For Capaldi to appear BEFORE he "officially" became the Doctor? Single greatest trick of "time travel" ever seen on television. LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! :-)
Personally, I love Capaldi but I don't like that much this decision of 'time travel trick' in this episode 'cause if you watched it before 'Time of the Doctor' (which is my case and, I think, the case of everyone else), the entire episode 'Time of the Doctor' get spoiled because you don't have this fear that the Doctor really dies since you already saw his following incarnation, as River would say : 'hush now, Spoilers', and I kinda they'd follow this advice instead of spoiling what could've been a great moment of uncertainty
Actually Capaldi has appeared in an episode(fire of Pompeii) which released in 2008(David Tennant's era episode) & also the spin-off show "torchwood" before but he is not portrayed as the doctor
@@lucasaymeric9627 Yeah but its Doctor Who and with a confirmed season after series 7 the tension and uncertainty if the Doctor will live or not is completely gone. It's like a "save the world plot," the audience will never fully believe that the world will end or won't be restored later because if the world actually did die then there would be no more story to tell.
I love how for parts of this speech, it isn’t one doctor saying it. It’s split up amongst the group, because it’s THE Doctor saying it. With every fiber of his being, every incarnation as one.
"Calling the War Council of Gallifrey! This is the Doctor!" That's a wonderful reintroduction to the long dead William Hartnell. He was actually the only Classic Doctor who was given a new line. This episode treats him with such reverence that he seems like a legendary figure and the man they got to record that line sounded exactly like him. They also perfectly infused previous lines into the scene. After Hartnell showed up, the rest of the Doctor's lines until Matt Smith's grim "Okay" was all archive footage. However, it was chosen carefully so that it sounded like each Doctor was contributing to the rescue mission whilst giving each other encouragement and confirming calculations in the process.
I can't wrap my head around the fact that Day Of the Doctor was almost 10 years ago Like wtf! I was 9 when Capaldi became the Doctor. Where does the time go???
@@TalosBjorn it's a shame. Jodie Whittaker would have been a great doctor if the story wasn't so all over the place and boring you could tell she was giving it her all
8365th Doctor: Theres more of me you know. Here they come! 5252nd Doctor: I'm here! 8164th Doctor: finishing calculations 4735th Doctor: I locked on to their cordenence 1757th Doctor: I forgot my cane 7963rd Doctor: 1757th you will be fine 8164th Doctor: how old are you? 8365th Doctor: 353858390 years old 1757th Doctor; 17474564 years old 7963rd Doctor: I don't know. That's how old I am.
Even now, seven years later, this scene still leaves me SHOOK... And I will always appreciate and admire how Capaldi entered the role of the Doctor: EYBROWS FIRST...
The "Attack Eyebrows" actually bookend his time as The Doctor - in this episode the first thing we see are his eyes; when he regenerates into 13, the "morph" occurs during a closeup on his eyes. They're the first and last things we see of the Twelfth Doctor.
There's one dramatic scene where Clara is just staring very intensely, and the doctor goes, "What are you doing? You're all eyes, why are you all eyes?! GET THEM! UNDER CONTROL!" And like three of my friends mumbled "says. Mr. Eyebrows" in response.
When I saw it for the first time on television, my heart jumped a little; he was my Doctor alongside Ten, and I was sad Eccleson didn't return for the anniversary episode.
Yeah, the reason "Grandad" exists is because of 9. 9 was going to join "Sandshoes" snd "Chinny" but Christopher didn't or want able to come back so they made the War Doctor, who wishes Ecolstein came back?
@@fmlazar I think it's more of a "damn it, now I've gotta come up with a catchphrase too". Hurt's Doctor is, ironically, the young guy trying to keep up with the old men in this scene.
Well, it’s not like some classic doctors didn’t have catch phrases. 2nd Doctor: When I say run, run 3rd Doctor: Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow 4th Doctor: Would you like a jelly baby?
I swear to god this was the coolest thing I've ever seen in a tv show and it's so unique to Doctor Who that you can't even rip this off. This is such a special moment and I'll never forget how I felt when I first saw it.
I am not saying that Doctor Who ripped this off, but this was done in Star Trek The Next Generation. The Episode "All good things...." Captain Picard focuses a beam into the same place in three different timelines that all happen simultaneously thanks to the judgement of Q.
"And I never want to see it again" The force Matt Smith pushed in that like cuts deep, he's seen what happens if he doesn't save them and he won't let it happen again. Love it
@@deadpooldan9862 also you know at that point Galifrey isn't burning because of his personal decision to push the button. Little easier to grieve when your races genocide isn't a result of your personal decision to press a button.
@@donanthebarbarian5177 Gallifrey would have been completely destroyed one way or the other, but the Doctor found a way to save it. He still remembered burning it and killing all of his race, and that pain will never leave him no matter what
@@justsomeguywithhalfamustac6837 wait... There is you but without a Mustache, You with an entire mustache... And now there is YOU with half a Mustache?
@@MaskedMan66 Oh really? I thought 11th was in charge in Day of the Doctor. It was all centered around him and Clara. 10 and War had their moments, but 11 was the boss obviously, because it was his series, it was during his run. He had the last say during the rescue operation (when speaking with the general, it was 11, who made the final decision).
+Simplejbones Usually for the Xmas break, I catch up on the year's past Dr.Who, but since the Beep has tightened their antipiracy, I can't find free (save electricity) copies. But, in any case, Romana showed a TimeLord is a shapeshifter. The Curator could be the same one who gave Pertwee into Baker.
+Simplejbones Curator is #4. Or at least some version of him that separated. He's the one who gave Osgood the scarf. He also does the same 'Who knows/Who's nose' thing 4th did. Was also 4th's actor.
So #9 says "And for my next trick" in the episode that is taken from Captian Jack was on the tardis at that moment. I like to think that Jack was there helping to save Galafrey.
There's a theory that in the episode when 9, Jack and Rose face off against the Dalek fleet and the TARDIS gets shot as it's coming at the fleet, 9 and Jack came to this moment to help the other Doctors save Gallifrey quickly and then they go back to the Dalek fleet to get Rose. The theory is helped by the fact that in that episode, the TARDIS is seemingly destroyed by the Dalek's weapon and the next time we see it, it materialises on the Dalek Emperor's ship next to Rose.
I could hear the entire theatre draw breathe when the Attack Eyebrows appeared. They did the impossible and we experienced a future Doctor. Utterly incredible
The First Doctor’s face is from “The Daleks”-with the voice provided by mimic John Guilor-while the Second Doctor’s face comes from “The Tomb Of The Cybermen” and voice from “The Seeds of Death.” The Third Doctor’s face comes from “Colony In Space” and his voice from “The Three Doctors.” The Fourth Doctor’s face is from “Planet of Evil” and the Fifth’s is from “Frontios” while his voice from “The Five Doctors.” Both the Sixth Doctor’s face and voice come from “Attack of the Cybermen” and the Seventh’s come from “Battlefield,” while the Eighth’s face comes from the 1996 TV movie Doctor Who. Which just leaves the Ninth Doctor, whose face and voice came from “The Parting of the Ways.”
It's a cheap trick. Davies destroyed Gallifrey to make the concept of the Time Lords and Gallifrey much easier to follow for new fans, it also allowed a new dimension of the Doctor to explored and added an incredibly interesting and unique part of the lore, aka the Time War, to be introduced. This made it even more impactful when The Master returned in series 3 and finally when Gallifrey and the Time Lorfs returned as a concept at the end of Davies era. Chibnall is a hack. He destroyed Gallifrey essentially to push the Doctor in the same narrative arc when we've already seen it done much more competently and with far higher stakes.
If I didn't know any better I'd say this calculation took me 7,000 years If I didn't know any better I'd say this calculation took me 15,000 years I'd say this calculation took me 20,000 years This calculation took me 40,000 years *_4.5 billion years_*
"Oh hundreds and hundreds. But don't worry, I started a very long time ago." At this moment there was a sonic disturbance emerging from the screams of joy from the millions of Classic Doctor Who fans all over the Earth.
@@MaskedMan66 My interpretation of why they didn't show them in colour is mainly because they weren't really there and it would have just been snippets from the classics. Thus if you showed them in colour there would be a weird quality difference. I mean even with the small glance we got of Eccleston, there was an odd quality difference. So just imagine if they showed Hartnell in colour.
Actually the clip of 9 used here (and later when they show John Hurt's face subtly morphing into Christopher Eccleston's when he regenerates) really makes me tear up. Knowing about how Chris was going through mental health struggles during his time on the show, it's understandable why he ultimately didn't decide to come back for this episode but my heart was still happy to see him represented onscreen like this.
@@jamiestewart48 Ooh, that could've been really good. I'm going to guess it's because the scene that line was in didn't take place on the TARDIS set, tho they still could have used the audio the way they did with the Classic Doctor actors.
They'd love you to think that's all it was. He had issues with people actually making the show too. He never says who, whether it's crew or actors or the bosses, but given Barrowman's general behavior I wouldn't be surprised if he were one of the problems. (And look how Chris behaves around him in the role. Nothing but sarcasm.) They *were* in talks with Eccleston about coming back. They actually thought they might get him; they issued early posters showing his jacket. Looks like he gave it a good think and thought, "...Nah."
If the Doctor had been there, Thanos would have lost. Also, he'd have gone off on one of his "stupid humans" rants if he saw the reckless misuse of time travel in Endgame.
@@antonbrakhage490 well they would tell the Doctor he didn't time travel at all. The Doctor doesn't time travel, he travels from universe to universe, his efforts are just meaningless for he abandoned his timeline to a better one where the Avengers are protecting their own timeline.
A small but impressive part of this scene is so impressive because it easily flies completely under the radar, at least for casual viewer. "Calling the war council of Gallifrey" was never spoken by (first Doctor) William Hartnell, in fact the name of the Doctor's home planet wasn't even established until the third Doctor era. John Guilor, a voice actor famous for his impression of Harnell, provided the new dialogue.
@@NiennaFan1why didn’t they get the first doctor? I don’t know, maybe it has something to do with the fact that he died. Just a thought. Not like he died in 1975.
I just realized. This is the moment Gallifrey knew they had to grant the Doctor more Regerations. Matt Smith was number TWELVE. At this point, the FINAL Regeneration. But the thrower of the Switch that saved their world was Number 13. Thus granting him more Regerations became a Fixed Point, if they didn't, the resulting paradox would annihilate the universe. The Doctor more or less RIGGED THE UNIVERSE to make the Gallifreyan High Council grant him another set! [Update: Stop bringing up the Timeless Child, this is officially now a What If Chinballs Was Actually Clever theory.]
huh... Y'know, I never realised that... though technically Smith was the 14th regeneration, when you include the War Doctor and Tennant's use of regeneration energy to revive himself and create the human-like clone that stayed with Rose. You are correct though... it was the final lifetime, with no more regenerations available to him.
Nice theory, but there's a small, glaring hole in it. You see, Smith's Doctor was the final Doctor, the 12th of the cycle when you add the War Doctor. He had also wasted a regeneration, resulting in the Meta-Crisis Doctor, which meant that while usually, the 13th incarnation is the last incarnation, for him, the 12th was the last. All of this you pointed towards in your comment. However, one thing you missed is that the Time Lords did NOT know about the Meta-Crisis. They counted all the Doctors, and the conclusion they would have reached would be that Smith's Doctor was the penultimate one. Therefore, the Time Lords giving the Doctor a new cycle did not become a fixed point. It is also not a fixed point because if it was, we could never have seen the Doctor's grave on Trenzalore, since that was an alternate future in which he did not get a new cycle. If a new cycle had been a fixed point, that alternate future could not exist
Such a pity Ecclecstone refused to play in this episode. I would have loved to see Capldi runite with old doctors, especially 8 and 9. I don't think that will ever happen :'(
msinvincible2000 ya i mean i know what happened with ecclecstone was bad and its his choice to come back or not but COME ON at least do it for the fans of the show
I just wish they'd used some more classic Who footage as we barely saw the classic Doctors and there is enough footage of them to include a close-up shot.
As someone whose never watched Dr. Who, it's weird to watch a bunch of phone booths in space flying aggressively into an exploding planet... yet it makes so much sense.
See, now THIS is Doctor Who. So emotional, so triumphant, so awesome. Also, the "all 13" line is underappreciated, because that is the ONE THING they all thought was literally impossible, an immovable law of their species.
They clearly have the power to grant extra regenerations though, so I doubt it's unprecedented. Also, 13 is the magic number. Since they have no reason to know that Tennant's doctor burned a whole extra regeneration, they have no reason to suspect that he didn't just regenerate the usual number of times.
Technically time lord's have twelve times they can regenerate, but that means thirteen faces in total. However, the doctor had already used all twelve of his regenerations at this point (iirc ten regenerates but doesn't change face or something like that), so it was in fact impossible, just not in the way you were thinking :)
@@J75Pootle Ten created a clone of himself with his "handy spare hand" when regenerating once during an invasion by the Daleks when Donna was his companion. Moffat counted that as a full regeneration.
@@Streality13 true, but my headcanon is that when they forced the doctor to regenerate into Hartnell's doctor and stripped them if their memories they also imposed the 12 regenerations/13 faces rule. Imagine if they hadn't: the doctor (who I would assume the timelords hoped would just end up being some background bureaucrat or something) dies for the 13th time but still somehow regenerates, then they have to come up with some excuse as to how that happened, it would be a whole PR mess lol. Also it's obvious that they were physically capable of restricting the number of regenerations because in the timeless cold episode they state how they deliberately limited it to 12 when they gave it to the general population
@@martinodoni8943 ...Huh. Cats have that nine-lives thing, and then there's the Avatar Cycle... I never knew Optimus had his own "canonically revives in a new body once in a while and it's always the same him every time" thing?
If three at once made a person well off, all their worst dreams happening at once, then ALL KNOWN by/at this point would be apocalyptic. Considering what was happening here, ironic.
Eleven: Geronimoooo! Ten: Allons-y! Nine: Fantastic! Eight: Blazes! Seven: Come along, Ace! Six: Aha! Five: Sorry, must dash! Four: This calls for a jelly baby! Three: Reverse the polarity! Two: When I say run, RUN! One: Hmm? What are you all talking about? War: Oh, for god's sake! Gallifrey stands!
Something most people forget from this moment. 1:14 "Because the alternative is burning" "And I've seen that" "And I never want to see it again" Even though they managed to change their own personal timeline the 10th and 11th Doctor's still have memories of destroying Gallifrey. Similar to how Rory has memories of being the Last Centruion even though the Big Bang 2 happens. Gallifrey might fall no more, but the Doctor still remembers it falling.
And it ruins everything. Because screw having actual consequences for one's actions. I loved how the Time War was something that couldn't be avoided and couldn't be changed. But like every show they have to go and ruin a good thing because reasons.
@@kevinfanning8027 You do know classic who didn't have a time war, right? The Time War more or less tongue in cheekily represents that cancellation and rebirth of the show into a new era lmao. A literal regeneration.
Not really, this scene meant it always happened this way, but no version of The Doctor before Matt Smith remembers it. The previous versions just knew Gallifrey was there, then it wasn't, so they assume it was destroyed and that they did the destroying.
Fun fact: The line spoken by the First Doctor in this scene was not actually spoken by William Hartnell in any of his episodes. The line was voiced by John Guilor due to the fact that Gallifrey was never mentioned during Hartnell's time as the Doctor.
@@MaskedMan66 "Time Lords" was mention in "The War Games" not "Gallifrey" yet until the Pertwee era. We got see a little bit of Gallifrey, but the name wasn't mention yet until "The Time Warrior."
If you stop to think about it, the time lords were FORCED by the Doctor to give him more lives because they would not have had Capaldi's Doctor to help save them unless Smith's Doctor regenerated.
Except they would have had no way of knowing that Capaldi was the 13th regeneration. As far as they knew they were only seeing one life cycle since there was no repeat of 10's face.
I think its a bit of both. They couldnt stand the Doctor before. Just look at how the General saw him. But after saving Gallifrey, that had to have gotten Doctor a bit of gratitude from them. They gave up their only way of returning to the normal universe (the time/space crack) to give the Doctor another round on the regeneration clock so to speak. But at the same time, they shouldnt have known about Capaldi's Doctor at the time so they might have hoped that giving him another regeneration cycle would allow him to come back to Gallifrey
I can't think of a more fantastic or ingenious way to introduce Peter Capaldi's Doctor to the audience. Say what you like about Steven Moffat, but that short, ominous shot is a master stroke!
@@Vereid Yeah I liked it better when stories were complex and very imaginative even though it meant the resolution could be too simple or flawed. Now are stories that are consistent, solved properly (kinda) but... idk that's just flat. I don't feel like it must be Doctor Who when watching them. I feel like it could be any other show. To be honest I can handle a little magic trick to solve a great plot (like series 10's trilogy with the monks: the end with Bill's memory was not incredible but the whole plot over the 3 episodes was one of the best of the entire show!)
All the actors when they got the role, always said, i was a big fan as a kid, but definitely Peter Capaldi is the ultimate whovian, he has watched the series in real time, was part of the original fan club, and fought to be the president of it, i can´t imagine how happy he was on the scene.
This is the first time we see a doctor introduced BEFORE their debut. It's a fun fact to think that Capaldi's Doctor is the one that solved the Gallifrey problem and not the Eleventh. Makes this appearance even more relevant when you see how Capaldi's regeneration is done. Love the fact he left using the same shot as he first appeared.
Also makes you think that 11 would have been able to sense the presence of another Tardis past his own. Which should have alerted him to the point of his own regeneration
@@KasaiWolf07 I think the same way as the Doctors don't remember saving Gallerifrey, 11th wouldn't retain memories of seeing the 12th. Bit of a cop-out but a common excuse for Doctor Who.
@@KasaiWolf07 Well, the doctor never can remember the crossovers with himselves completely. Eleven says it in the beginning of the episode, before he throws the fez through the wormhole. I think, without at least a partial memory loss, these encounters could never work storywise (timey-whimey). War completely loses his memory of saving Galifrey when turning into 9, if I understood correctly? Which is a bit tragic, actually. Temporarily ...
After the finale of Series 12 I had to view this to remind myself of how great Dr Who can be when written competently. I still get a thrill to see all the Doctors of that time working together.
There's plenty wrong with the writing of Day of the Doctor, but you're right, there's still leagues of difference between that and the last two series.
@@lapelcelery42 yeah sure, "Moffat worse writer ever, hail to RTD or the classics", if you think you can do better then prove yourself and go work for the bbc and try to land the role as a showrunner, then write yourself a story limited by budget, runtime and number of episodes. I swear everyone is a critic in this day and age and it really strikes my nerves. A true fan isn't so obnoxious in the first place, I understand kicking it at Chibnall but Moffat? He gave us Heaven Sent for god's sake. Go watch other shows instead of criciseing good writers or actors, like those fuckers who even have something to say about Matt Smith's Doctor, just shut the hell up damn party wreckers. I'm sick of hearing critical comments no one asked for EVERYWHERE on posts that are clearly pointed towards appreciation. Return to your damn imDb, rotten tomatoes and metacritics or blogs instead of popping everywhere, undesired like poisonous mushrooms.
@@sofyacab Well that's a pretty big mischaracterisation of what I said. Moffat has written some of the best episodes of Doctor Who since the new series started, and his first series as showrunner (5) is arguably the best season. The specific problem I have with his writing for 12 and Clara is that in order to make her look smart, he frequently makes the Doctor look stupid. In Day of the Doctor, three Doctors combined are so stupid that they are planning to commit mass genocide against their own people until Clara tells them "no, you're better than this", and only then do they decide to think harder and come up with a different plan. That's character breakingly stupid no matter who the writer is.
@@sofyacab "iF yOu tHiNk YoU cAn dO BeTteR" shut the fuck up you ninny, if that was how things actually worked no one would be able to give their opinion on anything except that which they can do themselves. Stop being a child with such banal "arguments".
"The alternative is burning" "And Ive seen that." "And i never want to see that again." Out of all the doctor who episodes there are this here is the single best. 13 doctors, 1 mission, save gallefry. And he does it!
This scene makes me think the Time Lords didn't give the Doctor a new set of regenerations in the Time of the Doctor out of kindness, but rather out of necessity. If the Doctor would've died on Trenzalore like he was supposed to, his 13th incarnation wouldn't have been able to help saving Gallifrey. The Time Lords may be able to fix paradoxes from time to time, but maybe not one as big as to influence their own existence.
@@MaskedMan66 Errr... Sorry dude, you're wrong. Russell T. Davies said that it didn't count as a full regeneration in interview at the time, but Moffat later retconned it so it did. Matt Smith was on his final life. He would have had two incarnations left, but the War Doctor & Tennant's vanity regeneration meant that there were no more left (12 regenerations = 13 incarnations). He was then given a new regeneration cycle & became Capaldi. THE DOCTOR: "Everyone gets stuck somewhere eventually, Clara. Everything ends." CLARA: "Except you." DOCTOR: "Have you been paying attention? I'm an old man now." CLARA: "But you don't die. You change. You pop right back up with a new face." DOCTOR: "No, not for ever. I can change twelve times. Thirteen versions of me. Thirteen silly Doctors." CLARA: "Okay, so you're number eleven, so..." DOCTOR: "Ha! Are we forgetting Captain Grumpy, eh? I didn't call myself the Doctor during the Time War, but it was still a regeneration." CLARA: "Okay, so you're number twelve." DOCTOR: "Well, number ten once regenerated and kept the same face. I had vanity issues at the time. Twelve regenerations, Clara. I can't ever do it again. This is where I end up. This face, this version of me." You must have seen that scene if you watched the episode.
@@MaskedMan66 By your logic all Time Lords lie, considering we saw them give him a new cycle. Originally on Trenzalore, he died. The timeline was later altered so he could live on. Do you even watch it? Arrogant fans who think they can dictate what is & isn't canon make me laugh. If he didn't get a new cycle, continuity is messed up from what we already saw in previous episodes. Please stop embarrassing yourself. 👍
@@MaskedMan66 In this case it's very much you. 😅 Yes he contradicts himself, but not in this instance. He allowed the Doctor's life to continue. If the Doctor didn't receive a new regeneration cycle, then the show is dead. Literally. How did he contradict himself with this episode?
I think they were already going all out. A tiny fleet was enough to nearly liquidize the Earth. Gallifrey's defences are strong enough to stop the current firepower. And remember, most of the Temporal Abominations are still alive on the Last Day. Most likely fighting was still happening elsewhere, and the moment 13 Doctors arrived, the Daleks called for reinforcements, so the firepower increased.
it was established very early in the classic series that the first law of time says a time lord cant cross his own time stream. But look at the multi doctors carefully the DOCTOR never did it, is was ALWAYS an outside influence!!
@@DalekTheSupreme yes I have and the specifically stated you cannot transgress the first law of time, but it was THEY that pulled 1st and 2nd out of their streams to help 3rd!
This is where Twice Upon a Time should have ended. Leading to this moment, the First Doctor begins the calculations, the Twelfth finishing it, and saving Gallifrey.
My theory was always that they save Gallifrey and then we cut to 12's eyes which then suddenly turn in 13's eyes. Missed opportunity from Moffat. But the rest of the episode was good.
I seriously love how they take scenes from old doctor who episodes and plays them in a way to make it seem like all the other doctors were still alive, even doing a brief glimps of peter capaldi being the next doctor helping out is seriously amazing.
"We have a plan." "At this moment we should point out it is a fairly terrible plan." "And almost certainly won't work." If that doesn't sum up every group project I did throughout school I don't know what does.
Brandon Rog well, as Captain Jack Sparrow said in World's end when he was called mad. "Thank goodness for that because if I wasn't, this'd probably never work."
Many cinemas in countries like the US, Britain and Canada has showings of the 50th anniversary special when it came on tv. My local cinema had like 5 showings of it over a few days. Many cinemas also air the annual christmas specials every year too.
The moment when you first feel nostalgic at hearing the first Doctor talk all the way to the 12th doctor's appearance, you just can't help but feel a heart-warming moment at that.
CaptainDayren Considering the 12th Doctor was not there to help them save the world but for another reason, most likely to gain calculations to restore the planet, we may get another in the 12th Doctor's special episode.
Seeing all the doctors pop up on the screens with their confirmations is amazing, and the quick snippet of 9 saying "And for my next trick!" Sends chills down my spine, even rewatching it. The last few episodes of Matt Smiths time were so, so awesome.
I saw this in theatres, and I remember the audience reaction when the First Doctor's voice started speaking, and again when Capaldi swooped in for his debut. 50 years of Doctor Who, all building up to this magnificent moment. I hope I'm still around to see what they do for the 100th.
Edrani Jodie doesn’t write the show. She can literally only play the role she was given. Regardless if you think the show is good or bad, it has to do with the writing, not her
For some reason I remember 1000s of people screaming when 13 appears... but I literally never saw it in theaters and do not know why I remember it in theatres and then I remember I am a quarter Time Lord lol spoilers
Honestly it was a pretty interesting and cool tease for the next doctor and seeing that Capaldi would take on the mantle that same year it’s very in place
he was absolutely fantastic... it was sad to see him go just after 1 season.. I really wished that they could make amends for the 50th special.... sadly they didn't..
+Clara Going Bye Bye i would agree if it were possible to actually get them all together without actually using time travel plus is clara still alive? i mean i like her as a companion i just havent been watching because i hate peter capaldi as the doctor id be more than happy to bet shed out last capaldi if it were a popularity contest but thats just from a pre capaldi doctor who fan
Hugo Ago go Always give new actors (no matter what show) a chance. Ep 2, Into the Dalek, had a pretty neat ending. The Robot of Sherwood was funny. Listen is one of the best DW episodes ever. Orient Express was so epic. The twists in the finale of S8... Wow... 9x01 was a bit of disappointment, but 02 was way better.
2:11 if you pay closest attention here, you'll notice that when they get hit in the War Room, you can see the exact moment a shot hits the War Room on the holo-map. Pay very close attention because you can miss it
Boy it sure is great to have Gallifrey and the timelords back and usable in the Doctor Who universe, I sure do hope that at no point in the future anything terrible happens for shock value removing any possibility of a longstanding faction being used as a plot point.
Having just watched Ep.2 of series 13, we seem to have conjured up another faction of time controlling aliens and wiped them out before we were even actually introduced to them! Perhaps after next year's specials Bill or Nardole will wake up to find Peter Capaldi's Doctor in the shower and the last three series were all just a dream?
Capaldi was there. Bootstrap paradox. If they needed an extra doctor to freeze the planet, then the doctor could of never gotten more regenerations in the first place. Of course, Matt's doctor would not of been able to remember Capaldi's doctor being there, due to those parts being time locked.
T-ZER0 Capaldi would of been the first doctor not time locked to those events, so he is the first to remember, which gets back to Moffat's theme. 10 was the doctor who regrets. 11 was the doctor who forgets. 12 was the doctor who remembers. Kind of ironic how the last season ended, but at the same time, was it ironic, or is the doctor just a damn good liar?
@@NativS2002 Nooo, the clip they should have used for 9 was him when he was so so happy and shouting, "EVERYBODY LIVES, ROSE. JUST THIS ONCE, EVERYBODY LIVES!"
In the novelization this scene is greatly expanded and is even more incredible. It also explains how they did the calculations exactly: the First Doctor started when he arrived and the TARDIS computer kept working on it over the centuries. Kind of like the sonic screwdriver and the disintegrating door.
I love how, when the general says “do it, Doctor!” Eleven just.....freezes. He looks terrified for a moment. His eyes. There is so much there. It’s the moment of truth, and he has no damned idea if this insanity will actually change anything. Really says how much this meant to him. He was so very afraid it wouldn’t work.
Well that and he was changing the path of his own history. The Doctor always feared knowing too much about his own personal future and such (see Logopolis for proof of that). That's one of his/her greatest fears.
No he had to do it quickly instead of this freeze moment every second more people dies in gallifrey he should be quick shouldn't wait damn these writers
@@septilevg6897 The writers made him freeze to give the moment more impact and to show that the doctor was still a little hesitant to freeze his entire race in time for however long, even knowing what the alternetives were. Overall, the freeze just gives the scene more dramatic tension and gives him some nice characterisation (something you want to be doing in every moment of a screenplay). I really hope that wasn't a serious critisism, because I have seen far too many people get mad when a character doesn't do everything perfectly even though without moments like this the story would be much less effective. There are actual elements to critisise in this, so if you really want to do that then take a few scripwriting classes so that you have some understanding of what you're talking about.
sparky10142 kind of sucks that he didn't want any part of doctor who after he left the show.. Im sure they would have given him an actual reprisal instead of recycling his old footage
It is a shame he had an issue with the previous producers and he's never wanted to reprise his role. But his non-participation gave the War Doctor an opportunity. In a perfect world, both would have had a real part.
"The Dalek's are increasing their firepower!" They might not have known what the thirteen Doctor's were doing, but there's no way they didn't recognize thirteen versions of his TARDIS. They knew they were screwed and increasing firepower was their version of panicking.
What are you talking about, all of this regenerations are the doctor (and if you meant to talk about the war doctor, he is between the doctor 8 & 9, not before 1, google ''the night of the doctor'' if you don't believe me)
void375 Sorry, I seem to having misunderstood what you wanted to say. If my comment sounded offensive, it wasn't meant that way(by the way which is your favourite doctor? mine is either Eccelston or tannent, I can't really decide)
This is one of my favorite moments on television. The way they managed to include all the Doctors from the series in a single sequence beautifully encapsulated how far it has come and how timeless it is.
Technically, there are dozens of things that are calculated by the sonic screwdriver for years and years, like the moment when 3 doctors try to hack a wooden door.
*What it would've been like if Christopher Eccleston had actually turned up in the episode.* GENERAL: "I didn't know that I was well off! All eleven of them!" TIMELORD: "No, sir! All Twelve!" *Peter Capaldi's face* *The Doctors prepare to save Gallifrey...* ELEVENTH DOCTOR: "Geronimo!" TENTH DOCTOR: "Allons-y!" NINTH DOCTOR: "Just this once! EVERYBODY LIVES!"
I remember watching this live as a watch-party live at 11/23/13 with 14 of my best friends. I bought a big TV-Screen, Popcorn and a new couch especially for this Event. For us this was the biggest event of our lives, we all enjoyed this beautiful Moment and saved it in our hearts. Unfortunately, almost all of these friendships are broken only one Friend is still with me. So trust in my word if I tell to you: "Keep always fighting for your friends. Staying in touch has never been easier. Just stop thinking and write them a simple *Hi, how are you? I was thinking about us.* and the first step is done." You never have to be alone, you choose to be alone.
For years he mourned, for years he believed he had killed his people, for years he was filled with regret for the choice he made. For years he has saved countless people, planets, cvilisations and even the universe itself but there was one moment he could never touch. One moment lost to him forever. One people he could never ever save... His own. but here, finally, we see all his incarnations doing what we all believed was impossible - They saved his people, and his planet - Together,
For Capaldi to appear BEFORE he "officially" became the Doctor? Single greatest trick of "time travel" ever seen on television. LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! :-)
Personally, I love Capaldi but I don't like that much this decision of 'time travel trick' in this episode 'cause if you watched it before 'Time of the Doctor' (which is my case and, I think, the case of everyone else), the entire episode 'Time of the Doctor' get spoiled because you don't have this fear that the Doctor really dies since you already saw his following incarnation, as River would say : 'hush now, Spoilers', and I kinda they'd follow this advice instead of spoiling what could've been a great moment of uncertainty
And it's not the first time Capaldi appears in Who either.
Fun fact: Capaldi appeared in world war Z as a doctor of W.H.O. Before he was in doctor who
Actually Capaldi has appeared in an episode(fire of Pompeii) which released in 2008(David Tennant's era episode) & also the spin-off show "torchwood" before but he is not portrayed as the doctor
@@lucasaymeric9627 Yeah but its Doctor Who and with a confirmed season after series 7 the tension and uncertainty if the Doctor will live or not is completely gone. It's like a "save the world plot," the audience will never fully believe that the world will end or won't be restored later because if the world actually did die then there would be no more story to tell.
I love how for parts of this speech, it isn’t one doctor saying it. It’s split up amongst the group, because it’s THE Doctor saying it. With every fiber of his being, every incarnation as one.
I never actually thought about it like that, but you're totally right.
Now you sent even more shiver down my spine
And he remembers
"Calling the War Council of Gallifrey! This is the Doctor!"
That's a wonderful reintroduction to the long dead William Hartnell. He was actually the only Classic Doctor who was given a new line. This episode treats him with such reverence that he seems like a legendary figure and the man they got to record that line sounded exactly like him.
They also perfectly infused previous lines into the scene. After Hartnell showed up, the rest of the Doctor's lines until Matt Smith's grim "Okay" was all archive footage. However, it was chosen carefully so that it sounded like each Doctor was contributing to the rescue mission whilst giving each other encouragement and confirming calculations in the process.
Yeah we know, we all saw the same thing you did.
"The Daleks know something is happening!" Its really fun to think about how on every Dalek ship is a frantic chorus of "It is The Doctor!"

Even now, seven years later, this scene still leaves me SHOOK... And I will always appreciate and admire how Capaldi entered the role of the Doctor: EYBROWS FIRST...
Independent State for Eyebrows
The "Attack Eyebrows" actually bookend his time as The Doctor - in this episode the first thing we see are his eyes; when he regenerates into 13, the "morph" occurs during a closeup on his eyes. They're the first and last things we see of the Twelfth Doctor.
There's one dramatic scene where Clara is just staring very intensely, and the doctor goes, "What are you doing? You're all eyes, why are you all eyes?! GET THEM! UNDER CONTROL!"
And like three of my friends mumbled "says. Mr. Eyebrows" in response.
OHH, but even more dramatic and deep was the way Matt left!! Haunts me to this day!!! So poignant!!
Capaldi was best doctor.
Wished we could have left off with him.
It's a nice touch that #9 is the only other Doctor to get a "live" cut to him in the Tardis.
True, even if Chris himself didn't come back and the scene was archive footage, it's still nice to see him here at all

And flirting with every timelord he encountered.
That is canon to me, IDGAF what anyone says
There's a theory that in the episode when 9, Jack and Rose face off against the Dalek fleet and the TARDIS gets shot as it's coming at the fleet, 9 and Jack came to this moment to help the other Doctors save Gallifrey quickly and then they go back to the Dalek fleet to get Rose. The theory is helped by the fact that in that episode, the TARDIS is seemingly destroyed by the Dalek's weapon and the next time we see it, it materialises on the Dalek Emperor's ship next to Rose.

Chibnall cannot write
It's a cheap trick. Davies destroyed Gallifrey to make the concept of the Time Lords and Gallifrey much easier to follow for new fans, it also allowed a new dimension of the Doctor to explored and added an incredibly interesting and unique part of the lore, aka the Time War, to be introduced. This made it even more impactful when The Master returned in series 3 and finally when Gallifrey and the Time Lorfs returned as a concept at the end of Davies era. Chibnall is a hack. He destroyed Gallifrey essentially to push the Doctor in the same narrative arc when we've already seen it done much more competently and with far higher stakes.
@Brennan Lu Let's just say, after watching series 11, I have made the conscious decision to avoid the latest series like the plague.
@Brennan Lu Well, I believe one can say, that, whether you like or dislike Moffat, Chibnall is objectively worse.

So just imagine if they showed Hartnell in colour.
@@MaskedMan66 they couldn't because the day of the doctor is a 3d production. The Eccleston clip already looks quite strange in the 3d blue ray.
Actually the clip of 9 used here (and later when they show John Hurt's face subtly morphing into Christopher Eccleston's when he regenerates) really makes me tear up. Knowing about how Chris was going through mental health struggles during his time on the show, it's understandable why he ultimately didn't decide to come back for this episode but my heart was still happy to see him represented onscreen like this.

I just realized. This is the moment Gallifrey knew they had to grant the Doctor more Regerations. Matt Smith was number TWELVE. At this point, the FINAL Regeneration. But the thrower of the Switch that saved their world was Number 13.
Thus granting him more Regerations became a Fixed Point, if they didn't, the resulting paradox would annihilate the universe.
The Doctor more or less RIGGED THE UNIVERSE to make the Gallifreyan High Council grant him another set!
[Update: Stop bringing up the Timeless Child, this is officially now a What If Chinballs Was Actually Clever theory.]
Oh yeah... this is big brain time.
huh... Y'know, I never realised that... though technically Smith was the 14th regeneration, when you include the War Doctor and Tennant's use of regeneration energy to revive himself and create the human-like clone that stayed with Rose.
You are correct though... it was the final lifetime, with no more regenerations available to him.
@@BYERE The regeneration into the 11th Doctor was the 12th (and final of the cycle). He was the 12th incarnation of the Doctor, and 13th 'life'.
@@derpedarp9041 The Doctor can be a manipulative son of a bitch when he needs to be.
Nice theory, but there's a small, glaring hole in it. You see, Smith's Doctor was the final Doctor, the 12th of the cycle when you add the War Doctor. He had also wasted a regeneration, resulting in the Meta-Crisis Doctor, which meant that while usually, the 13th incarnation is the last incarnation, for him, the 12th was the last. All of this you pointed towards in your comment. However, one thing you missed is that the Time Lords did NOT know about the Meta-Crisis. They counted all the Doctors, and the conclusion they would have reached would be that Smith's Doctor was the penultimate one. Therefore, the Time Lords giving the Doctor a new cycle did not become a fixed point.
It is also not a fixed point because if it was, we could never have seen the Doctor's grave on Trenzalore, since that was an alternate future in which he did not get a new cycle. If a new cycle had been a fixed point, that alternate future could not exist

See, now THIS is Doctor Who. So emotional, so triumphant, so awesome. Also, the "all 13" line is underappreciated, because that is the ONE THING they all thought was literally impossible, an immovable law of their species.
They clearly have the power to grant extra regenerations though, so I doubt it's unprecedented. Also, 13 is the magic number. Since they have no reason to know that Tennant's doctor burned a whole extra regeneration, they have no reason to suspect that he didn't just regenerate the usual number of times.
Technically time lord's have twelve times they can regenerate, but that means thirteen faces in total. However, the doctor had already used all twelve of his regenerations at this point (iirc ten regenerates but doesn't change face or something like that), so it was in fact impossible, just not in the way you were thinking :)

@@J75Pootle Ten created a clone of himself with his "handy spare hand" when regenerating once during an invasion by the Daleks when Donna was his companion. Moffat counted that as a full regeneration.
@@Streality13 true, but my headcanon is that when they forced the doctor to regenerate into Hartnell's doctor and stripped them if their memories they also imposed the 12 regenerations/13 faces rule. Imagine if they hadn't: the doctor (who I would assume the timelords hoped would just end up being some background bureaucrat or something) dies for the 13th time but still somehow regenerates, then they have to come up with some excuse as to how that happened, it would be a whole PR mess lol. Also it's obvious that they were physically capable of restricting the number of regenerations because in the timeless cold episode they state how they deliberately limited it to 12 when they gave it to the general population

Doctor: ...that wasn't suppose to happen...we shall begin the funerals at once.
I always wonder how the first doctor was even able to get there
Two: gallifrey falls? Oh my word!
Something most people forget from this moment. 1:14
"Because the alternative is burning"
"And I've seen that"
"And I never want to see it again"
Even though they managed to change their own personal timeline the 10th and 11th Doctor's still have memories of destroying Gallifrey. Similar to how Rory has memories of being the Last Centruion even though the Big Bang 2 happens.
Gallifrey might fall no more, but the Doctor still remembers it falling.
Guess that's what happens when you trigger a flashpoint
And it ruins everything. Because screw having actual consequences for one's actions. I loved how the Time War was something that couldn't be avoided and couldn't be changed. But like every show they have to go and ruin a good thing because reasons.
@@kevinfanning8027 You do know classic who didn't have a time war, right? The Time War more or less tongue in cheekily represents that cancellation and rebirth of the show into a new era lmao.
A literal regeneration.
Not really, this scene meant it always happened this way, but no version of The Doctor before Matt Smith remembers it. The previous versions just knew Gallifrey was there, then it wasn't, so they assume it was destroyed and that they did the destroying.
"And when I close my eyes I hear more screams than anyone would ever be able to count."
Considering that, this hits even harder.
Fun fact: The line spoken by the First Doctor in this scene was not actually spoken by William Hartnell in any of his episodes. The line was voiced by John Guilor due to the fact that Gallifrey was never mentioned during Hartnell's time as the Doctor.
Was wondering who it was, their impersonation was spot on!
True, Gallifrey wasn't mentioned until The Time Warrior by the Third Doctor Jon Pertwee
we do see the 1st Dr contacting the time lords in "the 3 drs" I thought maybe it was from there, but thanks for the trivia
@@MaskedMan66 "Time Lords" was mention in "The War Games" not "Gallifrey" yet until the Pertwee era. We got see a little bit of Gallifrey, but the name wasn't mention yet until "The Time Warrior."
@@rawyld Not by name anyway.
If you stop to think about it, the time lords were FORCED by the Doctor to give him more lives because they would not have had Capaldi's Doctor to help save them unless Smith's Doctor regenerated.
OMG good point!
Except they would have had no way of knowing that Capaldi was the 13th regeneration. As far as they knew they were only seeing one life cycle since there was no repeat of 10's face.
This comment now has exactly 69 likes. Fantastic!
I think its a bit of both. They couldnt stand the Doctor before. Just look at how the General saw him. But after saving Gallifrey, that had to have gotten Doctor a bit of gratitude from them. They gave up their only way of returning to the normal universe (the time/space crack) to give the Doctor another round on the regeneration clock so to speak. But at the same time, they shouldnt have known about Capaldi's Doctor at the time so they might have hoped that giving him another regeneration cycle would allow him to come back to Gallifrey
That's what I was thinking. Also as an added bonus, it seems that the Doctor needed more time to do the calculations as well!
2:14
I saw this in theaters, and that moment, the entire audience ERUPTED in cheers. It was amazing.
i saw it in theaters too with my sister!! she’s passed now so it’s one of my favorite memories with her ❤
I envy you. I found the doctor only lately. Wish I had been in the theatres for this!
Rest In Peace John Hurt. You were a wonderful Doctor

Goodbye Captain "Grandad" Grumpy may your co conspirators Sandshoes and That One remember you well
I can't think of a more fantastic or ingenious way to introduce Peter Capaldi's Doctor to the audience. Say what you like about Steven Moffat, but that short, ominous shot is a master stroke!
I think Moffat is great personally, just not the best showrunner. T Davis and Moffat are LEAGUES above what we have now though. :/
Agreed
@@Vereid Yeah I liked it better when stories were complex and very imaginative even though it meant the resolution could be too simple or flawed. Now are stories that are consistent, solved properly (kinda) but... idk that's just flat. I don't feel like it must be Doctor Who when watching them. I feel like it could be any other show.
To be honest I can handle a little magic trick to solve a great plot (like series 10's trilogy with the monks: the end with Bill's memory was not incredible but the whole plot over the 3 episodes was one of the best of the entire show!)
he wouldnt be responsible (most likely) for that particular shot, it would have been done by a mix of the episode's director and DOP
I had the pleasure of seeing this in a theater, and words could not describe the amount of excitement in the audience with this part, it was amazing.
All the actors when they got the role, always said, i was a big fan as a kid, but definitely Peter Capaldi is the ultimate whovian, he has watched the series in real time, was part of the original fan club, and fought to be the president of it, i can´t imagine how happy he was on the scene.
:-)
+MrBarciMan its better, series 9 is one of the greatest.
+MrBarciMan its better, series 9 is one of the greatest.
+MrBarciMan Peter is a great actor, better than david, and matt had better histories, Capaldi have made a great job with poor histories
Davison, Tennant, and Capaldi are probably the biggest Whovians that come to mind.
This is the first time we see a doctor introduced BEFORE their debut. It's a fun fact to think that Capaldi's Doctor is the one that solved the Gallifrey problem and not the Eleventh.
Makes this appearance even more relevant when you see how Capaldi's regeneration is done. Love the fact he left using the same shot as he first appeared.
Also makes you think that 11 would have been able to sense the presence of another Tardis past his own. Which should have alerted him to the point of his own regeneration
@@KasaiWolf07 I think the same way as the Doctors don't remember saving Gallerifrey, 11th wouldn't retain memories of seeing the 12th. Bit of a cop-out but a common excuse for Doctor Who.
@@KasaiWolf07 Well, the doctor never can remember the crossovers with himselves completely. Eleven says it in the beginning of the episode, before he throws the fez through the wormhole. I think, without at least a partial memory loss, these encounters could never work storywise (timey-whimey). War completely loses his memory of saving Galifrey when turning into 9, if I understood correctly? Which is a bit tragic, actually. Temporarily ...
@@hundetuemyep. He forgets so 9 thinks he actually pushed the button
Smith does remember the events of Day of the Doctor though. He references it in the next special.
I always get chills when I watch this scene. I think this is will forever be sitting in one of my favourite moments of Doctor Who.
I think its even on my Top 10 Epic moments list. Hell I dont have much else besides this, but its still that awesome.
+The Doctor um pardon me sir do you mean 2:33?
maximumrisk2004 there’s too many epic scenes
After the finale of Series 12 I had to view this to remind myself of how great Dr Who can be when written competently. I still get a thrill to see all the Doctors of that time working together.
There's plenty wrong with the writing of Day of the Doctor, but you're right, there's still leagues of difference between that and the last two series.
@@lapelcelery42 yeah sure, "Moffat worse writer ever, hail to RTD or the classics", if you think you can do better then prove yourself and go work for the bbc and try to land the role as a showrunner, then write yourself a story limited by budget, runtime and number of episodes.
I swear everyone is a critic in this day and age and it really strikes my nerves. A true fan isn't so obnoxious in the first place, I understand kicking it at Chibnall but Moffat? He gave us Heaven Sent for god's sake. Go watch other shows instead of criciseing good writers or actors, like those fuckers who even have something to say about Matt Smith's Doctor, just shut the hell up damn party wreckers.
I'm sick of hearing critical comments no one asked for EVERYWHERE on posts that are clearly pointed towards appreciation. Return to your damn imDb, rotten tomatoes and metacritics or blogs instead of popping everywhere, undesired like poisonous mushrooms.
@@sofyacab Well that's a pretty big mischaracterisation of what I said. Moffat has written some of the best episodes of Doctor Who since the new series started, and his first series as showrunner (5) is arguably the best season. The specific problem I have with his writing for 12 and Clara is that in order to make her look smart, he frequently makes the Doctor look stupid. In Day of the Doctor, three Doctors combined are so stupid that they are planning to commit mass genocide against their own people until Clara tells them "no, you're better than this", and only then do they decide to think harder and come up with a different plan. That's character breakingly stupid no matter who the writer is.
@@sofyacab "iF yOu tHiNk YoU cAn dO BeTteR" shut the fuck up you ninny, if that was how things actually worked no one would be able to give their opinion on anything except that which they can do themselves. Stop being a child with such banal "arguments".

"The alternative is burning"
"And Ive seen that."
"And i never want to see that again."
Out of all the doctor who episodes there are this here is the single best. 13 doctors, 1 mission, save gallefry. And he does it!
This scene makes me think the Time Lords didn't give the Doctor a new set of regenerations in the Time of the Doctor out of kindness, but rather out of necessity. If the Doctor would've died on Trenzalore like he was supposed to, his 13th incarnation wouldn't have been able to help saving Gallifrey. The Time Lords may be able to fix paradoxes from time to time, but maybe not one as big as to influence their own existence.
Time Lords doesn't do anything out of kindness; they always have a goal. They Saved the Doctor on Trenzalore so that he could save them
They might not have been aware that Tennant wasted a regeneration. Saying "all 13" could imply that they assumed Capaldi was his final life.
@@MaskedMan66 Errr... Sorry dude, you're wrong. Russell T. Davies said that it didn't count as a full regeneration in interview at the time, but Moffat later retconned it so it did. Matt Smith was on his final life. He would have had two incarnations left, but the War Doctor & Tennant's vanity regeneration meant that there were no more left (12 regenerations = 13 incarnations). He was then given a new regeneration cycle & became Capaldi.
THE DOCTOR:
"Everyone gets stuck somewhere eventually, Clara. Everything ends."
CLARA:
"Except you."
DOCTOR:
"Have you been paying attention? I'm an old man now."
CLARA:
"But you don't die. You change. You pop right back up with a new face."
DOCTOR:
"No, not for ever. I can change twelve times. Thirteen versions of me. Thirteen silly Doctors."
CLARA:
"Okay, so you're number eleven, so..."
DOCTOR:
"Ha! Are we forgetting Captain Grumpy, eh? I didn't call myself the Doctor during the Time War, but it was still a regeneration."
CLARA:
"Okay, so you're number twelve."
DOCTOR:
"Well, number ten once regenerated and kept the same face. I had vanity issues at the time. Twelve regenerations, Clara. I can't ever do it again. This is where I end up. This face, this version of me."
You must have seen that scene if you watched the episode.
@@MaskedMan66 By your logic all Time Lords lie, considering we saw them give him a new cycle. Originally on Trenzalore, he died. The timeline was later altered so he could live on. Do you even watch it? Arrogant fans who think they can dictate what is & isn't canon make me laugh. If he didn't get a new cycle, continuity is messed up from what we already saw in previous episodes. Please stop embarrassing yourself. 👍
@@MaskedMan66 In this case it's very much you. 😅
Yes he contradicts himself, but not in this instance. He allowed the Doctor's life to continue. If the Doctor didn't receive a new regeneration cycle, then the show is dead. Literally. How did he contradict himself with this episode?
0:21 If generals reaction was "all my worst nightmares" imagine the reaction of the Daleks when they detect 13 oncoming storms :'D
*A fly on the wall in the Dalek command ship*:
"Well, look at that. I didn't even know Daleks had bowels!"
it would be huge
Ruben Amador technically it is the storm
Ruben Amador Sounds like that's why they increased the barrage.
I think they were already going all out. A tiny fleet was enough to nearly liquidize the Earth. Gallifrey's defences are strong enough to stop the current firepower. And remember, most of the Temporal Abominations are still alive on the Last Day. Most likely fighting was still happening elsewhere, and the moment 13 Doctors arrived, the Daleks called for reinforcements, so the firepower increased.
Chibnall: Two of the same Time Lord can't exist in the same place at the same time
50th Anniversary Special: Hold my TARDIS controls
After what he arranged in the 11th and 12th series, he has no right to speak about the canon.
Even worse The Day of the Doctor wasn't first episode with multiple Doctors
it was established very early in the classic series that the first law of time says a time lord cant cross his own time stream. But look at the multi doctors carefully the DOCTOR never did it, is was ALWAYS an outside influence!!
Have you seen The Three Doctors, by any chance?
@@DalekTheSupreme yes I have and the specifically stated you cannot transgress the first law of time, but it was THEY that pulled 1st and 2nd out of their streams to help 3rd!
Coming up on the 60th anniversary currently and this scene is just amazing. Rest in peace to the absolute treasure John Hurt
The attack eyebrows making their first time lord appearance
This is where Twice Upon a Time should have ended. Leading to this moment, the First Doctor begins the calculations, the Twelfth finishing it, and saving Gallifrey.
WAIT. BUT. THIRTEEN!!!
Right! That would've completed the cycle from War (the beginning) all the way to the final hour, 12 (13, the infamous Final Hour).
Trunks of Future Past no leave it at 12 doctors and the war doctor
My theory was always that they save Gallifrey and then we cut to 12's eyes which then suddenly turn in 13's eyes. Missed opportunity from Moffat. But the rest of the episode was good.
one of the best dr who episodes ever dt was out acted by ms and jh rip 😁

Every.Single.Time. I tear up, also.
Kenneth Satria well there 11 more
Kenneth Satria Hmm all 13th
I wonder who the 13th doctor is
Jodie Whittaker.
I seriously love how they take scenes from old doctor who episodes and plays them in a way to make it seem like all the other doctors were still alive, even doing a brief glimps of peter capaldi being the next doctor helping out is seriously amazing.
"We have a plan."
"At this moment we should point out it is a fairly terrible plan."
"And almost certainly won't work."
If that doesn't sum up every group project I did throughout school I don't know what does.

It's doctor who don't be a hater it's a amazing series
BBH08tv Family fun vlogs and more I wasn’t hating. I love the show but that was the next line in the quote

Brandon Rog well, as Captain Jack Sparrow said in World's end when he was called mad. "Thank goodness for that because if I wasn't, this'd probably never work."
"No...all thirteen!"
The cheers in the theater when this happened were the best thing ever. It's great being a Whovian
Lydia Beam yeah. It's like a Godzilla roar.
Cinema? It was broadcasted on a cinema? Can someone explain that?
Many cinemas in countries like the US, Britain and Canada has showings of the 50th anniversary special when it came on tv. My local cinema had like 5 showings of it over a few days. Many cinemas also air the annual christmas specials every year too.

The moment when you first feel nostalgic at hearing the first Doctor talk all the way to the 12th doctor's appearance, you just can't help but feel a heart-warming moment at that.
Why do I feel like this is one of the most epic moments in Doctor Who?
CaptainDayren Because it was.
CaptainDayren Considering the 12th Doctor was not there to help them save the world but for another reason, most likely to gain calculations to restore the planet, we may get another in the 12th Doctor's special episode.
orrthehunter I'm thinking the same thing, he helped on his way, and he's on his way to Gallifrey
CaptainDayren Because the whole Gallifrey Falls Story Arc went one for 8 years, basically shaping the 9th and 10th DoctorsNow we get some closure
CaptainDayren Because it is.

I saw this in theatres, and I remember the audience reaction when the First Doctor's voice started speaking, and again when Capaldi swooped in for his debut. 50 years of Doctor Who, all building up to this magnificent moment. I hope I'm still around to see what they do for the 100th.

Am I the only one that absolutely loves 9? He doesn't get much recognition among the show or the fans, but I flippin love him.
no, 9 was an excellent doctor, he was just massively overshadowed by 10.
he was absolutely fantastic... it was sad to see him go just after 1 season.. I really wished that they could make amends for the 50th special.... sadly they didn't..
yea he was awesome, especially in those moments when he was cruel and mercilessly to the daleks

Boy it sure is great to have Gallifrey and the timelords back and usable in the Doctor Who universe, I sure do hope that at no point in the future anything terrible happens for shock value removing any possibility of a longstanding faction being used as a plot point.
Having just watched Ep.2 of series 13, we seem to have conjured up another faction of time controlling aliens and wiped them out before we were even actually introduced to them! Perhaps after next year's specials Bill or Nardole will wake up to find Peter Capaldi's Doctor in the shower and the last three series were all just a dream?

Capaldi was there. Bootstrap paradox. If they needed an extra doctor to freeze the planet, then the doctor could of never gotten more regenerations in the first place. Of course, Matt's doctor would not of been able to remember Capaldi's doctor being there, due to those parts being time locked.
Yep, But he would remember saving the planet. And that is really ALL of the Doctor's incarnations.
T-ZER0 Capaldi would of been the first doctor not time locked to those events, so he is the first to remember, which gets back to Moffat's theme.
10 was the doctor who regrets.
11 was the doctor who forgets.
12 was the doctor who remembers. Kind of ironic how the last season ended, but at the same time, was it ironic, or is the doctor just a damn good liar?
I just wish we’d seen a bit more of 9 in this moment but such a gooooooood scene. Definitely in my top five along with Van Gogh
They had to reuse old clips because he wouldn't come back, and there wasn't much to work with
They could've added "Fantastic" after "Gallifrey Stands"
Ah yeah I agree and Van Gogh episode was absolutely amazing. The shows writers of today can't even come close to episodes like Vincent and the Doctor.

Won't work.
Can't have a Once happen Twice.
In the novelization this scene is greatly expanded and is even more incredible. It also explains how they did the calculations exactly: the First Doctor started when he arrived and the TARDIS computer kept working on it over the centuries. Kind of like the sonic screwdriver and the disintegrating door.
They did heavily imply that here.
When the first doctor said "commencing calculations", that's exactly what was being kicked off.
Love him or hate him, but Peter Capaldi has one of the greatest and most badass entrance scenes ever... Literally gave me chills...

I love how, when the general says “do it, Doctor!” Eleven just.....freezes. He looks terrified for a moment.
His eyes. There is so much there. It’s the moment of truth, and he has no damned idea if this insanity will actually change anything.
Really says how much this meant to him. He was so very afraid it wouldn’t work.
Well that and he was changing the path of his own history. The Doctor always feared knowing too much about his own personal future and such (see Logopolis for proof of that). That's one of his/her greatest fears.
No he had to do it quickly instead of this freeze moment every second more people dies in gallifrey he should be quick shouldn't wait damn these writers
@@septilevg6897 The writers made him freeze to give the moment more impact and to show that the doctor was still a little hesitant to freeze his entire race in time for however long, even knowing what the alternetives were. Overall, the freeze just gives the scene more dramatic tension and gives him some nice characterisation (something you want to be doing in every moment of a screenplay). I really hope that wasn't a serious critisism, because I have seen far too many people get mad when a character doesn't do everything perfectly even though without moments like this the story would be much less effective. There are actual elements to critisise in this, so if you really want to do that then take a few scripwriting classes so that you have some understanding of what you're talking about.
Biggest lump in the throat moment fo us all.
Matt Smith really did a fine job.
"And for my next trick!"
I jump and scream like a girl in that part the first time XD
sparky10142 kind of sucks that he didn't want any part of doctor who after he left the show.. Im sure they would have given him an actual reprisal instead of recycling his old footage
sparky10142 "i didnt know i was left off"
It is a shame he had an issue with the previous producers and he's never wanted to reprise his role. But his non-participation gave the War Doctor an opportunity. In a perfect world, both would have had a real part.

I still remember seeing this in cinema with friends. Capaldi's first entrance of him just death-staring the camera still gives me chills.
I don't think any non Doctor Who fan will appreciate the 'omg' feeling of seeing a Doctor before he has even become the Doctor
What are you talking about, all of this regenerations are the doctor (and if you meant to talk about the war doctor, he is between the doctor 8 & 9, not before 1, google ''the night of the doctor'' if you don't believe me)
...what? I'm simply saying it's unusual for the actor to play the forthcoming doctor to make an appearance (Capaldi) before having his first episode
void375 Sorry, I seem to having misunderstood what you wanted to say. If my comment sounded offensive, it wasn't meant that way(by the way which is your favourite doctor? mine is either Eccelston or tannent, I can't really decide)
ManOfTheWeek596 mine is either tenant or smith
Mines either pertwee or nine or capaldi.

Yeah it checks out.
Avengers got 10 years of development.
Doctor Who has 30 years of active timeline and 50 years of history.
Didn't stand a chance, did it.
Gallifrey falls despite standing. It's like Cadia.
7 years later, Capaldi's line still gives me goosebumps.
This is one of my favorite moments on television. The way they managed to include all the Doctors from the series in a single sequence beautifully encapsulated how far it has come and how timeless it is.
Anyone else sad that The Doctor spent his entire life calculating and it was undone by one season finale?

Technically, there are dozens of things that are calculated by the sonic screwdriver for years and years, like the moment when 3 doctors try to hack a wooden door.

*What it would've been like if Christopher Eccleston had actually turned up in the episode.*
GENERAL: "I didn't know that I was well off! All eleven of them!"
TIMELORD: "No, sir! All Twelve!"
*Peter Capaldi's face*
*The Doctors prepare to save Gallifrey...*
ELEVENTH DOCTOR: "Geronimo!"
TENTH DOCTOR: "Allons-y!"
NINTH DOCTOR: "Just this once! EVERYBODY LIVES!"
Eleventh Doctor: Geronimo!
Tenth Doctor: Allons-y!
Ninth Doctor: (Rolls eyes) Fantastic!
:( stop making me more sad aboot it
***** How about this:11th: Geronimo! 10th: Allons-y! 9th: Fantastic! For once, EVERYBODY LIVES!?
For twice*
lkgrave Tottaly! :).
I love that capaldi is first shown here as the doctor without being obvious
With all due respect, I honestly loved this episode so much and rewatch it constantly.
But I honestly wish Eccleston had come back for it .-.
BROOOOO ME TOOOO THAT WOULD'VE BEEN FANTASTIC!
Same. Even though I haven't watched him all that much I still would've loved to see him.
Olive Eccleston was and is my absolute favorite
@@thewestwind_ Why didn't he? Is there a reason he has such an icy relationship with the Doctor Who universe(s)?
Joseph Mort there was a scheduling conflict that’s the sole reason
I can only imagine the nerdgasm Peter had once the director yelled "cut".
I wanna go back to the moment when I realized that those were the eyes of the soon to be announced Doctor.
I remember watching this live as a watch-party live at 11/23/13 with 14 of my best friends. I bought a big TV-Screen, Popcorn and a new couch especially for this Event. For us this was the biggest event of our lives, we all enjoyed this beautiful Moment and saved it in our hearts.
Unfortunately, almost all of these friendships are broken only one Friend is still with me. So trust in my word if I tell to you: "Keep always fighting for your friends. Staying in touch has never been easier. Just stop thinking and write them a simple *Hi, how are you? I was thinking about us.* and the first step is done."
You never have to be alone, you choose to be alone.
Thank you
Needed this reminder
What a good egg you are. Thank you.
For years he mourned, for years he believed he had killed his people, for years he was filled with regret for the choice he made. For years he has saved countless people, planets, cvilisations and even the universe itself but there was one moment he could never touch. One moment lost to him forever. One people he could never ever save... His own. but here, finally, we see all his incarnations doing what we all believed was impossible - They saved his people, and his planet - Together,
