@@mickys8065 Well the fact that it makes no sense for the Judoon to be there, or the Kudlak guy from the Sarah Jane adventures, or the Silurians. They clearly just used costumes with no regard for where they were from
I used to adore Moffats crazy and confusing writing as a kid because every time I’d watch it today, I’d pick up new things. I didn’t like most of his writing in series 9 and 10 but after Chibnall joined and made the timeless crap, I look back on Moffats bad episodes and realise I took the for granted. I miss Moffat.
@@linkofvev perfect-ish examples. Moffat went from god tier yo kinda dry to one last shebang with the Doctor Falls being god tier. Chibnall is definitely the sequels. So much potential to a whole mess with bad writing. Moffat on the other hand became respected againafter the sequels failed
The Judoon can actually be explained pretty easily. When the Doctor ditched them back at the Shadow Proclamation during the Stolen Earth, he broke several inter-galactic laws by defying the Leader herself directly. Also, the Judoon had an interaction with his associates, Sarah-Jane Smith and the kids, where they also broke several laws of the Shadow Proclamation and were grounded by the Judoon.
Apologies for the lack of new content this month, I took some time off content creation for a week or so to look for a new place to live. I’m moving in a couple of days and the whole process has been pretty stress-inducing. Tomorrow I'll be releaseing my review of "The Big Bang" but if you can’t wait until then it is up on my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/harrysmovingmedia
I’m not surprised the Sycorax would be present. They would probably blame the Doctor for what happened to the ship that invaded Earth, which given that they both couldn’t know it was Harriet Jones who did it and they couldn’t exact revenge on her anyways, is understandable
Eh, I think Series 1 does a good job of setting up all the elements of the finale (The Daleks, Platform 5, etc.) without being overbearing, which I think Series 5 is guilty of to some degree.
Nahh, series 4 is the absolute king of bringing overarching stories together. It's the crossover point of THREE seperate TV shows, and wonderfully incorporates past companions and friends in an almost Avengers style team up. It's just god damn perfection.
I was hoping you would address a gaping flaw in the whole plan of the villains all banding together to lock up the doctor because he's the most feared being in the universe and he would cause then end of the universe.... when just the previous series finale included the daleks helping manufacture the reality bomb that would destroy all of creation and reality and yet the daleks are one of the people within the squad to lock up the doctor because HES too dangerous
Funny you should mention Indiana Jones. If I recall correctly, in the DW Confidential companion to this episode, they actually piped in music from Raiders of The lost Ark while they shot the underhenge scene.
I wanted to say that youre wrong and it has bad episodes, but then i looked at the episode list and the worst when was the worst because it was just "good" not amazing. Vampires of Venice.
this is one episode where the the few flaws are just so minor (like the many unneeded aliens there, i think its just to show the variety of species in the universe that fear the doctor, theyre not supposed to be looked at in finer detail, i think the only one of these aliens that is annoying is the judoon, but because they dont do much its overlooked)
I remember watching this episode the night it aired, I was 12 or so. When the pandorica opened and revealed a chair, I actually burst out laughing, saying "a CHAIR is the most feared thing in the universe!?! That's RIDICULOUS!!!" Then I realized. Electric chairs exist.
Pretty much. Heaven sent was great, but Hell Bent was pretty bad. World enough and time and the doctor falls were the only two I felt followed through the whole way
It always felt like a big popcorn fart when it finally opened. Think it could've been shown a bit better. Miss these days of Doctor Who...when it was good 😄
The alien alliance actually brings about the terrible outcome they had planned to prevent? Sounds like your typical Ancient Greek myth. If only there were some hint at that in the title of the episode....
how did i not realise the kudlac guy from the sarah jane adventures was there 😂 also i still don’t understand why the judoon were there especially as they join the doctor in the battle at demons run
Please tell me your thoughts after reading I feel like it doesn’t work as an episode and would work better as a series That way it could be written so something was inside, maybe Sutekh, Omega or Zagraus? And it would be good to see more aliens. You could have maybe 5 aliens or stories per episode? Hell even bring back other companions, Susan, Martha, Lucie Miller, Romana? Obviously to explain it maybe have them as some point in their early timeline in their first few stories. For example: 1 episode could have 5 stories Story 1: explores the paradigm daleks Story 2: Lucie Miller and the 8th doctor are in the TARDIS and get the signal and investigate Story 3: Shoes an episode with Omega or Zagraus or Sutekh and then being inprisoned, maybe as a a red herring? Story 4: explores the alliance being formed and new aliens. Story 5: shows how it links into series 5. Then that sort of format Each episode for 5 episodes If you don’t want the 11th Doctor then do it as a spin off with past doctors/ companions or maybe even UNIT to lead into the finale so it can give fan service to classic fans, big finish fans, spin off fans (including the Australian “k9” spin off) and even reboot fans It would also be great for series 5 publicity And could really introduce Kate/Brigider as a family due to it being filmed in 2009. If we got it as a spin off it would run so much better, provide fan service, raise publicity, could even be on the series 5 dvd/ get its own. Picture this: It’s Saturday night 2010, Amy’s choice has just finished, and episode 1/5 of “Pandorica tales” begins. Please let me know your thoughts.
The alien crowd scene was a bit annoying. They just chucked in the races you'd recognise for the close ups and filled in the gaps with costumes from single episodes or the spin off series. Not a single thought towards whether some of them would actually be with the doctor and not against. But that is my only gripe with this episode, it's quite good.
I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE... That they gave the wrong sound effect to the Autons Gunhand firing and it completely ruined the moment when Rory shot Amy for me! They gave it some generic laser blast sound effect that sounds nothing like how it's supposed to!
Despite the good points. This episode makes no sense. Daleks: I want to see you become like me. Hail the Doctor, the greater Exterminator! Daleks: You propose an alliance? Request denied! Daleks: The Tardis is a weapon and it will be destroyed! Daleks: We will destroy reality itself! Also Daleks: Oh no. The Doctor is going to *destroy the Tardis* and be *the greater exterminator* of *Reality itself!* We must form *an alliance* to stop *him becoming like us!* Emperor: Those words are not part of my design! Davros: These pure Daleks are useless. R2D2 has more kills than them.
Harry, do you like the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit? ( know that the Hobbit is the best trilogy of all time but they're so fun!) If so, which is your favorite movie? Can't wait to watch the video!
As fun and slick as this finale was, I find it hard to enjoy a show where the plot completely breaks down if you think about it for two minutes. Also, the dismembered Cyberman and "first words" part were extremely lame.
While I admire Moffat's talent, I am not a big fan of his tendency to throw everything including the kitchen sink into some of his stories. It feels more like him pointing to himself and saying "Look how clever I am!" rather then just giving us a good story. Not that I don't like some of The Pandorica Opens and its second part, but it was about this time I started missing the more simple Davies years. Still, overall, the Moffat/Matt Smith years were worth watching.
I wouldn't worry about all the aliens that appear outside the pandorica.... The Doctor is hundreds of years old and have encountered many races in books, TV, audio dramas and stories left untold.

Bro pleaasseee review the 50th anniversary 😭
Moffat loved writing himself back into a corner back then, still way better than today's writing
Well said mate
Oh my god I'd never actually looked at that crowd shot of aliens before, clearly someone in the costume department forgot about continuity.
BBC BUDGET BABY
I hope someone got fired over THAT blunder! [snort]
What continuity error?
@@mickys8065 Well the fact that it makes no sense for the Judoon to be there, or the Kudlak guy from the Sarah Jane adventures, or the Silurians. They clearly just used costumes with no regard for where they were from

"look at me ima target!" that has me wheezing every time I rewatch this episode

In terms of over arching story structure I definitely think series 5 does this the best.
Personally gotta say series 1 and then series 5 2nd
The beating over the head by that damned crack appearing in almost every single episode begs to differ.
Eh, I think Series 1 does a good job of setting up all the elements of the finale (The Daleks, Platform 5, etc.) without being overbearing, which I think Series 5 is guilty of to some degree.

Definitely a hugely underrated episode.
I'll be honest, I never noticed the fish guy until now 😂
Or General Kudlack lol.
@RedFox same!
I love that they’re placed together, two aliens originating from the spin offs in the main show and standing next to each other !
*raises hand*
"Yes, it's a word."
*lowers hand sheepishly*
Honestly series 5 was almost perfect its got a great opener and a great finale, i would dare say it doesn't have a single bad episode in it
I wanted to say that youre wrong and it has bad episodes, but then i looked at the episode list and the worst when was the worst because it was just "good" not amazing. Vampires of Venice.
@@zeallust8542 my point is there's no love and monsters or lazarus experment nothing truly terrible
I hate the Angels Two-Parter, and am not too keen on The Vampires of Venice or The Lodger, but the rest is pretty good.
@@ontos8914 I know, im agreeing with you lol.
Vampires of Venice and the silurian two parter are pretty bad. And I'm one of the few people who didn't like the angel two parter.
this is one episode where the the few flaws are just so minor (like the many unneeded aliens there, i think its just to show the variety of species in the universe that fear the doctor, theyre not supposed to be looked at in finer detail, i think the only one of these aliens that is annoying is the judoon, but because they dont do much its overlooked)
9:08 I assume the doctor has some kind of cloaking so the tardis can't be detected by scanners
This will forever be one of my favourite stories also damn the fact that rory waited that long for amy really set my relationship standards high
I remember watching this episode the night it aired, I was 12 or so. When the pandorica opened and revealed a chair, I actually burst out laughing, saying "a CHAIR is the most feared thing in the universe!?! That's RIDICULOUS!!!"
Then I realized.
Electric chairs exist.
Well to be fair, a fucking wooden box is the second most feared thing in the universe
Sadly a story that very much falls into the trap of every other Moffat finale. Great first half, Lacklustre second.
That's the thing. It's easy to start a story, but it's extremely hard to end.
what second?
I actually like the Big Bang 😳
@@dino0000_ same tbh I don’t think it’s a bad episode
Pretty much. Heaven sent was great, but Hell Bent was pretty bad. World enough and time and the doctor falls were the only two I felt followed through the whole way
Probably my 1st or 2nd favourite Moffat finally
The Juddooon make sense, as they think it's the Doctor's fault the TARDIS explodes, hence the damage that would be caused by it.
It always felt like a big popcorn fart when it finally opened. Think it could've been shown a bit better. Miss these days of Doctor Who...when it was good 😄
7:26 Ha! He said it!
The alien alliance actually brings about the terrible outcome they had planned to prevent? Sounds like your typical Ancient Greek myth.
If only there were some hint at that in the title of the episode....
Classic Greek drama at its best. It's all about self fulfilling prophesies.
My favourite series arc and one of my favourite and most enjoyable episodes of Doctor who as a whole
Last time i was this early, doctor who was still watchable.
It still is, streamed on Amazon Prime though..
how did i not realise the kudlac guy from the sarah jane adventures was there 😂 also i still don’t understand why the judoon were there especially as they join the doctor in the battle at demons run
Fun fact: they are not shown but in the episode but there are pictures of the weevils from torchwood in the alliance lol
Will you ever review Torchwood: Children of Earth?
I think its a crying shame that the vampires from the episode the Vampires of Venice where not the unseen Haemogoth's a part of the alliance
Please tell me your thoughts after reading
I feel like it doesn’t work as an episode and would work better as a series
That way it could be written so something was inside, maybe Sutekh, Omega or Zagraus?
And it would be good to see more aliens.
You could have maybe 5 aliens or stories per episode?
Hell even bring back other companions,
Susan, Martha, Lucie Miller, Romana?
Obviously to explain it maybe have them as some point in their early timeline in their first few stories.
For example:
1 episode could have 5 stories
Story 1: explores the paradigm daleks
Story 2: Lucie Miller and the 8th doctor are in the TARDIS and get the signal and investigate
Story 3: Shoes an episode with Omega or Zagraus or Sutekh and then being inprisoned, maybe as a a red herring?
Story 4: explores the alliance being formed and new aliens.
Story 5: shows how it links into series 5.
Then that sort of format Each episode for 5 episodes
If you don’t want the 11th Doctor then do it as a spin off with past doctors/ companions or maybe even UNIT to lead into the finale so it can give fan service to classic fans, big finish fans, spin off fans (including the Australian “k9” spin off) and even reboot fans
It would also be great for series 5 publicity
And could really introduce Kate/Brigider as a family due to it being filmed in 2009.
If we got it as a spin off it would run so much better, provide fan service, raise publicity, could even be on the series 5 dvd/ get its own.
Picture this:
It’s Saturday night 2010, Amy’s choice has just finished, and episode 1/5 of “Pandorica tales” begins.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Are they the best finale episodes?
But are they still very special and clever to me?
Definitely:)
I’ve gotta say, my favourite has to be either Doomsday or Journeys end, but I do still love these.
It's moffats best finale other than mondasian cyberman two-parter but that's not saying much
Even the weevils show up from torchwood 😂🙌🏻
It was in my opinion the greatest cliff hanger in season 5
Great story great review
One of my favourite episodes tbh
The alien crowd scene was a bit annoying. They just chucked in the races you'd recognise for the close ups and filled in the gaps with costumes from single episodes or the spin off series. Not a single thought towards whether some of them would actually be with the doctor and not against. But that is my only gripe with this episode, it's quite good.
I'd love to see you review classic who
I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE... That they gave the wrong sound effect to the Autons Gunhand firing and it completely ruined the moment when Rory shot Amy for me!
They gave it some generic laser blast sound effect that sounds nothing like how it's supposed to!
Maybe they lobbed all the sound effects from the Davies era in the bin by this point to reinforce the "new era" thing.
What episode is at 1:50?
Despite the good points.
This episode makes no sense.
Daleks: I want to see you become like me. Hail the Doctor, the greater Exterminator!
Daleks: You propose an alliance? Request denied!
Daleks: The Tardis is a weapon and it will be destroyed!
Daleks: We will destroy reality itself!
Also Daleks: Oh no. The Doctor is going to *destroy the Tardis* and be *the greater exterminator* of *Reality itself!* We must form *an alliance* to stop *him becoming like us!*
Emperor: Those words are not part of my design!
Davros: These pure Daleks are useless. R2D2 has more kills than them.
Largest set? It seemed like CGI too. It didn't feel like a very big set. The whole episode feels a bit claustrophobic
Most people would disagree but I actually think part 2 is better than part 1
Heaven Sent redux review, like here.
Harry, do you like the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit? ( know that the Hobbit is the best trilogy of all time but they're so fun!) If so, which is your favorite movie? Can't wait to watch the video!

I loved it, but I get want you say
Bibble Bobble blombo blibib blib blop
Hey man #notallcocainefish
Coulda just been another member of his species, same with the laser tag child catcher 🤷♂️
The ending of this episode is so epic then the next part retcons everything it is so cheap and lazy.
I wouldn't worry about all the aliens that appear outside the pandorica.... The Doctor is hundreds of years old and have encountered many races in books, TV, audio dramas and stories left untold.
Eeee
