I loved that this is Sylvia's "redemption" which is an RTD thing when there are characters that got a bad rap by fans he does the ol' switeroo. He did it with Jackie and then Mickey and then Donna (alot didnt like her Runaway Bride) and Martha and now Sylvia. This special was awesome
I kept laughing and smiling with you while watching, same as I did when I first watched this episode!! It's so infectious. Glad you had a great time with it!
11:55 I appreciated the way they addressed this - it's a transition for everyone involved and so long as you're trying to understand and show respect, it's okay to falter and ask these kinds of questions. Representing that aspect is refreshing as well.
River and Jack both has sonic guns that could create objects out of sound/ sonic so I imagine the doctors screwdriver could always do stuff like this plus it did have a billions years in the confession dial to upgrade it’s own software
"This fuckers have me crying for no reason!!!!!" and don't you just love it?!!! This episode was so good, it can make the wheels fall of your chair. Amazing! At 1:02:08 I was wondering about that too, but I guess you gave the answer at 1:02:29 Also loved the shocked face when 'Donna not dead' scene happened. "Let's talk about how sexy that Tardis is." is not a sentence you hear every day but totaly hear you. This episode was a feast to watch, ticked all my boxes. Can't wait till you've catched Charlie for some update with Roses finale moments... well, finale ...
The Tardis is sexy, just channelling my inner 11th Doctor! Gonna try and pin him down for two remaining and xmas special in December but it's the hope that kills me!
Just found your channel, and love your completely upfront and BS free review! I find is so intriguing how the 60 seconds of trans content has somehow lead to some people labelling this episode as Doctor Woke (SMH!). I'll admit, of all the specials, this is probably the weakest in my opinion, but it's still an AMAZING episode.
I have some issues about this episode : 1 - Too much wokeness even for a Dr Who episode who always been in advance of it's time 2 - Shitting on Dr Who character by telling him he know nothing and if he was a woman he would know. 3 - have you noticed that it's only the 'white men' who got possessed by the meep? because you can't have a white man to save the day now 4 - A woman in a wheelchair as a good guy but we can't have Devros in his module - hypocrisy i'd say. 5 - The story don't make much sense. The next episode is supposed to introduce the Toy Maker - i have not much hope for that one. If they forget the woke BS it should be good but the BBC teaming up with Disney(who distributing outside UK) for the specials. Making the Doctor look like a moron and being told he know nothing while the women are knowing everything ... a taste of things to come i guess. I guess i'll just have to hope and cross my fingers.
I'm fairly certain the main fella that was mind controlled and had lines was an Asian dude. As for "wokeness" (Hate that term personally, seem's childish) when we all watched Doctor Who originally, our elders were all saying the same thing. We need to adapt to the times or become what we hated as a young viewer; our parents wishing for the olden days to return!
Sorry if i was a bit too rude in my previous comment. Your opinion is as good as mine and you have all the rights to have enjoyed this episode. It wasn't total garbage but it wasn't a masterpiece either. However i've been a fan of Dr Who for more than 30 years now(yeah i know i'm an old timer lol) and even if Dr Who always been a franchise ahead of it's time i don't think denigrating the main character will help the show regain it's uniqueness. Like many Dr Who fans i really hope this nonsense will stop and the writers will start creating good stories like in the old times before this identity politics comes and spoil everything i love. Let's hope for the best.@@MrKakeJelly
@@AnotherGuyV Ohw, didn't know the length of how long you are a Doctor Who fan messure up as more important credentials cause I'm a fan since 1980 and I love the idea of people learning about the unknown, wether it's about things or living creatures or humans who are not like ourselfs, so does this mean I win? Apparantly I do cause I think the show is still great. But also very importantly, I think you are entiteld to your opinion, fair is fair. I hope the show grows (back) on you and if not, keep the good memories of old stories long ago.
I've been a fan of DW all my life. Tom Baker was "my" Doctor (sorry 🙏. Generation X😅😅). The program is now crappola. Shite.😢. It's the entire "woke/trans" thing. This is important (white/mansplaning alert ⚠). The problem is NOT about trans people/gay people etc. I find the idea that nature leaves some people "trans" eminently believable. It gets it wrong all the time. If you believe some people are trans you are pro trans. I believe this - so I'm pro. The problem is that some of 'the woke' actually see 'reason' itself as the enemy. The kind of thinking that has it's roots in ancient Greece and runs through into the enlightenment and modern Western thought. They think it's a form of "toxic masculinity" - through other means. The Doctor has always been a hero and rebel....but grounded in this kind of thanking. This kind of reason This is the real reason "the woke" have - and are.....destroying DW.
@@MrKakeJelly going to be fair and say I did enjoy some of the acting 🎭. Off soapbox now...sorry if I came across a bit preachy. A disadvantage of being I writer - we do go on at times (also special effects were good).
@@MrKakeJelly hopefully. Still always WILLING to like it. The new Doctor is supposed to be a top notch actor. Still think 🤔 that Don Warrington would have been great back in the day.....

I do appreciate RTD for that, he will admit if things didn't work out and try his best to "fix" them.
Meeps are Whoniverse Ewoks (they eat their enemies and make music on the skulls)

So infectious, Doctor Who truly is back!
The fact you've only got 414 subscribers is crazy! Well now you have 415! Awesome reaction!
Hahaha thank you, I appreciate it. Numbers jumped up massively due to this reaction! :)
@@MrKakeJelly Just what you deserve 🥰🥰🥰

Very refreshing, trying your best is still trying your best.
Loved your joy - exactly how I felt! Automatically subscribed 💜💜➕🟦
Yay! Thank you!
Not just the Toymaker - The Celestial Toymaker
Thanks for mentioning Rachel Talalay. She directed my favorite movie the 1995 B classic Tank Girl with Lori Petty
She's brill, so lucky to have her do Who!
I adore that movie and even have the soundtrack!
River and Jack both has sonic guns that could create objects out of sound/ sonic so I imagine the doctors screwdriver could always do stuff like this plus it did have a billions years in the confession dial to upgrade it’s own software
Your reaction is so fun to watch and your commentary is really insightful. Thanks for this! :)
I appreciate the view and comment, my friend!
"I am the Beep of all the Meeps."
The new console room had to have been a rush job - coffee maker but not coffee proof? And not Donna proof!?!
All I am saying is, tea being spilt helped wake the Doctor Up. Coffee being spilt could kill him.
The new Tardis interior is brilliant!!!!
Not fond of the sonic now making shields. I was hoping they'd get away from it becoming too much of a crux device to move the plot forward.
I get what you mean, seems to be able to move the goal posts to whatever meets the stories needs.
Jody was robbed on hte interior of the Tardis - "I don't like it!"
Could have been so much more!
Loved the trans representation, my best friend is going to really appreciate this as a long time fan 🩷🩵🤍🩵🩷
That's lovely to hear. I hope they enjoy it as much as we have! 🥰
"This fuckers have me crying for no reason!!!!!" and don't you just love it?!!!

Don't be upset that they made you cry - I loved the guy too.
I've watched the clip many times since and I still cry each time!
Binary Binary Binary :( yup that destroyed me
We still have Wilf to see, don't expect a dry eye any time soon.
I loved it so I watched it six times and it's still good ❤❤🌈❤❤
Wow, does it get better with each watch ?
@@MrKakeJelly absolutely it does

I think I would agree with you about it not being my favourite but still so good, so enjoyable!
Also, thanks for the kind words! 🤗
I have some issues about this episode :

4 - A woman in a wheelchair as a good guy but we can't have Devros in his module - hypocrisy i'd say.
5 - The story don't make much sense.
The next episode is supposed to introduce the Toy Maker - i have not much hope for that one. If they forget the woke BS it should be good but the BBC teaming up with Disney(who distributing outside UK) for the specials.

Special effects were top notch, as well as the acting. Hopefully the next epside you will prefer! :)
@@MrKakeJelly hopefully. Still always WILLING to like it. The new Doctor is supposed to be a top notch actor. Still think 🤔 that Don Warrington would have been great back in the day.....

Are you serious? It’s full of woke crap!
Always has been babbyyyyyy
@@MrKakeJelly Not when I was young.
@@merlinhotspursexactly. Only in the last few years.
Do we need all the exposition about your channel? how about just getting on with the review which is what we want to see.. not all the BS around it!
Fast forward then you sack of shit
