    fun fact, when this episode first aired it was seen by 10.6 million people, myself among them, not the highest viewing figures for doctor who but for the very first time, Doctor Who was the most watched show the week it aired

    This episode originally had an ending where the villains of the next episode surprised the Doctor in the TARDIS at the end.

      Yes, this was a perfect ending. The other would not have worked at all. It was fine for other seasons, to keep people watching, but no one is tuning out this late in the game... They will stick around for the regeneration.

      I waqs coming here to bring it up, to be fair to the footage, presumably there would have been some kind of teleportation effect to bring the villains into the scene, what's been seen online is raw footage, and raw footage rarely goes well.
      That being said yeah, having allready had a sharp turn from the triumphant moment of bringing Earth home, to the bittersweet parting of Rose and the Doctor, to the pure tragedy of Donna's fate, another turn to what would likely be a somewhat comedic sequel hook would've been a turn too far.

    Bernard Cribbins' sad face is so so sad. Wilfred is the king of characters so seeing him sad is the most sad
    This episode swings so hard from fun and joy to utter tragedy. Everyone being together and the Doctor Donna and the spinning Daleks is so fun. I knew you would be very excited to see K9 turning up in there too. Then they just smack you with that ending. Sure Donna is still alive but seeing her beg to not lose her memory and go back to who she was before is so sad. I did appreciate the Doctor telling her mum off a little for her attitude towards Donna sometimes

    • @MatthewGCWReacts
      @MatthewGCWReacts  Год назад +1

      Literally, like his face there was enough to get the tears going, and that's without his incredible speech!
      It's such a rollercoaster, like how can it be such a bad state, into elation, into complete lonliness?? Insane. Happy times though with spinny Daleks and THE GOODEST BOYS RETURN 🥳But then Donna's reaction before it happens and The Doctors face as he meets her again when she doesn't even recognise him, just heart breaking. Likes that as well, hopefully going forward she'll appreciate Donna more and make sure she knows how brilliant she is in the Doctor's absence

    This episode like I said last one, when I first watched it when I was 7 or 8 (honestly can’t remember anymore) it absolutely broke me even tho I had no idea who any of them were, and it still does make me tear up everytime I watch it now. By the way Rose is so happy when she realises Martha knows who she is because it tells her how unlike how the doctor spoke about Sarah Jane to rose in the first couple of seasons, the doctor told everyone about rose, and she sees that.

      Can fully get that, 9 year old me would have been a mess too at this. Even 24 year old me is a mess at this 😂 Aww that makes so much sense!! Rose was very worried in School Reunion that the Doc would just eventually leave her and forget her, but to have that reassurance that he never did and still talks about her is lovely for her!

    What's in store for you the specials? Well, outside of all the spoilery stuff I just deleted (not all that spioilery really but it got too silly). I will tell you that Modern Who does a take on a Classic Who tradition very nicely - and since you haven't watched Classic Who you have no Idea what I'm talking about.

  • @ashleywalla4087

    I love it when shows use costuming to show things. Doctor Who doesn't do it a lot, or at least, doesn't do it as consistently as they did with Donna and Ten. They very much say 'Hey these two share a brain' throughout the season and it's funny until it's not. In every episode besides The Runaway Bride, Planet of the Ood, and Midnight they are matching and those are only exceptions cause Donna is wearing a wedding dress, just a coat, and really isn't in the third and is in a robe the short time she is. Out of 14 episodes, there are those 3, she wears a blazer and suit pants in 3 other episodes, Partners in Crime and the Sontaran 2 parter, in the last 3 episodes she is wearing the long brown leather jacket, Pompeii and Wasp are historicals, and in the Library 2 parter she wears like an undershirt, a shirt, and a vest which I think is a ridiculous amount of layers for them all to be tank tops and the Doctor loves his layers. The only time she doesn't emulate his style in any way with no extenuating circumstances is in The Doctor's Daughter. On the Doctor's side it's more subtle cause he just has the two suits but in every episode, his tie always matches her outfit. Like in Partners, his tie is red and in Pompeii it's purple. Plus, in all three of Ten's seasons, we only see him in his shirtsleeves twice once on the rooftop in Runaway Bride when he gives his suit jacket to Donna and at the end here after he has erased Donna's memories. I feel like it's pretty classic costuming to go 'The emotionally closed off and constipated character wears lots of layers and only takes them off around people who understand them.' He takes his suit jacket off only for Donna and it's at the very beginning of knowing her and at the very end after they have said goodbye.

    It was an great story when it first came out it was great to see Davros return after 20 year absense Sarah Jane, Captain Jack for abit.
    But i did not see the point of Roses return i think they could had done without Rose being in the episodes because i was satisfied with her exit at the end of Series 2 i don't think every companion needs a happy ending that's just not realistic even Billie Piper herself said she had forgotten how to play Rose as you notice she's slightly different from her tenure on the show and didn't like her second exit either i felt that was too self indulgent and overdone that's just my opinion.
    This is not the first time a companions memory has been wiped but this was a sad ending for Donna.
    During the flashback scene where it shows all the people that died on The Doctor's watch i was slightly annoyed they didn't show Adric as part of that flashback.

      A very sad ending for Donna and the Doctor in the end!

    Meta-crisis Doctor is too dangerous to have around because he committed Genocide, so he needs to be in the parallel universe with Rose, because she can make him more human. So I guess we'll just ignore the part when Rose committed Genocide at the end of season one. On the same species no less. Haha. Just a silly throwaway plot hole that always bugs me.

But still, get your point there. The ending though is so damn sad. Doctor reunited with all the people he loves, able to fly the TARDIS properly with 6 people, and then in the TARDIS again all alone this time with the woman he loves in a different dimension, and his best friend not even knowing who he is 😭😭😭

    I don't love this episode as much as most of the fandom. It's lovely seeing all our faves together but neither Donna's ending nor Rose's ever sat right with me. The non-consensual mind wipe on Donna leaves a bad taste in my mouth even though the Doctor had the best of intentions. And Rose especially seems a bit superfluous to the story. She basically does nothing in this episode except get paired off with Doctor 2. Even RTD himself wasn't very happy with her ending and felt it was out of character for her not to fight tooth and nail to stay with Doctor Prime. He has some fascinating commentary on writing himself into a corner with it in The Writer's Tale (which is well worth a read if you're interested in the process of scriptwriting for the show in season 4). Personally I preferred the perfect tragic ending of Doomsday.

    Ok, basically, entire roual family is wiped out in a freak accident. They have to find the next heir, their search takes them to the US where we find the less than classy John Goodman. She plays a stripper! 😱 I believe it was actually filmed in London but, you know that movie magic. You’d probably be able to tell.
