River has taken her Grandfather's advice, she always carries a trowel.
I never noticed that!!!!!!!!!!!!😯
"...when the wind stands fair and the night is perfect, when you least expect it, but always when you need it the most... there is a Song."
"Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair, and the Doctor comes to call ... Everybody lives."
And the way Capalddi delivers those lines...
RIVER: Funny thing is, this means you've always known how I was going to die. All the time we've been together, you knew I was coming here. The last time I saw you, the real you, the future you, I mean, you turned up on my doorstep, with a new haircut and a suit. You took me to Darillium to see the Singing Towers. What a night that was. The Towers sang, and you cried. You wouldn't tell me why, but I suppose you knew it was time. My time. Time to come to the library. You even gave me your screwdriver. That should have been a clue.
DOCTOR: Time can be rewritten.
RIVER: Not those times. Not one line. Don't you dare. It's okay. It's okay. It's not over for you. You'll see me again. You've got all of that to come. You and me, time and space. You watch us run.
DOCTOR: River, you know my name. You whispered my name in my ear. There's only one reason I would ever tell anyone my name. There's only one time I could.
RIVER: Hush, now. Spoilers.
Right at the start of the episode he literally says he has on a new suit and a new haircut, hinting at how the episode will end.
Instant tears
😭😭😭
too bad this episode made it so that conversation makes no sense now
Yeah, this is the thing I still hate the most about this!! Capaldi DIDN'T CRY! Come on, how hard is this?? 😅
I know what tears look like!
I still explain it away in my head, that 12 probably properly cried, when he sent River away that very last time, after 24 years of marriage on Darillium....
Still, missed opportunity.
Capaldi and Kingston have such great chemistry and they just look so right together.
Yep.
Yeah, it's interesting. I never got the romance between her and Matt Smith. They had chemistry but not romantically. They felt attracted to each other, even, just not in love.
But with Capaldi, I really feel it.
We're finally here, my personal all-time favourite 'Hello Sweetie'.
It is the most powerful one.
...but it's only that powerful because of all of the earlier "Hello Sweeties"
When 12 says, "Hello, Sweetie" to her for the first time, as River realizes who he is, is the most joyful and yet heartbreaking moment.
Penny in the air
I just thought Matt Smith told her to come with him and travel, but she declines and comes here and meets Capaldi and spends their last years together is just amazing
"I think I'm going to need a bigger flow chart"
This is by far my favorite special. From the comic beats to the bonkers story. To the chemistry between Alex and Peter which is INCREDIBLE. The "bigger on the inside", "He only has THESE 12 faces" and "awkward " are particularly favorites. The "Hello sweetie " and "that's Darillium" are DEVESTATING when you realize what's happening. A fun detail is the theme for the library plays when he scans her with her sonic. If Paula goes back to the library now after seeing this, I wonder how wrecked she'd be.
One thing I've only just realised about the initial Ten/River exchanges is her remarking about how young Ten is - by his eyes. This Capaldi has just dealt with *billions* of years punching a ridiculously solid wall, and obviously all the emotion surrounding that (even if he doesn't remember Clara).
To be fair he didn't do it for billions of years in terms of aging. Cause he kept getting reset.
@@philyjfry I literally said "by his eyes", i.e the weight and trauma that is conveyed by them from what he went through.
@@AmazingChi yeah but he still wouldn't have different eyes. When he breaks out, to him, from his perspective, he's been there once. Of course billions of years would be bad but he didn't actually experience it. He just realized it was all him
@@philyjfry I'm trying to work out if you're trolling or if you just can't understand that traumatic experiences can affect the way we look, and as the phrase goes: "the eyes are the window to the soul." River Song literally identified him in the Library as the youngest he's been (to her) by his eyes.
@@AmazingChi rewatch the episode. He literally keeps getting reset so he lives for a few hours over and over but he's getting reset that's literally the whole point of the episode
River's speech, that she doesn't expect the Doctor to go around falling in love with people...
...but, really, that's kind of *all* he does. Companion after Companion, lifetime after lifetime, he's falling in love with new people, people he would absolutely leap headfirst into trouble for.
When you least expect it, but always when you need it the most...there is a "River" Song.
I love to think about how the tardis is like"wtf" when the doctor is reacting to how big the tardis is😂
Lol I've never thought about that 😂🤣😂🤣
I like to think 12's "reaction" is, in his mind, how he believes everyone is meant to react. He's always been the TARDIS's biggest fan.
@@chiffon788"I've always wanted to see that done properly "
Alex Kingston has said that she loved working with Matt Smith but Capaldi is her favorite Doctor to work with.
She worked with Tennant too. Just sayin...
@@axlslak Oh yeah, I remember that. ;)
I don't think she ever said that.
@@AirPokemonNaruto22 I don't think she would ever say that either, she's very professional, but I do think she said that filming that episode was the most emotional and that she really enjoyed working with Capaldi.
River has a sonic trowel. Either a love for trowels is genetic, or she at some point spent time with her grandfather Brian.
Fair enough
I’m guessing she would have met Brian in her earlier incarnation growing up with Amy and rory and knowing while keeping it secret, that Brian was her grandfather
how the line "24 years" warms and breaks your heart.
I think it was really sweet of moffatt to make a night on derilium 24 years long. Basically thats 24 years worth of time that the doctor settled down with his wife and just made a home. I always wanted a short that takes place during that time just to see the doctor in domestic bliss with river
There is one I think, there were 4 little shorts.. In one of them River comes in wearing a very fancy gown saying she's been with the doctor.. well, two of them, and what a fun night that was.. Gosh I wish I remember where I saw them
It's a stark contrast with how he behaved in 'The Power of Three'. It shows that as much as he cared for Amy, he is willing to endure so much more for River.
I'd agree, but I also hate how MOfatt refuses to let a "bad end" happen to someone, like a completely bad end. Even Amy and Rory lived a domestic happily ever after as Amy even became a writer. Meanwhile, there's Clara.... Exploring time and space for who knows how long.
domestic bliss? Most people who reacted to this episode said that they intereacted like an old married couple.. thez love each other, but given their two strong personality type, i would love to see some of the fireworks that would have taken place in those years!
@@chaoticwriting6304 I dunno about that.. Bill wasn't exactly a happy ending..
If you ever want to put yourself through pain - watch this episode and then the library two parter straight after! 😭
They are
That moment of realization for River is priceless! A perfect ending to her story, or the perfect beginning, however you choose to look at it. Wibbly wobbly.
The husbands of River Song is by far my favourite Capaldi Episode. I love watching these Favourites with you two as it shows I am not alone blubbering at the same moments
I have loads of favorite Capaldi episodes, he is my favorite doctor, and the next season is my favorite as I think him and the companion mesh really well. And the last 2 episodes of this season are some of my favorites too... but this episode, I tear up every time at River not knowing the Doctor truly loves her, and that realization. And watching Katrina and Paula tear up like I knew they would got me all misty eyed for the hundredth time.
This starts off as a laugh riot and then smacks you in the kisser in the final scenes.
OK nobody’s said it so I will. The Doctor gives River THE sonic screwdriver and, almost as a throw away, scans her into it. “Oh….oh! I’m VERY good!
And as I type, Katrina mentions it……
Once again I am happy to finally watch an episode that someone else cries just as much as I do
The best moment in this episode are both performances without lines - the look the Doctor gives her when she says the Doctor doesn't love her, and the look of recognition on River's face just before he says 'hello, sweety'. Amazing performances. Such chemistry.
She did a great double take
Favorite “hello sweetie “ of the show
When River and the Doctor are lying in the snow, and she is annnoyed that he is laughing -- he says "I haven't laughed in a long time", it is a reference to the previous two episodes, I think. In Heaven Sent he spends the entire episode inside his confession dial, and in Hell Bent he forgets who Clara is.. So the ability to laugh is a welcome relief for him "We are being threatened by a head in a bag!'
My favorite Dr Who Xmas special!
I also loved the touch of Capaldi scanning her for the library
I´m not chopping onions, you are chopping onions. Still one of my favorite Who Episodes.
5:35 9th and 10th Doctor's theme, love every time it comes up in the Moffat era.
I've watched this episode so many times and I am just now noticing that he scanned her right before giving it to her... for the day in the Library!! 🥺
If you notice the doctor scans her brain with that screwdriver before he gives it to River
Here we are at last.
Alex and Peter create an absolutly stunning portrayal of River and The Doctor as a stately couple. Their ability to play off each other as the plot tention is twisted from one contortion to the next makes this episode a tresure in and of its self.
A Bigger Flow Chart
The last episode that we saw River was Name of the Doctor. At that time all the contents of the completed diary were known to both. Minisodes First Night/Last Night gave the signal that 11 and River were on there way to the Singing Towers. This giving the charactors their final good bye at a time of equality of knowlege. The flow chart of their time lines were looped and crossing but at the bottom of the bow the ends of the two ribons are parallel and end evenly.
With the inclusion of The Husbands of River Song we get a new shape. A shape that is beautiful with its own poetry and balance. A true sense of weight is added to the first intimate words The Doctor ever hears from River, "Your eyes... Their so young". The repeting stanza of River slapping The Doctor back into reality. The other side of the coin where 12 knows its River and river is oblivious.
The grouping that hits me the most begins with Rivers promise at the time of her sacrifice in the library, she says "You've got all of that to come. You and me... time and space... You, just watch us run!". Then the confession of her love at the Wedding of River Song. "I can't let you die. Without you knowing knowing you are loved. By so many and so much... And by no one more than me." with Alex's voice cracking at the level of passion even the stone face of The Doctor is touched. And finally in Husbands we get a restatement of devotion from the couple. The Doctor says "River, Not one person on this spaceship not one living thing is worth you!" and River replies "Or You!". And finally we have The Doctors poem "When the wind stands fair and night is perfect. When you least expect it... But always when you need it the most... There is a Song."
When he gives her the sonic screwdriver, the music playing is from the silence in the library episodes.
One more episode away from my favorite doctor who Christmas special
Best "Hello Sweetie" ever....... 😭
Katrina: It's fine... I'm O.K., I'm not mentally scarred, my dreams are safe....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Who am I kidding...😭😭😭😭😭😭
The fun thing is, two hours before this released, the official Doctor Who RUclips Channel released the best moments of The Husband's of River Song 😂
The thing is, the doctor has just been through a massively traumatic time -being trapped in the confession dial and having his memories forcibly deleted by the neural block. He's lost a massive chunk of himself and he's trying to fix it by doing what he always does - running around having adventures. At the end of this, he chooses to stand still with River for a while, and he'll with someone who loves him unconditionally despite his flaws and reputation. It's a beautiful moment.
This 4-ep run is one of my favorite runs since 2005... and it's not the last. Thank you both, and I'm looking forward to 2022-and-beyond content.
I've watched this episode like 300 times, and I never caught "Do you really have a shooty trowel?" before 🤣🤣🤣
Grandpa´s trowel...
If you ever need a good cry...River's Loving the Doctor speech is on RUclips.
All through the series, Katrina's face vs Paula's, the knowing vs the unknown, I just want to take a moment to ackoldge it :)
I love how River not thinking the Doctor doesn't really love her totally makes sense for where she is in her timeline, as for her it's not until after she dies that Eleven finally shows how much he loves her in the S7 finale when he kisses her first and says how much it hurts him seeing her again
She didn’t really think that, she was literally just rambling till the meteor storm started.
@@daniig62 She does think that. Do you remember The Time Of The Angels? Amy asked her if they were married, and River answers something like "This is the Doctor we´re talking about. Do you think he´s anything that simple?". She idolises the Doctor very much, and she doesn´t think she deserves him...
@@cargo71 she literally says “I was just keeping them talking till it kicks off” she doesn’t believe that the doctor doesn’t love her
@@daniig62 Yes, and she said that with a knot in her throat...
@@cargo71 ok. She didn’t truly believe that he didn’t love her. That simple.
My favourite little neurotic sci-fi tidbit is when he gifts her the screwdriver, and as a funny little nothing, he scans her with it.
Saving her in that moment.
And then we rewatch series 4 and bawl pur eyes out.
I think that's the start of the scan and he keeps it running the next 24 years as she carries it with her.
What a wonderful Christmas treat to get this episode released today! Thank you Katrina and Paula, it was lovely.
Love the GenCon glass, Paula! Where I'm from no even knows what that is, so it's nice to see someone else out there who does.... lol
hehe thanks! This year was my first time getting to go. A weird year for it, to be sure, but it was so wonderful.
Very Good Heart Felt Reactions Girls.
Thank you!
@@PaulaDeming You are more than welcome. I admit I had to fight really hard to stop your Reactions getting to me.
Awesome I loved and cried at the episode every time
This is my favourite episode of Capaldi. And I’m glad we finally made it 🥲
One of my top ten favorite WHO shorts. Full circle.
A very fitting end for Doctor Who series.
the perfect mix of action/silliness/saddness....AGAIN
"I dated a Nestene duplicate once. Swappable head. Did keep things fresh." - River Song
The Best Hello Sweetie EVER!!!
And that last scene at the towers..........So beautiful!!!
Finally, now you should watch some compilation of all River moments in right order as her life has gone. Also I love how much this episode is on the nose - writers referencing every single thing said in Library and other episodes before.
Easily my favorite Doctor and River moment, where they're both essentially on equal ground.
Last review Paula said she wanted more River Song. So she got her Christmas present.
This is my favourite special. It's funny, sad and lovely. All at the same time. 🙂
*The Singing Towers enters chat.
...
"I'm not crying, you are!!"
Those 24 years with River are a fine reward after Heaven Sent's billion repeats. ❤😃
This is my all time favorite Doctor Who Christmas Special
Like I said in the give away comments, this is one of my favorites. So silly, clever and River's speech about loving the Doctor.
And this still isn't Moffat's (or Capaldi's) best Christmas special.
before i watch i have to say i've been waiting for this all day.
I knew you two would cry!! I love it! XXXX
You are now by far my favourite Dr Who reactioners I just love the real reactions. As a Dr Who fan who I have watched the show since the 1980's.
When you watch a good reaction it's like watching the episode fresh as you see it through someone else's eyes and pick up things you didn't notice yourself.
This very well may be my all time favourite episode of all of Doctor Who. I love the cast, River is there, the story is fantastic and it's so well balanced between the comedy and the serious bits. Everything about this episode is just so wonderful, in my opinion.
This is River's story coming full circle. We're introduced to her in season 4's Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, where she mentions Darillium, the Singing Towers, and being gifted her own sonic, which we finally see in this episode. Moffat wrote the character incredibly well, but Alex Kingston's performance throughout her time as River Song was not only brilliant, but truly inspiring.
One thing I've always loved about this episode is, following the embarrassing reveal that he was standing right next to her, the whole unimaginable scenario of his second regeneration cycle and the events that led to it are compressed to, "A thing happened." Talk about minimalism at it's purest . :D
Silence in the library was in s4. Aired in may 2008... This aired in december 2015. seven years later. Thats some payoff. Amazing.
Can we get a re-watch of forest/ silence. I think she does such a great job 👏 with River in those episodes, without even knowing what was going to become of her character.
"Hello Sweetie"
Gets me every time. :)
Hey! It's always great to see your happy, smiling...oh wait. Joking aside, this is a really beautiful episode and your timing with releasing it on RUclips is on point.
Finally Paula got the River episode :D I'm happy for you. This episode is one of my favorite Christmas episodes :)
by far my favorite Christmas episode!
Frohe Weihnachten (Merry Christmas) from Germany! 🎄🥰
I just wanted to say, like Katrina say's, it really did need to be a Capaldi moment since it kind of needed maturity, not in age but of mind.... ya know?
9:12 That look from the Doctor always kills me. It's like his wondering to himself how did he get this poor woman so screwed up and invested in the concept of himself as a mythical god and force of nature that the very idea of him loving her back is so inconceivable.
Great reaction! This was such a good episode! It always hits me like a truck!
Excellent reaction! In case we don't see you until after the Big Day, have a lovely Christmas :)
Best "hello, sweetie" ever!
At 11:02 the doctor performs the scan that will later „save“ river in the library all those episodes ago. They even toss in the Library episode theme for good measure 😢
The way that her timeline via episodes is-
Angels take Manhattan
The husbands of river song
Silence in the library
It's heartbreaking to watch it in that order.
Such a wonderful reaction !! But really, the way he looks at her ... Well, she's the woman he loves with both of his hearts. That's why she's his wife and no one else. That's why she knows his name. It's just fantastic to see the chemistry between Kingston and Tennant, Smith and Capaldi (such a good Doctor ! ). All of them are the Doctor. And all of them fall in love with River (or are married with her, because it's obvious that 12th Doctor loves his wife during all his run)
And I will never know why she thinks she doesn´t deserve to be loved by him...
I just realized she gets the love for the Trowel from Rory's side of the family XD
One of my favorite episodes.
Rewatch this episode from the POV that River knows that he was the Doctor all along and she is just playing along.
Alex Kingston pointed out that the first page of diary is Darillium.
Lol Paula is sooo lost for words! I liked that we got to see river in her normal life without the doctor. You could do a while spinoff with her.
Yeah....I shouldn't have watched this reaction while at work. Too hard not to cry on this episode lol
You should really rewatch The library episode now
Another quality cat videooooooooooooo!
A needed cat video.
Alex Kingston and Peter Capaldi, probably among my two favorite Dr. Who actors. I think even without a script they would put on an amazing performance.
And I love Nardole!
Been looking forward to this episode for so long :D 💙
Mybe good ( mini episode )if River went to see her grandad Brian after Manhattan, that would be a real tear jerker
When you least expect it, but always when you need it the most, there is a song.
Capaldi definitely had the best romantic chemistry with her.
Thanks for a year of fantastic content taht puts a smile on my face every time! Merry Christmas to you! 😀
Still one of my absolute favorite episodes. Anytime this show can make me cry, whether it's happy tears or sad, those are the absolute best. ❤️❤️
"A Christmas Carol" always has been, and always will be, the best Christmas special in my eyes, but "The Husbands of River Song" can very confidently stand as the runner up in that regard. A fun little screwball comedy that neatly and effectively turns into a tender and heartfelt love story, acting not just as a nice little coda for series 9, but also a fantastic conclusion to the story of River Song.
The first half of this episode is largely inconsequential fluff, but it is undeniably loads of fun. The whole vibe of an Indiana Jones style adventure by way of campy pantomime made for an abundance of frankly hilarious setpieces, with the Doctor's over-the-top "reaction" to the TARDIS being a major highlight ("sorry, always wanted to see that done properly"). The performances of the cast are fantastic across the board, with Alex Kingston finding the right balance between her more mature and world-weary turn in "Silence in the Library" and her more bawdy characterisation from the Smith era, and brings River to life with just the right level of larger-than-life scenery chewing gusto. Her dynamic with Capaldi is great, with the pair establishing a great rapport which also allows him to properly flex his comedic muscles for the first time since he first stepped into the role. The guest cast, led by stand-up comedian Greg Davies, are similarly entertaining, playing their roles with just the right level of hammy energy, and thus allow for a memorable roster of highly enjoyable secondary villains. Moffat meanwhile turns out a highly witty and energetic script that's just fizzing with weird visuals, memorable lines of dialogue, and highly creative setpieces, which director Douglas MacKinnon brings to life with a wonderfully warm and festive style.
However, it's during the second half that this episode really finds its footing and transforms into something truly special. The sequence where River pours her heart out about how she feels about the Doctor and their relationship was such a beautifully powerful moment, further helped by the look of hurt and shame on the Doctor's face as he realises how much he means to her. All of which of course leads to the best usage of "Hello Sweetie" in the entire history of the show, and seriously, who would've thought those words could be so emotional to hear? All of which is just the appetiser for the actual big event, the Doctor and River's last night on Darillium. The visuals used to create the two towers, combined with the breathtakingly beautiful score (Murray Gold does go all in with that overly-jaunty score once again, but he really brings it home for the finale), set the stage beautifully for the emotionally powerful scenes to follow. Capaldi and Kingston's performances are magnificent, as Capaldi nails the bittersweet resignation of knowing that this will be the last time he and River interact, while Kingston brings River's realisation, desperation, and ultimate relief to life with great effect. But what makes this most impactful is the fact that, even though he can no longer remember her, it's clear that what happened with Clara has indeed made the Doctor a better person. He's come to terms with the fact that everything has to end eventually, and he has to let the people he loves go in the end. After it's been stressed time and time again that the Doctor doesn't like endings, at long last he's going to stop running from them, he's going to say goodbye properly to the woman he loves, and he's going to savour every moment of their last night together. It's a perfect, beautiful way to conclude the overarching story that Moffat has been telling over series 9, and offers a nice little conclusion to River's story (obviously I'd love to see her again, but if this is the last we see of her, I'll be very happy with that).
Equal parts funny and heartfelt, and a pitch perfect conclusion to a story that has been 7 years in the making, "The Husbands of River Song" is a wonderfully underrated little gem. The way it ties into River's first appearance is absolutely fantastic (on that note, a rewatch of that series 4 two-parter is very much in order now), and the script provides an abundance of highly enjoyable sequences along the way. "The Husbands of River Song" was originally intended to be Moffat's last episode as showrunner, and while this episode would've been the perfect ending to his long and often uneven tenure, I am super glad that he stuck around for another series, and I'm definitely looking forward to diving into those reactions in the new year. But until then, have a very merry Christmas everyone!
Feels like another rewatch of Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead is in order.
It's SO MUCH MORE PAINFUL after watching this one. 😭
It's fine, it's fine, we're fine......
My favourite Xmas special.
Oh my goodness! After working on an e-card all day and - somehow - managing to scape one together - and getting the usual down-in-the-dumps once it's finished! - that's the downside of being an Aspie, not enough plus hormones and too many stress ones - ugh! I REALLY NEEDED THIS! A Gallifrey Gals reaction! . . . And River Song! "Manhattan? . . What planet is that?"
