That was powerful and awesome. The Doctor was caught off guard. Both him and Donna were caught in a cross fire. Their histories being exposed; their secret resumes on display.
This was arguably one of the scariest scenes of the entire series. No aliens, no tricksters, but just the Doctor utterly bewildered, not in a funny way, but obviously internally terrified. Space travel hadn't even been considered then, but he's being told about his planet, his home, and things that they shouldn't even understand. There's no scientific reason he can see, no aliens that are hiding. The Doctor with no fight or argument, rational or irrational, is more terrifying than anything. He has no plan, not even the makings of a plan or response, just utter confusion.
Indi Heaton I thoroughly disagree, the episode midnight has all the confusion and fear to an even extremes level, plus the monster never in doctor who history has ever been found out, it was a silent episode needing no dramatic music... it makes this look like a kids show, if you haven’t watched it do! I’ve watched it dozens, the way the creature learns and possesses even the Doctor is truly frightening and the fact that we never figure what it can do, even more so. The only monster that the Doctor has no clue of existing. All in one small room.
Doctor Who is always, and has always been at its best when it has a Twilight Zone quality to it. That's what makes this scene so excellent and what makes "Midnight" one the greatest Who episodes ever.
Are you stupid? The mother of the sibiline sisterhood is alien in nature (pirovile) so of course the prophecies and understanding showed here is alien in origin even if lucius and evelina are human
@@eternalbyzantium262 No, so I obviously phrased it wrong. I meant, there's been nothing suspicious or overly wrong that appears even vaguely alien in nature. It's just humans being... terrifying. Obviously, afterwards, yes, we find out aliens have taken over Pompeii, but at this point, just humans being freaky.
Also strange to see Karen Gillan in this episode. The episode worked as a strong audition tape! Be interested now to see them at the table doing the read-through.
The writing and small details of this scene was so masterful and foreshadowing, The fact that Lucius was able to easily identify the Doctor's homeworld but took a pause to determine London because the Pyroviles would know of Gallifrey before they crashed and connected with the Romans in Pompeii and so have heard of it but at that time London was known as Londinium and wouldn't be known as 'London' for a very long-time so Lucius connected to the Pyroviles had to literally scan an entire time stream to connect to Donna's time and a completely foreign place (London not Londinium) to know where she was from hence the pause he took, scanned the time stream in a few seconds.
@@AdalHRivera yeah and the ood ep when they sing for the doctordonna and we all assumed they meant them both and how thr doctor donna would never be forgotten and them and their children and their childrens children would sing of her and like damn if i wasnt bawling when i first saw the ep now i just think about the scene and how much more gravity has after we know the true meaning and its like hysterically sobbing haha. I love the magic of the old series though i felt like it had a lot of easter egg type foreshadowing to i mean even they reference this when capaldi becomes dr and like other repeat actors and the rose and thorn pub and bad wolf of course it felt so throughly well done and considered. Like theres so many of those things and while moffat did do that with some things like melody pond being river song translation etc and all that it never felt as interwoven and across time type stuff as the previous doctors ones all had.
3:32 I love that sandwiched into the visions, hinting at Turn Left. When i rewatched it I was wide eyed since it’s such a throwaway line until you see Turn Left where everyone is obsessed with looking behind Donna at the time beatle. Gosh these seasons were frickin top tier
Was a thing RTD liked to do ever since season 1 with bad wolf being mentioned throughout the season, I would expect such things to come back in the next few seasons with RTD back, only lets see if we can notice them before the finale is revealed
The film technique when Lucius says ‘doctor, she is returning… and you, daughter of London, there is something on your back!’ is only secondary to the building climactic music… one of the best pieces of film work in the entire show… hands down!
"Daughter of... (long pause) London..." He was able to figure out where the Doctor is from so easily, yet figuring out where another Earthling lives took him so long...
Well that's the thing, Gallifrey was known to the Pyroviles before they crashed in ancient Pompeii, London wasn't called London until the 5th Century AD, this is 79AD, it would be known as Londinium to them.
Have an idea also that if you see something completely FOREIGN you can then accept and trust an idea about it fairly quickly/easily. However, if you're shown, told, etc. something about something you already feel you comprehend or know or are closer to... It then takes more effort and thus more time to consider and put into perspective with your preconceptions (previous ideas and notions about the thing). Just a conceptual idea put into practise, but still it is largely assumed.
Lucius’ speech was so surprising, but Evelina gave me goosebumps. The beautifully tragic and dramatic way she described the doctors life in such a short sentence is beyond extraordinary.
I Understand Turn Left now... "There is something on your back" meaning the bug on Donna's back.... "She is returning" meaning rose... They prophisized The final 3 episodes of this series... :D Neat.
Lucius said to Donna: there’s something on your back; meaning the bug thing on her back in ‘turn left’ ‘series 4’ Lucius also said: “she is returning”meaning that Rose Tyler is coming back
This scene was brilliant! Lucius and Evelina spouting off things they could not possibly know. The Doctor's had experience with seers/telepaths before (like Gwyneth in The Unquiet Dead), but this is on a whole new level. And I *love* that Lucius offers a hint at what is still to come for both of them - for the Doctor, it's the return of Rose, and for Donna it's her upcoming experience with the beetle that will make itself at home on her back. *squicks* Very well done!
This scene is so good, Peter is underused here though (which is probably a good thing, he is my favorite doctor and if he were more prominent he likely wouldn't have gotten cast) but he really pulls some 12 comedic timing with "He's Celtic".
Loved Peter Capaldi. From his season's trailer, I thought he would do more to make up for the mistakes of his past. Certainly dealing with Davros as both a child and when he's dying was as close as he could come in that regard. Also, was glad to find another example in the running gag of them speaking a Latin phrase ("status quo") and the locals hearing it as Celtic (Welsh).
“And you you call yourself noble, And you daughter of London” my god this is scary two sides of the same prophecy just interpreted with the gift both women and men had perception
this is what i love about the writers that wrote the scripts for doctors 9 to 12, everything was connected and the story was all integrated, even across regenerations, that is sadly not present in the 13th doctor, she is an entertaining actor but she has been let down by the script.
New headcannon: The Doctor needed a rebound from Clara so he started a family in Pompeii and when his younger self stepped in, he was like, "Oh, I remember being you. This is gonna be funny when you look back on it. "
He said in an episode that he finally remembered seeing his face before. Perhaps it was a reminder to always try to save someone he meets. He gets a little dark and callous in the "Mummy on the Orient Express" such that a survivor doesn't take him up on the offer to travel with them.
I have another theory During Tennant's and Ecclestons Tardises the inside of them the round things on the wall are what you would see on the inside of the Daleks Armor ( the balls) I'm not disputing the history But Davros created the Daleks. He "regenerates" them from his body, he's a genius. We've seen other Dr's with the Dr. (Tennant, Davidson, matt smith) so he can be in the same times, he can't kill Davros its s paradox, its the evil version of the Dr. The Doctors name is Davros, the fires if Pompeii "your name burns in the centre of the Medusa cascade itself" then Davros and the Daleks were there. I'll always think this.
Anyone know the name of the music that is playing while the 2 soothsayers are having their little contest? Especially the part that plays just as Lucius tells the Doctor 'she is returning'.
Chib's run is it's own separate thing. New Who is from 9-12. And now, we're getting a soft reboot for Disney's New Who from 14-15. Ironic that 13 is unlucky.
1:21 I don't think I caught Tennant's derisive expression after Lucius spouts more pompous word salad the first time I watched this episode. Brilliant.
obviously unintentional but he uses the word "lost" in fire not destroyed, burned or gone but lost. Given what we know now everything he said was 100% accurate.
+A name is but a cloud upon a summer wind -But the wind is felt most keenly in the dark +But what is the dark other than a omen of the sun - I concede that every sun must set, and yet the son of the father must also rise
Little thing I picked up on - Just about each time one of the 'soothsayers' said something about the Doctor and Donna, it was usually preceded with a rumble. That rumble is a Pyrovile from underneath saying what they know about them.
Eve was much more believable as what a real seer would be like. Lucifer talks as though he knows things he shouldn't. He shouldn't even know what gallafra is let alone know it's name. Same with knowing London.
3:20 Now I know it's probably about Rose, but my interpretation is something I want to throw out there. Since Lucius was literally talking about Gallifrey to the Doctor right before ("Your home is lost in fire"), I think that's the "she" he's referring to. Conversationally, it makes sense. Lucius talks to the Doctor about Gallifrey, talks to Donna, answers her question, and continues the conversation in the same spot. Like if you and someone were at a restaurant and then interrupted by the waitstaff asking if you want a refill of water and they asked where you got your earrings. Respond, answer their questions, and get back to the conversation at hand.
I don't go for the whole "psychic" but there as one in my town ... I said I'd believe her if you came running out in traffic as I waited at the light and then she gives me a prophecy ... she never came out and I passed thta place nearly every day ... LOL

Just for a second, before Tennant wandered in, I forgot that Capaldi wasn't the Doctor. How idiotic...
Okay but same, when I heard his voice I was like 'I thought this was a tenth doctor episode'
🤔SameHere
Yes, its strange to see Peter here!
Also strange to see Karen Gillan in this episode. The episode worked as a strong audition tape! Be interested now to see them at the table doing the read-through.
plot twist, that was he 12th doctor that went back in time to laugh at sand shoes behind his back
Yess
12: *chuckles*
10: what?
12: *just starts laughing, confusing everyone*
10: what??
12: you’ll understand when you’re older
10: …what.
The chills from 2:30 onwards... "Man from Gallifrey"
Epic episode overall.
And the music during that part.
"Damn, very clever sir" - polite way of saying bollocks I underestimated you...
He did say damn? I thought I misheard.
What I love about that exchange was when Capaldi excused Tennant with this gem: "he's Celtic". 😆
The writing and small details of this scene was so masterful and foreshadowing, The fact that Lucius was able to easily identify the Doctor's homeworld but took a pause to determine London because the Pyroviles would know of Gallifrey before they crashed and connected with the Romans in Pompeii and so have heard of it but at that time London was known as Londinium and wouldn't be known as 'London' for a very long-time so Lucius connected to the Pyroviles had to literally scan an entire time stream to connect to Donna's time and a completely foreign place (London not Londinium) to know where she was from hence the pause he took, scanned the time stream in a few seconds.
He may have said "Londoninium" but the Tardis translated it to London.
"Must excuse my friend shes from...Barcelona.."Nine is crying in his grave, he never got to go Barcelona with Rose..
Nines grave is nothing more than the doctors old memories.
Wow! I just realised he said to Donna, "there's something on your back"
CaruCath97 oh no not the episode with that bug thing, that creeped me out so much
The fact that this soothsaying came way before that bug episode gives this such replay value
Not to mention he said "She is returning." Meaning Rose was coming back.
Cascade of Medusa herself meaning the medusa cascade
@@AdalHRivera yeah and the ood ep when they sing for the doctordonna and we all assumed they meant them both and how thr doctor donna would never be forgotten and them and their children and their childrens children would sing of her and like damn if i wasnt bawling when i first saw the ep now i just think about the scene and how much more gravity has after we know the true meaning and its like hysterically sobbing haha.

3:32 I love that sandwiched into the visions, hinting at Turn Left.
When i rewatched it I was wide eyed since it’s such a throwaway line until you see Turn Left where everyone is obsessed with looking behind Donna at the time beatle.
Gosh these seasons were frickin top tier
Yes, story arcs were presented multiple times and they were brilliant.
What?
Was a thing RTD liked to do ever since season 1 with bad wolf being mentioned throughout the season, I would expect such things to come back in the next few seasons with RTD back, only lets see if we can notice them before the finale is revealed
"Turn Left" was a great episode too. I didn't realize they referred to it until I read about the episode today, just before seeing this clip.
The film technique when Lucius says ‘doctor, she is returning… and you, daughter of London, there is something on your back!’ is only secondary to the building climactic music… one of the best pieces of film work in the entire show… hands down!
Looking forward to seeing those two return soon in the latest Doctor Who.
"Daughter of... (long pause) London..."
He was able to figure out where the Doctor is from so easily, yet figuring out where another Earthling lives took him so long...

Johnny Li Londinium (London) wasn’t exactly important to the Roman Empire
Yea, took some time tuning the antenna back to local station.😂😂😂

3:21-3:32 OMG the chills! I hadn't realised that he was talking about Rose and then about the bug xO
"He's Celtic."
LOL
Wenli the Bro "she's from Barcelona" LMAO
This is probably my favourite scene in all of Doctor Who
mine too, right after "the empty child"
Up there for me
12th Doctor: What are you doing? How many times must I tell myself, no crossing timelines! Amy: Helloooooo! 10: How did she get here?!
Hey, I know this philosopher! Hunderds years later he worked as a taxi-driver in London and was killed by John Watson O.o
HA!
That's how he could tell which pill was the poisonous one...
haha sherlock reference nice
Welcome to the BBC...we only employ half a dozen actors.
Damn excellent episode from a great series - David Tennant and Peter capaldi in one scene superb
Plus Karen Gillan on deck. Top notch writing, an excellent scenario, and a companion more than equal to the Doctor.
1:33 "Where was I? Oh... that's right... Barcelona!"
I Understand Turn Left now...
"There is something on your back" meaning the bug on Donna's back....
"She is returning" meaning rose... They prophisized The final 3 episodes of this series... :D Neat.
They also throughout the series mentioned losing planets.
Yeah that’s pretty obvious....
You could even argue that he meant Gallifrey. He did just talk about it with the Doctor.
@@crispysquidoftheacidcats295 im convinced that "the bees are disappearing" is meant to be a euphemism for "the stars are going out"
honestly impressive that Lucius could see the events of an enclosed, alternate timeline
Lucius said to Donna: there’s something on your back; meaning the bug thing on her back in ‘turn left’ ‘series 4’
Lucius also said: “she is returning”meaning that Rose Tyler is coming back
"she is returning" could also mean that Gallifrey is coming back.
Which it did.
No shit Sherlock 😂 think we all got that
This episode is a fixed point in time. The 12th Doctor is born from this episode.
One of my favorite scenes of all time. So rare to see the doctor genuinely unnerved by something. Brilliant.
Man this was one of those episode where I genuinely got chills hearing the Doctor get outmatched
Exactly
This is one of the best scenes in over 50 years of doctor who....brilliant
my latin teacher is a MasSivE nerd and she keeps making references to this it’s great 👌

This is one of the best scenes ever in doctor who, gives me goose bumbs everytime... It's brilliant
oh hello there Capaldi xD
"Doctor, she's returning."
This sentence always gives me goosebumps
this scene was awesome how they knew about the doctor and all.
plus the hint towards the future episode of turn left.
and end of time, with comment of ''she is returning'' to the 10th doctor about Gallifrey's return
wedgeantillies66 ‘she is returning’ was about Rose not Gallifrey
Niall O'Brien Could be stretched to mean both
That was a intense (WTF) !!!! scene with Lucius and Evelina they went in on the Doctor and Donna.
1:02 "He's Celtic." 😂😂😂Yeah, actually he is! He's Scottish! LOL

Completely agree. However the way they did from series 1-4 was on another level, incredible writing

Something about the way her mom says “she’s been consuming the vapors” just had me CACKLING 🤣🤣
“Daughter of London, there’s something on your back”
referring to the “Turn Left” episode
"And you,daughter of London, there is something on your back"
Me after watching series with 10 doc: OH I SEE NOW
in this Scene i definitely was not sure whether Caecilius was expressing respect or just outright mocking luicus with every word XD
I think he didn't know what Lucius was talking about and was pretending to do so to be distinguished
IDK why, but whenever characters from the past with no knowledge of time travel and future events know them somehow, it always freaks me out.
Ohhh dammnnmnn, sooth-off! Love a good sooth-off!!
Soothsayer battle! Fight!
Little did the Doctor know, he just met one of his future faces
Good thing the viewers back when Tennant was still the doctor did not notice the 12th doctor lol
Something on your back!
I love this scene
I have another theory During Tennant's and Ecclestons Tardises the inside of them the round things on the wall are what you would see on the inside of the Daleks Armor ( the balls) I'm not disputing the history But Davros created the Daleks.

When he said, ‘she is returning.’ I bet the doctor thought of rose.
Cabbie from Sherlock?
Also the Devil from Being Human.
And Poldark's servant
Oh yeah!😮
Does she is returning mean rose was returning?
I think he meant bad wolf, so you
Or maybe Missy
He said she was from London. Rose is from London.
No he said that Donna was from London. When he said "She is returning." he meant Rose.
Ranaghast Gaming lmao missy? He still has to face the master, either it was Rose Tyler, the Daleks, or Galifrey...
This scene kinda comes out of nowhere, it really helped sink this shows hooks into me.

It's weird watching this now that Capaldi is the doctor.. XD
Yeah really weird how weird would it be if the doctor went back to this time to make sure this happened or if he lost his memory

It's The Doctor hiding under a chameleon arch.

Since Lucius was literally talking about Gallifrey to the Doctor right before ("Your home is lost in fire"), I think that's the "she" he's referring to. Conversationally, it makes sense.

so peter capaldi has been in doctor who before AND in torchwood yet somehow still got re used as the doctor
Well, Karen Gillan was also in this episode as another character, and she became a long running companion.
