My stomach STILL hurts from the fact that the doctor chose the wrong Donna. That was honestly the most horrific part of the episode for me. And props to Catherine Tate for making it so unbearably poignant. The transition from horror to grief to acknowledgement that happens with her in the seconds after he leaves her and the bomb goes off is devastating.
The way all music stopped and you just heard her breath as she sees the fire slow approaching. Honestly I felt sick, I've not been this engrossed into a scene or episode in years.
To be fair, "It just is" is so Donna, though.
It gave me a sick feeling in my stomach, which I both love and hate RTD for. This episode was so brilliant, and god, Tennant and Tate both acted their hearts out.
... also, there is just this sinking feeling of dread I have for her now. This was the second almost death she's had in these specials. One as a finale emotional beat in each episode so far. The third, and final episode is next week. ...Im already sobbing.
Brilliant
Sadly, this is all we get of Wilfred Mott.
There was more planned, but Bernard Cribbins was too ill and passed away shortly after this was filmed.
If this is the last we see of Wilf, I'm glad he at least got to see Donna as herself again, and to give The Doctor a big hug.
I will never not cry when I see that scene. I know it.
They filmed The Doctor rolling Wilf into the TARDIS but after that it'll probably be a double.
It feels like all on set knew Bernard had just days left. Tennant as great of an actor he is just couldn't hide the sadness.
@@backtoearth1983David was so happy to get to work with him again, he was genuinely one of the most wholesome things in the entire franchise.
@@NottJoeyOfficial David grew up knowing the man from things like the Wombles. Same with Catherine. The man was basically Britains grandad, the man was loved by so many and I am SO GUTTED he will never learn how people have reacted to this small scene of him in this special.
It was such a lovely and heartbreaking to see Bernard Cribbins. It was his last screen appearance before he passed away. He will be missed.
Great episode!!
Donna CHOSE to carry the blood of tens of thousands of people on her hands when the Doctor had to destroy Pompeii, just so that he wouldn't have to carry the weight of that alone. She didn't have to press the button with him, but she knew her friend needed her in that moment and didn't hesitate. For me that moment has always cemented Donna as the best companion the Doctor could ever have.
Oi! Don't knock Martha! She was a brilliant companion. She was just treated incredibly poorly by the Doctor. She was strong, resourceful, smart and self-reliant.
Agreed. I liked Martha quite a bit more than Donna back in the day.
Her problem was that she came after Rose, big shoes to fill!
The rebound always gets treated like trash.
When I figured out that it wasn't just funky editing and there WAS multiple Doctors and Donna's I felt a chill go up my back. What a good episode.
The body horror mixed with moments of not knowing who is who or which is the original just before the reveal of more horror and distortion is a perfect allegory for the conflict between AI generated things and what’s created by active and creative minds. The idea of identity vs repetitious and distorted reflection.
Of course the first joke I made was "if they think the arms are hard they should try making fingers"
I agree, Capaldi was let down by some really bad stories but his portrayal of the Doctor was pure genius.
He was perfect.
@@serafimjones It was a natural progression, actors do matter and they bring to the table with themselves their gravitas, their own hold on the Doctor. I think where they are going with Ncuti is not gonna end up no well, we've seen already young Doctors, is it not enough?
Capaldi also had some of the best stories. I mean Heaven Sent, World Enough and Time, Listen, Zygon Inversion, etc
Capaldi, was also a big Doctor Who fan growing up... So it was a dream come true for him to be picked as the next doctor, and it showed even if the script wasn't good he acted his butt off and made it work.
I've honestly always disagreed with this assessment. Series 10 was a little weak until the end, but Series 8 had some absolutely fantastic episodes like Listen, Mummy on the Orient Express, Flatline, Dark Water, and Death in Heaven, and then Series 9 is literally all bangers except the Under the Lake/Before the Flood two-parter, and that one wasn't even bad, it was just okay. And hell, as much as I think Series 10 is weak overall, the finale is incredible. Capaldi was incredible during his tenure _and_ he had some great material to work with.
I think there’s going to be a part of him that will always be bothered by the fact that he chose the wrong Donna. Maybe that’s what he was explaining that the copy was 99.9% accurate, as a way of mitigating that he wasn’t as sure as he thought he was. And Donna….. the way went from absolute terror that she was being left behind to acceptance of her own death. Man….. dark stuff.
This was the perfect example of Doctor Who’s trademark charming silliness with a slap of creepiness and/or emotion😅
Seeing Wilf, even for one last time, was so special
Donna and Tennat are the best Doctor and companion combo, hands down.
Loved this one. A very classic back-to-basics adventure that focused on the two leads, I couldn't ask for more. This did more for the Timeless Child and Flux storylines, and their actual effect on the Doctor, than the episodes themselves. I'm certain the Mavity joke is going to carry on. And I was BLOWN AWAY that Bernard Cribbins' Wilf was here, I had no idea they filmed this so early. I'm glad he made one last appearance.
Smith is my doctor but I think Donna is the best companion. Although, still feel like Amy and Rory had the better overall story. And I agree with Adam that Martha doesn't get enough love. Specially because I think that she wasn't done justice. She was a doctor, she was smart, there is a lot of potential there imo. How she reflects on the Doctor could be an interesting introspection of the character, seeing as a lot of times they hold up the Doctor's intelligence and burden of knowledge as a reason he struggles with losing perspective on "the little people". Against Martha's medical doctorate requiring both that intelligence and compassion combo. Not to mention w/e stories you could write with a companion that is a bit more capable (in terms of figuring things out or not being as lost scientifically).
The long story of Amy, Rory and River is the greatest story arch peaking with the reveal of River's identity.
@@tomasjallen Also up there as one of the coolest episode titles that "still randomly pops into my head when I'm looking for an opportunity for my D&D character to say something badass". (Demons run when) A good man goes to war ((and Heaven Sent, Hell Bent)). AND it has one of the top tier Doctor monologues, with Colonel Runaway.
This episode was swinging for the fences from people who honestly didn't need to try this hard
I'm confused by the thumbnail, what does gravity mean? They meant mavity right?
Edit: Omgg they changed the thumbnail lol. I love that
A pedant would point out that Newton didn't invent the word "gravity", but it was an amusing running gag.
That's not the controversy about this episode.
This Newton is played by a British-Indian actor, and they made 14 bisexual.
@@JeshuaSquirrel the doctor can change his/her gender whenever they die, pretty sure all timelords are bisexual due to this fact, don’t get me wrong I’m
Not happy about a lot of the wokeness but that’s one thing I can get behind
One of the best Who in years! This is up there for me with Midnight and even Blink. This IS WHO!
Every time i see Wilf i ugly cry.. this was the last scene he filmed before he passed away
Jodie’s Rasputin episode was excellent
Sasha KILLS it as the Master
Hope the specials aren't the last time we are seeing you guys react to Doctor Who. We want you guys to react to the full seasons as well once Ncuti Gatwa takes over!
Parts of this episode had real mavitas.
If Adam eats a Big Mac, he's a Doppelganger.
Just watched the behind the scenes video that's come out about the episode. They used a giant treadmill for the running scenes on the long walkway. Took the Flash method to a whole new level
Your doppelgangers will have properly branded Avengers merch. Adam and Jay will be the ones in Avongers and Avangers T-Shirts.
They did have a treadmill for some of the running
I think there was one Not-Thing before they got there; it needed time to split because there was two of them
the second I finished watching, I knew I was in for a great reaction from you boys!
I loved this episode. It's like one of the tight, psychological episodes of the 10th doctor seasons, like Midnight. Good stuff.
6:32 I don't remember bad Capaldi episodes. Loved them.
I am so glad I'm not the only person who immediately thought "My Spoon is too BIG" when hearing The Doctor say his arms are too long X) You really made my day X)
After seeing the behind the scenes, they built some sets and her the floor as real, but the whole corrider was green screen. They did have a length to run but actually had a treadmill too.
To quote "the next doctor," "Wonderful nonsense!"
Yes, this was filmed in July 2022, during the heatwave the UK had.
The safest place for Wilf...is inside the TARDIS. He deserves to see the inside. :D
I'll be 💯%. I missed that they broke Sir Isaac and I had NO idea why the Doctor had to keep saying "mavity" to Donna!
17:57: Hahaha! I forgot about that, and then instantly started to sing along 😂
It feels like all on set knew Bernard had just days left. Tennant as great of an actor he is just couldn't hide the sadness.
As a lifelong Whovian (Tom Baker was my first Doctor) I am loving your reactions to these episodes. Just putting it out there, but if you ever find you have a gap in the schedule (unlikely, I know) a DW rewatch would be a really fun watch.
I really think that Adam should go back and watch the Flux season. It's nowhere near as bad as people made it out to be. I think a lot of people would do well to go back and watch Jodie's run after a few years. She was much maligned in the same way that Colin Baker was.
I dunno how you can put Clara up there but then say Bill of all people got the bad episodes 💀
I thought season 10 was strong so I was surprised to hear him say that!
Well technically the TARDIS does have “another timelord” because River admitted that she borrows it sometimes in that Christmas episode with Capaldi. That was a great episode.
My favorite part of that episode was River not knowing Capaldi was The Doctor because he was supposed to only have 12 regenerations, and Capaldi's Doctor was the next in line after that. That was an amazing bit of the story that I loved.
@@NottJoeyOfficial his "SERIOUSLY?" was one of the best line reads he ever did
Of all the things I never had on my list of stuff Doctor Who would do an extended tonal and aesthetic shoutout to, Event Horizon is definitely one of those things.
I never expected to see the Previewed boys reacting to Doctor Who and discussing who is the GOAT of Doc's companions...
Adric of course.
Psych!
The Doctor brings the best out of all his human companions.
Of course Adric wasn’t human.
@@cogitatorcat2306 Since I saw Blindwave reacting to DW I always wanted these two to react to it as they are the best, in my eyes...
I have to agree with Jay, Clara beats every other comp by far, she saved EVERY doctor at least once, even the 10th, as Moffat said she was in the library when He and Donna were there...
This is Midnight…on steroids ❤❤❤❤
Martha doesn't get enough credit, she was great!
Reminds me of a combination Midnight episode from Tennant and Living flesh from Smith.
By the way, they did use a treadmill! In particular, for that scene you showed! The set was entirely CG. So the fact that it looks real is impressive (totally get what you mean about The Flash btw)
Please do a complete rewatch of Doctor Who. I'm sure it's been years for you all and I want the tears and enjoyment!
Watching you guys react to Doctor Who is very weird. I've been a Who fan for 50 years, and it's soo good you guys are reacting to this.
They were running, the behind the scenes featurette shows how they matched the physical floor to the green screen.
Bravo on the Don Herzfeldt reference.
“Hey Doctor, what’s your favorite John Mayer song?”
“Oh, wellll…I guess, maybe…Mavity?”
Aww i was hoping to see your reaction to the Doctor emotional breakdown
Our reaction was…..wow this is so well acted. 😮
Sean Ferric filled in on WhoCulture for the Ups & Downs for this one. And the CGI for the Not-Things got a hard down. They thought the effect was too goofy to be scary.
I disagree. What is more terrifying than a goofy looking deadly threat? Because taking it too lightly makes it more dangerous.
The "goofiness" actually works to make the monsters more unusual. And unusual is VERY much a part of this wonderful franchise!
Of course, Disney could have built an actual miles long spaceship and flew it to the edge of the universe to film on location, and some people would still complain......
Me after watching this episode yesterday: “I should find out what happened in Flux. Guess I’ll read the Wikipedia page because I really don’t want to watch it.”
Jay: “I didn’t want to watch it so I just read the Wikipedia page”
LOL glad I’m not the only one
So, err, turns out they *were* running on a treadmill. See Director Tom Kingsley's SFX thread (it's tweet 13/18), just in case I can't link it directly.
I like going with the “Mavity” naming mechanism.
The Moctor
and
Monna
Aww, it's a shame they talked over The Doctor's breakdown
Theyve done it a few times where theyve missed important stuff by talking over them. Its a shame
i knowwww, i was looking forward to seeing their reaction to it :')
Blame copyright for that
FYI, you misspelled Mavity.
And a Cribbins, with the reason he was in this episode is because they said they had one scene with him in it before he died and said to say this will be the last time you see him in Doctor Who, unless they CGI him on someone else, which I don’t think I do all I know is before he died. They film this last scene with him rest in peace Bernard Cribbins
I don't understand the thumbnail; did you mean "there goes mavity"? 😁
They filmed this mid-2022; it was the last thing Bernard Cribbins ever filmed. They had more planned but weren't able to film it ☹️
Commenting twice, but fuck it, different subject. The only reason I'd give this episode a lower rating is because it didn't exactly feel like an Anniversary special? Still a great episode and one that I'd fondly remember-.. as episode 6 of season whatever. Because that's what it feels like, it feels like an episode 6.
@Adam 18:00 if you like those sound effects you might enjoy No Man Sky
Flux had some good bits, but I also found some of it confusing.
It did have more Timeless Child content - i.e. the Doctor not knowing where they are really from.
Seeing Wilf, I swear to god has to be one of the most wholesome scenes in all of Who. It just is. And then the old theme kicks in as well. AMAZING!
Throwing in Rory into the competition for best New Who companion. He's not really competing in the same category as the others since he's part of a duo and a reluctant companion, but that's part of what makes him stand out. He sees the doctor differently than the others. He spends millenia as the Lone Centurion watching over Amy. He overcomes his own fears on a regular basis. I love him. I'm not sure he's my absolute favourite, but I love him.
23:07 - it's okay, Jay, I'm right there with you. Tbf, I fell off of DW before Capaldi's run ended, so my problem was never with Jodie/13 specifically, but the longer it went on the harder it was to get back in. Most of what I've seen in-between are isolated episodes like The Doctor Falls/Twice Upon a Time and clips to get up to speed on stuff like The Timeless Child arc and Power of the Doctor.
If you ever want to watch a few good standalone Jodie-episodes, the episode about the India-Pakistan partition and the one about Rosa Parks were really good.
I found your channel during The Last of Us and I really, really enjoy watching because your reactions are so incredibly similar to my own.
Hi I am new I appreciate the deap cuts, and the open mouth watching.😊
My take on the over-arching story for this season is that "The Doctor of War" must return.
24:43 I’m here. Mark the body in places not seen. Like a shoulder or thigh. Doppelgängers shouldn’t know it’s there if they’re only copying you visually.
Last time I was this early, the thumbnail still said Gravity
They were able to get Bernard long enough to film that one final scene for the anniversary.
And I had no idea. When Donna opened that door and there he was, one final time, it tore me up.
So yes it was actually known to many of us who weren't hiding from updates that Wilf was in this, because we got set leaks. He was always going to be in it a limited amount because he was still old and hardly at his most healthy, but we did get this little bit before he shortly passed.
When he pulled out the salt and they mentioned how superstition is bad so far out in reality , and the doubles i felt like i was watching supernatural lol
I don't know if you can watch it in America but in the UK, right after the episode, you can watch Doctor who unleashed which goes behind the scenes of the episode. It showed the practical arm effects as well as the sets and Bernard Cribbins
Thanks for the martha defense , she has one of the best ending for a companion because she chooses to leave and she is still a baddass with unit , claras great too , theres alot of charachtwrs he could call bff but donna was the one he never thought about romantically
The tardis does indeed have a bit on the side outvthere, she's called River Song and she likes to borrow the tardis whenever she feels like.
The irony that in the behind the scenes they did actually have a green screen treadmill lol
if we are talking the GOAT of companions then the answer is, was, and always will be, Sarah Jane.
So i don't know why they brought in the whole "mavity" thing, but i kinda wish that played more into this episode
It was just there to be a running gag, chances are it’ll be significant more in Ncuti’s season.
MY SPOON IS TOO BIG?!?! What a niche reference!,
I'm been waiting for this reaction ep
When the Doctor went in to lick the goo Adam is horrified. Hilarious moment in pausing. Y’all are great.
For me it’s always going to be the tenth Doctor and Donna. Their chemistry is off the charts. I’m also loving fourteen so much! I’m going to be so bummed all over again when his run is over.
The Flux episodes started out really interesting, with Sontarans coming back and Dog Man (as my kids called him). But by the end it got really complicated.
I really wanted to see your guys reaction to the doctor talking about why he keeps running or his emotional outburst. Instead we talked about enders game. 😕
I *knew* Wilf was about to show up and I *still* fell apart when he appeared
I’d recommend reading the Wiki of The Flux episodes, Adam. There is some background information about The Doctor’s past that they mentioned in this ep & I’m sure will continue to come up.
Speaking of, I wonder if the gravity/mavity stuff will come up again later
David Tennant really bent over backwards for this episode
The captain is a Garm aka Tiger Person. RTD teased their return on IG before the series aired. They were in a 5th Doctor episode "Terminus".
For this specific episode he posted they were finally returning. Legendary troll of detail.
I think the thumbnail is wrong, it seems to say gravity when it should be mavity.
um actually, there was a set with a section of the runway floor so they were actually running
Donna spills coffee and the tardis had the same reaction my butt had after i also drink coffee
14:36 It happened in the end of Xenocide. Ender manifested his brother and sister back into reality
Allons-y! 🙌 I really liked the second special for Doctor Who. Wild Blue Yonder was great imo, loved the mystery & campy-scary stuff. Thanks for the Reaction! ❤
You didn’t watch flux?! Guys, that was the Jodie Whittaker season that worked and was fun! Watch it, you will like it.
Thanks, Jay & Adam! ⏳ Cheers to director Tom Kingsley.
I love these kind of episodes of Dr. Who! Weird is when Dr. Who is at its best!
It just hurts, it just really hurts that this is the only seen that we will see with Wilfred moff. He had managed to film this one scene before he died and they reworked it to where it was in the end of this episode and then I think you may hear his voice now and then but this is the end of that Titanic actor and it just makes me so sad😢😢
