This was such a great episode, had me on edge the whole time! And fun fact, this episode was written by Steven Moffat who was the show runner for Doctor Who from 2010-2017 (and he’s also responsible for some of the show’s best episodes since 2005!)
The military clergy are one of Steven Moffat's greatest creations. They previously appeared with the eleventh Doctor. I'm so glad we got to see them again.
@@lickagoat all they really say is that "he was a good man" in regards to something else (and don't fully realise it's him I don't think) iirc River has to say she trusts him with her life for them to follow
@@stephjovi They don't worship the Doctor. The one in Time of Angels thought he was a lunatic and not to trust him. They knew of him enough so that River introducing him as the equivalent of an army meant something to them, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's well known, just that Father Octavian knows of him, which he would as River is entrusted to his custody.
As a big fan of DW since n1964, I loved this episode and caught all the easter eggs, the last line of the doctors, "all that survives of us is love" Comes from a poem called 'Tomb of Arundel' by an English poet called Phillip Larkin, who could be called a 'sad man' his poems were known for being quite melancholic. 😢😊 😢
The weaponfields of Villengard were mentioned way back in serires 1 (2005) during Moffats first episode of the revival. So it's interesting he focused his first episode of the next revival on the weapons of villengard. You are right, at every jumping on point for the show, they'll typically make the first 3 or 4 episodes VERY different from each other, just to give you a flavor of the "rules" of the show. You'll settle into the different styles (horror, drama, suspense, historical, emotional, romance, alien, etc) and find the style that resonates most with you, then when these types of episodes come on you'll get excited even more for them.
20:02 "Doctor, activate your Time Lord power!" Yeah, he's definitely new XD Certain situations... are beyond his control. He, well the word He might not use correctly here, once said "Sometimes, even I can't win." And here where... well... We can just hope~ and that's powerful thing~ :)
To quote the Doctor in space babies, "I'm not saying everything is connected, and yet... Things connect." Very rarely are things in Doctor who not intentional or connected in and way. Many have pointed out that the Valenguard have been mentioned before, and the Anglican soldiers as well (wait until you go back and meet the "tall/short, fat/thin, gay Anglican Marines") but so much more connects. The snow is connected to Ruby's origin. The ambulance getting stuck when looking up Ruby's next of kin. The actress playing the face of the ambulance was also the lady serving tea in the last episode, and I've of the crewmen that abandoned the baby factory in the one before, and a person in the club watching Ruby play in the Christmas special. (She also appeared in another of the 60th anniversary specials) Even the actress that plays Mundi is maybe connected in a way we don't even know yet (she'd been announced to be joining next season, but will she be this character or someone else? Will there be a connection between them?) Even "throwaway" lines like when he talked about living there with his granddaughter in 1963 connect (this was the plot of the original 1st season).
you're so right about it being great when the doctor takes a more authoritative position, 10, 11 and 12 all have amazing moments like this and i think a lot of it is due to steven moffat's involvement. he really knows how to write the doctor
You're right about the episodes having different styles, that's sort of the beauty of the show, they can literally go anywhere in time and space, which means the genre of an episode can switch in a heartbeat, there's nothing holding them back from any genre, for any episode. It means the show is always fresh and new, because they can literally do anything, and it means every new episode, we have no idea what to expect, which is incredibly exciting as a fan.
I see a lot of people judging these episodes based on what came before, but it's really refreshing seeing an actual newcomer commenting on these episodes since this is meant to be a brand new jumping on point in the same way the 2005 series. It's enlightening seeing how this season actually works as a jumping on point.
Feels so fresh to see a newcomer discover it all. Keep it up mate. :) Btw, I'd advise you to note you're a newcomer in the title, it will attract a lot of people (like me) who are yearning to see fresh eyes gaze upon our "little" show. :)
@@UgoWatchalso add in capitals NO SPOILERS or in their enthusiasm people will spoil (even retro) things as someone has in.these comments (because of that i'm not going into the detail of the spoiler 😀)
Villengard has been mentioned a couple times. The first was with the 9th Doctor way back in season 1 (2005). Then, in the 12th Doctor's final season, we actually go to the planet Villengard. It was wild to see that tech in action this episode.
We met the Anglican Marines a couple of times back during Matt Smith's era as The Doctor, but not since. We have no idea why the future human church has a military arm, it just exists, roll with it :) The Villengard arms factories were first mentioned waaaay back in 2005. And yeah that's the nature of Doctor Who - sometimes it'll be a silly one for the kids, sometimes a cosmic horror, sometimes a weird love story - you never know what you are going to get!
"We have no idea why the future human church has a military arm, it just exists, roll with it." You may be surprised to learn how much influence the various Christian churches have had in warfare throughout real life history...
@@IceMetalPunk Well of course, in real history. I'm European, many hundreds of years of our history is endless bloody religious wars! In Dr Who though we have no backstory for how or why the future Anglican Marines were created, or ended up as part of the Papal Mainframe
@@ciaranirvine I guess, sure, we don't know the specific trajectory. But it does seem a fairly natural evolution of the current religious organizations. It's basically just "at some point, the churches stopped pretending they weren't involved, and took a more direct approach to what they've always been doing."
Colonization. That's why it exists. This episodes shows it. They are colonizing this empty planet, and are bringing all their weapons to kill off whomever lives there already.
This episode was written (and guest produced) by Steven Moffat, who was showrunner of Doctor Who from 2009-17 and holds the record of having written the most Doctor Who teleplays of all time.
This new season is a lot more musical than the others, with a musical villain as well as a doctor and companion that both love music as part of their personality and characters
The mix in styles is the best way to do a series IMO...it's a family show, but rather than trying to please everyone at the same time, give everyone their turn. On top of that being a show where you can do anything a series should represent that with variety, during the series when the variety is slim things can get a bit boring even if stories are decent.
Oh gosh happy introduction to the absolute tonal whiplash between doctor who episodes! doctor who is the kind of show you can do almost any type of story with and the amount of experimentation and freedom that allows is fantastic :)
Also its super exciting to get to see someone experiencing the show for the first time through this era! It's meant to be a jumping on point for new viewers and I've been curious about how genuinely new people are reacting to it. As someone who's into out of print books from the 90s about a doctor from a failed movie and other weird eu stuff, it's easy to get so caught up in my own brain and forget about how new people and more casual viewers experience doctor who :D
This was a good episode, I heard someone else say it and I think they are right, that it seems like Splice was written to be a bit younger than the actress they cast for her. It is interestng to see what the modern "bottle" episode can be.
moffat is probably the best writer in this show. him returning after so many years is very promising edit: also none of the episodes so far feel really like the usual who episodes to me, this is after all a new show in a way. but I'd say this ep comes the closest to it second edit: the doctor although often portayed as a very powerful entity is very vulnerable. he doesn't really have any powers except an incredible lifespan and the knowledge that comes with it. thats it. just some madman in a box.
i find it strange that some have fixated so much on Ncuti's Doctor shedding tears the last few episodes, since it's been for wildly different reasons every time so far
"We're on the clock here.." LMAO I loved all your reactions, mirrored mine a lot. The "I'm so annoyed right now" feeling, even while enjoying it so much lol.
Steven Moffat knows how to write a good who episode! I loved Heaven sent, The library, and Blink. You should check out those episodes ❤ Anyways, loved the video! It’s refreshing seeing a new whovian react to the show.
This was so much better , tense , genuine jeopardy , well acted and written by Steven Moffat with a moral message to boot . There is definitely something about Ruby .
There's going to be long gaps between seasons - perfect times for working through the Doctor Who back catalogue to feed your DW habit and maintain presence on YT for audience building.
I love seeing your reactions and Just seeing you enjoy the show for what it is especially with all the constant devide and hate in the fandom. Love the vids ❤
Loving the Doctor Who vids- idk if you’ve seen the classic series at all but there are good, short breakdown vids on yt you’ve probs seen them tho but ngl Ncuti’s adaption of the character to me reminds me of Patrick Troughton the second doctor from 1964 (could be wrong)
It was a fantastic episode. Best in years. So you're new to Who?? Wow all the references you don't understand 😂. Ncuti is an amazing actor. His doctor grows on me fast.
If you intend to watch the previous series’ don’t read this comment, to avoid spoilers. If you don’t intend to watch the previous seasons: This takes place off screen but At some point after this episode takes place, the ninth doctor lands on the moon on which the weapons factory exists on, and destroys the factory, and plants banana groves in its ruins, so I doubt the factory will come back… also the ruins became almost like a cemetery for one of the doctors oldest enemy races…😅that last part is shown on screen.
I don’t know much about poetry but searching “what remains of us is love” led me to Philip Larkin: “An Arundel Tomb” on a poetry foundation website. They have a guide to the poem as well as the text of the poem. The quote is from the last line of the poem. The discussion of the poet and the meaning of the poem is interesting. I skimmed it briefly. It seems to be ambiguous as to whether the last line is truth or a lie we need to be true. Much like the girl’s insistence that her father is just dead but not gone. Is that really true or is it her faith in that belief that sustains her in a situation that would crush a lot of people. The Doctor said that sometimes faith is necessary. Now I’m wondering how many of the faithful will have their faith challenged by the fact that they’ve been fighting against a weapons marketing campaign and not the inhabitants of this planet.
Yeah I think either before the end of this season you should go back to 2005 and start there. But if that might be a little messy while watching the current season, maybe do it after :)
I also think 2005 would be the best point to jump back to. The 2023 specials on Disney+ set things up for the current season but are themselves reliant on earlier events, and there are all kinds of complications with going all the way back to 1963.
Yeah, this show can definitely go from campy fair to this intense, more serious, tone. And often does from week to week (although, as you guessed, quite often the lighter fair goes towards the front of a season with the heavier stuff towards the back end). It doesn't often do 'most of the episode takes place over a single scene,' mind, and there's definitely something added to any episode, of any show, when it's able to do that. I fully support you sticking with just this season for now. At the end of it, if you fancy going back then there will be time between the end of this season and the next Christmas Special. Maybe starting with the 60th specials, but after those three, there's a... Lot... of Who to pick and choose from. And for the most part it's episodic (with some season long arcs, particularly since the show came back in 2005, but even there most stories are mostly standalone so it's not the worst approach to pick and choose the stories that have better reputations that interest you, and then if there's a Doctor or companion you want to see more of because you particularly liked their performance focus in on their stories for a while) Prior to Gatwa's era which you've started with there were, I believe, 303 stories across 39 seasons (plus some specials) now. That's not something that anyone should be considering 'watch from start to present in production order' as a primary means of engaging with the archive.

The Doctor (and Time Lords in general) have no power, he is just very clever. And of course Time Lords can rigenerate, but they must have the time to do that, if they blown out well they just die
thats great and all but we no longer know what the doctor can or cant do because he isnt a timelord. I'll put money on this that by the end of this season we will find out he used to be part of the pantheon as the god of time. guarantee it lol
Sadly Susan has never been relevant since her leaving the show. Barely mention her after she leaves the show. I think shes been brought up more on nuwho than she was every brought up in classic who after her departure.
I am absolutely not going to tell anyone off for starting here. But it will drive you mad if you don't watch it all. And drive us mad because we want to give you spoilers for shit that happened 50 years ago.
can we stop trying to make series 14 happen? it's never gonna happen. This is season 1 from a new show. New Who ended in 2022 with The Power of the Doctor.
Try searching season 1 episode 1 into youtube your going to get the ecclston era no one is trying to make season 14 happen but like with God of War 4 if it shares a title with anouther in the franchise you have to have some way to destinguish between them
It's written by Steven Moffat - this is a very good episode that finally feels close the show proper ss it should be (the previous 2 didn't). The musical stuff is an anoying new thing for disney season 1.
@@Scroteydada nope they havent but that doesnt mean its disney. I'd guess it's russels creative choice and probably has it's reasons. but how would I know
@@Scroteydada very occasionally in specific episodes there is music - end of the world, mummy on the orient express are the only examples i can think of and no musical/dance set pieces - none at all in classic who (unless you have 1 particular dvd) - so no it is only in the 2023+ episodes...
The Doctor was not scared in the first episode. It was by design. It was meant to be scary and even he acknowledged that. With Maestro, it is because he faced their father and they were a god.

the TARDIS is fully sentient, the keys are more so a sign of the Doctor's trust, so she knows she can trust the companion as well and let them inside

It's written by Steven Moffat - this is a very good episode that finally feels close the show proper ss it should be (the previous 2 didn't).
The musical stuff is an anoying new thing for disney season 1.
There is no confirmation that disney are why there are musical numbers this series. They have always existed in nuwho
@@Scroteydada nope they havent but that doesnt mean its disney. I'd guess it's russels creative choice and probably has it's reasons. but how would I know
@@justarandomguy2424 Ruby is a musician, not unlikely to think there's more music related stuff because of that.
Bro, Ruby is a musician that has some weird reality stuff going on with her, not unlikely that there's a reason for more music stuff.
@@Scroteydada very occasionally in specific episodes there is music - end of the world, mummy on the orient express are the only examples i can think of and no musical/dance set pieces - none at all in classic who (unless you have 1 particular dvd) - so no it is only in the 2023+ episodes...
The Doctor was not scared in the first episode. It was by design. It was meant to be scary and even he acknowledged that. With Maestro, it is because he faced their father and they were a god.
You should start with the 2005 edition.
