This definitely felt like Oxygen meets Wild Blue Yonder. A stripped back story like WBY with the message and 12 vibes of Oxygen. I love that line, "now you need proof?" Very Doctor-ish. Poking holes in their misguided actions and delivering it wonderfully
Loving the fact that I´m not the only one who got serious 12 vibes from Ncuti in this episode. If only Jodie Whitaker had a couple of Moffat scripts to bite her teeth into and things may have been very different for her legacy
0:34 - One of the most dangerous things you can do to the Doctor is stop him - or slow him down. Prevent him from running - and joking - and laughing... do that - and the arrogance comes out. Do that - and 'the Doctor' is just a story and you're left with a being who's thousands of years old and doesn't give a damn about what you think of him

@@TheEvilCheesecakeand he said he doesnt like faith but it doesnt mean he doesnt need it , the message is supposed to be about blind faith not just faith
This is one of those moments in Doctor Who that gives you chills beyond belief, similar to when 12 started to threaten Ashildr, or 9 saying "Everything lives and everything dies". I had to rewatch this over and over because that line delivery is one of my favourites in the entire show
I think this is the moment where 15 actually felt like the Doctor for me for the first time! This is that first moment where you connect with the new incarnation, think 12th Doctor's I am the man who stops the monsters or 11's Basically Run!
It’s cause Steven moffat has always been good as single ep stories he just just has an issue making long term stories although I get why he gets a bad wrap with some of the seasons of doctor who the ones were the story is wrapped in 1 or 2 ep have always been great
@@XGAMER-hs4fy I meant more in terms of having an come off the back of an ep focused on an Eldritch entity that you’d expect something more whimsical that allows the pacing of the series to breathe. No doubt Moffat is an amazing writer, just yeah does need to be focused
It was coming off the back of the best episode since The Doctor Falls by a large margin (until this episode) so idk what you're on about, the Devil's Chord fucking rocked
I Wonder if she'll play this character or a New one tho We've never had a "religious" companion so that could bé pretty interesting Dynamic wise with thé doctor !
I wish he had better scripts. The guy is undeniably talented, but it feels like only here or there he's being pushed into that Capaldi/Tennant level of Shakespearean sturm and drang. And Ruby feels like Clara all over again - not the exact story, but another "Impossible Girl", and that's too bad because SHE is great, too. It's so odd. All of the ingredients are there for both a return to the wonder of the Russell/Moffatt years - a great showrunner; brilliant actors; scripts from two fellas that know how to write, that's for sure; Murray Gold; bigger budget than ever before. And it just feels flat, for some reason. Meh. Life goes on.
There’s definitely elements that makes Ruby feel like season 7 Clara. However, where I feel Ruby differs is the mystery that surrounds her ties into her personal emotional arc throughout the season, something I can’t remember Clara having and I think makes for great story telling
I think Ruby is very different from Clara, as with Ruby’s mystery arc, that’s something that actually happens in real life, being a foundling adoptee, not knowing where you come from and who your birth parents are, which naturally makes you mysterious, the only non-real thing about Ruby is her memories of the night she was born manifesting into reality.
@@Timewizz My biggest problem with Clara is that for Series 7b she is basically just a plot device with very little character and because of this I don't really see that much chemistry between her and 11, thankfully this changed with Day of the Doctor where she FINALLY felt like a person and not a plot device and her chemistry with 11 was amazing, it's a shame that it was the penultimate episode with them both as they are great together in those last two episodes so it's a shame we didn't get this prior. And she's consistently great with 12, even more so in fact! Whereas with Ruby of course there is this mystery but she still feels like an actual person and her dynamic with 15 is incredible, they are so good together and 15 doesn't keep going on about her being a "mystery that needs to be solved", he's intrigued of course but ultimately they are two best friends having fun travelling time and space together!
@@friendlyotaku9525 That's kind of the point of her character, we see her through 11's POV and he treats her like that, as something to be studied rather than as a person, it's not until the end of his run that he changed up that way of seeing her and 12 just saw her as her rather than a mystery box.

"Now you need proof, faith gyal?" Is so visceral, I LOVE IT.
One of my favourite lines of the episode. Ncuti’s delivery really sells it!
12 was literally popping back out of him in this scene demeanour-wise.
Definitely good seeing some traits of the previous NuDoctors emerging in 15
I do like that this episode brings out that side of him. He’s mostly able to keep it together but he does have some of that capaldi sass
During the episode, I could've swore that I heard Good Man flutter around.
He switched from happy-go-lucky voice to dead-serious voice in 2 seconds.
Well can you blame him, he's standing on a landmine that blow up at any second
Absolutely brilliant acting

It was great to hear Ncuti’s Rwandan side with the “seriously, now you need proof, faith *gyal* ”
Now that was a proper Doctor moment. Ncuti shone very brightly in this episode.
Thank you Moffat ❤

@@oksoi1997 we will, thanks :)
Here I am spoiling this for myself. Fighting an enemy that doesn't exist because of faith, such a good concept for an episode
He finally gets mean thank god. He was way too nice in the previous episodes. Like a kindergarten teacher
That's like Matt Smith's mean. I miss David Tennant's angry scenes.
@@matthewallen2273Give it time! I believe we'll get a heck of a range from Ncuti.

Watching this scene made me say, there he is, there's the Doctor. Ncuti did great in this episode, imo this was his "I'm the doctor moment".
he is COOKING
this episode was fantastic
This ep had no business being this damn amazing given what it was coming off the back of but wow

@@pipsdontlie3031 that’s what I meant - after such a high stakes tension packed ep I was expecting a more whimsical relaxed ep
i had mummy on the orient express vibes from this ep
I really liked Varada Sethu, I'm really curious as to how her future episodes as The Doctor's companion!!!
Didn’t recognise Varada at first, gets me more excited for season 2
I Wonder if she'll play this character or a New one tho
We've never had a "religious" companion so that could bé pretty interesting Dynamic wise with thé doctor !
I need to stop watching this scene so it doesn't lose its impact on me, but I just can't stop hitting repeat.
Dang, Ncuti Gatwa was so good here!
Why is everything shot in handheld?
why does he say get get get it?
He’s mocking them for not realising that they were never fighting anything
I don't get it
So little good in a sea of a historic horrible season it just makes me sad. 😔
Moffat should own Doctor Who and a new generation of scriptwritters (or just an AI) should be trained to write scripts like him for when he retires.
I wish he had better scripts. The guy is undeniably talented, but it feels like only here or there he's being pushed into that Capaldi/Tennant level of Shakespearean sturm and drang. And Ruby feels like Clara all over again - not the exact story, but another "Impossible Girl", and that's too bad because SHE is great, too. It's so odd. All of the ingredients are there for both a return to the wonder of the Russell/Moffatt years - a great showrunner; brilliant actors; scripts from two fellas that know how to write, that's for sure; Murray Gold; bigger budget than ever before.
