Ikr it’s so weird how shows do all kinds of cameos and stuff with beloved characters for “fan service” but then they treat those characters horribly and spit on the fans. I love your videos because you’re so objective and don’t just hate everything with a particular ideology, only how it’s depicted. Keep up the good work!
The greatest attack you can do to someone on a cultural level is to make them think they are alone. As much as the people rewriting characters to be something they are not are trying to make people think they are alone, they truly are nowhere close to it, and the people trying know as such. It's all a facade, to make people who have common sense think they are abnormal. You are not alone, Alteori, the average person is weirded out by the seemingly random gender, sexuality and race rewrites of characters too.
The difference being, fans can only make non canon stories or changes, so its significantly less 'bad' than the actual writers and the shows/other things officially changing it. One is mostly harmless fun and the other is disgusting. But yeah. When somebody randomly changes a character for their own story its wierd to me but no foul really. When its done officially for seemingly no good reason at all? Thats a foul big time. But meh, that's just my opinion. Curious how others feel about it when its just fan headcanon (Also, fans who act like their version of the character IS canon and insult others for disagreements? Those people are beyond petty)
I always say all of us in the bottle are the majority. The other side has taken the neck of the bottle which gives them the ability the control what gets in or out. It’s just an attempt to lie saying that’s all that’s out there right now. We ARE the majority.
They also gave the finger to classic who again by retelling how the doctor met Isaac newton. Tom Bakers 30 second telling of his meeting was 1K percent better.
@@AdissapointedSonic Maybe I'm less racist, maybe I'm more racist. But my reaction was less, "Why is Newton Indian" and more, "Is Isaac Newton the White Power Ranger?"
They don't use the past to guide the future... they see the past as wrong and evil... either they're stupid, or they understand not teaching the past means you can do all those bad things people in the past did, and nobody will know what you're doing is bad, until it's too late... either they're ignorant, or intentionally know they're wrong and don't care. Either way, they don't understand people won't hear whatever message they want to tell if they don't tell it in a way that doesn't alienate people, or they tell it in a way that ignores human nature for the majority of people.
What was once peak television making the most that they could on a limited effects budget is now the equivalent of a high school production with a blank check. God, I miss the 90s...
Matt Smith's Doctor went past the edge of the Universe. I remember that. He thought there were more Timelords there, but it was some sentient planet, I think? Can't really remember. I just remember the actress that played the TARDIS in that episode was... fiiiiine as hell.
3:10 - In the Fourth Doctor's final story, _"Logopolis,"_ the Doctor does actually attempt to flood the TARDIS interior by trying to materialize submerged in the Thames and then opening the doors (though he inadvertently materializes on a ship on the river). Bottom line is that a little spilled liquid shouldn't have affected the TARDIS at all.
To be honest, I can just see that as the TARDIS having fun at Donna's expense; the TARDIS is _known_ to play tricks on companions, and she would've had to take them both to the edge of the universe anyway, so why not have a bit of fun?
The reason the tardis didnt disappear when there was danger before wild blue yonder is because the doctor had turned the mechanism off, but it turned on during repairs
Sadly Dr. Who is another property hijacked to spread a political message rather than entertain and tell good stories. We have seen it before with Star Wars, Star Trek, Willow, Indiana Jones, etc. Half the fandom has already left and I'm sure traditional fans are treating the new Dr. Who like New Coke. Maybe in twenty years someone will revive Dr. Who and be respectful of the stories and the actors that created the series. Today nothing is safe from the modern audience and that includes real life history.
Yeah, I disagree hard with this. I hardly believe half of the ‘fandom’ left. I don’t think the specials were perfect, they’re clunky. They’re spreading a message but not the tinfoil hat Disney controls everything conspiracy shit.
what i find interesting is if you look at RTD's new era so far you can see how much he was adjusted by other writers. i remember someone said this ages ago RTD and chibnall can have ok ideas but they need someone normal or sane to curate their work or they use everything that pops into their head and nothing makes sense and considering now their mixing in all this virtue signalling nonsense on top of bad writing im surprised anyone knows wtf is going on.
There was an episode where the Dr. and the master look into the Untempered Schism. They were both children. In the Jody Whittaker arc she meets a black female doctor who supposedly came before William Hartnell . That would have to mean Time Lords regenerate into children. The writers are always dumping on continuity.
@@quantumvideoscz2052 They are just fitting it around the whole "timeless child" bollocks. I think it has finally "jumped the shark". Please look it it up if you don't get the reference. What can I say? I'm old 😆
They love to say "dOcToR wHo WaS aLwAyS pOlItIcAl" but ignore that there is a difference between addressing political topics that is apart of the story and pushing the message
There's also a big difference between dealing with a political issue on another planet and dealing with a current political issue on present day Earth. The classic series never did that because they understood it could be divisive.
The Flux actually isn't a really old story; it was the story of the season immediately before this one. It was Jodie Whittaker's last season as the Doctor, which was shortened in production due to Covid and turned into one overarching story. It had about ten plotlines going on at the same time and was incredibly confusing. Actually, when Tennant said in this episode that "half the universe was destroyed by the Flux," my reaction was "Oh, was THAT what happened?" Because I honestly could not tell even after watching the whole thing if it had any permanent effects or if it was all undone. Tennant's reaction of punching and kicking a wall while screaming immediately after being reminded of the Flux was a very appropriate one, to be honest. Oh, also, I don't understand why Tennant feels like the Flux was his fault. I thought it was either Skeleton Boy and Skeleton Girl's fault, or it was the Doctor's adoptive Mom's fault, but like I said, I thought the whole story was really confusing.
im not going to lie seeing Chibnall's era and rtd's start of his second era im kind of missing the overcomplicated nonsense of Moffatt at least his stories were complex but a normal person could understand wtf was going on as for Chibnall and now RTD seem to be operating on coke or something when writing because they have no idea what their writing adn the audence has no idea how the episodes are going because it is impossible to get a hold of what is going on.@@zzodysseuszz
19:00 This actually IS a thing. The Doctor often does exactly that. He spends so much time pretending to be "normal" on his trips he often just... lets the people around him do their thing and only tells them what he wants. Especially with the Tenant Doctor, but also previous ones.
11:35 Omg I relate to this so much, the Doctor who episode that traumatised me as a kid was the one with these dead kids in World War something, that wore gas masks and asked if you were their Mother. It was terrifying😫😫. It was like a zombie virus infection thing if one of them touched you, and those little brats were spreading it faster than covid. I was so scared to leave my bed in the night for the toilet, I thought one of them would get me in the kitchen. I can’t imagine being asked if I was somebody’s mummy, oh… or being turned into a gas mask zombie. Or wearing a gas mask for that matter.
Given his experience with Shapeshifters and identity stealers you'd think by now the Doctor would've had ways to detect something like this. But this is where it gets weird, the number of times the Doctor loses his Sonic screwdriver the dude should be carrying a spare around at all times. But like most things, the writing goes downhill
Jack Basically would screw anything with a pulse..be it human or alien...oor robotic? He was such a playboy bunny that it had that james bond sorta suave vibe who had this way to try an charm the pants off you...literally, its why the doc would keep telling him to behave or focus, the two were a comical pair.
if the next doctor goes back to being straight would he still remember getting his backdoor smashed through? and how would he deal with all those memories as i personally would fly the tardis into space before opening the doors and going for a walk
@@bluespirit5112 ... WELL. Darn good thing I've already completely checked out emotionally. This whole thing, just... the show I've loved and watched since 1978. Just fantastic. Yay.
no implication. The Doctor has had NUMEROUS affairs with women over the 60+ years of the show. hell Tennant's Doctor had 5 off the top of my head. the most famous being his companion Rose. to suddenly have him gay makes zero sense and is clearly there for diversity. then again they made The Doctor a woman so i guess his sexuality was inevitable. this episode seemed designed to be as offensive to fans and insulting to Doctor Who as possible
Just cause someone isn't straight doesn't make them gay the doctor is asexual and debating on the incarnation can be more romantic than others, you clearly are not a fan cause actual fans of doctor who aren't complaining when the show updates
@@RabbiB0Y asexual means you aren't attracted to anyone. if The Doctor was asexual he wouldn't have had relationships with so many women. and if you'd actually watched the episode you'd know that they CLEARLY made Tennants Doctor gay. don't try to use the "not a real fan" nonsense. because the only people who use it are the people who actually aren't fans
@@TheMeta141I don't think YOU watched the episode because him being gay wasn't stated clearly at all. The Doctor was shocked that he was more willng to express love and emotion for things than he used to be which is a continuation of last episode when he said he loved Donna. The Doctor has had several implied romances with characters other than woman so him being pansexual was never a far off assumption
William Hartnell's Doctor must have had a wife because Susan was his granddaughter, and he also had affection for that women, was her name Carmen, in The Aztecs. There was Grace in the 1996 movie. Then we have Rose, Madame DuPompadour, Astrid Peth, Joan Redfern, River Song, and there might have been a small attraction to Clara. All female and all human.
I can't help but crack a smile every time you suddenly turn Posh British. If you love the concept of the Shifters on here, PLEASE do yourself a favor and watch the British Sci-Fi comedy "Red Dwarf". I recommend starting at season 3 (that's when RD gets into it's real swing) but of course feel free to start from 1 if you'd like.
I don't mind them mixing up the doctor's preferences between regenerations, same ethics, new person, but I really hate how these episodes can't decide if it's a new 14th doctor reusing a face like the 12th did or as the subtitle track states that it is ten. Like pick one, preferably the former. Also the flux was the last season lmao.
Your overview of this episode is far more entertaining than that of the actual episode🤔, well done. I'm not going to be watching the next season; however, if you make videos like this for that next season then I sure will be tuning into your commentary coverage. You should totally make a video for each episode of the New-Who 😎
Personally, I gave up on Doctor Who. I don't like being thought of as 'morally inferior' just for not liking a sodding TV show that I used to love. 🙄 I view my relationship with Doctor Who a lot like a toxic relationship with a partner. One who doesn't love you anymore, but won't openly tell you, though heavily implies it. They've got some new friends who they value more than you. But though that partner will insult you, she won't break it off with you, because she still wants access to what you've got. But then gets mad if you try to break up the relationship yourself like you're the bad guy. You can't win. The only thing you can do is shut your wallet, walk away and have the strength to never, ever go back.
The Flux was basically a wave of antimatter that nearly destroyed the universe because some people were afraid of the Doctor, and they wanted to make sure the Doctor couldn't find them after fleeing to another universe. It was a recent story with 13.
"Story" is generous term for the absolutely incoherent fever dream that was any of Chibnall's run. I watched that ish and I still have no clue what happened
@@DarthMatusHolocron True, the writing was bad. There were some good ideas, but Chibnall really screwed it up. That being said, I did enjoy Jodie's run as the Doctor on its own, it wasn't her fault that the writing was just awful. Kinda like Baker's time.
@@maximvandepoll3008 not like Baker's time at all, he had good episodes. There wasnt anything good under Chib. That tooth villain was like an edgy 8th graders idea of a villain, and literally not one episode without unending exposition. I dont blame Jodie, she did great in the regeneration special under another writer, but her seasons were absolute dogshit, some of the worst TV ever made
@@DarthMatusHolocron Agreed. Jodie herself was an amazing Doctor, and if Russel T Davies had re-taken the reins earlier (or if Steven Moffat held on the reins for longer), she wouldn't have been such a controversial Doctor.
If you like Jack Harkness there is a spinoff of him with 5 seasons "Torchwood" I think its a good show and if you havent seen it its worth skipping the new doctor who and watching it. Its doctor whoish.
The Flux happened in the last few months(?) of The Doctor's recent history. Half the universe was destroyed, along with half of our planets, while aliens protected the Earth. It was totally not Chibnall's reaction to how poorly the Timeless Child was received. 🙄
I am done with Doctor Who, I gave the Christmas Special a chance and the first act didnt know what it was doing. Hey it was more then I gave Jodie Whittaker. I miss the days of good stories before Capaldi.
While i understand many people's feelings on the recent events in Dr Who i do feel its wrong to call it already as many seem to have. While the recent stories had flaws i saw potential in Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle to a lesser extent. I believe that is the right direction. I feel its to early to call it cause i feel that the new team (which is partly the old team) may be testing the waters and seeing early on what might work and might not. My hope is that the lesson will be learned of what the fans want from which of the four specials performed best amidst the fan feedback. We only have 4 specials for this new era to go off of right now and we really need to wait for regular episodes to start coming out as specials typically differ notably in quality, stakes and such from regular episodes with regular adventures. Its entirely possible the regular episodes will be much better (Perhaps thanks to feedback from these specials) cause in a way Wild Blue Yonder and the Giggle feel like a different show from the Christmas Special and The Star Beast. Additionally while i'm sure many have issues with the events in The Giggle part of me is also excited for the fact Big Finish now has a new doctor to call their own and that opens perhaps the gateway to some new adventures from the writers at Big Finish and their audio dramas which could offer a ton of potential knowing what big finish has done with the eighth doctor for example.
I don't really liked the First one but not because of what many people bluntly dislike for aka the Non-binary "Analogy" but what is so on the top about The Giggle that makes it so bad to you? Like the bi-regeneration is not the biggest part of the plot and the rest is quite fine to me and even the biregeneration is not that surprising seeing the meta doctor and the toymaker being able to bend realities with his own rules or force to cause it. Like thinking about it people just seem to be overreating due to the name given to it? Like the toymaker being so powerful beyond reality and biregeneration being a myth exist so it was not that bad reagdless of it's unnecessity at most?
Wild Blue Yonder and the giggle had this serious feeling of copying when the Master first came back, the whole insanity and dancing with I could take over the world and no-one can stop me, the being defeated butt The master literally surviving in a dropped piece of gold, the going to the end of the universe where no one has gone before (originally it was the end of time almost, but there was nearly nothing left, none of the time lords had ever dared to go that far before. While I'm thinking about it, the pointy teeth of the copies were like that episode with the vampires in Vennis, they had perception filters that couldn't fully hide them because of the instinct for self-preservation... I don't know if these were easter eggs of sorts or just some new uses of some of the same ideas. Not to mention that there's been two episodes where it seemed like giant cracks in time were appearing and then closing off. Part of me thinks there's tons of opportunity to genuinely fix some things instead of just pretending Chibnall didn't happen, like troll the audience a little with some woke-sjw nonsense, fill the episodes with these details the fans will love, fix the story properly, and then gain a lot more fans back who then start to watch these "early" episodes when they didn't give them a chance the first time around -- that would be smart, but I don't think that's what will happen...
So the reason why the Doctor has his old face was actually hinted at in the Day of the Doctor where at the end the 11th Doctor talks to the Curator. Doctor: "Hey, I never forget a face!" Curator: "I know you don't, but let's just say you end up revisiting the classics."
Did it mess with anybody else's head that Wilfred still looked the same, but the Doctor's face had really changed because of how much David Tennant had aged? I think Wilfred is another Time lord
Capaldi's entire 1st episode was basically “Why this face!” The T.A.R.D.I.S. did used that emergency feature in an episode with Smith's Doctor. He is in a Russian Sub and a Martian is in it and the T.A.R.D.I.S., detecting it, leaves. But when the episode finishes, it doesn't come back. Because I remember the Doctor asking the Captain of the sub if he would mind making a detour by the South Pole (or something like that.) Also. Ah! Jack Harkness. “Hello, I'm Jack Harkness.” The man who's very introduction is a flirt. No wonder the Doctor is constantly “Stop it!”
On the nose aka unlike back in the days ow we learn to politicise lots of things or make them so on the nose ourselves..m like the majority of people complainibg stuffs like these are just people repeating other's sentednces like " this is woke and forced bla bla". Everything you can hear or see is easily FOCUSSED ON . And seeing these WOKE THINGS already so much talked about beyond the shows, it's really easy for any hater to make a big fuss out if them especially when everybody is copying each other's blunt statements. Like people don't actually analyse how this and that cannot work or is flawed but just complain about politicised matter which they themselves politicise in the first place
Yonder was missing just a few minor questions that The Doctor would ask. 1) What are they? 2) What do they want? 3) Are they sentient? 4) Are they dangerous? And of course my question "Why not just take them somewhere?" The Giggle annoys me for the same reason most "all powerful" characters do. Originally The Toymaker was as Cosmic Entity that had control over his own universe, he brought in people for entertainment and when he was defeated in a game his universe collapses. But here he just powers in the real world that can do anything, except they can't because plot.
There have always been inconsistency in Doctor Who. He once stated "I never use guns" earlier in the show...Two episodes later he was holding a gun on someone. This will really make your head spin. The fourth Doctor said that he had given Newton the idea for the theory of gravity over dinner!! :) The one thing I don't look for in Doctor Who and never have is historical accuracy. Learning history from Doctor Who is like learning Mythology from the MCU. I actually minded this less than suddenly taking away Davros' entire history in the Children in Need special.
'Into the Wild Blue Yonder' is the Air Force's I guess fight song at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Also, we had to sing it in Basic Training. I hated it so I started adding words to it and since there were a lot of people signing you would've had to be within 1 ft of me to hear it lol
The modern Dr. Who reminds me of when I would draw an amazing piece of art. Give it to someone then they draw a Hitler mustache on it and a rainbow flag in the background and clam they drew it, I just rough sketched it and they made it better and it was basically garbage before.
I think tenant was at the end of the universe before, but it was the end as in the universe was dying, rather than the end of the universe where it stops
I'd be curious to hear your opinion of the christmas special, episode 0 of the new season, and Ncuti's first real episode. So far I quite like Ncuti's take on the Doctor as a younger, more relaxed Doctor, and I thought the new companion did a great job of being likeable. It wasn't an amazing episode to be sure, and I found the musical numbers incredibly cringe, but it's made me curious to see where the actual season goes and if Davies actually CAN make great Doctor Who stories again, because based on the evidence so far... it kinda doesn't look like it.
I don't really like musicals but why people hate musicals so much like it's only a song and a dance and not a musical movie or full episode like. We complain about today's generation so much but what I don't understand is why do we all dislike the same things after social mefia's influences so much like it really fits the doctor's playful side we all have been familiar with. Everyone just seems brainwashed like majority having the same dislike and not even an analytical complain.
I fucking LOVE musicals, I just found the musical numbers in the christmas special pretty damn cringe. It was like that scene in Shaolin Soccer where the guy just starts randomly yelling out a song. @@Catastrophic_31
As a non fan of Dr Who I am genuinely curious about something. Do they ever address the fact that the doctor interacts with historical figures? Like did he just change history by meeting Newton? Or was he always destined to make that happen? Or do they hand wave it?
Doctor Who time travel is really wonky rule-wise. Some things are fixed points in time that can’t be changed or else the universe collapses and others you can change and it doesn’t really change anything. Sometimes the doctor really does change things and other times it’s a bootstrap paradox where the doctor was always meant to show up and mess with stuff. It depends on the episode. The doctor met Vincent Van Gogh and became buddies with him to the point that Vincent made one of his paintings for the doctors companion, with her name on it and everything, and then in another episode the doctor accidentally saved Hitlers life then shoved him in a broom closet. Neither of these changed history, but then in another episode the doctor didn’t die when he was “supposed to” and all of time collapsed and he had to basically kill himself so time doesn’t fall apart.
When Rose prevented her father from dying she messed with a fixed point in time and some creatures appeared and were killing everyone to "purify time". So her father had to allow himself to be killed to fix time and save the universe. Mount Vesvius had to erupt and destroy Pompeii but the Doctor was able to save one family.
@@ericchung3177 ooohh I think I get it now! Like the Rosa Parks episode for 13, Parks was always ment to do the protest on that day at that time, however history shows s flexible enough to allow for them to have an adventure getting there. Throw a stone into a river and the steam will flow around it
The thing with the Toymaker ep was that they said he lives by the rules of the game. But at the beginning he declares a game of hide n seek and runs off. This is not how you play HnS. First, there were 3 people and he did not establish who was 'it'. Secondly they didn't count, so all he did was run away. I had to conclude 'he was just being silly' 🙄 NPH did a great job though, very entertaining and really did hold the whole thing together.
There’s the end of time where all stars have gone out and back in Season 1 in the 60s they almost went back to the beginning of time due to a broken spring.
While yes, Tennant’s doctor did have a fair few relationships with women, he did have a few moments where he was at least slightly flirty towards other men. Namely with Shakespeare and Frank from Daleks in Manhattan. Only thing that bugged me about them pointing it out in this episode is that they’re ignoring that he has an established history of that. Love the rest of your points though, completely agree with everything else.
This looks like something out of spy kids. I'm so glad I didn't bother with these. How many once great creatives can lose their minds and destroy their best work before people stop falling for it?
i wouldn't say great creatives the best episodes of Russel's who era were when he worked with other people and used their ideas but he got all the credit because he was at the top and as we can see when you bring him back without the people who curated his work things went downhill.
@Alteori >>> *_"If the continuity is going to take a sh*t in the show, you're going to lose a lot of people."_* They already have LOST A LOT OF PEOPLE.
Also, no idea why the captain was bones? No bacteria exists in space. And the nothings would have no need to eat her as she was already dead since she killed herself by opening her helmet. She should have been 'preserved' like people stuck in ice. There's no decomposition in outer space.
8:20 I didn’t take the line about the doctor calling Issac Newton “hot” as him being gay but now more open about acknowledging he is open to acknowledging other men as attractive. Or possibly bisexual now. It doesn’t make sense either way cause even when he was a woman played to Jodi, her only possible love interest was Yaz, another woman. I guess he just has a Ncuti Gatwa really wanting to come out. 😂
13:15 1 thing I don't get about the horse captain in space is how did it turn into a skeleton? The reason that our remains biodegrade is because of insects, bacteria and other stuff such as acid in your stomach, but in space there's none of that because space is a vacuum. In fact space is so cold that the decomposition process halts immediately kinda like food in the freezer can last beyond its sell by date, so really the captain should remain whole and undecomposed indefinitely
They probably didn't even think of that if whoever wrote the episode even knew that fact. Tbf idk how many people know that decomposition actually can't occur in space due to it being so cold and there being no oxygen so all life processes shut down, including on the bacterial level where decomposition occurs so yeah... By all rights that thing shoulda been a mummy because dessication does occur but idk, maybe they mixed those words up or didn't realize they were different? Idk, but I also don't watch Doctor Who, saw it years ago and just never could get into it, but I'm curious about their species and find the mimic idea cool even if the clips in this review make them look so silly and I can't help but laugh at them ngl ^^' But yeah, decomposition in space? Nope, nothing survives to break down your body and you're frozen solid in minutes. Getting turned into unsettling jerky by dessication? I've heard it's true but it's a theory I would very much love NOT to test lol
So could the amorphous blobs see the explosion from the ship and mimic it to then collectively become an explosion that sweeps the universe eventually? Perhaps becoming a new Big Bang as they absorb the universe's memories and seed a new one? 🤯
Am I a bigot as RTD suggests? Let’s see… Bigot Definition 1: (Obsolete) One who discriminates on the basis of race, ethnicity, sex, or sexual orientation. Definition 2: One who is discriminatory towards bad entertainment offerings; one who has good taste in movies and shows and only accepts good quality writing; a critical consumer of mass media. Well, since nobody uses the old definition of bigot anymore, and since the new definition invented by Hollywood seems to fit, I guess I am a bigot towards bad Hollywood writing.
I kind of preferred Eccleston's (spelling?) Doctor when it came to his sexuality: He might look human, but he's not, and he views humans as sufficiently different as to not be attracted to them. Made a very nice contrast between him and Captain Jack.
You could tell the new episodes were gonna be dumb as hell when Russel T Davies changed davros' design because he claimed it made people uncomfortable to put him in a wheelchair cause it villainous the disabled apparently
Lmao I have never watched Doctor Who, I don't really care about Doctor Who, but I love David Tennant from Jessica Jones. But somehow you make these videos about a show I'd never watch, very entertaining.
Huh, it uh looks like Isaac Newton has been getting plenty of that famous British sun. Dr. Who has a bunch of great monsters that are existentially creepy, but then sort of fail in the execution due to budgetary constraints. The Daleks and Cybermen are like this for me.
Speaking as a long time Whovian (of which I will say since I learned to read at age 3, I am above average intelligence and not dumb) who watched both the old and the new Who, just wanted to say you are not stupid that they're just throwing a whole bunch of crap out the window including 60 years of how regeneration is supposed to work because people think that, "Hey my idea is really cool. I'm going to do it because I know better than all of you," vibe. I'm just going to skip the "well he doesn't understand because he's in a male appearing body to now I'm gay" and just say this is about the regeneration. The idea is this is a send off for David Tennant who gets to actually "retire" a Doctor. Whether that was the same personality or new personality I'm just not going to even bother trying to figure it out anymore if he's original 10 in identical looking but 14 body? Or if there's actually he just looks like old 10 but he's new personality 14 and has old memories from regen 10. It just doesn't matter anymore. So don't feel dumb. If you had a good time watching it then that's what matters! (And you are absolutely fine loving Neil Patrick Harris more than David Tennant. It's Neil freaking Patrick Harris who is one of the best performers out there when it comes to stage performances and that episode in regards to song and dance did him justice!)
Didn't the Fifth Doctor pick up his companion Leela on a planet at the edge of the universe? The tribe called "Sevateem" were the descendants of a survey team that ended up crashing on the edge of the known universe. At least that's the way I remember it, from watching it in the '80s. So yes, the Doctor's been to the edge of the universe before. He's also been outside it a few times.
Like a historical figure being played by a better looking actor is anything new. Hell, look at King Henry VIII, then look at guy who played him in The Tudors. I know Moffat and I believe Davies have said they had always considered The Doctor to be bisexual. I know there was a joke when Eleven was at a wedding reception (I think). Eleven said he danced with everyone, but the men were reluctant for some reason. Still, a fair point with Ten. Remember when Shakespeare came onto him? Ten just made a joke in a kind of eye-rolling way.
I'm not a big fan of the changes, but I THINK the implication is that 14 was gay-or-bi after regeneration; he's supposed to look like Ten, but isn't really supposed to be the same character (despite constantly acting like the same character, which is another sloppy writing problem.) Thus I've understood the exchange to be in effect: "Wait, is that who I am now in this incarnation?" "Well it wasn't all that far from the surface in this incarnation." This is aside from the question of whether the prior episode showed anything like this being not-so-far-from-the-surface. If so, then we can add gay-bashing to nu-Rose's (and Catherine's) gender-insulting of the Doctor at the end of that episode, since presumably they could tell.
They've retconned The Doctor so much that he's no longer The Doctor but "Magic Space Gay Man In Space" and they keep saying he was better when he was "Magic Space Gay Woman In Space." Make It Lame And Gay is the name of the game these days and it's destroying so many franchises. I'm so sick of this nonsense.
an actor's skill to act and the actor is more important than their race, also this actor's facial features are similar to Sir Isaac Newton's, and the actor's race especially isn't that important when the show is set in an alternate reality/universe/timeline which happens to be similar to ours but isn't exactly the same ofc and then the scene is just a small gag at the beginning of the episode so it's not that important expect that 1 bit of the word. when you look out of the window do you see the aliens from dr who occasionally and like as real aliens?
If the TARDIS can have a coffeemaker on the console, then it should have a contingency for if said coffee spills. If the environment is hostile enough for the TARDIS to leave, why TF would The Doctor ever intentionally leave Donna alone?
Isaac Newton was knighted in1705 not 1666. He would have been plain old Isaac when the apple bounced off his head. I guess that gender identity issue has addled the Doctor's brain so much that he/him/she/her/WTF can't remember simple facts anymore.
I mean- I personally never saw the Doctor as straight. Cuz with my shipping brain, "everyone is bi until proven otherwise" 😂 I was just WAITING for my Daster ship to become canon XD So nah, now that it's finally been revealed that there were indeed guys, the Doctor's bi in my eyes (always has been imo) But this newest Doctor, oh he is SO GAY, and I LOVE IT. XD (Look at that shirt!!) I just- I can't- Jeebus frick, I can't stop staring at that cake- 😅
They weren't hinting him at being gay, they were hinting at him being bi. More fluid. Which havinging growing up with both classic and modern who and the books and comics and all that. There have always been subtle hints he leans that way. He just like girls more than men. And seeing that its has more socially acceptable to depict same sex couples, thats what the writings did. Only softly hinting at something more because those were the times.

Ikr it’s so weird how shows do all kinds of cameos and stuff with beloved characters for “fan service” but then they treat those characters horribly and spit on the fans. I love your videos because you’re so objective and don’t just hate everything with a particular ideology, only how it’s depicted. Keep up the good work!
Well, at least they didn't put Sir Newton in a wheelchair, so we don't mistake him as a force of unrepentant evil... 🙄
😂 yeah thank god we how the production team feels about disability’s.
The greatest attack you can do to someone on a cultural level is to make them think they are alone. As much as the people rewriting characters to be something they are not are trying to make people think they are alone, they truly are nowhere close to it, and the people trying know as such. It's all a facade, to make people who have common sense think they are abnormal. You are not alone, Alteori, the average person is weirded out by the seemingly random gender, sexuality and race rewrites of characters too.
The difference being, fans can only make non canon stories or changes, so its significantly less 'bad' than the actual writers and the shows/other things officially changing it. One is mostly harmless fun and the other is disgusting.
But yeah. When somebody randomly changes a character for their own story its wierd to me but no foul really. When its done officially for seemingly no good reason at all? Thats a foul big time.
But meh, that's just my opinion. Curious how others feel about it when its just fan headcanon
(Also, fans who act like their version of the character IS canon and insult others for disagreements? Those people are beyond petty)
I always say all of us in the bottle are the majority. The other side has taken the neck of the bottle which gives them the ability the control what gets in or out. It’s just an attempt to lie saying that’s all that’s out there right now. We ARE the majority.
Yep
It drives me insane
They also gave the finger to classic who again by retelling how the doctor met Isaac newton. Tom Bakers 30 second telling of his meeting was 1K percent better.
they made isaac newton indian for some strange reason 😂
and whats to say the forth doctor didnt meet isaac newton after this story and talked about gravity
Indian Isaac Newton. Ok.
@@AdissapointedSonic Maybe I'm less racist, maybe I'm more racist. But my reaction was less, "Why is Newton Indian" and more, "Is Isaac Newton the White Power Ranger?"
@@KingsNJenssons common sense and my unwillingness to do Davies writing for him as you seem eager to do.
They don't use the past to guide the future... they see the past as wrong and evil... either they're stupid, or they understand not teaching the past means you can do all those bad things people in the past did, and nobody will know what you're doing is bad, until it's too late... either they're ignorant, or intentionally know they're wrong and don't care.
Either way, they don't understand people won't hear whatever message they want to tell if they don't tell it in a way that doesn't alienate people, or they tell it in a way that ignores human nature for the majority of people.
What was once peak television making the most that they could on a limited effects budget is now the equivalent of a high school production with a blank check. God, I miss the 90s...
Meanwhile Doctor's Daughter Jenny is still all alone travelling.
Matt Smith's Doctor went past the edge of the Universe. I remember that. He thought there were more Timelords there, but it was some sentient planet, I think? Can't really remember. I just remember the actress that played the TARDIS in that episode was... fiiiiine as hell.
3:10 - In the Fourth Doctor's final story, _"Logopolis,"_ the Doctor does actually attempt to flood the TARDIS interior by trying to materialize submerged in the Thames and then opening the doors (though he inadvertently materializes on a ship on the river). Bottom line is that a little spilled liquid shouldn't have affected the TARDIS at all.
To be honest, I can just see that as the TARDIS having fun at Donna's expense; the TARDIS is _known_ to play tricks on companions, and she would've had to take them both to the edge of the universe anyway, so why not have a bit of fun?
@@Jackson-ub1uv
*_the TARDIS is known to play tricks on companions_*
It is?
@@sixstanger00 Well, it'd be more accurate to say that she's a bit of a tease, _especially_ with Clara, and she also enjoys messing with the Doctor.
RIP Bernard Cribbins, your songs were the best and Donna's grampa was one of the only good things to come of her existence
The reason the tardis didnt disappear when there was danger before wild blue yonder is because the doctor had turned the mechanism off, but it turned on during repairs
Sadly Dr. Who is another property hijacked to spread a political message rather than entertain and tell good stories. We have seen it before with Star Wars, Star Trek, Willow, Indiana Jones, etc. Half the fandom has already left and I'm sure traditional fans are treating the new Dr. Who like New Coke. Maybe in twenty years someone will revive Dr. Who and be respectful of the stories and the actors that created the series. Today nothing is safe from the modern audience and that includes real life history.
Yeah, I disagree hard with this. I hardly believe half of the ‘fandom’ left. I don’t think the specials were perfect, they’re clunky. They’re spreading a message but not the tinfoil hat Disney controls everything conspiracy shit.
Facts
what i find interesting is if you look at RTD's new era so far you can see how much he was adjusted by other writers. i remember someone said this ages ago RTD and chibnall can have ok ideas but they need someone normal or sane to curate their work or they use everything that pops into their head and nothing makes sense and considering now their mixing in all this virtue signalling nonsense on top of bad writing im surprised anyone knows wtf is going on.
Sadly, your comment is another attempt to miss the obvious stuff that's been there since the beginning just to get likes.
You do realize Star Wars was originally an allegory for WWII, right?
There was an episode where the Dr. and the master look into the Untempered Schism. They were both children. In the Jody Whittaker arc she meets a black female doctor who supposedly came before William Hartnell . That would have to mean Time Lords regenerate into children. The writers are always dumping on continuity.
Exactly. The only time they can do that is if they die as children.
@@quantumvideoscz2052 They are just fitting it around the whole "timeless child" bollocks. I think it has finally "jumped the shark". Please look it it up if you don't get the reference. What can I say? I'm old 😆
I do get the reference, it's pretty common, honestly. But you're right, the TC crap is... evil. @@markenetube
@@quantumvideoscz2052 I'm glad you get it. They did jump the shark back then, but they were happy days.
How do you know it can't happen? Because they haven't done it?
They love to say "dOcToR wHo WaS aLwAyS pOlItIcAl" but ignore that there is a difference between addressing political topics that is apart of the story and pushing the message
There's also a big difference between dealing with a political issue on another planet and dealing with a current political issue on present day Earth. The classic series never did that because they understood it could be divisive.
The Flux actually isn't a really old story; it was the story of the season immediately before this one. It was Jodie Whittaker's last season as the Doctor, which was shortened in production due to Covid and turned into one overarching story. It had about ten plotlines going on at the same time and was incredibly confusing.
Actually, when Tennant said in this episode that "half the universe was destroyed by the Flux," my reaction was "Oh, was THAT what happened?" Because I honestly could not tell even after watching the whole thing if it had any permanent effects or if it was all undone. Tennant's reaction of punching and kicking a wall while screaming immediately after being reminded of the Flux was a very appropriate one, to be honest.
Oh, also, I don't understand why Tennant feels like the Flux was his fault. I thought it was either Skeleton Boy and Skeleton Girl's fault, or it was the Doctor's adoptive Mom's fault, but like I said, I thought the whole story was really confusing.
@@bluespirit5112not surprising. Jodie’s doctor had some of worst most incoherent writing I’ve ever seen.
> Actually, when Tennant said in this episode that "half the universe was destroyed by the Flux," my reaction was
"... what, destroyed AGAIN?"...?
im not going to lie seeing Chibnall's era and rtd's start of his second era im kind of missing the overcomplicated nonsense of Moffatt at least his stories were complex but a normal person could understand wtf was going on as for Chibnall and now RTD seem to be operating on coke or something when writing because they have no idea what their writing adn the audence has no idea how the episodes are going because it is impossible to get a hold of what is going on.@@zzodysseuszz
@@zzodysseuszz Jodi also could not have cared less about the franchise,
@@mcclintick She was also so dull. I actually fell asleep trying to watch her first episode when it just came out.
19:00 This actually IS a thing. The Doctor often does exactly that. He spends so much time pretending to be "normal" on his trips he often just... lets the people around him do their thing and only tells them what he wants. Especially with the Tenant Doctor, but also previous ones.
11:35 Omg I relate to this so much, the Doctor who episode that traumatised me as a kid was the one with these dead kids in World War something, that wore gas masks and asked if you were their Mother. It was terrifying😫😫. It was like a zombie virus infection thing if one of them touched you, and those little brats were spreading it faster than covid.
I was so scared to leave my bed in the night for the toilet, I thought one of them would get me in the kitchen. I can’t imagine being asked if I was somebody’s mummy, oh… or being turned into a gas mask zombie. Or wearing a gas mask for that matter.
Given his experience with Shapeshifters and identity stealers you'd think by now the Doctor would've had ways to detect something like this.
But this is where it gets weird, the number of times the Doctor loses his Sonic screwdriver the dude should be carrying a spare around at all times.
But like most things, the writing goes downhill
Exactly. In New Earth it didn't take him long to figure out that Cassandra had taken over Rose's body.
I love your analysis of this stuff. This video almost felt like one of the bad movies reviews at times because the show is THAT dumb now.
Newton didn't invent the word gravity either....
Fun fact: gravis is Latin for weight, mavis is Latin for thrush. Almost as if RTD thought of a cheap joke but didn't think it through.
Jack Basically would screw anything with a pulse..be it human or alien...oor robotic? He was such a playboy bunny that it had that james bond sorta suave vibe who had this way to try an charm the pants off you...literally, its why the doc would keep telling him to behave or focus, the two were a comical pair.
The Flux is one of the redcons by Jodie's doctor impersonation
if the next doctor goes back to being straight would he still remember getting his backdoor smashed through? and how would he deal with all those memories as i personally would fly the tardis into space before opening the doors and going for a walk
@@bluespirit5112
... what?
Born from whatnow?
The hell?
@@bluespirit5112 ... WELL. Darn good thing I've already completely checked out emotionally. This whole thing, just... the show I've loved and watched since 1978. Just fantastic. Yay.
no implication. The Doctor has had NUMEROUS affairs with women over the 60+ years of the show. hell Tennant's Doctor had 5 off the top of my head. the most famous being his companion Rose. to suddenly have him gay makes zero sense and is clearly there for diversity. then again they made The Doctor a woman so i guess his sexuality was inevitable. this episode seemed designed to be as offensive to fans and insulting to Doctor Who as possible
Just cause someone isn't straight doesn't make them gay the doctor is asexual and debating on the incarnation can be more romantic than others, you clearly are not a fan cause actual fans of doctor who aren't complaining when the show updates
@@RabbiB0Y asexual means you aren't attracted to anyone. if The Doctor was asexual he wouldn't have had relationships with so many women. and if you'd actually watched the episode you'd know that they CLEARLY made Tennants Doctor gay.
don't try to use the "not a real fan" nonsense. because the only people who use it are the people who actually aren't fans
@@TheMeta141I don't think YOU watched the episode because him being gay wasn't stated clearly at all. The Doctor was shocked that he was more willng to express love and emotion for things than he used to be which is a continuation of last episode when he said he loved Donna. The Doctor has had several implied romances with characters other than woman so him being pansexual was never a far off assumption
William Hartnell's Doctor must have had a wife because Susan was his granddaughter, and he also had affection for that women, was her name Carmen, in The Aztecs. There was Grace in the 1996 movie. Then we have Rose, Madame DuPompadour, Astrid Peth, Joan Redfern, River Song, and there might have been a small attraction to Clara. All female and all human.
@@Bruce_Parker please name these characters he's implied to have been with
I can't help but crack a smile every time you suddenly turn Posh British.
If you love the concept of the Shifters on here, PLEASE do yourself a favor and watch the British Sci-Fi comedy "Red Dwarf". I recommend starting at season 3 (that's when RD gets into it's real swing) but of course feel free to start from 1 if you'd like.
I don't mind them mixing up the doctor's preferences between regenerations, same ethics, new person, but I really hate how these episodes can't decide if it's a new 14th doctor reusing a face like the 12th did or as the subtitle track states that it is ten. Like pick one, preferably the former. Also the flux was the last season lmao.
I was just watching shorts about this, look at u coming to the rescue
Your overview of this episode is far more entertaining than that of the actual episode🤔, well done. I'm not going to be watching the next season; however, if you make videos like this for that next season then I sure will be tuning into your commentary coverage. You should totally make a video for each episode of the New-Who 😎
Personally, I gave up on Doctor Who.
I don't like being thought of as 'morally inferior' just for not liking a sodding TV show that I used to love. 🙄
I view my relationship with Doctor Who a lot like a toxic relationship with a partner. One who doesn't love you anymore, but won't openly tell you, though heavily implies it. They've got some new friends who they value more than you. But though that partner will insult you, she won't break it off with you, because she still wants access to what you've got. But then gets mad if you try to break up the relationship yourself like you're the bad guy.
You can't win.
The only thing you can do is shut your wallet, walk away and have the strength to never, ever go back.
The Flux was basically a wave of antimatter that nearly destroyed the universe because some people were afraid of the Doctor, and they wanted to make sure the Doctor couldn't find them after fleeing to another universe. It was a recent story with 13.
"Story" is generous term for the absolutely incoherent fever dream that was any of Chibnall's run. I watched that ish and I still have no clue what happened
@@DarthMatusHolocron True, the writing was bad. There were some good ideas, but Chibnall really screwed it up. That being said, I did enjoy Jodie's run as the Doctor on its own, it wasn't her fault that the writing was just awful. Kinda like Baker's time.
@@maximvandepoll3008 not like Baker's time at all, he had good episodes. There wasnt anything good under Chib. That tooth villain was like an edgy 8th graders idea of a villain, and literally not one episode without unending exposition. I dont blame Jodie, she did great in the regeneration special under another writer, but her seasons were absolute dogshit, some of the worst TV ever made
@@DarthMatusHolocron Agreed. Jodie herself was an amazing Doctor, and if Russel T Davies had re-taken the reins earlier (or if Steven Moffat held on the reins for longer), she wouldn't have been such a controversial Doctor.
@@maximvandepoll3008 yeah damn shame her run was essentially wasted. Maybe she'll get another shot in a Big Finish production, that would be cool
the Flux was something with the 13th Doctor and The Toymaker was a villain the 1st Doctor faced
The Flux is a Jody thing. Non-cannon if you ask me. Same as the timeless children
If you like Jack Harkness there is a spinoff of him with 5 seasons "Torchwood" I think its a good show and if you havent seen it its worth skipping the new doctor who and watching it. Its doctor whoish.
4 seasons.
Evil cannot create, it can only destroy.
(Gandalf probably).
RIP Dr who, dead at 60, killed by perverts with keyboards.

This is your best work yet. Fan of your Alien franchise videos.
Kick woke while its down everybody.
The Flux happened in the last few months(?) of The Doctor's recent history. Half the universe was destroyed, along with half of our planets, while aliens protected the Earth.
It was totally not Chibnall's reaction to how poorly the Timeless Child was received. 🙄
I am done with Doctor Who, I gave the Christmas Special a chance and the first act didnt know what it was doing. Hey it was more then I gave Jodie Whittaker. I miss the days of good stories before Capaldi.
Same here. I tried.
I left Doctor Who as soon 13th took over.
I have been trying to follow you on Twitter for weeks now. Love your videos by the way
While i understand many people's feelings on the recent events in Dr Who i do feel its wrong to call it already as many seem to have. While the recent stories had flaws i saw potential in Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle to a lesser extent. I believe that is the right direction. I feel its to early to call it cause i feel that the new team (which is partly the old team) may be testing the waters and seeing early on what might work and might not. My hope is that the lesson will be learned of what the fans want from which of the four specials performed best amidst the fan feedback. We only have 4 specials for this new era to go off of right now and we really need to wait for regular episodes to start coming out as specials typically differ notably in quality, stakes and such from regular episodes with regular adventures. Its entirely possible the regular episodes will be much better (Perhaps thanks to feedback from these specials) cause in a way Wild Blue Yonder and the Giggle feel like a different show from the Christmas Special and The Star Beast. Additionally while i'm sure many have issues with the events in The Giggle part of me is also excited for the fact Big Finish now has a new doctor to call their own and that opens perhaps the gateway to some new adventures from the writers at Big Finish and their audio dramas which could offer a ton of potential knowing what big finish has done with the eighth doctor for example.
Wild Blue Yonder I liked more than the first one despite some issues. Although I can’t say the same for The Giggle. Seriously what the f*ck was that?
EXCELLENT WORK. ALWAYS ATTACKING THE FANS SERIOUSLY DOCTOR WHO DIRECTOR
I don't really liked the First one but not because of what many people bluntly dislike for aka the Non-binary "Analogy" but what is so on the top about The Giggle that makes it so bad to you? Like the bi-regeneration is not the biggest part of the plot and the rest is quite fine to me and even the biregeneration is not that surprising seeing the meta doctor and the toymaker being able to bend realities with his own rules or force to cause it. Like thinking about it people just seem to be overreating due to the name given to it? Like the toymaker being so powerful beyond reality and biregeneration being a myth exist so it was not that bad reagdless of it's unnecessity at most?
@@Catastrophic_31 🤨 Here’s my question where the hell did you learn how to spell?
Wild Blue Yonder and the giggle had this serious feeling of copying when the Master first came back, the whole insanity and dancing with I could take over the world and no-one can stop me, the being defeated butt The master literally surviving in a dropped piece of gold, the going to the end of the universe where no one has gone before (originally it was the end of time almost, but there was nearly nothing left, none of the time lords had ever dared to go that far before. While I'm thinking about it, the pointy teeth of the copies were like that episode with the vampires in Vennis, they had perception filters that couldn't fully hide them because of the instinct for self-preservation... I don't know if these were easter eggs of sorts or just some new uses of some of the same ideas. Not to mention that there's been two episodes where it seemed like giant cracks in time were appearing and then closing off. Part of me thinks there's tons of opportunity to genuinely fix some things instead of just pretending Chibnall didn't happen, like troll the audience a little with some woke-sjw nonsense, fill the episodes with these details the fans will love, fix the story properly, and then gain a lot more fans back who then start to watch these "early" episodes when they didn't give them a chance the first time around -- that would be smart, but I don't think that's what will happen...
i swear a plushie of your mascot would be adorable ahhh :3
So the reason why the Doctor has his old face was actually hinted at in the Day of the Doctor where at the end the 11th Doctor talks to the Curator.
Doctor: "Hey, I never forget a face!"
Curator: "I know you don't, but let's just say you end up revisiting the classics."
Did it mess with anybody else's head that Wilfred still looked the same, but the Doctor's face had really changed because of how much David Tennant had aged? I think Wilfred is another Time lord
Capaldi's entire 1st episode was basically “Why this face!”
The T.A.R.D.I.S. did used that emergency feature in an episode with Smith's Doctor. He is in a Russian Sub and a Martian is in it and the T.A.R.D.I.S., detecting it, leaves. But when the episode finishes, it doesn't come back. Because I remember the Doctor asking the Captain of the sub if he would mind making a detour by the South Pole (or something like that.)
Also. Ah! Jack Harkness. “Hello, I'm Jack Harkness.” The man who's very introduction is a flirt. No wonder the Doctor is constantly “Stop it!”
Almost all stories from the past had political undertones. Some more subtle than others. But much of modern media is so on the nose it’s annoying.
On the nose aka unlike back in the days ow we learn to politicise lots of things or make them so on the nose ourselves..m like the majority of people complainibg stuffs like these are just people repeating other's sentednces like " this is woke and forced bla bla". Everything you can hear or see is easily FOCUSSED ON . And seeing these WOKE THINGS already so much talked about beyond the shows, it's really easy for any hater to make a big fuss out if them especially when everybody is copying each other's blunt statements. Like people don't actually analyse how this and that cannot work or is flawed but just complain about politicised matter which they themselves politicise in the first place
Yonder was missing just a few minor questions that The Doctor would ask.
1) What are they?
2) What do they want?
3) Are they sentient?
4) Are they dangerous?
And of course my question "Why not just take them somewhere?"
The Giggle annoys me for the same reason most "all powerful" characters do. Originally The Toymaker was as Cosmic Entity that had control over his own universe, he brought in people for entertainment and when he was defeated in a game his universe collapses. But here he just powers in the real world that can do anything, except they can't because plot.
There have always been inconsistency in Doctor Who. He once stated "I never use guns" earlier in the show...Two episodes later he was holding a gun on someone.
This will really make your head spin. The fourth Doctor said that he had given Newton the idea for the theory of gravity over dinner!! :)
The one thing I don't look for in Doctor Who and never have is historical accuracy. Learning history from Doctor Who is like learning Mythology from the MCU.
I actually minded this less than suddenly taking away Davros' entire history in the Children in Need special.
'Into the Wild Blue Yonder' is the Air Force's I guess fight song at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Also, we had to sing it in Basic Training. I hated it so I started adding words to it and since there were a lot of people signing you would've had to be within 1 ft of me to hear it lol

The modern Dr. Who reminds me of when I would draw an amazing piece of art. Give it to someone then they draw a Hitler mustache on it and a rainbow flag in the background and clam they drew it, I just rough sketched it and they made it better and it was basically garbage before.
We wana see you review that Deep Rising movie! RIP to Treat Williams
I think tenant was at the end of the universe before, but it was the end as in the universe was dying, rather than the end of the universe where it stops
I'd be curious to hear your opinion of the christmas special, episode 0 of the new season, and Ncuti's first real episode. So far I quite like Ncuti's take on the Doctor as a younger, more relaxed Doctor, and I thought the new companion did a great job of being likeable. It wasn't an amazing episode to be sure, and I found the musical numbers incredibly cringe, but it's made me curious to see where the actual season goes and if Davies actually CAN make great Doctor Who stories again, because based on the evidence so far... it kinda doesn't look like it.
I don't really like musicals but why people hate musicals so much like it's only a song and a dance and not a musical movie or full episode like. We complain about today's generation so much but what I don't understand is why do we all dislike the same things after social mefia's influences so much like it really fits the doctor's playful side we all have been familiar with. Everyone just seems brainwashed like majority having the same dislike and not even an analytical complain.
I fucking LOVE musicals, I just found the musical numbers in the christmas special pretty damn cringe. It was like that scene in Shaolin Soccer where the guy just starts randomly yelling out a song. @@Catastrophic_31
As a non fan of Dr Who I am genuinely curious about something. Do they ever address the fact that the doctor interacts with historical figures? Like did he just change history by meeting Newton? Or was he always destined to make that happen? Or do they hand wave it?
they explained that some moments are fixed and some are not
Doctor Who time travel is really wonky rule-wise. Some things are fixed points in time that can’t be changed or else the universe collapses and others you can change and it doesn’t really change anything. Sometimes the doctor really does change things and other times it’s a bootstrap paradox where the doctor was always meant to show up and mess with stuff. It depends on the episode.
The doctor met Vincent Van Gogh and became buddies with him to the point that Vincent made one of his paintings for the doctors companion, with her name on it and everything, and then in another episode the doctor accidentally saved Hitlers life then shoved him in a broom closet. Neither of these changed history, but then in another episode the doctor didn’t die when he was “supposed to” and all of time collapsed and he had to basically kill himself so time doesn’t fall apart.
When Rose prevented her father from dying she messed with a fixed point in time and some creatures appeared and were killing everyone to "purify time". So her father had to allow himself to be killed to fix time and save the universe. Mount Vesvius had to erupt and destroy Pompeii but the Doctor was able to save one family.
@@ericchung3177 ooohh I think I get it now! Like the Rosa Parks episode for 13, Parks was always ment to do the protest on that day at that time, however history shows s flexible enough to allow for them to have an adventure getting there.
Throw a stone into a river and the steam will flow around it
This guy fucks is one of the best lines in TV.
The thing with the Toymaker ep was that they said he lives by the rules of the game. But at the beginning he declares a game of hide n seek and runs off. This is not how you play HnS. First, there were 3 people and he did not establish who was 'it'. Secondly they didn't count, so all he did was run away. I had to conclude 'he was just being silly' 🙄 NPH did a great job though, very entertaining and really did hold the whole thing together.
The one thing that I get from this is that the hivemind is infesting yet another franchise.
There’s the end of time where all stars have gone out and back in Season 1 in the 60s they almost went back to the beginning of time due to a broken spring.
While yes, Tennant’s doctor did have a fair few relationships with women, he did have a few moments where he was at least slightly flirty towards other men. Namely with Shakespeare and Frank from Daleks in Manhattan. Only thing that bugged me about them pointing it out in this episode is that they’re ignoring that he has an established history of that. Love the rest of your points though, completely agree with everything else.
This looks like something out of spy kids. I'm so glad I didn't bother with these. How many once great creatives can lose their minds and destroy their best work before people stop falling for it?
i wouldn't say great creatives the best episodes of Russel's who era were when he worked with other people and used their ideas but he got all the credit because he was at the top and as we can see when you bring him back without the people who curated his work things went downhill.
@@lordsathariel4384 That's probably it. Christopher Eccleston always hated the guy.

The BBC, and now RTD, have in STAR WARS speak, *_"Gone to the Dark Side."_*
{That is NOT a reference to Ncuti Gatwa's skin color.}
@Alteori >>> *_"If the continuity is going to take a sh*t in the show, you're going to lose a lot of people."_*

Also, no idea why the captain was bones? No bacteria exists in space. And the nothings would have no need to eat her as she was already dead since she killed herself by opening her helmet. She should have been 'preserved' like people stuck in ice. There's no decomposition in outer space.
8:20 I didn’t take the line about the doctor calling Issac Newton “hot” as him being gay but now more open about acknowledging he is open to acknowledging other men as attractive. Or possibly bisexual now. It doesn’t make sense either way cause even when he was a woman played to Jodi, her only possible love interest was Yaz, another woman. I guess he just has a Ncuti Gatwa really wanting to come out. 😂
"Throw hot coffee in their faces." 🤣🤣🤣
13:15 1 thing I don't get about the horse captain in space is how did it turn into a skeleton? The reason that our remains biodegrade is because of insects, bacteria and other stuff such as acid in your stomach, but in space there's none of that because space is a vacuum. In fact space is so cold that the decomposition process halts immediately kinda like food in the freezer can last beyond its sell by date, so really the captain should remain whole and undecomposed indefinitely
They probably didn't even think of that if whoever wrote the episode even knew that fact. Tbf idk how many people know that decomposition actually can't occur in space due to it being so cold and there being no oxygen so all life processes shut down, including on the bacterial level where decomposition occurs so yeah... By all rights that thing shoulda been a mummy because dessication does occur but idk, maybe they mixed those words up or didn't realize they were different?
Idk, but I also don't watch Doctor Who, saw it years ago and just never could get into it, but I'm curious about their species and find the mimic idea cool even if the clips in this review make them look so silly and I can't help but laugh at them ngl ^^'
But yeah, decomposition in space? Nope, nothing survives to break down your body and you're frozen solid in minutes. Getting turned into unsettling jerky by dessication? I've heard it's true but it's a theory I would very much love NOT to test lol
19:58 the Flux is from jodie's area where the karsn doctor killed alot of planets and blamed it on the sontarons. XD
The Flux was Jodie Whittaker final 6 episodes before David tenant took over for the 3 specials.
Lol The flux was the 13th doctor. Jack also DID come back in the 13th doctor.
So could the amorphous blobs see the explosion from the ship and mimic it to then collectively become an explosion that sweeps the universe eventually? Perhaps becoming a new Big Bang as they absorb the universe's memories and seed a new one? 🤯
Am I a bigot as RTD suggests? Let’s see…
Bigot
Definition 1: (Obsolete) One who discriminates on the basis of race, ethnicity, sex, or sexual orientation.
Definition 2: One who is discriminatory towards bad entertainment offerings; one who has good taste in movies and shows and only accepts good quality writing; a critical consumer of mass media.
Well, since nobody uses the old definition of bigot anymore, and since the new definition invented by Hollywood seems to fit, I guess I am a bigot towards bad Hollywood writing.
20:13 The Flux was the last Jodi Doctor series in new who
I kind of preferred Eccleston's (spelling?) Doctor when it came to his sexuality: He might look human, but he's not, and he views humans as sufficiently different as to not be attracted to them. Made a very nice contrast between him and Captain Jack.
Ive been On your channel since your first Avatar and man we have come a long way haven't we
I mean there's that one scene in peter capaldi's doctor where he says that the master was his man-crush.
You could tell the new episodes were gonna be dumb as hell when Russel T Davies changed davros' design because he claimed it made people uncomfortable to put him in a wheelchair cause it villainous the disabled apparently
Lmao I have never watched Doctor Who, I don't really care about Doctor Who, but I love David Tennant from Jessica Jones. But somehow you make these videos about a show I'd never watch, very entertaining.
The toy maker reminds me of Doctor Wondertainment for some reason
Having watched the show, all I can say is: It was nice to see Tennant as the Doctor again, but I have no intention of picking the show back up.
The reason they are retroactively saying he was always gay is now they feel they can openly push the message.
Huh, it uh looks like Isaac Newton has been getting plenty of that famous British sun. Dr. Who has a bunch of great monsters that are existentially creepy, but then sort of fail in the execution due to budgetary constraints. The Daleks and Cybermen are like this for me.
Speaking as a long time Whovian (of which I will say since I learned to read at age 3, I am above average intelligence and not dumb) who watched both the old and the new Who, just wanted to say you are not stupid that they're just throwing a whole bunch of crap out the window including 60 years of how regeneration is supposed to work because people think that, "Hey my idea is really cool. I'm going to do it because I know better than all of you," vibe. I'm just going to skip the "well he doesn't understand because he's in a male appearing body to now I'm gay" and just say this is about the regeneration.
The idea is this is a send off for David Tennant who gets to actually "retire" a Doctor. Whether that was the same personality or new personality I'm just not going to even bother trying to figure it out anymore if he's original 10 in identical looking but 14 body? Or if there's actually he just looks like old 10 but he's new personality 14 and has old memories from regen 10. It just doesn't matter anymore. So don't feel dumb. If you had a good time watching it then that's what matters! (And you are absolutely fine loving Neil Patrick Harris more than David Tennant. It's Neil freaking Patrick Harris who is one of the best performers out there when it comes to stage performances and that episode in regards to song and dance did him justice!)
My headcanon for why the Doctor found Issac Newton hot, was that it was the new Doctor getting ready to emerge and ready for the bigeneration
Didn't the Fifth Doctor pick up his companion Leela on a planet at the edge of the universe? The tribe called "Sevateem" were the descendants of a survey team that ended up crashing on the edge of the known universe. At least that's the way I remember it, from watching it in the '80s. So yes, the Doctor's been to the edge of the universe before. He's also been outside it a few times.
That was the Fourth Doctor in the 70s episode The Face of Evil.
Like a historical figure being played by a better looking actor is anything new. Hell, look at King Henry VIII, then look at guy who played him in The Tudors.
I know Moffat and I believe Davies have said they had always considered The Doctor to be bisexual. I know there was a joke when Eleven was at a wedding reception (I think). Eleven said he danced with everyone, but the men were reluctant for some reason. Still, a fair point with Ten. Remember when Shakespeare came onto him? Ten just made a joke in a kind of eye-rolling way.
I'm not a big fan of the changes, but I THINK the implication is that 14 was gay-or-bi after regeneration; he's supposed to look like Ten, but isn't really supposed to be the same character (despite constantly acting like the same character, which is another sloppy writing problem.) Thus I've understood the exchange to be in effect: "Wait, is that who I am now in this incarnation?" "Well it wasn't all that far from the surface in this incarnation." This is aside from the question of whether the prior episode showed anything like this being not-so-far-from-the-surface. If so, then we can add gay-bashing to nu-Rose's (and Catherine's) gender-insulting of the Doctor at the end of that episode, since presumably they could tell.
They've retconned The Doctor so much that he's no longer The Doctor but "Magic Space Gay Man In Space" and they keep saying he was better when he was "Magic Space Gay Woman In Space."
Make It Lame And Gay is the name of the game these days and it's destroying so many franchises. I'm so sick of this nonsense.
an actor's skill to act and the actor is more important than their race, also this actor's facial features are similar to Sir Isaac Newton's, and the actor's race especially isn't that important when the show is set in an alternate reality/universe/timeline which happens to be similar to ours but isn't exactly the same ofc and then the scene is just a small gag at the beginning of the episode so it's not that important expect that 1 bit of the word. when you look out of the window do you see the aliens from dr who occasionally and like as real aliens?
If the TARDIS can have a coffeemaker on the console, then it should have a contingency for if said coffee spills.
If the environment is hostile enough for the TARDIS to leave, why TF would The Doctor ever intentionally leave Donna alone?
I wonder if John Barrowman can come back as the Toymaker's dad or somehing
I enjoyed the specials but like half of each of em half where not working in this show.
This one was my fav because it was the most dr who from them.
"Timey whimy stuff totally not the writing staff"
what is that piece of music in your outro, there's something about it, I feel I need to hear the whole thing
The villain was giving Q from TNG & Trickster from SPN vibes to me
And Rose Noble is 15!! BIG NO!
Isaac Newton was knighted in1705 not 1666. He would have been plain old Isaac when the apple bounced off his head. I guess that gender identity issue has addled the Doctor's brain so much that he/him/she/her/WTF can't remember simple facts anymore.
The flux was a uniberse ending event the doctor wasnt fully able to even stop. It ended up erroding I think more than half of the universe
I mean- I personally never saw the Doctor as straight. Cuz with my shipping brain, "everyone is bi until proven otherwise" 😂
I was just WAITING for my Daster ship to become canon XD
So nah, now that it's finally been revealed that there were indeed guys, the Doctor's bi in my eyes (always has been imo)
But this newest Doctor, oh he is SO GAY, and I LOVE IT. XD (Look at that shirt!!)
I just- I can't- Jeebus frick, I can't stop staring at that cake- 😅
"I think it's Spice Girls or something..."
Zoomers.
They weren't hinting him at being gay, they were hinting at him being bi. More fluid.
Which havinging growing up with both classic and modern who and the books and comics and all that. There have always been subtle hints he leans that way. He just like girls more than men. And seeing that its has more socially acceptable to depict same sex couples, thats what the writings did. Only softly hinting at something more because those were the times.
