    This being the first big speech since Amy and Rory left means he had so much pain and anguish to unleash, and Matt Smith absolutely killed it. I watch reaction of this episode almost exclusively for the speech

      This was Matt's speech. Like how every doctor had a moment that REALLY defined their iteration of the Doctor. It showed how he viewed his character, especially where he is with his story: post Ponds with this strange, impossible girl

    This chapter is in my top 5 favorites. From the music, to the Star Wars atmosphere, and the chemistry that explodes between the Doctor and Clara, it is extraordinary.
    But what I like the most is the Doctor's monologue facing the creature. It's my favorite, it takes your breath away.
    And to think that the actor who plays this chattering doctor is the same one who plays Daemon Targaryen.

    Christopher Eccleston's Doctor went back with Rose to see her parents' past because she wanted to. He didn't want to. And he didn't imprint on her or vice versa. I don't know where that is coming from. Mickey was drawn to adult Rose, but I don't think he imprinted on her, per se.

    • @emilyckohl
      @emilyckohl Месяц назад +5

      During the episode, child-Mickey runs up to Rose and hugs onto her, and Rose later tells the Doctor, “I think I just imprinted on Mickey like a mother chicken.” I think that’s where they got that from.

    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series gets a shout out in this story. In HHGTTG, the Hooloovoo were described as, "a super-intelligent shade of the colour blue. The Doctor mentions not having been to the solar system in which the story is set since he was traveling with his granddaughter, Susan, marking that visit as a story from the First Doctor. Smith even seems to channel Hartnell's performance when answering Clara's question of, "You've been here before?", in that Smith's, "Yes, yes, yes," was very reminiscent of the First Doctor. This is the second direct reference to past first Doctor stories since Planet of the Ood, which was in the same solar system as the Sense-Sphere, setting of the story The Sensorites.
    I'm so very glad Steven decided to drop the whole, "Clara is an experiment of the Doctor's to breed the perfect comapnion," aspect of Clara's story. It was confusing enough without making it creepy as hell and completely against anything the Doctor would even consider. Well, maybe Twelve would, but definitely not Eleven.

    I don't think they are different timelines; it's rare for us to see a different timeline (like in "Turn Left") and the Doctor doesn't just easily flit into them.

    The Doctor's speech to the grandfather god was one of my favorite Doctor WHO moments. Right up there with things you haven't seen yet. OMG, don't compare Doctor WHO to Twilight, that's like comparing Diamonds to Zirconia. It is way weirder for old vamps to groom teens cause the Doctor has no romantic intentions. My book I'm working on has lots of immortal characters and I've got to find a way to thread the needle for any relations not to be creepy.
    As for the discussions I agree with you both so much. I always hated the Confederate traitor's statues being in places of prominence. I was so happy when they came down, started moving to museums. It felt like the world was moving on, arcing toward justice. Needless to say, the last few years have been a rough realization that we still have a long way to go to reach equality, or justice, or even freedom for everyone. But we don't fight for these things because they are easy, we do so because we must. Because evil cannot be allowed to succeed.
    I remember the Cosby show growing up, and while its cultural impact cannot be stolen, I hate that the creator tarnished it from behind the scenes. I have real trouble separating art from artists. Always have. A band I liked growing up had a bass player use a racial slur on stage in my home town and I never cared about that group again, never listened to the albums again. I remember enjoying the Cosby Show, enjoying certain songs and artists, and it is hard to go back to it again now, knowing what I know.
    That said, I do have a sense of humor and I still laugh at old sitcoms who were so terribly wrong, even then, because to me it only gets tainted when the creators turn out to actually be horrible people. As far as I know none of the Wayans were revealed to be closet predators. I sure hope none ever partied with Diddy.

    First, the Doctor met Clara Oswin Oswald in the future when she was a Dalek. Then he met her in the past as a Governess where she died and he saw her tombstone with her full name and realized she was the Dalek. So, he came to the present to figure out who this "Impossible Girl" actually is. One timeline in the same universe, not multiple timelines or multiple universes. HTH...

    I'm probably gonna take some heat for this comment, but I have to say it. That "vibe" has a whole lot more to do with Steven Moffat than with the Doctor. Think about the episodes he wrote before he was showrunner.
    The Empty Child/Doctor Dances: Young girl turns out to be older than she looks and is a mother, not a sister.
    The Girl in the Fireplace: young girl grows up very quickly and falls in love with her imaginary friend (sound familiar?)
    Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead: young mysterious girl turns out to be a 100 y/o computer and also a little girl who will never age...
    Don't see the pattern? Check out the first scene in one of Moffat's first shows, Chalk. Tarantino's foot fetish is a lot less creepy.
