Have you seen my breakdown of episode 10 - th-cam.com/video/OYJXNLQFrRQ/w-d-xo.html
Deep Dive of episodes 11-13 coming 5/13/24
Why the name rerkkai
Because that is my actual name. But I go by NupeFromDaVille
OK your my favorite don't tell syntell also love your sense of humor and style
Probably one of the darkest and most hopeless cliffhangers the show has ever done
Utopia still tops the most hopeless cliffhangers for me. I would have never thought anyone would take the TARDIS and go off. That episode really got over my head for days when it aired. My mind felt like needed therapy.
I would agree with you. To add to what you said, I think S5 Episode 12: The Pandorica Opens, S9 Episode 11: Heaven Sent and S10 Episode 11: The World Enough and Time are also among the best cliffhangers especially the former and the latter DW have done. S9s I would say is one of the most hopeless I’ve seen the doctor and is regarded as one of the best episodes made in television
“Remove one tenth of the population!”
Yeah that was actually dark as hell, the correct usage of the word “decimate” is actually top tier.
talk about keeping you on the edge of your seat.
I love this type of drama. Let's go.
@@jafrulislam7529 This comment is full of spoilers... :(
12:26 this one is actually an inside joke. In the 90s, they planned to reboot Doctor in USA. One of the things in a show bible was to reveal that Master is Doctor's brother.
I knew it was something like that!!!
Also, it was considered as a plot element in Jon Pertwee’s final season before Master actor Roger Delgado passed away.
Martha is the GOAT. She may have been a bit poorly appreciated back in the day but she gained a shit ton of love ever since, and deservedly, she's awesome.
Martha was awesome. Met Freema when they were filming blink, she was lovely.
She is.
Yeah, I was definitely one of those viewers who didn't appreciate her at first, but on subsequent rewatches saw just how amazing she is. She's since become my favorite Companion. I'm so glad Syntell and Rekkai have appreciated Martha from the beginning, she deserves it!
@@Persewna4 Yes, I'm so glad about that.
My favorite shot is the dancing feet of the wife “Here Come the Drums”
The actress whom portrays Tish Jones, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, later went on to portray Ravonna Renslayer in the Disney+ Loki series.
We are aware. She has a fantastic movie called Fast Colors that you should check out. Slow burn, character driven piece about what constitutes a superhero and what is ultimately important.
She’s great
@@nupefromdaville I love _Fast Colors._ I wish there were some reactions to it, even rewatch ones, on here. She's great in _Belle_ too. Hail the Jones family.
@@HuntingViolets It is on our list....our long list.... Of movies to react to.... Lol
@@nupefromdaville I know there are a lot.
Freema did her own stunt driving for this episode and smashed it. Her flat blowing up was mostly practical too.
And Saxon has been mentioned as far back as Tennant's first episode with him being the one behind the strike on the Sycorax.
Simm described himself as wanting to have a character who uses the Doctors best attribute, ability to talk/charm situations, against him.
Nice mix of Time Lord costumes in the flashback. The young Master is wearing the gowns introduced in The War Games (1969) and the older Time Lords are dressed in the robes from The Deadly Assassin (1976).
This Master is total madness, enjoy the ride!
What a great villian so far. Loving it.
I don't think it is really true that Martha was hated, just that people were still reeling from losing Rose. The same thing happens whenever the Doctor regenerates - most people hate the new one at first until they get used to him, then they just get over it.
There are people who still hate Martha -- I run into them online sometimes. And it's a rare comment section where someone doesn't rip on her, even if they wouldn't say they hate her. "I just don't care for Martha" - "Martha is my least favorite companion" - and so on. Freema Agyeman has also talked about racism she's experienced from the fandom. There is a series of posts on Tumblr about racism in the fandom towards Martha. It's a rare comment section on her episodes that doesn't contain some petty nitpick on her. Martha is to me the best and people are appreciating her more these days, and I'm happy for that, but there are still some people who dislike her and a lot of it is racism. Because Martha is amazing and she deserves all the love.
The music over the car escape is called All The Strange, Strange Creatures, and I love it. One of my favorite pieces of music in NuWho.
Are you planning to wstch the Timecrash minisode after ep13 ?
The Teletubbies scene is an easter egg reference back to a classic Master story.
I downloaded the last four videos to watch offline on airplane. I have really enjoyed your last reactions. The return of this classic Who arch nemesis was such a delight when it happened. The Doctor should always pause to consider consequences. Harriett Jones was supposed to have three terms but he toppled her government.
Yes, he caused this and it was hubris on his part. She was supposed to usher in a Golden Age and he knew that.
I always forget this! Harold Saxon could have never been so easily elected if the Doctor hadn't messed up the Harriet Jones golden age.
John Simm's breakout role was in Human Traffic, an awesome film from 1999 about a bunch of friends partying on a typical weekend. Very funny, worth a watch.
I loved this plus Life on Mars.
@@fayesouthall6604 Yes, they might want to check out _Life on Mars._
When Derek Jacobi regenerated into his new form I went "Holy Shit, it's Jip! Nice one, brother"
Your comments about jessica Jones are exactly right for me! I'm glad I'm not the only one that loves tennants portrayal of the villan....
One of the best Marvel villians of all time.
Agreed. The next two season was just not nearly as good to me. And, honestly, I still have not watched season three. But I rewatched season one.
We are loving The Dr Who reactions 🧡😍 The Master is a sublime psychopathic enemy and played brilliantly by John Simm. The Master has many incarnations, exceptional, surprising and all mesmerising. You are in for a wild bonkers ride 🔥👌
Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons' 'Cloudbase' was back in the sixties and more likely what RTD was thinking of.
THANKS! I thought it was a copy of SHIELD, too!
@@IsiahBradley Me and RTD are of that generation when Gerry Anderson was all over the channels!
Edit: SIG! (Spectrum is green!)
@@IsiahBradley And don't forget, we also have an indestructible man in Captain Jack Harkness. A coincidence that we now get a Cloudbase as well? Is The Master now Captain Black? - The Mysteronized Agent.
I like how you called them little upgraded Daleks because originally the BBC couldn’t get an agreement with the Terry nation estate (the original designer) to use the Daleks image in the new series so they came up with a toclafane in place of the episode “Dalek” was probably gonna be used as a stand in. But of course he got sorted out so the spheres got used later.
Yeah RTD had a whole script treatment written and ready if they couldn’t get the Daleks as I recall, the talks were seriously in bad states and the fact they pulled through was felt as a miracle.
Of course it’s why the Daleks appear so much, the contract they have says they need to every season in some capacity, even if they aren’t big bads for the finale stuff, they just gotta be there.
@@chazo1367 apparently that contractual obligation for them to appear at least once per year/season is completely false. I forgot which writer explained this but they said it’s not true and the Daleks appear often enough simply because That’s what people wanted
When you said that about not fitting . . . I felt that. I get anxious at theme parks because sometimes I’m not gonna fit. Sometimes I do. But it ain’t fun to find out until the end.
Like David Tennant, John Simm is a really wonderful stage actor too. I've seen him in Hamlet and Elling and he was fabulous. There's a terrific TV thriller mini series from 2003 called State of Play, in which he's one of the leads, and it's something I rewatch every few years because it's so so good - only 6 episodes and worth checking out if you see it streaming anywhere! The last few years he's had his own detective show called Grace, which has been pretty successful and I think the fourth season is later this year. And then there's a pair of shows from around 15 years ago called Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes, which I can say nothing about that isn't spoilery other than - definitely worth checking out!
Forgot about State of Play, I loved that series. I really need to rewatch it.
If you want to see more of John Simm dealing with 'time travel', you might enjoy reacting to the original BBC "Life on Mars". He's good in that, and it has a short two-season run.
That show was quite a forgotten accomplishment....
@@IsiahBradley It was re-made for the US and it was awful. Only made it through 1 and half episodes but the original was great.
@@dansharp2860 Oh, yeah, only the original!!!
Life on Mars - Best TV show ever! British version only. The American version was awful.
Two great things in this episode, the first appearance of Murray Gold's glorious Gallifrey theme, and the correct use of the word "decimate".
19:38 is a re-quote from the Master in a classic serial from 1980, Logopolis. "Citizens of the Universe, please attend carefully..."
Quick moment of appreciation for Adjoa Andoh. She was originally cast as one of the Cat Nuns in New Earth and RTD and the production team liked her so much they wanted her back for a bigger role.
I've been thinking how interesting it would be to have her as a companion all these years later.
@@HuntingViolets how awesome would it be if she could be her as Lady Danbury travelling with Ncuti?
@@OldManFerdiad That would make an interesting fanfic, if nothing else. A Danburyesque character might work.
They do that with a bunch of actors on this show
The comment about secret brother was deliberate as was the answer "you've been watching too much tv" as that WAS the plan back in the 70s but the original master actor died and so it never happened....
there were various plans, including the Master being an evil incarnation of The Doctor, his dark side, to go with all the Buddhist trappings of The Planet of the Spiders. They also considered a Reichenbach Falls type ending with the Pertwee Doctor and Delgado Master falling to their deaths as a series finale.
@@OldManFerdiad yes that's also true..
And I fell right for it. 😂😅
Glad you’re enjoying this set of episodes. After the next episode, the finale, can you react to the 8 minute mini episode Time Crash? It’s a funny nod to old classic Doctor Who that will get your viewers explaining so much to you, and what it meant to David Tennant as a child, growing up watching and loving Doctor Who back in the early 1980’s.
I hope they can find a version that's good enough.
13:08 Oh so the Time Lords are like the ancient Spartans and the Halo Spartans. They indoctrinate their kids into the ways at the age of 8. I missed that when I first watched this.
weeeeeell at least in some versions of the "canon". Whatever that word means for Dr. Who lol
There is plenty of contradicting material - some much better imo since it makes the Timelords much more alien. Some TV episodes (classic and new) make them basically just slightly advanced humans.
That's how I saw it.
The Master is Moriarty to the Doctor’s Holmes. The Blofeld to his Bond.
"I am the Master and you will obey me!" :)
People say this is the most hopeless for The Doctor, but think of the fact that The TARDIS, previously described with the quote, "The TARDIS. MY TARDIS. The best ship in the world." Was basically abused by this madman for a third, maybe even fourth time. No doubt a paradox machine for her feels like waterboarding with a time vortex.
Unfortunately William Hughes who played the younger Master in that flashback died of self-deletion at the age of 20.
Oh wow. That is awful.
That's most unfortunatel. So sorry to hear that.
Oh, now we *rollin'!!!!* THANKS for this!!!! Let me go get my breakfast while I celebrate this nine hours before #NcutiGatwa!!!!
We can't wait!!!
@@nupefromdaville @syntell Do you see the *vines* and the *'fro* he's rocking in tonight's second ep?? LOL!!!
I just got back from a nap to make sure I'm extra rested for the premiere.
@@SyntellMurphy's Law--I got an emergency freelance project so I might have to wait 'till midnight to watch them! For me, that's like waiting weeks :)
Fun fact: Mister Saxon. is an anagram of "Master No. Six" he's the sixth face of the master.
This incarnation of the Master is so much fun to watch!
This is one of the strongest runs of back to back to back episodes of the modern era, although the latter half of series 4 is probably even better than this 👀
Can't wait!
Man, I can't wait till they get to the library
Season 4 is arguably the best season of modern Who, certainly the most consistent in terms of quality, but season 3, especially the back half, is my favourite run.
Yep! But we must be quiet :) So much fun ahead... :) New people are finding out why we're so crazy about this show!!!
@@sedaotieno Shhhhh!!! I know--*so* hard to not slip :) THIS DAMN SHOW...
When Doctor who was must see tv with a small budget
The Master watching Teletubbies and thinking they're real is, I think, a joke that refers to the old show. It's a dim and distant memory, but the Master in the old show was watching The Clangers and shining they were real too. (The Clangers was a kids show about puppet mice who live on the moon).
And yes, Season 4 is great too. This season maybe has greater highs, but Season 4 is more consistently great.
As others mentioned here, John Simm played the lead in 'Life on Mars' (2 Seasons x 6 Episodes in 2006 - 2007), Stephen King tweeted in 2021 after watching it again: "One of my favorite shows of all time. The kind you go to when you’re feeling sad". Just saying ....
If you ever want to check out a classic who episode I would always recommend one of the Master series. John Simm plays him wacky but he has always been a bad guy’s bad guy.
Fair point but where they are Genesis of the Daleks is the one to go for...
LOVE your reactions to Doctor Who!!
Thank you for having us.
A thing i love about the Master as a antagonist is that where the Doctor has spent hundreds of years wandering and helping people. The master has spent hundreds of years going around finding ways to gain power so you never quite know what he will be able to pull out when facing the Doctor.
How long was he Professor Yana, and why?
@@HuntingViolets my theory is since the Doctor said that not even time lords went that far. He went there to hide from the rest during the time war rather than fight for them.
I really hope the new season doesn’t spoil anything for series 4- 13 for yall
Me, too!!!
Me too, but I'm hoping it doesn't rely to much on old stories. I think we'll manage.
@@Syntell They'll be some things you won't get that are from the 60th anniversary specials--right before Ncuti!
Of the back of this great season, the Xmas special that u will watch turns out to be the most viewed episode of Dr who in the modern age (around 13 million from memory) and arguably, with adjustments one of the highest viewerships ever.....
YEP!
PS In season 1, when the rights to use the Daleks were in dispute, the Toclafane were going to be their replacement. Once the Dalek rights were secured, the Toclafane were moved to series 3.
Sure, this episode predates the Avengers movie by nearly 5 years... but flying aircraft carriers have been prominent in sci-fi for a while. The SHIELD Helicarrier first appeared in Marvel comics in 1965, and the British sci-fi show _Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons_ had the SPECTRUM Cloudbase (a similar design) back in 1967.
A lot of these things have existed in parallel for a long time - Doctor Who started in the same year as the first Avengers comics.
As an American I TY!
Thank you for that historical nugget of info
Congrats guys, nearing the end of 3. And good to hear you’ll be following 15 on his new journey, looking forward to it. And just know when you come back to Season 4 you’ll be entering what many Who fans consider to be the best season of the show…. Personally 4 of my top 10 and 2 of my top 5 favorites are in this season. You guys are going LOVE it 👍🏾
Really???
@@nupefromdaville You have *no* idea.... :) Season 4 will be worth the hiatus wait for all of us!!!!
I know you're enthusiastic, but I kind of wish people would stop telling them what they think is the best or worst coming up. I know some reactors have specifically said not to do this as they want to come in with no expectation, good or bad. Maybe just me, but there is surely enough to comment on about the episode they just watched.
@@HuntingViolets I hear you and you are *not* wrong. We just want them to be as excited as they are! I'll try to pull back!
@@HuntingViolets I’ve been consistent here and on Patreon. I’ve only hyped up the particular episodes that are my favorites. The rest have been episode specific. I don’t see anything wrong with saying 4 is my favorite, but if they have issues with it, I certainly wouldn’t want to ruin their experience
28:00 actually, Kristen Ritter is so the opposite of Jessica irl, this take caught me off guard a bit. I know a lot of action/super hero actors end up playing a fantasy, high morale version of their real life personalities, but Kristen is like a stereotypical valley girl in actuality… bubbly, high pitched voice, def not the alcoholic doom and gloom emo investigative journalist she is in the series😅 Not to take from Tennant’s performance as indeed a great villain is an essential, but the villain wouldn’t hit so hard if we didn’t care for the protagonist in the first place!
She is completely different in other roles.
Agreed, I loved Kristen Ritter’s performance as well but I think David Tennant’s performance really elevated that season that I feel in later seasons of JJ it does falter slightly. However, Kristen always delivers despite these issues and she’s defo not like her titular character at all ahha
It’s been a pleasure watching you guys enjoy what we’ve all loved for years. :)
Absolutely loving these doctor who reactions!
Going to miss them on the hiatus!
We won't be gone long. We just have a baglog that we have to sort through before it gets too out of control.
Life on Mars is a series where John Simm is the main and it is another great British series you could watch.
This is a bleak and terrifying cliffhanger. In the 2000s John Simm was well known as the lead in the series "Life on Mars", about a modern day police detective who somehow falls back in time to 1973 and discovers that the past really is another country. A very different role to this one. He is clearly having fun with it.
The master in classic who was famous for hypnotising and controlling people....
"I am the Master and you will obey me!" :)
@@IsiahBradley yep! Exactly that, wonderful delivery, wonderful actor!!
I would love to see your reaction to Life on Mars which stars John Simm (the Master here). It's about a British detective who gets hit by a car and when her wakes up finds himself in 1973. Soon after it finished, John Simm was chosen to play the Master. BTW Like many British actors, John Simm sometimes gets lead roles, in British shows but not in American ones, He also does a lot of theatre...he's not a "bit player" in the UK. BTW I agree with you about David Tennant in Jessica Jones; he was the only reason I watched that show. I'm looking to seeing your reactions to Ncuti's new episodes and glad you will continue to series/season 4.
Anything John Simm is in is amazing. He did have a role in an American TV series called "The Cstch", which also starred Peter Krause.
Like David Tennant in Jessica Jones, Simms completely steals the show and is the whole reason to watch it (the first few episodes without him are pretty meh)
You should definitely watch the British version of Life on Mars
THE MASTER is the arch enemy of the DOCTOR and every time an actor is picked to play him he is a good actor almost as good as the actor playing the DOCTOR
This particular arc with the introduction of The Master is a GOOOOD few episodes. Now you are Dr. Who-ing. You're in it now!
Please don't forget before the end of Tennant's run that he also shows up in a two-parter on The Sarah Jane Adventures, entitled The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith.
And that was great, too!!! @syntell @nupefromdaville , you guys would like that even if you just watch it for yourself!
That two parter on Sarah Jane is still one of my favourite episodes in all of Doctor Who/Sarah Jane Adventures. The villain (no spoiler) could easily give the new doctor a tough battle. Wish they brought him back
There is a huge 4th season spoiler . . . In Ruby Road. . .
They already watched "Ruby Road."
"Funny? No? Little bit?" WHY did I never catch that before???
Season 3 is awesome, but wait until the both of you guys get to Season 4. So many (many) revelations will be revealed. I can’t wait to see your reactions to them 😊 The Master is (in my opinion) the greatest enemy of The Doctor ever. I’m so excited that you guys are learning about him and his relationship to The Doctor. At some point, you two need to watch and react to my favorite movie 4.3.2.1. This movie was directed by Noel Clarke (who portrayed Mickey Smith). This movie has a lot of actors and actresses who were in Doctor Who (with the exception of Emma Roberts). It’s awesome that Noel Clarke casted some of his Doctor Who cast mates, and it’s also awesome to see the cast members in this film being portrayed as regular people with no sci-fi experience attached. #whovianforlife
Martha was a great character I just wish they didn't write her mooning over the Doctor, such a strong person except for that.
If you like John Simm (the master) in this episode, you should check out a show he played the main role in called "Life on Mars", it aired at around the same time in 2006 and 2007 and is a psychological police drama with a twist, i HIGHLY recommend this to anyone
100% British version only
When the Master was offering his wife Lucy "Would you like a jellybaby?" which is a british candy is a call back to the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) who would often offer his friends even enemies a bag of jellybabies. The Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton) and The Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) would also occasionally do it.
The master has always been one of my favourite doctor who villains and John Simms (life on Mars, check it out) has done him so well!
I was on the edge of my seat as a 13 year old when this episode first aired and as a 28 year old I still am 🤣
8:25 Surprise! 👀
It's funny you refer to the Toclafane as upgraded Daleks, cuz they were originally concieved to replace the Daleks as "The Enemy" of the Timewar if they couldn't secure the rights to use them.
Also, with regards to your dual journey, that's strangely appropriate for you to do. Very timey-wimey.
Purple man is coming back to the shows on Disney
AAAAAAAAAAA🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!
P.S. to Rekkai: you think you doing (pre-)MCU comparisons now..... :) [CENSORED] :)
Just curious, have you though about watching Classic Who? You would learn so much of its history.
We have. And Torchwood. And Sarah Jane. But there is only so much time in the day....
I would just stick with Torchwood. Just becuz you guys have got so much else to react to. Nothing against Sarah Jane, but show is more geared towards a slighlty younger audiance. Regarding Classics. It be best to watch them in your own time feels like it or not. I would start on The War Machines or start straight to Pattrick Troughton. Nothing against Hartnall but his sotrylines can drag on a bit
@@nupefromdaville I'd second the person below - just do Torchwood and not bother with classic who. I watched it as a child (I remember from the third doctor onwards) and I'd never want to watch it again (although my middle child loves it and has all the DVDs). Torchwood I absolutely love and it has some of my favourite stories in Nuwho. Thank you again for your reactions - so interesting to hear your views on the episodes.
I’d love to see a Sarah Jane adventure reactions, I know it’s aimed for kids but there so much in those episodes that can rival DW too. Plus you get to see great cameos from DW in it too. I think SJA really excelled with their group cast unlike in other shows
We would love to, but at the moment we are jammed packed with content. However that is not to say it won't happen in the future.
YEAH!!! Now we're talking. So happy you guys are lapping it up. Great stuff? Keep on keeping on, you'll not be disappointed 😁👍
Great reaction ❤😊 One of my favorites 😊
Thank you!! 😁
Glad you are enjoying it. For me and several of my Whovian friends including my daughter who was 12 yo at that point, it definitely went off a cliff after Capaldi the 12th Doctor. Such a shame. Even some of the writing in his last season was atrocious.
I think the writing during his run was doing him no favours tbh to which Peter Capaldi tried his best despite these issues. I think his last 2 seasons were quite consistent particularly his last one and delivered great performances. On the other hand, I’d say the writing declines more in the 13th Doctor’s run which is quite sad because I was really rooting for the writing team after watching Broadchurch. Let’s see how 14th doctor who goes, maybe that magic can return!
Love your reactions ❤
Thank you for spending your time with us.
Okay. Let's try this again, shall we?
At the end of this season/Series (right after the finale), there is a so-called "Minisode", like there was after the Series 1 finale.
This one is 8 minutes long, is called "Time Crash", and is well worth watching. It can be found under this TH-cam "watch code" (the bit after watch?v= in a TH-cam URL): 4I76p1cZbq4 (can't post direct links to TH-cam comments). That is, if you don't mind watching it in 240p, although I suspect that was the original quality when it first aired.
The Christmas Special, on the other hand, is called "Voyage of the Damned", and is 72 minutes long.
As such, the Christmas Special and the Minisode are NOT the same thing.
The Minisode goes before the Christmas Special, right after the Series 3 finale. I really do hope you guys watch it, as (in my opinion at least) it is brilliant.
Hell yeah great reaction 💯👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed
I'm with you on the tight spaces man! Whatever you do, don't watch the horror movie "the descent".... a horror movie set in claustrophobic cave tunnels.... horrific!
Man there's so much for these boys to look forward to. Y'all have been loving season 3 but you have an absolute S-tier BANGER season in S4 coming up. Can't wait for y'all to get to S8/9/10 too
So glad you mentioned those later seasons because they’re among my favourites (the 12th doctor is my fav so I’m a bit biased haha)
@@jafrulislam7529 twelve is THE Doctor as far as I’m concerned so no complaints here
Ignore the 'President-Elect' bit. RTD had no clue what that meant.
You should dip into classic Who at some point. The Master was introduced in 1971 during the Jon Pertwee (3rd Doctor) era. The original actor, Roger Delgado, was terrific. I was a kid back then and found The Master really scary.
John Simm in life on mars uk version
The Master is a crazy bad guy that's been around since the 1970s. This season is good but the next is fantastic with the greatest companion ever and you probably know who she is.
I love your reactions, so I'm really glad you are going to do reactions for the new Ncuti Gatwa series.
a lot of stuff about the doctor and his past, the show has purposefully only hinted at over the years-what's the show’s title again? but his name is an interesting one.
though more recently it's been suggested the doctor chose his name way back, back in the classic series the show played it for years that even the name we do have for him was all a misunderstanding that he just rolled with.
in the very first story, the doctor's new companions-to-be mistook who the doctor actually was-but then lacking anything better to call him, just went right on using "the doctor" up until they left. but before they went, they introduced him by name to the next companion, and so on.
all through the original black-and-white era, the writing is very deliberate so that people who know him just introduce "the doctor" into new situations, without his usually needing to say anything about who he is. in the rare occasion he identifies himself, he says something like "they typically call me 'the doctor.'"
it's not until deep in the second doctor's era that we ever in so many words see him say "i am the doctor," and unambiguously self-identify by the name everyone had been assigning him for like five seasons already.
it was like, "all right, everyone keeps telling me i'm this 'doctor' person and they keep assigning me all these attributes that they think 'the doctor' has-so why not just embrace it? okay, fine, i'll be the doctor then; from the way you describe him, he sounds like someone worth being."
i mean, it's subtle-but if you watch closely, the writers really went out of their way for years, across several production teams, to keep up this thing of, "no, people just keep calling him 'doctor,' but we don't really know anything about who this guy is beyond what people accidentally project onto him." like, the character was a total enigma even in dialogue almost until the show moved to color.
again, it's still... vague, but these days the implications go a slightly different direction, with the doctor having chosen their name well before leaving home. even then, the show barely does more than suggest that, so a definite statement could just as easily swing things back the other way and put us back with him shrugging and eventually just leaning into this persona that had been sculpted for him.
I am so glad you're enjoying these episodes ao much, the hype for the second half of season 3 is well-deserved, the storytelling and acting just does not slow down!
I absolutely agree, the Master is a superb villain, and a really good choice for the Season 3 finale story. We needed a villain who would make things personal for the Doctor. Season 1 has the iconic Daleks, who are indeed threatening and scary, with their one-track drive to exterminate all other life in the universe. And season 2 upped the ante by adding Cybermen to the mix. But if season 3 was just the Toclafane, it would start to feel boring, have an enormous arm of metal monsters terrorizing humanity again. But with the Master, he is specifically doing this to mess with the Doctor, messing with his Tardis, targetting his companion and her family, and rubbing the Doctor's face in his failure to protect the planet. The fact that the villain is another Time Lord is another aspect that twists the knife for the Doctor; finally he's not the last of his kind...but at such a cost.
Cannot wait for the next episode! The next episode is the one that truly cements Martha as my favorite Companion, she's brilliant throughout but as Rekkai noted, right now everything comes down to Martha... I feel like the two-parter of Hunan Nature/Family of Blood serves as a bit of foreshadowing for this story, that Martha finds herself on her own again, the Doctor needing to rely on her to save the day.
Yes the Doctor is an alien scientist atleast in Classic Who that's how he describes himself NuWho however kind of lacks that at times but also loves exploring the universe while The Master is the opposite he wants to conquer and rule the universe.
SO Tinnitus can turn you EVIL!! 🤣
I'm so excited to see you guys so excited for this one! Glad to hear you're gonna do the new series too, I really hope there are no spoilers in that for Series 4 to 13+. Will be an adjustment though not seeing you 3 times a week, but I'll find some Copium somehow. You guys help me get through long work days, I do most of my watching on my Rsenal's Arsenal account and make comments with that, but today you get the main channel cause I was off work, I'm recovering from oral surgery. I told you all about 2 weeks ago I had a toothache and that's gone now!
Don't forget you have a Christmas Special after the next episode, so if you wanna take your hiatus after that, that would be cool 😉

& now for Doc 15:
2023 Xmas Special you saw and now...
14-1 to 14-8 OR as they're starting over numbering 1-1 to 1-8 but calling it Season instead of Series. But then the original 26 outings of Classic WHO were called Seasons too, so yeah, confusion and consternation abounds. If they wanted to be original they should've called the new soft reboot Serial 1, just my opinion.
Hope this is helpful. Take a screenshot and use as roadmap!
Great plan with Ncuti. But you need to watch series 4 asap!!
I always thought that the Master aging the Doctor was the dumbest thing in this two parter. It was just an excuse to sideline him for Martha in the following episode.😢
No spoilers but you think you love Martha now ???? Next episode is why she's still myfavourite companion after all these years ❤.....River comes a close second ...Spoilers
Absolute facts. Martha is THAT woman!
That one should be out on Monday.
Stay tuned. And thanks for watching.
(spoiler) - We love her even more.
6:22 👀
Btw she can’t realistically go back in time and change it, it will create a paradox(preventing the things that causes you to go back) especially since this is likely a fixed point
You're selling John Simm VERY short. Simm is one of the UK's finest actors and has had many starring roles over the last 30 years. But not that many genre shows, so you may not have had much exposure to him.
Prepare yourselves for a insane ride! 🙏🏽💪
The Master's wife is crazy like all my exes, and I love her ❤❤ I make some bad choices...
I like the “99, 98?” from the Master.
You two need to watch the classic era from Doctor Who.
Probably starting with Spearhead From Space.
marthas going to time hop and fix this...if only the writing had that much thought lol
Please don't do both at the same time
If y’all gon react to new who be realllll careful there’s definitely some spoilers ahead so be careful about that
are u planning on watching the whole show?
So far yes. And we're covering the New Disney Who also.
@@Syntell oh nice nice. the 11th doctor is actually amazing
