No pressure, of course, just might be worth checking out! :)
I distinctly remember Karen Gillan's acting after Rory got dusted, Amy became dangerously confident that the family life reality HAD to be the dream because she didn't want to live in a world without Rory. Maybe it was because I was younger, but I remember it hitting me pretty strong.
i also like how that becomes a consisent trait for her. (spoilers for s7) but she literally jumps off a building with him because she'd rather do that and risk dying then be without him, once again. i remember thinking about that parallel and it making their departure even more ut wrenching for 12 year old me.
I remember this episode getting rather mixed reviews at the time of broadcast, so I'm definitely glad it's finally getting all the praise that it rightfully deserves
As great as he'd be I'd rather the Dreamlord remain as his own character. The show can always use more recurring villains on the same level as the Doctor.
I think the dream lord was partially based on the initial plan for the master. There would have been a 3rd doctor episode revealing that the Master was actually the dark reflection of the Doctor.
@@spongemaster It would be hard because the dreamlord is just the doctors mind working against him. But would like a recurring theme of the dr almost fearing their own mind
Two things that i have to say about Amy's Choice: 1) the monster's gas attack was probably supposed to be more of a spit 2) Rory turning to dust was most definitely tamer than the transformation in The Empty Child the cut was probably to save on the effects budget
since the dreamlord is the doctor's inner darknessand all, I think if Toby Jones was also cast as the war doctor, it would be a decent callback. Not dissing John Hurt thoough
This was one of those episodes that always seem to sneak up on me, like The Girl Who Waited and Night Terrors. I'd give it an above average - not a classic but certainly a very good episode. Overall, I like Moffat's stand-alone or two-part episodes more than I do his stories that go on and on then fizzle out. It resembles a very early Hartnell story where some minor malfunction causes them to start losing their minds and losing their trust in each other.

Moffat has always been better at the one offs than the actual long running arcs he has good ideas but little ability to pay them off.
The monsters in this are called the Eknodine, and I can't remember whether the name is ever said on screen. But this is a good episode though. Probably one of my favourites from Series 5.
Anyone else think that this could work as just a stand alone movie or short film, like without the doctor and stuff but just the concept of the episode
The problem with a story like this is that you can only do it once. Also, this episode would've added a lot more tension if it was the final one of the season. You genuinely wouldn't have known if it really was the end of Amy and Rory.
Being 7 or 8 at the time of this episode coming out I ironically remember having a nightmare (or dream) about the old people attacking my house. Didn't watch the episode again for a while after that but it's easily one of my favourite Matt Smith episodes!

He did know. He was teasing her. Plus this was supposed to be the 'foreshadowing Amy's pregnancy' story but had to be rescheduled because of writer issues. I think it works better here, because although as noted the big emotional reveal maybe should have been at the end of Venice, that made more sense as Rory potentially losing Amy, not Amy potentially losing Rory.
I like how in upper leadworth the camera quality drops and the lighting is worse than the tardis dream, it shows how dull and boring leadworth is compared to the tardis and could show Amy's view of both men, Rory is boring but comforting like upper leadworth, the doctor is exciting but dangerous, even the dangers in both dreams reflect this, the old people monsters can be easily avoided, but the cold sun is a force of nature, just like the doctor
At the time I Kind of hoped the dream lord would return. It would allow for more creative episodes. With the direction the show went I’m glad he didn’t return.
I was having fun and now I'm just feeling like crap again because I missed a Q and A talk thing by Toby Jones on Thursday because of two school Zoom calls thing in a row. Can the Drama department just work with the other departments? Just once?
You never know, we might get a series of "Rosa"s and "Haunting of Villa Diodati"s instead of "The Witchfinders"s and "Timeless Children"s. Probably not though.
Just had a thought that Karen Gillan was 21 and Arthur Darvill was about 27; I know age isn't really an issues for pregnancy beyond the legal age stuff. Plus we don't know how old Amy and Rory were in Who-iverse. Guess I'm just over thinking it. 😂😂😂 However one of my favourite Doctor quotes in recent memory is in this episode as a retail worker I find myself saying it quite a lot and it's:- "I don't know but there it is." I always get a lot of people expecting me to have all the answers god knows why. So I can definitely relate to that Doctor aspect. 😂😂
@@GoogleUser-dwcy I wouldn’t trust Let’s Kill Hitler on age. Mel is meant to be their age but regenerated as a child in 1969 (as shown in Day of the Moon), so she should be nearly 20 by the time Amy was born... did she just spend about thirty years not ageing?
This one never really landed with me. Did anyone truely believe for a second that the real version of existence involved 5 years just randomly passing offscreen between episodes?
I dunno. I mean in the 11th hour alone the Doctor missed 12 or 14 years of Amy’s life, I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to think he would have screwed up the time difference again
It would’ve been cooler if instead of the eye monster things didn’t come out of the mouths and it was just the gas instead but then again that would be ripping off Fury from the Deep a bit
"The Doctor suddenly got hired by the ministry of silly walks and ended up in a butcher's shop" That is the single best way I have ever heard this scene described. Absolutely hilarious love it XD (Also don't even try to tell me the Toby Jones wasn't the Master in Disguise Matt Smith never had a master and master's supposed to be mirrors of their doctors e.g Peter Capaldi being Calculated where as Missy is erratic)

It still does
I think it hit me harder as an adult.
i also like how that becomes a consisent trait for her. (spoilers for s7)
but she literally jumps off a building with him because she'd rather do that and risk dying then be without him, once again. i remember thinking about that parallel and it making their departure even more ut wrenching for 12 year old me.
One of the best Smith episodes, imo. Although so many people call it underrated, it's not even really that underrated anymore.
I remember this episode getting rather mixed reviews at the time of broadcast, so I'm definitely glad it's finally getting all the praise that it rightfully deserves
Eh. This is probably my least enjoyed episode. It's not terrible but... I didn't love it. Ok I was just reminded of Vampires in Venice. Never mind...
I sometimes wish Toby Jones would be the master!
As great as he'd be I'd rather the Dreamlord remain as his own character. The show can always use more recurring villains on the same level as the Doctor.
Yes mate
I think the dream lord was partially based on the initial plan for the master. There would have been a 3rd doctor episode revealing that the Master was actually the dark reflection of the Doctor.
He was Kotrice in DE. He plays quite a Mastery role In that
@@spongemaster It would be hard because the dreamlord is just the doctors mind working against him. But would like a recurring theme of the dr almost fearing their own mind
Also known as the one with Toby Jones, pretty much The Valeyard of NuWho and attack of the killer old people.
Out of all the villians to bring back later in the series, the dream lord would be perfect as it could reflect a different doctor like Jodie
Toby Jones is always great.
Two things that i have to say about Amy's Choice:
1) the monster's gas attack was probably supposed to be more of a spit
2) Rory turning to dust was most definitely tamer than the transformation in The Empty Child the cut was probably to save on the effects budget

Granny visits during lockdown...
Amy: WACK HER!
I love the two dreams idea so much. I would say this is one of my favourite Matt Smith episodes and my personal fav from Series 5.
This was one of those episodes that always seem to sneak up on me, like The Girl Who Waited and Night Terrors. I'd give it an above average - not a classic but certainly a very good episode.

Moffat has always been better at the one offs than the actual long running arcs he has good ideas but little ability to pay them off.
the funniest thing about this is that Moffat didn't even write this episode so...
I was wondering last week “what would Harry say about the dream lord”
2021 man I’ve had enough
Toby Jones is one of our finest. He _is_ Smith's Master to me.
The monsters in this are called the Eknodine, and I can't remember whether the name is ever said on screen.
But this is a good episode though. Probably one of my favourites from Series 5.
I completely lost it at 12:11. I love your editing, Harry. Amazing hahahaha
Anyone else think that this could work as just a stand alone movie or short film, like without the doctor and stuff but just the concept of the episode
It's sort of like Hang the DJ from Black Mirror.
Ayy, I'd missed the bloopers at the end, glad they're coming back
“Fairly good” fuck me high praise for a moffat era episode, hope it didn’t hurt too much giving that rating 😭
Boy i love this era
He gave a Chibnall era episode an 8.5/10
@@Lefty7788tinkatolli ew
@@Lefty7788tinkatolli Jesus! Which one?
@ The Judoon one
This one's worth watching just for the line "if we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band."
When their in the campervan, they aren't wearing seatbelts which makes it far more likely they would die, even at 40 mph. Just a neat little detail.
The problem with a story like this is that you can only do it once.
Also, this episode would've added a lot more tension if it was the final one of the season. You genuinely wouldn't have known if it really was the end of Amy and Rory.

episode budgets - season 5 (NW) started the show being shot in HD but with the same budget as the show had pre S4(SD)
"Despite being a doctor" yeah and a dad and grandad but him being a doctor and not knowing is strange
He did know. He was teasing her. Plus this was supposed to be the 'foreshadowing Amy's pregnancy' story but had to be rescheduled because of writer issues. I think it works better here, because although as noted the big emotional reveal maybe should have been at the end of Venice, that made more sense as Rory potentially losing Amy, not Amy potentially losing Rory.
I'm so sick of hearing about Surfshark ... other than that, great video !
To be fair it is a pretty good deal if youre someone in the market for a VPN, $60 for 2 years.
Not only is the doctor a doctor, he's a grandfather. So he should know what a pregnancy is
I like how in upper leadworth the camera quality drops and the lighting is worse than the tardis dream, it shows how dull and boring leadworth is compared to the tardis and could show Amy's view of both men, Rory is boring but comforting like upper leadworth, the doctor is exciting but dangerous, even the dangers in both dreams reflect this, the old people monsters can be easily avoided, but the cold sun is a force of nature, just like the doctor
Rory: Mr. Who. I don't feel so good.
Oh, I can't wait for you to get annoyed at Chibnall.
The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood is too boring to even make me angry, it just sends me to sleep.
It's the first outright bad two-parter of Nu Who.
I honestly have been teaching myself to forget Chibnalls episodes, but they are so boring I forget them anyway
The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood isn't that bad honestly its one of Chibnalls better episodes
@@smash198 well yeah it is
At the time I Kind of hoped the dream lord would return. It would allow for more creative episodes.
With the direction the show went I’m glad he didn’t return.
The Dreamlord was great. I wish we got to see more of him.
definitely top tier episode of S5, and nu who in general
Now I want an Hungry Earth review!
I was having fun and now I'm just feeling like crap again because I missed a Q and A talk thing by Toby Jones on Thursday because of two school Zoom calls thing in a row. Can the Drama department just work with the other departments? Just once?

I hope Harry reviews the new series of doctor who, so I know just how bad it will be.
He said he will.
You never know, we might get a series of "Rosa"s and "Haunting of Villa Diodati"s instead of "The Witchfinders"s and "Timeless Children"s.
Probably not though.
@@TheSmart-CasualGamer So a fairly mediocre run that only would look good because of the shit we got for the two previous seasons?
Toby Jones is a great villain actor. This and sherlock realy got me wanting more
Perfect timing. Been rewatching the smith era after almost a decade and very surprised with the quality of writing and production values.
Just series 5 right?
@@angusmaxim3450 series 6 and 7 have some great concepts and character moments as well. Im noticing the ones written by moffat stand out the most.

The real show 1963 1989 can be seen on Pluto tv. I often tune in for a few minutes when I need a boost. I shears feel better.

This was always one of my top episodes ever! You pointed out a few things I hadn't noticed too, which is great - positive or negative. Keep it up :D
1:24, as far as I'm aware the doctor is not qualified as a medical doctor at all.
Great review again dude!
Don't go too hard on the next two parter though I beg! It's one of the only chibnall stories I actually really like :O
I always thought/hoped that The Dreamlord was a precursor to The Valeyard.
I just dont want him to come avout under Chibnalls run...

Peak Matt Smith
I we saw more of the dream lord
the cgi was kinda poor in this one
It’s ok
Chibnall next hehe
You should totally watch wandavision, the latest episode is AMAZING.
100% recommend
Starts off a bit slow but gets SO good!!
Marvel is bad because it's serial, can't imagine a modern tv show being any less bad.
Yoooo
The way doctor who kinda predicted Wandavision in this episode
Just saying you just opened the door to cover The walking dead on the show ;)
And he said he stopped halfway through the second season because Frank Darabont left (on his discord).
Broadchurch worth a binge? How much did it hurt to give something written by Chris Chibnall praise?
Yes, it SUCKED!!
"The Doctor suddenly got hired by the ministry of silly walks and ended up in a butcher's shop" That is the single best way I have ever heard this scene described. Absolutely hilarious love it XD
(Also don't even try to tell me the Toby Jones wasn't the Master in Disguise Matt Smith never had a master and master's supposed to be mirrors of their doctors e.g Peter Capaldi being Calculated where as Missy is erratic)
Cool
I can't wait for the finale 2 part revieuw!
als PLEASE just jump to a good man goes to war
I LOVE that episode!
I really disliked tgis episode as some of the writing is cringe
Yes it did suck with only a few good parts overall sucked
Bad episode for me.
Why?
Used to love this episode but on rewatch thought it was a bit shit.
Really? You’re gonna criticize the Silurian two parter just because it’s Chibnall? Wow that’s pathetic
8/10? That seems pretty high for his critical you were about it. You usually aren't so generous
