I’m excited for the final though.
Yes!
What you said about River Song 100%!
I had problems with Emily trying to wear Ruby. Ruby's escape doesn't match. With the attempt there was lightning and screaming, and neither of them in the escape. There should have still been a reason shown for them.
She couldn't progress to do that, Ruby stopped her.
I legit thought Ruby was gonna throw a lamb or something at her head.
What was Ruby's plan here?
to avoid getting killed by the bird people so she played along
@@BARALover96 Why would she be killed by the bird people, she has battlemode. Which clearly worked
@@charg1nmalaz0r51 against one not a bunch of them
REG is canon
You should react to Dead boy detectives, very queer and spin off of Sandman ;)
Second time the doctor has almost consigned his companion to doom cos he couldn’t tell them apart from a shapeshifter since November. Donna and Ruby should be very insulted lol
I also really hate how RTD does arcs. He doesn't seem to know what that word means and just sprinkles reciting breadcrumbs foreshadowing whatever he has planed for the finale and does not actually build up to it. Season 2 was the worst with someone once an ep sliding into frame to utter the word torchwood before peacing out.
The Susan’s twist stuff has not really affected anything, our main character are now minor level aware it’s going on, the tardis keeps making weird noises but the doctor isn’t caring, the Ruby stuff has had focus but it’s not like the doctor is investigating it or anything it just keeps repeating in the hopes that a later story might do something with it. I had hoped he’d have learnt long form story telling by watching the Moffat seasons but sadly seems he did not.
The first one was the worse, badwolf. I feel rose would have tried to get back to the doctor without seeing the words badwolf written everywhere. It was so nonsensicle. Although this is rtd whi in the sound of drums finale made people believe in the doctor that made him become young and float... so yeah
My least favourite episode so far. I liked the flirty chemistry between Rogue and the Doctor, but the romance was rushed and seemed contrived. I love a good gay romance, but to go from strangers to I'll sacrifice my life for you, in a matter of a few hours, I don't buy it. The whole Bridgerton setting, yawn, just seems to be pandering to bored housewives who want to romanticise England in the 1800's. And lets face it in that time and that place, the Doctor would have had to face more racism then he did in Dot and Bubble.
On a rewatch I did enjoy the episode I was harsh on it first time round but I never liked seeing the Doctor in any sexual relationships it's not Dr. Who when they do that he's meant to be a billion year old a-sexual alien Time Lord and I'm getting so fed of Ncuti's Doctor crying every episode it's just gotten to the point now I'm like "oh give it a rest" but aside from that I really enjoyed it.
personally im fine with it as long that its not the companion
also i think thats the point of this doctor that he is much more emotional
at what point is the Doctor an asexual alien? The time where he has his granddaughter with him, meaning he's had sex? Or the multiple love interests and flings the doctor's had and hints that he's been more than hand holding with people he's run into?
@@BARALover96 if this is what emotional gives us i would rather him not be, then he might actually act like the doctor again and save somebody
I mean, it's established in 1963 that he's a grandfather, so he's had children and The Doctor has repeatedly talked about having had a family since 2005 and in the classic series (last reference was, I think, in S26's The Curse of Fenric). Then he gets engaged (albeit accidentally) to a woman he is flirting with in the 1964 story The Aztecs and there is genuine affection. So it's very much a later read for The Doctor to be ace or aro, but I do think it's a valid if that's your headcannon - especially given the "no touching the young female companions" rule the Producer had in the 80s.
My headcannon is that their attraction/connection can change with each regeneration, plus being likely to outlive their partners making The Doctor cautious of long-term commitment.
Tennant as 10th was definitely not ace/aro given the obviously romantic if not sexual relationship with Rose and, well, the whole Madame du Pompador and Queen Elizabeth of it all. Absolutely everyone Moffat writes is grotesquely horny, so Matt Smith's 11 was explicitly sharing nights with River (according to her) or at least kissing (according to him). Capaldi definitely has a more mature connection with River and they spend the night - 24 years - on Darillium, before she goes to meet her death in The Library.
you guys realize that ace people can still have relationships and even have sex right?? Being ace does not mean not having sexual relationships, for some that is the case but for a lot of people it is also a spectrum! There are ace people who do have sexual relationships!
