Original Series: Doctor Who (2005)
"Are you my Mummy?"
Best callback ever!
Caught the Avanti here just now after watching this episode several times before... it is Italian and means roughly the same as Allons-y (French). The Doctor definitely used it on purpose to judge Martha's reaction.
“Back of the neck … But it's Sontaran shaped, you need three fingers … You've got three fingers … Oh, yeah.”
LOVE that 'Back of the Neck!' line!
Why so emotional? Because Bernard Cribbins was a national treasure, that's why.
As a British kid of the 70s he's a national treasure!
Right up to that final,all too brief,appearance...😢🎩
International Treasure, Thank you very much.
It is an honor that I got to share a planet with Him.
I could be mistaken, but I believe the "Are you my mummy?" callback was actually an ad lib by Davud Tennant.
No it was scripted
I think Luke choosing to sacrifice himself to save Earth is interesting because psychologically, you could look at it from different angles. It's him at his lowest because he feels like there's nothing for him left. It's him realizing that he lost his moral compass just because he wanted to belong with the Sontarans. It's him realizing the Sontarans, in the end, were never his friends, and that they are just monsters who want to destroy humanity as a whole, including himself. It's him connecting back with his moral compass and thinking that all of this was his fault, and that he should do something to rectify that. It's him realizing that, if someone has to die, since it's his fault, then that person should be himself.
But the most ironic one, I think, is that there is a possibility the Sontarans rubbed off on him. In a way, choosing to die to save Earth and to save the Doctor... is kind of a glorious death. Which means that there is maybe a small part of Luke choosing to sacrifice himself to destroy the Sontaran ship... because the Sontarans taught him about the glory of dying in battle. Which would mean the Sontaran Stratagem backfired in a way they didn't expect.
Also, I'd like to think the Sontarans respected Luke in the end for choosing to do that, because unlike Daleks, Sontarans can at least admire bravery in other species.
"Ratigan, don't be a brat again"😀
4:36 the close-up is partly due to UK broadcasting regulations about "news" shows being depicted within fictional settings. The regulations ensure such content cannot be mistaken for a real news programme/channel appearing on the device. The typical way UK shows get around this is to show wider setting, like a TV set within a room (with or without people watching) but this extreme zoom-in on the screen, to the extent that the individual pixels or horizontal lines are clearly visible, is a way of mixing that up while still being clear that it is not a real news broadcast.
I think Wilf knew, when he said goodbye to Donna, that she may not come back.
Thank you for double release!
Martha AND Donna! AAAAND David Tennant as Ten. Who else misses when Dr Who was THIS GOOD? 😊 Can’t wait for the next reaction, Chris!
This next run of episodes are some of my personal favorite. Really enjoying rewatching with you!
9:12 When all Whovians saw the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier in The Avengers Movie in Cinemas 2012, the Real OGs shouted: "IT'S THE VALIANT!"
It's endearing to see my home town represented by Margam Castle as the Rattigan Academy.
No, theres no female sontarans. It was mentioned in the last episode that they are all male clones created for war
Or, at least, there are no female Sontarans ANYMORE. They went the same way as the original male Sontarans once the war clones took over.
I'm pretty sure sex and gender are unknown to them, i've checked the transcript and i can't find where they talked about a "male clone race".
@@Connor-ONeill Yeah, that seems like a good conclusion to make. Because they had to have come from somewhere, right?
I wonder how different the originals were to the clones.
They were cloned from someone. There had to be a time when their original species were not clones. But they have no memory of it.
I remember somewhere hearing that Strax was a female (which fit with the rest of the team being female). However, I don't remember WHERE I got that notion.
Loving Martha's desperation to go home right at the end. She wants to get back to her regular life and Tom.
Tom... Lucifer... He is known by many names. ;-]
@@robertcartier5088 Funny how so many people went to the underworld after this show.
@@HuntingViolets Oh? Who else? :-)
@@HuntingViolets oh, wait... Yes, I get it now ... I still haven't watched that one! I'll get to it eventually. 👍
She doesn't stay with Tom anyway
I love watching your joyous enthusiasm 😄 its so contagious!
your reaction to are you my mummy just made my week
8:53 that joke always gets to me. I think it was off script but they kept it in the episode 😂
Bro I am always in a emotional roller coaster when I rewat h S4, on one hand the season is PEAK Dr Who, but the second half of the Season and especially the Finale, brutal stuff gonna be funny watching it again😂
Brutal is so accurate.
Jacqueline King, who plays Donna's mom, was constantly apologizing to Catherine Tate for being so mean. 😊
That makes me happy.
Thank you for posting this episode right after the tiger one 😁 you’re awesome !
Grandad For the win!!!!! Good old Bernard Cribbins!
Where are we going next......?
12:09 i got the chance to meet Dan Starkey at a convention and asked him that same question. He said something about them being genetically enginereed. Im not sure if he really knew or if he just guessed that in a way to entertain my question
Double drop! 😁
I didnt like this 2 parter back when it first aired for some reason, but it's not bad at all really
Uh I just realize... If the atmosphere was ablaze for a few seconds what happened to the planes in the sky or the animals???? 😂😂😂
Oh that’s a great point. It was a great moment for the world, but a horrific moment for many individuals and communities for sure.
Supposedly there WERE women on Sontar - we don't know if there still are natural Sontarans.
The non-BBC depiction of the Sontarans (original episode writer IP) have SPECKLED heads of yellow with black patches - so the originals may look like that. Interesting how it mirrors camouflage.
So glad that we are here.
Look I'm just saying, the second Unit had functional guns they folded the Sontarans like paper
The Rootans who the Sontarans have been at war with only appeared once in Classic Who, the Season 15 (4th Doctor/Tom Baker) premier The Horror of Fang Rock and despite their history of with each other we never actually got to see them in the same story 😔
Btw so that you know episode 12 the Stolen Earth takes place before the SJA episode The Lost Boy.
Uh, I don't know where you heard that, but it's not true, "The Lost Boy" aired 8 months before "The Stolen Earth" and there's nothing to suggest the stories were aired out of chronological order.
@@Zomdra Since we shall not be spoiling anything, I will say this, check the Stolen Earth and see the appearance of Mr. Smith. His visuals are pre The Lost Boy.
@@christianfrost8660 Seriously, that's all you're basing this on? Isn't it much more likely that that's just a very minor production oversight rather than an intentional restructuring of the two shows' chronology? That's what every source I've ever seen seems to think. I guess it doesn't really matter which takes place first, since neither story directly references the other anyway.
@@Zomdra They also reference the events of Revenge of the Slitheen. Indicating that The Stolen Earth takes place somewhere within that period.
Maybe it was a continuity error but more likely it takes place just after Revenge of the Slitheen.
Btw if you are trying to win an arguement you have started for no good reason don't make a point of saying that "every source" agrees with your point of view because that doesn't take into account the possibility that the whole world is wrong. When the majority of people say something is correct it becomes accepted that it is correct regardless of whether it was or wasn't. If every source you have ever come across has stated that this is a continuity error then I say that they are all wrong.
The original Sontaran story from classic Who had a line where one of them sees a woman for the first time (might even be Sarah Jane) and says "you have a binary reproductive system. That's inefficient, you should change it". They are a clone race, so they were originally just confused about why there appears to be two types of human. I'm not sure how that translates into straight up sexist comments in this episode though.
There are future episodes where something different is done with the concept that the Sontarans are unfamiliar with sexual dimorphism because they don't have it themselves.
This is still the best season for me. The season finale is the best season finale❤
1:19 THE OLD SHOW KNOWS: No, there are no Sontarran females, not anymore at least. Sontarrans are all clones of their greatest warrior(s) and military leader(s). Batches of clones may end up looking "slightly" different due to variation, but successful batches are cloned again. They may have slightly different thoughts or opinions later if they live long enough (LOTS OF BATTLEFIELD PROMOTIONS). This is not exactly discouraged as a new "strategem", if successful, will be added to their playbook. Their need for clones is they have been fighting The Rutans (another old show monster) for thousands of years. Natural reproduction is just slow.
Absolutely no spoilers for the next episode, but it is yet again one of the best of this series, which is one of the best of New Who.
Episode 8 & 9 for me. Best of the series.
@@johnnym7575 absolutely!
I don't think you have to worry about spoilers. According to the description talking about his Patreon, he's months ahead already, so he saw it ages ago.
@@ms_scribbles I'm aware. But a some people watching the reactions haven't seen the show themselves yet.
It’s personally one of my least favorites, but I guess I can see why some people would really like it.
If the Earth were brown/gray in the atmosphere, that's really really too many gases other than N2 or O2.
Oh god, the next episode. I hope you brought tissues when you watched it.
Colonel was right to ignore the doctor, the doctor was projecting his own ptsd from the time war on to Unit, the doctor was a solider during the time war he killed more then we can count and he hates it, so he became antagonistic to Colonel and was getting in the way, but it our planet not his, and unit has the right to defend it,( Brigadier from classic who would have done the same) and ignoring the doctor worked Unit did take back the warehouse and put the Sontaran on the backfoot ultimately allowing the doctor to stop them
I might be in the minority (I do not know), but I really enjoyed the next episode.
Judging by the comments a lot of people really like it. Personally it’s my least favourite of the season but imo it’s still not bad
✋
I think there are no female Sontarans. They are all cloned
