"Fairytale" is pretty much the Moffat aesthetic. It's going very much further into the fantasy feel from here on out - wonderful, romantic brush strokes and bold ideas.
Love the Matt Smith and Moffat era. So many people didn't give it the respect it deserved during its release - I get it, I grew up in the RTD days too, but wish more people would allow nostalgia to subside and accept the Smith / Capaldi years are just as great as the Eccleston / Tennant years
@@sallyatticum in my humble opinion, the reason the show has lasted so long is that there is something for everyone. I personally like the Moffat era because of the long game storylines, the fact that you get breadcrumbs that you might not even realize is important until the pay off, and I really like what they did with the 11th and 12th Doctors. I like to be challenged when I watch things. Not everyone does. When the show gives a little to everyone, no one is going to be happy all the time.
@@MatthewGCWReactsCaitlyn Blackwood is her name, and if you Google her, she looks so much like Karen does now. It’s really great and fun casting. On set was also the first time they actually ever met in person.
And my fav era (Capaldi/Smith) is here. Series 5 is in my top 3, so really excited to see your reactions. It’s too late by now, but if you haven’t watched it yet, 5x2 is a good episode to react (especially for Amy/Doctor relationship).
Really loved S5! Loved Moffat's longer form approach he kinda takes to things mystery wise! Just finished S6E8 recording wise so a little late, but did like that episode I will say!
"you know what it is" "what" "its a crack" *the doctor walks away credits roll*. this episode is great uses time travel well with amelia and introduces elements like the silence and the crack things that follow through smiths hole story also the fary tail elements mothat does do horror but he also does alot of fary tail stuff with his doctors. also the witty dialoug and banter is great showing the people in amys life establishing them while the doctor does his techno babble. also removing the tardis and screwdriver are great putting the doctor more on his toes all in all love it especially the intro just pure hype. great reaction as per usual
Series over, perfect ending 😂Agree, really great start to highlight how Moffat loves using the time travel aspect, and introduce some BIG parts of the story he wants to tell going forward! Loved that too, simple thing script wise to do that help establish what's going on. Really amazing 1st ep!! Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed!!
It sounds awful 🤮 I can't believe (well I can) that kids tried it. They were coconut/almond cakes in batter with custard on set, if you think Matt Smith was going to eat fish fingers & custard your off your nut!! 😂
May I suggest the name Mott for one of the adipose as an ode the legendary Wilfred Mott? I struggled with early Matt Smith and the early parts of this era in general. I found it a bit shiny and Matt just didn't have the edge or the darkness I felt he needed. He did grow into that over time though as I'm sure you know As always there are a bunch of cameos. Jeff for example is Luther from Umbrella Academy, that was fun to realise on a rewatch. And these days Arthur Darvill is also a time traveller in his own right, having gone from playing Rory to playing Rip Hunter on Legends of Tomorrow. I think Stephen Moffat has said one of his biggest regrets is having Olivia Coleman in this episode because he wishes he saved her to do something much bigger Finally, young Amy is played by Karen Gillan's cousin. They actually hadn't met in person until filming this
Awwh, I love Mott for him, perfect name 🥺 That's fair enough, it definitely does start very shiny and new like you said, but do agree that he DEFINNITELY grows into the darker edge of it! Yes! Recognised Jeff from Umbrella Acadmey, but kicking myself that it took your comment to make me realise that Rory was Rip Hunter!!!!! Oh my god. Agree with Moffat there, always gonna kick yourself for not giving Academy Award Winner Olivia Colman more! That I did know! Though didn't realise that they hadn't met in person until filming 😂
I don't know how many rewatches it took for me to realize when he said "I'll soon fix that" he meant growing up! One snap of the finger to open that door and she turned into a child again.
I remember watching this for the first time in 2010. I was the same age as little Amy and after watching the episode, I wanted the Doctor to crash land in my garden 😂
Aww can imagine that being a VERY different experience from watching now, back then being able to see yourself in the younger characters (and get mad over your shed being in tact😂)
So much to say. He's an alien so fish custard! Moffat timey wimey so 12 years. New doctor new sonic. Doctor stealing clothes from hospital is exactly what 3rd Doctor did. This sets the scene for what's to come. Not only this series but the next as well. Pay attention, this is where it gets complicated 😆
It gets SO DAMN COMPLICATED 😂😂😂 Moffat loves his timey wimey, I love the new green sonic, and love the little callback with stealing clothes from hospital as well!
Fish Fingers and Custard just feels like a natural food combination to me but that may come from this show giving me pro Fish fingers and Custard combination propaganda from a young age lol Welcome to the Moffat ere :D my personally fav of the show.
Wow. I never got the Peter Pan and Wendy reference, but now it is so obvious! The Eleventh Doctor is definitely more of a boy who never grew up than the previous Doctors. (It's one of the things that I don't really like about this era. The Doctor is a bit childish. Moffat's jokes don't really land for me.) But I do like this episode very much!
Yes! A lot of fairytale talk and feel here for sure! Fully agree with that, he is a lot more childish then previous, which is a fair reason to dislike if that's not your vibe. But do agree that this ep was great!
I loved RTD's era but Series 5, I always love just as much! In reference to Fish Fingers and custard, the interesting thing (it's slightly frozen coconut cakes) :D (Fish Custard sounds a bit yuck haha)
@@timaustin2000pretty sure it's cake and custard. Why would they bother putting cake and cheese together? If that was what they actually went for, then they might as well just have gone for actual fish fingers and custard
Of course, this was before Broadchurch, which. along with Tyrannosaur, launched Olivia Colman out of supporting comedy roles into the mainstream drama.
"Fairytale" is pretty much the Moffat aesthetic. It's going very much further into the fantasy feel from here on out - wonderful, romantic brush strokes and bold ideas.
Fully agree, definitely got that kinda aethereal fairytale way about it for sure!
Ah, the brush strokes. What an epic episode that was. One of my top 3, I cry no matter how many times I watch it.
This not the first episode filmed for this season. Rory had yet to be cast when they started filming. Timey Whimey even behind the scenes.
This show is truly Timey Wimey in every regard 😂

Very much agree!

@@phoenixfire124 As you say, something for everyone. Some of us believe that not every challenge is worth the effort.
@@sallyatticum Fair, but for those who do like the challenge...it was a great.
fun fact the actress who plays young amy is actually karen gillans cousin in real life!!
Yes I saw that!! Such a fun detail, plus she's very good!

From what I know fish fingers and custard isn't a bad food combo never had it but I've heard it's actually quite tasty
It may be but the thought of it is just not very appetising to me 😂
It sounds awful 🤮 I can't believe (well I can) that kids tried it. They were coconut/almond cakes in batter with custard on set, if you think Matt Smith was going to eat fish fingers & custard your off your nut!! 😂
It’s actually quite delicious. It’s something for the chicken and waffle crowd.

Moff and Mott.
Maybe the other one could be Murray for Murray Gold - Mott and Murray
Awwh, I love Mott for him, perfect name 🥺

23:53 "What's that?" "It's a (31:02) duck, Pond!"
I just realized something, shouldn't Rory have recognize Olivia as a coma patient?
Fun fact: Academy award winner Olivia Colman is in this episode 😂
WAIT??!?!? WHERE?!?!? Didn't notice her 😂
@@MatthewGCWReacts Did you also not notice Academy Award winner Olivia Coleman in Season 1's 'The End of the World'? (as blue plumber lady)
I don't know how many rewatches it took for me to realize when he said "I'll soon fix that" he meant growing up! One snap of the finger to open that door and she turned into a child again.
Literally!! Fixed that right up with the magic and wonder of the TARDIS, which the new interior definitely has more so than the previous one
Olivia Colman won her Oscar in 2019. This episode is from 2010.
No matter the time though, she shall always be Academy Award Winner Olivia Colman to me 😂
I remember watching this for the first time in 2010. I was the same age as little Amy and after watching the episode, I wanted the Doctor to crash land in my garden 😂
Aww can imagine that being a VERY different experience from watching now, back then being able to see yourself in the younger characters (and get mad over your shed being in tact😂)
Love the idea of peter pan and wendy reference. i think youre spot in with that one!
Thank you!! All so fairytale between them and with the fairytale talk earlier (and with Wendy by Maisie Peters stuck in my head) 😂😂
The countsown wasn't to do with the clocks it was because of how long the process they were planning to use to boil the Earth should take.
Aaaa yeah yeah, fair point
So much to say. He's an alien so fish custard! Moffat timey wimey so 12 years. New doctor new sonic. Doctor stealing clothes from hospital is exactly what 3rd Doctor did.

Yes I saw!! So cool, and she does such a good job as well!!
Fish Fingers and Custard just feels like a natural food combination to me but that may come from this show giving me pro Fish fingers and Custard combination propaganda from a young age lol
Welcome to the Moffat ere :D my personally fav of the show.
Yeah, perhaps seeing this at a young age would have influenced me differently 😂
Thank you!! Loving it so far :D

Addy and Paddy for the Adipose I think.
Addy Paddy 😂
The Tardis is Sexy, How long do we have to wait for that to pay off!.
So damn sexy!!!
I loved RTD's era but Series 5, I always love just as much! In reference to Fish Fingers and custard, the interesting thing (it's slightly frozen coconut cakes) :D
(Fish Custard sounds a bit yuck haha)
And cheese sauce. Which is actually just as revolting: cake,... With cheese sauce.
@@timaustin2000 Cheese sauce? Pretty sure it was just coconut cakes and custard, from the BTS and all that.
Same, RTD's era was amazing but S5 waas amazing to be too!! Ooo that's a bit better atleast there :D 😂
@@timaustin2000pretty sure it's cake and custard. Why would they bother putting cake and cheese together? If that was what they actually went for, then they might as well just have gone for actual fish fingers and custard

Mmhmm, which I'm very glad about because she is just brilliant!
Just to point out regarding your Adipose, they're Adipose, not Adipo 🤣
Aaa, thanks for the correction! 😂
