"He will knock 4 times." Such a brilliant and heartbreaking misdirect.
I’ve still not recovered 😂
It was ingenious 👍
Except he did knock in the end. Not the banging at the start but the end was definitely knocking.
@@quintuscrinis8032what?
@@quintuscrinis8032 True, but the characters in the show and, I'm sure, most viewers all assumed the prophecy was about the Master because of the rhythm in his head. So the misdirect worked.
People always remember "I don't want to go" but what hits me harder is "Lived too long". He was watching himself become the person he hated, that even considering leaving Wilfred to die made him absolutely sure that it was time.
I agree. I’ve always thought the “live too long” line hits harder than “I don’t want to go.” I feel from the second he heard Wilfred knocking he knew that he had to die to save Wilf which is why he gets so mad. I guess he says “live too long” when he actually realises he needs to be okay with it and save someone’s life rather than his own
Bernard Cribbins was an actual Paratrooper in WWII.
And like Wilf, never took a life.
He was also the doctors companion in 1966 in the film Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.
Slight correction - he was Dr. Who's companion. The main character of those two films that are *based* on ‘Doctor Who’ is a human called Dr. Who. Not 'The Doctor', just Dr. Who. That's his name.@@farmingandmaybemore5175
Not for a glorious cause. Not to save a world, or to stop hell, or to restrain a madman. He died for one sweet old man, simply because it was the kind thing to do.
Not me, a grown man bawling my eyes out at the ending of this episode YET AGAIN.
Don't worry, this grown woman did the same as she was editing this video. :(
Wilfred is a great character, totally wholesome, genuinely likable, plenty of lighthearted feelgood moments. He'd never be the cause of "gut-wrenching anxiety that causes your breath to catch in the sudden lump in the back of your throat, simultaneously triggering all over goosebumps, combined with a sinking sensation like a deep pit opening up in your stomach"
Knock, knock, knock, knock.
It was so much more heartbreaking because of Wilf. He's one to be protected at all costs.
We find out later that his "farewell tour" included all his old companions, to find out how they were doing...and he was so proud of them.
"I don’t want to go."
Still gets me in tears even to this day. 😢
David Tennant was amazing as The 10th Doctor and Russell T Davies was a fantastic showrunner. Now we enter the 11th Doctor and Moffat era. Can't wait for you to watch series 5, you're going to love it.
He always says that..
Makes Avengers: Infinity War hit harder if you watch Dr Who (specifically this scene) first
I once met the lovely RTD & he personally told me to my face the woman was the Doctor's mother. He told me "Who would you want to see to guide you at the end of your life?" that was his approach as a writer.
However it can be anyone in fact he said over the years others have come up with better ideas of who she was & he loved each & every fan's theory.
Vale Decem (Farewell 10 😭) & RIP the iconic Bernard Cribbins
Yeah, it's a lovely idea that's fine for head-canon but it's still "word of god" (i.e. a behind the scenes perspective from the creators) which for me means it's open to interpretation.
You can probably imagine how heartbreaking this was at around 8 years old seeing my hero in his last moments. It was a very sad day across the nation here in the UK lol.
I remember it vividly
Your reaction when Wilf knocks. Yes. That. 1000% That for all of us in 2010.
I apparently completely forgot that I was pretty certain 10/David was leaving and let myself get caught up in his relief. The fact is was to save Wilf just made it extra heartbreaking.
Matt Smith had such big shoes to fill after David Tennant but boy did he fill them. Another fantastic era of who to come!
yep Matt and David quite the Dr. Duo.
This far in the series The Master has died in every single story he's in.
And I just had a thought about The Doctor going around saving his former companions and their loved ones, it means he looked-up their deaths in the future somewhere and then went back to change them.
"Worst ... rescue ... ever!" ... I liked the cameo of Jessica Hynes (the granddaughter of the nurse from 1913) ... The mysterious women guiding Wilf must be from a future where the Time Lords succeeded in collapsing reality and ascending. Otherwise, she wouldn't be appearing on telly and on the spaceship. So she's having the Doctor rewrite history by having a gun and choose differently.
Never heard of this theory!
I remember watching this with my family on Newyears Day and sitting next to my Great Grandma who was in her 90's and Scottish and had absaloutly no idea what was going on. As the Doctor was limping towards the TARDIS I can just remember her saying "Get to ye wee cabin son.". Probably one of the funniest things I can remember her saying.
I started with Eccleston when I was 6 years old but David Tennant felt like THE Doctor to me and I didn't think anyone could replace him. I have obiviously been a fan since and loved Matt Smith and Capaldi but David Tennant will always be my Doctor.
Oh, my goodness. That comment about your great grandma made me laugh and tear up. That's so precious.
@@BritanyBinges Yeah haha. I certainly remember it fondly. Although it is all I think about when I watch that scene now haha.
Well,Tom turned into Lucifer.😂
Valid. Not even Martha could stand a chance against Detective Decker. lol
Old guy here watched it as a kid, when i lost ten, thought nope, but eleven, oh boy, took me three episodes, after that.THE DOCTOR.
When this was first broadcasted it was huge in the U.K., it was in newspapers and was so big! David Tennant was such a big pull for viewership
David's last words as the doctor will never not make me cry
The whole ending scene is the best thing in Doctor Who.
No joke I was a mess.
the 4 knocks was probably one of the BEST misdirects ive ever seen
David did this episode with a broken back, especially the staircase he was pushed down, they had to do it gentle for him so it doesn't hurt him, it was in the doctor who confidential
honestly Vale Decem is such a beautiful piece of music. Murray Gold really didnt miss at the time.

Quick note before getting to the comment proper. Tennant was speaking, not only for his character, but for himself during the rescue scenes. He'd injured his back pretty badly before shooting, so going down the stairs on that gurney was pure agony for him, which I'm sure he channeled into his performance, like all the best actors. (Calling Viggo and his broken toe.)
Every once in a while I experience episodes of melancholy. When this happens, I try to process the emotion by watching the finales of my favourite TV shows; everyone saying goodbye at the end of MASH, House and Wilson riding off together, all the Friends moving on with their lives, etc. This, and the later regenerations, always top the list, though I wont deny being a tad immune to their effects due to seeing the Doctor change so often (I started watching in the late 70's.) Nevertheless, Ten seeing everyone one last time is always moving, particularly when you remember Liz Sladen was not long for this world after it was filmed, and that his finals words were as much fro the actor as from the character. That being said, I can safely say you're in for a heck of a ride with Matt. Eleven and his first companions are perhaps the best team up since Four and Sarah Jane, giving even Ten and Donna a run for their money. Lots of unknowable twists coming your way too that will shock you to your core. I almost envy you for being able to experience it all for the first time.
Can't wait for you to be introduced to 11 (Matt Smith) he is by far my favourite Doctor, with him you realy get the sense of how old he is and his anger is truly frightening.
John Simm is back!
Oh wow, they got Timothy Dalton?!?
Bernard Cribbins: Hold my flask of tea.
Also, just got to your reaction to the four knocks twist. Yep, broke me too.
„I don’t wanna go“ still breaks me every time
I loved Mickey and Martha together. He became a much better man once he stopped being Rose's b*tch.
I know that you are further ahead on Patreon, but I am SO EXCITED to see your reactions to MY all-time favorite Doctor!!!
I haven't watched 11's era in over a year so I'm excited to revisit these episodes as they really do have some great stuff! :)
The reaction to Wilfred’s 4 knocks is the reason I started watching Who reactors. Having completed the RTD era really makes you a full-fledged Whovian (I know you’re MUCH further on Patreon). Can’t wait to see your reactions to the Steven Moffat Era, which is personally my favorite. 11 was my first Doctor and 12 has been my favorite ever since his second season. Really excited to see how your journey has gone, especially once you’re finally caught up with all of Modern Who, if you aren’t already. I love how crazy rich the history of this show has gotten, and you picked a wonderful time to deep dive into it all.
I am current with Modern Who! :) If you prefer to find out what I think about Moffat's era and 12 as you watch the reactions, don't read the rest of this comment. lol
.

Moffat's era is my favorite era and 12 is my favorite Doctor. :)
Behind the scenes stuff at the time mentioned that Tennant recorded 3 or 4 takes of "I don't want to go" at varying levels of emotionality but afterwards made a specific request of RTD that they not use the _most_ teary one - he wanted 10 to be emotional but still holding it together rather than losing it. Nice testament to their working relationship that he was listened to (and the wiser choice IMO).
So there we go. It was Wilfred all along. Not remotely important _and_ a giant :). "Oh alright then, I will" is usually what starts me off because of course we _know_ 10 _isn't_ going to leave him. He never would. Some don't like his "raging at the dying of the light" but for me it underlines that "death" matters to him, which means his sacrifice matters - there's no honour in it if it costs him nothing.
And onwards we roll, from _one of_ my nuWho faves to _probably_ my nuWho fave (or at least equal fave, depending on the day :) and certainly my favourite _era_ of nuWho so far.
Man this two parter just reminds me of how wholesome and sweet Wilf is
About the Timelock and the Timelords:
The Timelords can use timetravel, so technically they technically could just use it to get anywhere in time and space, so to stop the war and prevent them and the dalek to destroy the universe and all of time in their war, two things had to be done:
1. End the war
2. Contain this Moment of ending the war in a closed bubble, so that they can only travel inside the bubble, like a prison. (Thats the timelock)
We already know that the timelock is not perfect, since Davros escaped it with the help of Dalek Kaan, but it seems like it is not easy and in all cases we have seen till now, it was always with the help of someone who survived the time war.
In Davros case it was Dalek Kaan.
In this Episode it was the Master.
So it seems like it can be broken from the outside, but not from the inside.
The Time Lords can't change their own history, like you're suggesting. You say the Time Lords travel back to prevent the Time War, but if the Time War never happened, there wouldn't have been a war for them to travel back to in the first place. The Moment would never have been used because there was no war to timelock. When Wilf asked the 10th why he can't go back in time to stop the Master he explains to Wilf, "I can't go back inside my own timeline, I have to stay relative to the Master within the casual nexus", basically the here and now. That's why it was such a big deal when they changed Gallifrey's fate in "Day of the Doctor. They even messed around with this rule in "The Name of the Doctor".
@@SKIP-yj3xp Yes they can't go back into their own history, but every else at every other time.
Like they just could travel to a time after the time war, the reason we don't see other time lords is cause they are time locked in the time war, and can't travel to a future that is past the time war, else we would meet a lot of them.
The reason the doctor is still present, is cause he won the time war.
The reason the master is still present, is cause he deserted to the end of the universe and changed himself into a human.
The only person we know so far, that has traveled out of the timelock and therefore out of the timewar, is davros.
And who is there to tell us, that there is no way, to change the past, so that the time lords didn't die out?
The history may be fixed, but it still can be changed, the impression that everyone else got of the past must be the same, but there is always the option, to redefine something that had happend into something else. (Like we gonna see multiple times in the future.)
@@Rafaela_S. You originally mentioned the Time Lords , going back to prevent the war from happening. Now you say they could just travel to a time after the time war, but I still say preventing the war from happening negates everything else , the time lock , the Moment , and the Doctor's thinking he's the last Time Lord, because those things never happened because there was no war. The Time Lords established the rules of time travel because of things that happened when they started traveling. I've been watching Doctor Who since 1977, and I like these timey wimey discussions. We all know a new writer will come along and complicate things even further, that's what makes a good conversation.
@@SKIP-yj3xp I did not mention the time lords going back in time to prevent the war.
What I said was: the time lords had time travel, so to prevent the war (from spreading further into the future) something had to be done, that robs them of the ability to travel to the future. That's the timelock.
That the timelords can still change the past we see in this very episode, when the timelords implement the beat into the masters head. They are in the war right now and change something that was at the time when the first doctor was still a child.
It does not rewrite history up to the end of the war, but could change the outcome of the war, without changing how it was seen:
Gallifrey and the timelords vanish at the end of the war.
The dalek vanish at the end of the war.
The doctor takes an action that could cause it.
Technically the history is as followed till now:
The doctor does something and with it destroys the timelords and the dalek.
How it would have been if the timelords did not fail with their plan from this episode:
The doctor does something, but while it destroys the dalek, outside of gallifrey, gallifrey, the timelords and the dalek on gallifrey, get transportet into the future.
The doctor still thinks he did destroy the timelords and the dalek.
So from the PoV of the doctor nothing changed, from the PoV of the rest of the universe nothing changed. Till the point of the future, where the timelords traveled to.
@@Rafaela_S. In your original comment you left out "from spreading further into the future". Without this wording, I was thinking you were talking about preventing the war from happening by going to the past. This misunderstanding changed the whole conversation and took me in a different direction. Now, I get what you're saying.
May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest....
I cried my heart out...
The music that plays during the regeneration is called "Vale Decem", which means, "Goodbye Ten" or "Farewell Ten" in Latin.
The music going into the radiation door is great. Then you get to Vale Decem. Murray Gold is the MVP of this episode. You should check out the lockdown choir singing Vale Decem.
YAY!!!! THANKS for putting this up! (And I appreciate the constant time travel on *your* part, placing your Patreon past into our CZcams present :) ).
Thanks for watching! It is wild to go back and rewatch these as I edit them now that I'm current with the show. I originally recording this in November 2022.
Such an emotional episode and what a fantastic reaction. I always tears up with "The song is coming to an end, but the story never will." Thanks for a great youtube channel.
Thank so much for the kind words and for watching!!
Micky, Martha and Jack did go off together after Journey's End.
"I'd be proud...if you were my dad..."
Breaking the link sent the Time Lords back into the Time War and time lock. The Master went with them.
"I don't want to go," still makes me get choked up. I forgot about it and when he walked into the TARDIS I thought, OH FUCK I"M GONNA BE SAD AGAIN
oh my god, rewatching this with u made me tear up and i've seen it so many times 😭great reaction!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the reaction and that we were able to experience the emotional roller coaster together! :)
That end gets me every time.
This episode was heartbreaking, but that's the best introduction of a new Doctor there has ever been, in my opinion
Best part, best ending, so emotional, so great. Welcome in the best times of new era Doctor Who....good screenplays, brilliant actors and so much more. Vale decem...
As sad as it was to see David go, Matt Smith's series' are so good!
I think my favorite part of this episode (sadly not shown here), was directly after the Doctor broke the link, and shouted "Back into the Time War, Rassilon!"
I like that the companions just felt and knew that this was the last time they would see their doctor, how they hugged each other. I think Sarah felt it most of all as she’s been a companion to multiple doctors ❤
When Martha left the TARDIS at the end of series 3, she said "I'll see you around". When the Doctor was leaving the Noble's house after wiping Donna's memory, she said "See ya" and when the Doctor went back in time to say good bye to Rose, she said "See ya"
Your face when you realized what really happened... I watched this when it first aired, and I still share your heartbreak.
one of the most emotional episodes of tv ever
It's the book signing scene that gets me.
From this to whatever we have now, writing really took a dive
I know; it seems wild to get a new Doctor without a carryover companion. (I'm not sure about Classic Who, but for New Who, we've only seen it once before this and we had someone with us, so to speak. And the Doctor had someone with him.)
weirder to change showrunner, doctor, and companions all at once. rip chibnall era
It's a shame about that pen not touching the page, Jessica Hynes acts that whole scene beautifully, otherwise. The moment where she looks up at the Doctor and does it in stages, as if she's realised who he is and is almost too afraid to look at him directly is just beautiful.
always a great watch (gut wrenching), 19:00 the realization of "He will knock 4 times", felt that
welcome to my favourite doctor the 11th you will love him just as much
I like how the Doctor felt for his Adam's apple instead of his -
Well I mean, they toe the line of being a kid friendly show and still trying to keep it interesting for adults so they couldn’t do that could they😂
The 11th Doctor is my all-time favourite. I'm so looking forward to seeing what you think of him!
Wilfred will always be the BEST of the Doctor's Companions
The knock got me like no way wtf when i watched this live, and then the I don't wanna go, I really didn't want him to go either was crying my eyes out live and i tbh still cry most times rewatching, I also got super mad and teary the first time we thought we lose him and he put it into his hand
I absolutely loved your reaction to this and now moving into the Steven Moffat era. I hope you enjoy the coming seasons as I really do!! ❤❤ always an emotional one the regenerations 😅😭
So glad you enjoyed this reaction! If you want a spoiler for what I think of Moffat's era, scroll down ...
.

.
.
It's my favorite era of the show so far! So, no worries about me not enjoying the upcoming seasons. :)
2:56 That part always makes me cry SO hard....
😭
Because that's ultimately what I want the most. Instead of just constantly bothering, chasing and killing each other... Just BE FRIENDS!!
It has to be possible at least for a little while. Master has got some various issues sorted out of course, but I know deep inside, he's just attracted to the Doctor, too.
Anyway, it's just my dreams. They don't come true....
If you don't want to know what I think about a future version of the Master, stop reading.

That's part of why I love Missy so much. You could really feel the bond between her and 12.
Donnas gift always gets me. Always.
"Thing is.... i never carry money. So i popped back and borrowed a quid off a really lovely man. Geoffery Noble was his name. "Have this. Have this on me" he said"
It really makes me think that 10 told him what was going to happen to him and what the money was for. Right down to giving her a winning ticket.
Lol her reaction to spending her lottery money
The only thing that could stop the timelord Victorious, someone in danger who needs help.
Especially if that someone is Wilf. 😭
...and we never saw any of them again.😂
No idea if his Mother or someone he knew. I love the scene the back and forth tension you really have no idea until it keeps going. The Timelords back and a lot more with them. It's such a good episode. Wilf not now. Radiation no problem just regenerative cells to fix your face.
These specials just making it better of the Donna moments.
Martha/Mickey yep some Sontarians.
The Doctor watching over everyone.
Even 2005 Rose is so good. Everything that changed I guess from Journeys End I guess because he had to refix them? I forget.
I forgot about her. John Smith and Joan, her granddaughter years later writing a book.
Ah the wedding. The wedding gift yep. Ah what they spend it on.
Can't tell who he is even in the dark.
Yes sing to your sleep. Ending but story never ending ah yes.
The Doctor transition hmm. It's weird but they all are anyway.
S5+ yeah S1-4 seemed like an end of those characters a good send off.
I haven't seen Sarah Jane Adventures only most of Torchwood. No idea what to go off of other than just some minor inside/cameo stuff.
Yeah the Master but expanding upon the events and him.
I haven't seen Classic Who Master either but hopefully it ot works out well.
Yeah the crossfire and the things that happened to them.
At this point in the series yeah we see characters/villains come back every so often or change and more.
Ah dead and many metaphors Doctor Who throws around all the time.
I don't fully either. The Master and Time Lords they will cover it later over time.
New Doctor, new things to consider.
11th hour is a weird episode but the series always was weird and got weirder to a degree.
Matt Smith gets better but S5 eh it depends per episode.
The misdirection with the knocks is something else. It's interesting that they permited Ten to come to terms with their demise before it happened. And with how long was their run, it was nice to see their old companions again.
It's a testament of how cool Eleven is that they can get someone to at least giggle after the heart wrenching regeneration scene.
Eleven is my NuWho Doctor. According to some people on Tumblr they are an eldritch horror that happens to look young. I agree with those users.
No spoilers but eleven is one of the scariest doctors, once you see how he works and such.
When he’s male, he’s a he. When female, she is a she. That’s what the Doctor goes by, no need to change that when it’s unnecessary.
@@chazo1367 you can say whatever you want. She's caught up fully on Patreon
Nothing relevant in SJA for this scene. You'll have seen the episode David Tennant is in, which was the last thing he filmed as 10.
Yeah, I don't think I ever did really figure out why the Patrons wanted to me watch through to the end of series 2 of SJA before this. 🤷♀️
You likely caught this while rewatching the episode, but others may not have- Sontaran Stratagem ends with Wilfred knocking for someone to let him out of a death box.
The music even hits four beats along with him, though the fourth knock is out of sync following a camera change.
Ten's thoughts on regeneration makes sense when you consider how young this life is. Even Nine is implied to have lived at least a century.
Good things are coming our way
Ugh, he had to see Rose's face one last time. It was the first face that face saw... and it's seared onto his hearts.... I'm fine...
Here's that crying I predicted
can't wait for the next season, really Enjoying the reaction, also next companion is from same place as me Inverness Scotland.
So glad you enjoyed the reaction! I knew Karen was Scottish, but I didn't know she was from Inverness. I spent a few hours there back in 2019, but I would love to go back for a real visit.
8:58 this scene gets me everytime
Still my favourite regeneration to this day honnestly ^^ Like just for the music alone
I'd say overall my favourite doctor is still eleven because i just love that era so much ... But david tennant really was THE doctor i feel like
The Time Has Come!!!!
So many people think the woman was his mother, because of the age difference. But these are *timelords* we're talking about, and the American movie indicates the Doctor's mother was human. When Wilf asks who she was, the Doctor looks to the bride. The woman was his wife.
The timelords resurrected the Master when the time war began. They probably did the same with Rassilon near the end, hitting the proverbial panic button. They must have brought back the Doctor's wife somewhere in between, and he never knew, because... well. Spoilers.
I wonder what happened to the kids and babies. Did they turn full size, or were there baby-sized Masters?
lol That's a very question.
I’m going to miss the 10th doctor 😢 but he had a good send off seeing every companion he had and every classic who companion (offscreen) I’m happy your going to see my favourite doctor now tho the 11th doctor he’s the best imo and very funny but also very serious at times
The Timelords are "effectively" dead. Time-locked just means it cannot be changed, at least by any normal time travel... aka they cannot escape their death, the cannot be saved, etc.
And the Timelords were "mostly good" as in the society tried but some, like the Master were not, and some like the Doctor were very... helpful to life in the universe. The idea here is basically "war is hell" and during the Time War... survival was all, they broke their own code of ethics, they lived in hell long enough to be the "demons" and... the war had to end even if it meant death to the Doctor's people and or others.
Hey, it's okay. How many people had to see "their" doctor go?
I started with Chris, I loved Tennant, but if I am totally honest? Smith was my doctor.
Series 5 is some great stuff. I can't help but be wrapped up in its charm.
Matt Smith for my Doctor. But David Tennant for story.
So Long, 10! Welcome, 11!
Have you ever watched the 'Dr Who Wrap party for David Tennant', you probably have but if not, it's a must, it's on youtube (and it's soothing) .
Also thank you for letting me shameless cry with you,
Feel free to shameless cry with me any time. No judgement here. :)
I haven't seen the wrap party, but I'm going to be reacting to a bunch of bonus content like that over on Patreon once this new season/series wraps up. So, I'll add it to the list. Thanks!
Poor Wilf. It was always him.
Goodbye to The Tenth Doctor 😢 and Hello to The Eleventh Doctor 😊.
If we were to know everything about the Doctor's backstory including his family it wouldn't be Doctor Who? anymore no he's just an old ancient alien flying in a Police Box who can regenerate when he dies and that he cares and fights for the universe and humanity that's all we need to know about his background and taken the mystery out of it wouldn't be fun.
Of course the intention was for the mysterious woman to be the Doctor's mother but showrunner RTD decided to keep that to our interpretation other theories suggest she might be his granddaughter Susan or Romana whose a character you haven't met yet.
The Time Lords weren't always necessarily bad that's a NuWho thing to add more drama to the show.
I have to say my opinion on this episode was the opposite I liked the first half better because I was more invested on what the Time Lords were up to why they are back and The Master's reaction and what his plan is and the Doctor escaping that was great I do like Wilfred but when The Doctor and Wilf started to have a conversation in the middle of the episode that's where it felt flat for me up and down with the episode because I didn't like the direction it was going with the Doctor's character and saying "I wish you were my dad" that felt abit too cringey and unnecessary.
When the Doctor fell through the roof of the window from a long height from a spaceship and landing a big "thud" on the hard ground that should had immediately triggered a regeneration which i feel the writers missed a trick on.
This was one of my least favourite regeneration stories others will disagree with me and that's totally fine but I felt the farewell with the companions dragged on far too long and the way the Doctor delivers his last lines "I can do so much more ! So much more!" or "I don't want to go" felt too self indulgent and I thought that was bad direction for the audience because to sets a bad example on not moving on which should be an exciting event but people get upset because David is not the Doctor but should be reminded that he's the same person which I feel they try to defriiate on that if that makes sense?
It was an OK episode but I didn't like the regeneration and the whole blowing up the TARDIS that was far too melo-dramatic.
The End of The RTD Era....
Well, the first one, anyway
@@NovaBridger All of them this is a totally different RTD by the sounds of how he talks about the show and "pissing" fans off sadly.
I swear, I still have PTSD from when I saw this in 2009.
I was going to heart your comment, but that felt inappropriate in case you weren't joking. :-/
@@BritanyBinges I'm mostly joking - my body has a genuine reaction to hearing Vale Decem... but I'm fine it's fine I'm fine
When he knocked four times. 😭😭😭😭💔💔
Interesting how I found you just when you get to Matt Smith, my fav Nu Who Doctor. (I started watching in the 80’s). I know what you mean about the Master. I was never a big fan of John Simm. Also I found Part 1 a little boring, except for the key fob lol. A really nice reaction!
Perfect timing, then! lol So glad you enjoyed the reaction! :)
Master's still weird. kinda redeems himself. emotional ending.
The saddest ending in all of who
Really? 😂 I thought it was one of the cringey and most self indulged of all who.
I always took the mystery woman to be his daughter. It fits with the Donna & her mom look (and with later reveals of The Doctor's backstory). There had to be at least one kid for Susan to be his granddaughter.... It could also be Susan's grandmother, or Romana if she returned to Gallifrey (I haven't heard her Big Finish stories or read any novels/comics exploring her later life).
I think the wikis state an unnamed son actually that was Susan’s father, so her mother was human.
@@dylancole1910 We know her mother's human?????
@@dupersuper1938 don’t actually know how accurate the wikis are since it seems to change every few years but that’s what I read the last time I got curious. Don’t know if any of that is mentioned in the classic series or in any other media but I’d be interested to know if what I read is still true or retconned in favor of some other factoid. 🤷🏻♂️
Without spoiling to much, Romana hasnt regenerated YET. Yes Romana returned to Gallifrey and had an amazing and tragic carreer, but she is still played by Lalla Ward.
The Big Finish Audios had way more stories for Romana I ...played by Mary Tamm (Along the 4th Doctor and the Gallifrey series, untill Mary passed away), since then Lalla Ward reprised her role as Romana II.
And now comes my favorite companion/pair of whole new doctor who.
This will always be one of my favorite finales, but there is just one thing about it that always bugged me and if I'm missing something, let me know. How did that radiation kill The Doctor? If I remember correctly, he was hit with a massive dose of radiation in the 1st episode that had Martha Jones and he just transferred all that radiation to his shoe and then tossed the shoe. Shouldn't he have been able to do something similar this time?
That's a good point. I'm sure there's some sort of explanation that's been worked out, but I don't know what it would be.
Your face when Mickey and Martha are married! Yeah, I had a similar reaction. Cool/not cool. Not that this is a bad idea, but, yeah, I liked Tom, it feels kind of a throwaway to knock out two companion visits at once, and turned out to be mainly because of RTD's wanting Martha to end as Martha Smith-Jones and have another Smith and Jones joke. (He likes his Smiths and Joneses.) I mean, it would work with more setup, but it feels a little like throwing the only major black characters together, sorted.
Good catch on the not writing in the book. It wouldn't have hurt to just write something, come on. I do recommend the show she and Tennant co-starred in, _There She Goes._ It's on Britbox. She also has a supporting part in RTD's show, _Bob & Rose,_ which stars Lesley Sharp (Sky from _Midnight)._
Also the fact that Martha was playing second fiddle compared to Rose, and who does she end up with? Lol
@@thelazygamer1639 Yes, Tom seemed a better fit just from being someone completely new. This is like being the left-behinds in the type of comedy that wants everyone to at least get a consolation prize. I feel the show doesn't give enough thought to the wonder that is Martha.
The very last thing Tennant did in costume as 10th Doctor was this for BBC One - czcams.com/video/_kXvs0aKSt0/video.htmlsi=zGSykn7AtxIr9Utu
Thanks for these! I'll check them out! :)
Won't answer the question as to whether the Master is dead... But do you honestly think they decided that they'll never use the again after he has been a reoccurring villain for decades?
