I really love how Matt can just flip a switch between emotions. It's so good.
inow
Yesss it iss😊🤫
Yes, the flash of anger at the end there really felt like a smack in the face.
this further makes me think Doctor sees humans as his own children, his reaction is of a father : he will defend his children, no matter what but at the same time he feels deeply disappointed at what his children have become.
What an interesting hypothesis!
The Sezenians the man once attempted to wipe out two entire species one of them being his own people for the greater good of the universe. I think he can understand them trapping an animal for the continuation of the human race.
@@KidZoom1 yeah, I knew that
Omg yes this is so accurate it's like he's telling them off like a father
The God Complex
they forgot the best part where Amy presses the abdicate button because she thinks the star whale was volunteering for the job, just like the doctor and such.
"If you were that old and that kind and the very last of your kind, you couldn't just stand there and watch children cry." - Amy Pond
@Brelm yeah I think this episode is misplaced... would have been good after vampires of Venice I think. But it still works, because Amy knew the Doctor as a little kid. He helped her when she needed it most. Then he shows up again after 12 years when the whole world is about to be blown up by aliens and watches him give a nice scolding to them. In the very beginning of the episode, the Doctor is there to watch, but decides to investigate at the mere sight of a girl crying... it still works, but yeah, would have been more impactful if she had said it after vampires
@@atharvadeshpande6907 this episode would have been great at the end of the series.
Matt Smith's first truly great scene, he was wonderfully funny and eccentric in the Eleventh hour but this is where he proved that he could also play the dark angry ancient immortal that lies beneath the surface.
Absolutely, all the quirkiness vanished leaving just the seemingly impossibly ancient and even vaguely eldritch immortal filled with rage and pain and regret emerged once more.
Hm.
Intentional or not I think this may have been the first instance of The Doctor referring to his title as a sort of promise, like in Day of the Doctor.
+LORDUnLuCkY13
Is written by Moffat, was intentional.
People always god Moff for not planning out his ideas, but it's nice to see general ideas stay the same and have them re-explored. From the moment he became the showrunner he was probably thinking of what to do for the 50th.
Wasn't that "title as a promise" thing coming from the season 3 or 4 finale when the Doctor explained when Time Lord chosed their names ?
(also what sort of promise is rassilon ?)
@@lorddiaceliumchauffeurdeta211 Rassilon was his original name, like Romana, and I think most Time Lord names are shortened for convenience. The renegades choose their names (The Master and The Rani want to rule, Missy changing her name subtly indicated that her character shifting, The Corsair is an adventurer, and The Doctor above all else wants to help people).
I actually cried a little bit here. I was really felt intense compassion for the poor thing.
don't worry it lives
Which poor thing? The Doctor or the Star Whale?
***** Yeah, the star whale.
I know that people always debate which is the scariest monsters on Doctor Who but to be honest the people on this show disturb me far more than any monsters. The first time I saw them shooting electricity at the Whale's pain receptors it sent a shiver down my spine.
_Blueshade_ Wasn't talking to you.
this was basically the scene that made me love matt smith as the eleventh doctor! I was liking him with the fish sticks and custard but this sealed the deal for me :)
People often hate on this episode; am I the only one who actually liked it?
I honestly thought it was interesting; the Doctor was still acting scarily unpredictably after regeneration; his new personality was still uncertain and there were reasons to suggest it could be very dark (as opposed to having the interludes of a darker side that it turns out to have). Further, I liked the connection between the last of the Star whales and the last of the Time Lords, and the whole dilemma...it was interesting. Not saying it was an amazing episode but it was all right; not as bad as a lot of people say, I think.
it was no fear her her. and its a personal favorite of mine. this scene it self almost makes me cry.
I wasn't that keen the first time I saw it, but when I watched it a second time I really started to like it! It's one of those episodes you need to see more than once in order to appreciate all the little details.
It's one of my favourites. I only would have hated it if there really were only those three choices.
I see every episode as lovely.
***** Even Love and Monsters? I assumed that was the one episode the fandom agreed on being bad.
Yet another example of an under-appreciated episode which shows us more Matt Smith glory. There's a reason he's the best incarnation of the modern era and to me of all time. Emotion and solid empathy, brilliant acting.
Matt Smith has been my favourite of all time for a long time
"you dont ever decide what I need to know" - fascinating implications for series 6 :D
Explain.
@@yrsruby5396 When Amy, Rory and River Song know that The Doctor will die on the beach but decide not to tell him.
@@dustinakadustin woah never thought about that. Thing is if they told him he’d have found a way around it much sooner. He needed to know lol
He says "You don't ever decide what I need to know" and then the next season they decide not to tell him that he invited them to his death.
I mean that's a little different because that in of itself would create a giant paradox that would fracture time itself. I mean we even see the consequences that could have in The Wedding of River Song where time collapses because that fixed point in time was messed with.
@@alecbormia4523 wow. 10 years. 😆 stuff sure does stick around on the internet for a long time 🤣🤣🤣 I don't remember but you're probably right. I probably just thought it was funny that they decided that after he told them not to.
There are so many weird things about this episode, but just like the best of Doctor Who, the core questions that are asked are just fantastic. And there's always those one or two scenes that are so powerful...
the wrath of a timelord. david tennant still lives through matt smith. Watch out for the 977 year old.
pjosepha I saw some Eccleston here.
This is why I think Matt Smith was the best doctor. I honestly couldn’t picture him playing the Doctor who regrets. But his portrayal of the Doctor forgets is impeccable. His ability to quickly change moods is soo important to the Doctor that forgets in my opinion.
This scene was the scene where Matt Smith became the Doctor for me.
"Nobody HUMAN! HAS ANYTHING TO SAY TO ME TODAY!"
What they did to that star whale made me cry and that it came for the children. Could not stop the Tears
There is something quite convincing about the UK being the last country to leave Earth. That and the extremely retro / nostalgic ship featured in the episode basically tells you all you need to know about Brits.
makes complete sense, we were the first to start industrialization and give about 5% of a s*** about sustainability so would probably run out of resources first before the exodus.
this made me cry.....it was probably the saddest moment when amy released it yet it didnt leave.
Star whales star whales flying trough the galaxy
carrying humanity cus they are so awesome
I actually teared up a bit here.
And that's good.
"Every other nation had fled to the skies". That's the one big problem I had with this episode. Why did Britain fail to leave in the same way the rest of the world did? If they didn't have the technology or the resources,how did every other country have them? Why didn't anyone take in the Brits as refugees? Or why didn't they donate a means of travel to them?
Years late, I know, but I have a feeling it was a small commentary on how sometimes the British can still cling onto grandness. To be the last ones standing on earth is a good accomplishment but at a cost. Hell, we still see it today. Millions spent on a coronation for a king that has no say in what our country does. All for the sake of national pride. So I could see Britain making the choice to stay behind to be the last ones only for the decision to bite them
@@hk1371 And then they turned to slavery. I'm glad that was addressed in the episode, sort of, but no one really has to own up to what they did or what they didn't do. Would've been grand if it had bit them and left them to it.
@@Fractometry I suppose the issue is that the people that survived didnt initially choose to enslave the whale but where told the lie that it would leave if no longer tortured so they were given an impossible choice from their perspective. The sins of our fathers. Thankfully, the whale was that kind
Also, fair play for replying after 12 years!
I was iffy about Matt Smith being the next Doctor, but after seeing that scene where he yells at the Queen and Amy, it made me sure that he could do it right.
I just started this season. I didn't think I would like Matt's Doctor until this scene.
Wish Matt would have been more like this at time throughout, it brought a nice balance between the young face and the old time traveler...then he just became a clown. Still like him, but this was powerful.
+Thomas Spychalski
I prefer the cold fury of Matt that "predictable screams", like the Coronel Runnay Way, the Seventh Doctor also acted as a clown but that did not stop him playing with time as a deck card like the Eleventh Doctor .For that reason I dislike Capaldi because he feels like more a stereotype rather than a real one.
He had his gloomy moments from time to time.
I feel like the doctor has three layers; at his core he cares about people, but always seeing tragedy leaves him cynical and dark. He has a final layer which is his clownishness that masks his darker side to his friends and foes. Capaldi only has the first two layers, but you see him trying to get a handle on the third through silly sunglasses.
The Doctor has literally always been a clown?? I don't understand this comment.
hartnell was never a clown. except that time he climbed into a dalek and imitated it
Man. This brings me back to old times. Boy do i miss those days, when things were much simpler.
absolutely one of matt smiths best scenes.
He’s not even my favorite doctor but this is one my all time favorite scenes.
As if "The Eleventh Hour" removed any doubt, THIS episode is where Matt Smith really found HIS Doctor on every level.
"Then I find a new name because I wont be The Doctor anymore" So what Shall we call you.....Billy? "Hello, Im Billy." "BILLY??? BILLY WHO?!?"
+Qari Anderson or basil !
In the Timewar he became "the Warrior" when he was not the Doctor anymore. If he euthanased the whale he would have become "the Knacker" or "the Euthaniser".
HI BILLY MAYS HERE
"The Valeyard"
What about the Time Lord Victorious?
Star Whale =:::( i'm bawling.. No doctor who episode has ever made me cry this much.
I love you Mr Star Whale!
the doctor always says when he regenerates he could turn into anything or anyone, right? so what if he regenerates as the star whale from the episode “the beast below”. I understood that the doctor and the whale were parallels as in “someone very old, and very kind, who would do anything to save a crying child, the last of his kind, blah blah blah…” but what if it is him? what if he has another traumatic death in the distant future and everyone think’s he really is dead, like dead dead. but hes actually just out having whale adventures in space and not being a crazy sociopath desperate for un-mutual companionship and blood lust. Like nope “my rein of tyranny is over and i am cursed to be a star whale now, fuckity bye”. just a happy whale. (except for the torture part but he kind of deserves it sometimes.)
This has to be THE dumbest theory I ever heard
I love it. The Doctor: The Star Whale years.
Wow...just...wow....no anger no hype on your theory just...........wow...
'Just a happy whale.' Thanks, you made my day. :D
We need more of these since there won't be any more Doctor Who for a while! Pleease BBC!
If the 11th Doctor had been like this throughout his tenure, I would have liked him a lot more.
I love this episode- actually one of the best stories from series 5 IMO
The delivery and angst in the nobody human quote... That is when he became the doctor to me...
Back when the Doctor didn't yet believe in miracles and couldn't see other ways to resolve matters. And his unbearable anguish from that idea of feeling lost and finding people or things to blame for it unforgivingly. It's so sad to watch :(
Wow, 11 says after he has to do what he feels he must to the Star Whale that he will have to find another name for himself... That is pretty much how he feels about the John Hurt "Doctor" who made a decision that broke the promise of the Doctor's name. Wow, just wow. Foreshadowing all the way back in S5 E2!
The doctor is pissed 0.0
i see that
When you're faced with that situation, of course you'll be ticked off.
11 is my favourite doctor i love he's acting its brilliant :) But this episode made me cry
Towards the end, I could almost sense The Valeyard creeping about The Doctor
10, 11 and 12 all had that darkness reaching the surface at different moments - "if a Time Lord did that, he'd become a god - a vengeful god."
@@MLaak86 Ohhh! Quite right! That kinda thing had really excited me. It reflected how ancient and alien (ect.) The Doctor was, and why he needed a good companion to ground him.
@@XenoKnightAlpha yep, especially after The Time War when he’s utterly filled with fury, pain, rage and self loathing.
This was made possible because of one of those great things: A Giant Flying Space Whale from Space
Still my favourite episode so far. :)
Wow, i've never seen him so serious before...
its name is the beast below
Ooooof course they don't show you the happy ending....this episode became one of my favorites ever
What is the violin song played?
2:30 Gee the doctor get up on the wong side of his bed this morning lol
Does anybody know the name of the soundtrack playing?
Thx, awesome episode.
amy and the doctor its like a marriage
Weird that GB alone wasn't able to make the jump into space.
Has anyone uploaded the scene that comes after this?
Such inspiring music
"The worst thing I'll ever do"
*cough* *cough*
The destruction of gallifrey
I think that 11 saying that this is the worst thing he'll ever do, because unlike Gallifrey-which was unavoidable, (Moment)-He has to WILLINGLY give it a fate worse than death, By making it a living vegetable interms of brain activity.
@@Shadow0Heart1 yeah I think that is, to him, just a bit worse than the annihilation of two species. It's a bit odd, but I'm willing to go with it.
The Doctor didn't do that
This was the scene that made me ok with Mat Smith being the doctor.
Very good scene and acting from Matt here. Perfect 👌
Seeing the doctor angry is a very wierd experience...
Does anyone know where I can see a video of the star whale itself?
This is a paradox with the second episode of the revived series of Doctor Who [The End of the World]. Nobody was on Planet Earth when it burnt...
Nobody was on Earth when it burnt.. that is absolutely right! Because some found a star whale. While some rich people watched the Earth burning.
now i want to cry again
dontcha dare killing it doctor
@lankinator24 not technically: somewhere at the start of the episode the doctor said, after amy asked, that Scotland wanted their own ship...typical, eh?
What a beauty
ugh i wanted to see the rest of this episode!!!!!
Has anyone else noticed the Dr can be rather... specist
What does that mean?
When he gets frustrated, annoyed or just generally pissed off he starts acting racist but with species instead of race. The Lord in Time Lord comes out
Steven McDonald Remember when Rose brought it up?
Steven McDonald
Language, and hey, it's not specist if it's true.
@@tanepukenga1421 true, but then again he's a nigh-immortal being who can see the whole of time laid out before him constantly and travels in an incredibly-advanced time machine/spaceship. I think it's understandable that he can be a bit condescending to other species at times. Especially when they're acting like complete fools, as they were shown to be here.
Amy definitely just thought “this is bad, the doctor can fix this he’s already looking around, he knows something”
'The worst thing I'll ever do.'
What, aside from wiping out your on species.
they were trying to destroy the universe. they had to be stopped. this is the doctor commiting genocide on an innocent creature in order to help the people why had been tourtuing it.
humanity are the bad guy here and yet they are the ones being saved.
Koba and technically he wasn’t commuting genocide on his own species. He was still alive after all
I think that it's actually quite cute that she made that choice for him
That quote also, intentionally I'm sure, fits for the Doctor
Amy was the savior here
I just wish they used this sort of anger in terminator.
+Eddie Howard
To be honest, Matt was more creepy with that cold fury as Skynet.
I feel like the Doctor sees his own kind in humans and relates to them in some form. But his kind were a lot further advanced but also that was their own demise. It’s like he’s trying to teach humans they can be better all the time. He was extremely disappointed in this scene
The Dhammapada: Old Age
Gluttony is a whale of space and Sloth is a cherub to time.
The God of space creates the space.
Wow that was harsh
Agreed. This episode sealed the Moffat+Smith deal for me.
very grumpy Doctor
YOutube needs to implement a "Forget" button
Oh yeah, forgiven after years of torture 🤔
@ASithTheyCalledEmo Think Discworld, the world on a star turtle floating through space...
So If I want to start watching Doctor Who with Matt, Do I have to go all the way to the first season in 197 something?
This episode killed me :'(
The doctor was a bit harsh to amy. Friends help each other out, that's what she was doing.
However... it led to a moment that placed the doctor into a place to make an impossible choice. And without him being able to prepare for it. He felt betrayed that Amy would place herself above him when it comes to what he should know and now he feels he needs to make the choice that tears him apart.
He was harsh but it was dealing with the emotions of both what he saw as betrayal as well as having to choose a lesser evill out of evils and not knowing which is which. Thankfully, it turned out Amy was right and brought him back from that dark path.
Ok so has anyone read "The Godwhale" by TJ Bass from 1974? It's about a whale that's also a ship.
man i miss grumpy 11, series 5 had the perfect balance of old man, in a young man’s body
Love how we in the UK are apparently incapable of making a ship when ever other country can do it!
haven't watched this episode, but what about the option to transfer all the people on the ship to somewhere else and then free the whale?
This is before it completely burnt up.
Murdering me after I gave everything?!?
EVERYTHING WAS FOR MY BOY .... INITIALLY
Or he could put all the people in that really big ship he has in the small box, take them where they need to go and let the whale go.
Another time I come to the comments 2 years later to make the same comment I made because I forgot seeing this clip and making this comment.
Love that bit. 🍻
Doctor: I'm so angry with you Amy that there has only ever been one companion who has disappointed me like this! Adam!
who is the actress that plays Amy Pond
boomtime 4 Karen Gillan
"nobody human has anything to say to me today!" that's when he became my favourite doctor
@Rachulie Well the last episode ( s06e07) was the "mid-final" since this year the season 6 is split into 2 parts. The 1-7 episodes pre-summer, and the 8-12 (or 14 can't remember) post-summer.
Haven't you seen the lastest episode - stay away from the internet (it's super-full of spoilers)
@Frottjeif maybe they intended to leave but something went wrong.maybe they didn't believe anything was going to happen until it was too late.maybe they built the ship but their power sources ran out or was destroyed.
Why did the doctor not just find a planet for the humans, and then free the whale?
@engmustafa83 ...maybe you should watch the entire episode?
I want to do the redhead so badly!!!
@ASithTheyCalledEmo The concept people were Irish, and thought how great it would be if we could put England and Wales on a star whale, and send them into space. They would have added Scotland too, but they wouldn't all fit on one star whale.
2:25 John Hurt!
