![[안방1열 직캠4K] 베이비몬스터 치키타 'FOREVER' (BABYMONSTER CHIQUITA FanCam) @SBS Inkigayo 2404707](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Tn3bGHiBWkg/mqdefault.jpg)
Have you seen Rekkai's breakdown of episode 10 - th-cam.com/video/OYJXNLQFrRQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you bro! I can't get my blurb to post ever! I appreciate this!
I have seen it cause 'I didn't blink', like he asked us to. =D
The master is 2nd only to the daleks in classic who in terms of baddies.... he was created in early 70s as a flip side baddie for the doctor... similar smarts and skills etc... he's been in dozens of stories and regenerated a few times....
The master was the doctors friend in the academy but later on, they were going to reveal he was his brother in the 3rd dr regeneration story.... he was gonna sacrifice himself to save the doctor... sadly however the original master actor (the fabulous Roger delgado) died in a road accident filming a movie abroad and so the plot twist and story never got made.....
Told u about the great run of stories!
You guys finally made it to the master the final of the big 3 doctor who villains with the daleks and Cybermen. He made his introduction in 1971 and was made to be the moriarty to the doctors Sherlock Holmes
My head is still blown!!!
Told you it wasn’t downhill from Blink 😂 The Master is an unbelievable villain and John Simm plays him perfectly, shout out to Derek Jacobi for the 5 minutes he had as The Master, he really set him up nicely
Man, what you said.
I see no hills 😂
The voices coming out of the watch before he opens it are all classic TV lines from previous faces of “The Master”. Those of us who had watched DW from BACK in the day before the Rose reboot were losing our collective shit at this scene.
We suddenly knew who was in that watch and what it meant. It was so well done it gave people who never heard of The Master goosebumps - just imagine.
And Derek Jacobi to boot! Holy crap.
Yoink the TARDIS and
Drums.
Professor Yana is played by iconic British actor Derek Jacobi. The costume designer wanted him to look like he'd stepped out of the classic series: waistcoat, old-fashioned shirt, pocket-watch... almost like he could have been an incarnation of The Doctor.
The new Master we see at the end is John Simm who was well known at the time for the TV series Life on Mars and 90s clublife movie Human Traffic.
There’s also a great video on TH-cam where you can watch both David tennant and John Simm’s versions of hamlet monologues. It’s a really cool watch.
@@UserName-vb4lg Derek Jacobi has also played Hamlet. Incidentally, he has been in almost every movie Kenneth Branagh has directed. I always wish he could have done the whole arc as the Master here.
Life on Mars is my absolute favourite show and a must see.
@@purrceys7959 I second that
The kid playing Creet, a child actor by the name of John Bell won a Blue Peter contest with prize being an appearance in Doctor Who, the kid kept acting, of course.
He has a main role in 'Outlander' now.
This episode takes place directly after the events of Torchwood Season 1 (A spinoff show starring Jack)
I really love the banter between Jack and the the Doctor.
Almost like siblings.
@@Syntell _Game of Thrones_ siblings.
Chantho is indeed a ‘sister’ as you assumed, her name is Chipo Chung, she’s a Zimbabwean-Chinese actress.
I didn’t know that. She’s fantastic in this.
@@fayesouthall6604She's in turn left too!
@@cait812 I forgot about that! Yes she is !
That makes her half-sister tho 😂
If you listen closely, you'll hear the voice of the original Master, Roger Delgado, in a clip from the 1972 story The Time Monster, when Yana opens the watch. The Master's story would probably have been finished during the 3rd Doctor's era, were it not for Delgado's sudden death. The next time we saw the character, played by Peter Pratt, he was basically a withered corpse, having used up all twelve of his allotted regenerations. The Master's last appearance was in the 1996 TV movie made by Universal, where he took over the body of a San Francisco ambulance driver named Bruce, played by Eric Roberts.
Sir Derek Jacobi…. Such an absolutely brilliant actor.
An absolute tour de force with just 4 words. I am the Master.
Couple of bits of Trivia:
Jack stared in a Doctor Who spin-off called Torchwood inbetween Series 2 and 3. It was aimed at an older audience and dealt in more explicit subject matter, though not always in the most mature way IMO. It was spotty quality, though many agree the 3rd Event Series "Children of Earth" was it's peak.
(Likewise, Sarah Jane had her own spin-off series aimed at a younger audience, so they were like the older and younger siblings of the main show.)
The Hand in the Jar was a recurring prop, and the finale episode leads into this one, with Jack scooping up the hand and dashing off when he hears the TARDIS landing.
Also, the little kid who referes to the Sky filled with Diamonds was a contest winner. If you were 8-16 years old, you could send in a video audition with a sample script for a chance of landing the role. I entered myself. Can't speak for my acting ability, but as the old cliche goes, I was definitelly too tall for it.
I always took that line “the stars were made of diamonds” as the way they would describe a star filled sky when they’re at the end of the universe and most of the stars have gone out. It’s a beautiful description on the surface but a heartbreaking one underneath.
The Master is one of Dr Who's most feared and famous enemies (played by the great John Simm) You have so much to experience and many amazing episodes. We are so happy to share this journey with you 👌😍
Jack unintentionally got long life from Rose when she had taken in the heart of the Tardis. He did not have powers before that.
And the Master is an old adversary from the original series. I don’t think it would be too dramatic to say The Master and the Doctor are archenemies. More complicated than that, but no spoilers, you’ll enjoy the ride, I think
oh snap guys we are getting into a BIG three parter.... im so excited to watch with you guys
And this is just the beginning.
WOW
The last time we saw The Master before this was in the 1996 movie. And, yet again, he's abandoned The Doctor to die while taking control of The Doctor's TARDIS (who literally is sentient, so that's just a moral violation for the old girl) just so he can escape from being caught for a majority of crimes.
Also, may Chantho, our beautiful Malmooth angel, last of her kind, rest in Peace.
Yeah it was a hoot watching Eric Roberts play the Master
@@technofilejr3401 He also made it so terrifying. Telling Chang Lee, "I told you. The TARDIS likes you." That's definitely not the reason. The director knew how effective showing something rather than telling it was.
You’ve probably been told a million times that Series 1 of Torchwood takes place between the DW Series 2 finale and this - but don’t worry, it is totally fine to watch Doctor Who without having watched that
It's exactly the same feeling I have with "The Sarah Jane Adventures" I've never seen a full series of it & have had little intention of doing so when it aired or to this day. It was specifically made for a child audience & has never appealed to me apart from 2 specials, The wedding of Sarah Jane & Death Of The Doctor that I've seen.
You get more out of something watching everything, true but I bulk at people's opinions that you MUST do this or that & doing the opposite is just wrong
Torchwood is still on our radar.
John Simm - the new Master - had just starred in a hugely successful time travel (kind of) British TV series, Life on Mars. The show's format has been remade both in America and South Korea.
Life on Mars is such a great show!! Would be amazing as a reaction series from these guys!
Life on Mars is a wonderful show and my favourite. I'd love to see their reactions to the original British show. (The US one was crap.) .
@@purrceys7959 The South Korean one is worth a watch, though.
@@MJE-riffs yes, I've heard the South Korean version is good. Unfortunately I've never seen a copy of it with subtitles as I don't understand Korean.
When you said you didn't know the Tardis needed fuel at 2:10. Remember what The Doctor was doing at the start of this episode, parking the Tardis in Cardiff on the rift to fill it up with energy is the same thing the 9th Doctor, Rose and Jack were doing in Series 1 episode 11 'Boomtown', when they parked the Tardis in Cardiff and Mickey met up with them whilst it was filling up. Of course this rift that they're parked on originated from Series 1 episode 3 'The Unquiet Dead' back when they met Charles Dickins and all the ghosts were pouring out of the rift
If y’all like the way, he acted when he saw Martha. Wait till y’all watch the torchwood series and see how it all ties together. 😂
This episode was so fantastic coming off the heels of "Blink"! Please check out the pinned comment here!
Ah ye, The master! Another well known Classic Who villain. Probably on par with the Daleks and Cybermen in terms of notoriety. One of the voices that you hear while Yana is looking at the fob watch when it's tryint to tempt him to open it, is actually the voice of The Master from a previous incarnation from way back in the 3rd Doctor's run. And much like The Doctor he also went through several regenerations during his run.
And what an entrance. I can't wait to see what he can do.
Derek Jacobi is a wildly respected and famous actor over here who leapt at the chance to do Doctor Who, he said it had always been a dream of his to be on dw and one of the big soaps.
Up until S6 there was a show called confidential that showed behind the scenes making ofs for each episode and usually guest actor interviews. Lot of fun for this one. Most of the cast didn't know how Chantho looked so she made a mad run back onto set as she was leaving so everyone would know he face.
Simm the actor you see at the end of the episode said yes to DW because his son was obsessed with it and would never have forgave him had he said no. His kid got to watch his regeneration, what you see at the end of this episode.
Derek Jacobi gets to play the Master for about 5 minutes, and in that time becomes my favorite version to ever do it.
Forever a highlight of my life.
I replied on a big finish Instagram post featuring Simms and Jacobi, saying, "Derek's Master is just staring at the ones behind the camera like, 'I said Young and Strong! Not naive and wimpy!'"
The one word reply I got from Simms.
"Ouch."
Love his version so far.
Same! Ever since I watched him in "I Claudius" way back in the late 70's I've considered him one of the best actors from the UK.
he has played the Master a lot more, but only in the audios.... and he is just as good in them
It was a great choice to have this role played by arguably one of the greatest actors of his generation.
The fact that using just his eyes you can see him go from kindly to malevolent evil is a testament to how good he is.
All I can say is “HERE COME THE DRUMS” 😁😁😁
Stop spoiling
@@Legendary3Dgamer THANK YOU!!! I get being excited but they've asked repeatedly to not to speak on anything that comes after the episode they're reacting to. Let them enjoy it the way we all did back in the day.
@@Legendary3Dgamer 15 years old, no spoiler.
@@Legendary3Dgamer I don't think this counts as a spoiler when the next episode is literally called "The Sound of Drums", it's barely different to saying "I'm excited for the next episode".
You are my super child my super child
P.P.P.S. To new Whovians: The Master is The Doctor's Moriarity. Or, if I can be Marvel-centric, his Doctor Doom or Green Goblin. Fun times ahead.... :) And @syntell and @nupefromdaville, this is just Part One! LOL!!!! Glad Rose hooked Jack up when she became Dark Phoenix.... :) And Rekkai, you might be right about Jack's pioneering status :)
Can't wait for Friday for two reasons now!!!! (Thank God I have "Star Trek: Discovery" tomorrow to fill this gap!) WOO-WOO!!!!
Great comparisons. Now you have me extra excited.
Wish we could have seen more of the legendary Derek Jacobi in Who. His portrayal reminded me of the first Doctor - William Hartnell - from 1963. Sometimes kind,, sometimes forgetful, sometimes grumpy.
Honestly the reveal came out of nowhere. I miss these days where reveals like this were not rumoured months in advance.
Derek Jacobi is an incredible actor on stage & screen & was superb in this, he also has further alternative adventures in audio stories with Big Finish as well.
John Simm plays The Master now & he is also a fine actor really playing this derangemed iconic character. Think Joker meets Sherlocks Moriarty.
Its been said many times as a villain it's more engaging when The Doctor has a foe he can converse with, understand & who knows him the best 👌 The icing on the cake is being from the same planet so there's no better match up.
Finally you met Him.
You already know I love me a great villian.
What an introduction.
@@Syntell he is one hell of a psychopath
Now you guys are getting into the head and storytelling of St Russell T Davies. The man is a genius and now he's back for Ncuti. How cool is this???
I've gotta say, it's so awesome to watch new viewers of Who react in such a positive and excited way. I grew up watching the show and after a while you forget how exciting it was to experience these episodes and cliffhangers for the first time. It's great to have the experience again second hand
15:22 Since Rose brought him back to life. Jack basically has a healing abilities. Kind of like Wolverine. Hope this makes sense! 🙏🏽💪
Sudden immortality must be a tough thing to...face.
Jack running at the Tardis at the beginning of the episode was the last scene at the end of the finale of season one of Torchwood.
Season one of Torchwood takes place after season 2 of Doctor Who, and during Season 3 of Doctor Who.
You should probably watch Torchwood.
The Master is the Doctor's best friend. They grew up together. They went to the time lord academy together with a Time Lady known as the Rani.
They were all rebels and misfits together.
Even so the Master is the arch nemesis of the Doctor and tried to kill the Doctor multiple times.
The Master had nothing to do with starting the Time War.
The Master is a reflection of how Time Lords are. The Doctor acts differently from the rest of the Time Lords.
The Time Lords literally control all of creation and existence.
They have the power to delete powers from existence
19:34 Meet the Master! The Doctor's arch enemy. Pretty much like Sherlock Holmes and Professor James Moriarty! 🙏🏽💪
Our Yin and Yang
@@Syntell Decades of history between them on TV, but the show established they knew each other from childhood.
1:00 hearing you call it simply 'who' is great
In a sense (according to writer/producer Russell T Davies), it was the Doctor who fired the opening shot in the Time War. The 1975 story Genesis of the Daleks has the Time Lords sending him way back to prevent the original creation of the Daleks. They took that kind of personally.
Oh snaps! The shenanigans are about to begin! 🙏🏽💪
You got that right
And we're here for ALL OF IT!!!!
Lol I've always called my own OCD the 'Sound of Drums'!
Two straight episodes where the Doctor loses the TARDIS. Careless.
Please don't forget the mini-episode Time Crash, that takes place immediately after the end of this season!
Russell T Davies is a pioneer of queer representation on British TV. He got his big break in the late 90s writing the show Queer As Folk. Jack being how he is was certainly unusual for the time as gay characters had only really started being included in that last decade.
I actually met Sir Derek Jacobi last Saturday. He's a genuinely lovely person, but my god, despite only being in the role briefly, he was such a GREAT Master.
He has his own audio series set in and around the Time War and he is one of, if not the best incarnation of the character to date. They can be expensive, but if you're interested in some of the expanded media then I can't recommend his "War Master" series enough. Box set 1, "Only the Good", is so dark and truly amazing.
HERE COME THE DRUMS!!!!!
you guys are in for a treat now oooohh!!!
Four amazing episodes in a row
Six in a row, after 42 is all goog
I've binged all the videos and have finally caught up... This has been such an excellent opportunity to review old episodes leading up to the release of the new season! I've been adoring the commentary and humor that you guys bring to the table, it's nice to see an intelligent and adult perspective of a show that I saw as a child.
I'd forgotten just how exciting the back end of Season Three was. Love that you're loving it!
there's a doctor who spinoff, torchwood, series 1 of which takes place before this.
I am so excited to see how far you guys have made it already with the episodes. I can’t wait to see your reaction to the next one! ❤. Loved your reaction to this one. To me this is also such a memorable episode for my whovian heart ❤
The master and the doctor knew eachother at the academy on their home world. They fought in the classic series as enemy's quite a lot over the years especially the third doctor.
This is my favourite episode of New Who
you both are brilliant and so watchable. thanks for making the rewatching process a joy
You'll definitely like the next few episodes, I can guarantee.
Oh, the fun begins.... :) THANKS for this!!!! And I need a new word for how happy I am to know you're going to add Ncuti to the mix! Counting down the hours to Saturday night!
P.S. To Rekkai @nupefromdaville : *Maybe* it's them returning from 1969 and maybe not. The show is very open-ended because the BBC may want to add stories to the canon. It's what *we* see, not necessarily what happened. Ten and Martha could have had 50 adventures or more that we will never learn about until somebody writes one, more or all in a novel, comic or Big Finish audio adventure :) Real-life wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey :)
P.P.S. to both: The "blogging" comment is really smart writing because a) blogging was relatively new at the time (there was even a Black blogging organization forming back then!) and b) the BBC had created and was writing a Martha MySpace blog! So Martha *was* blogging at the time!!!
Absolutely! i love that about this too. There are so many things that can be thrown in at any point and not completely damage the timeline.
Let the insanity begin!!!!
@@Syntell Sorry, too busy watching your #XMen97 ep9 video to adequately respond to this :)
Although I loved Derek Jacobi's brief turn as the Master, John Simm's Master (the new incarnation of The Master) is my favourite Master. His manic energy matches that of David Tennant's 10th doctor. John Simm has described them as being "two sides of the same coin." This combination of these two characters with these actors is peak Doctor Who. The Doctor and The Master have a long history together including classic Who. It goes back to being childhood friends and therefore is a complex relationship. I've heard described as once they were best friends, now they are worst enemies but have never forgotten their past. BTW Capt Jack Harkness was the first Who character who wasn't heterosexual and the first openly pansexual character on any TV show.
2:19 lol loved watching your joy for seeing Jack again
18:22 such a cool reveal
Enjoyed your reaction to the episode and the Master’s appearance
Not sure if anyone told you this, but you guys need to watch season one of Torchwood. It ran at the same time as this season of Doctor Who. It ties in the story of how Jack came back.
Chills. Mission accomplished! I love this episode! I wish we had more with Derek Jacobi. His few minutes as the Master were Masterful.
I glad you have caught up with the character of the Master.
Syntell: I caught the Sho-Nuff reference. Wish you guys would bring commentary to The Last Dragon. Rekkai: I saw Time Cop back in the day.
Utopia has got to be one of my favourite episodes, in fact I only watched it 2 days ago 😍🇬🇧… I also get goosebumps every time I watch it 😍
Had to come back and like all the videos I watched on the plane. Chan-tho is a favorite and an actress who reappears in another character in who spinoff.
You are heading into a seam of really good episodes. The special effects and production values take a jump up and there are some epic storylines on the way. The Master is one of the Doctor’s arch-nemesis’s
Jack is my oldest niece's favorite Doctor Who character. You can always count on Jack hitting on everything and everyone with two legs.
Basically jacks power comes from rose who brought him back to life but couldn’t control it so she brought him back forever
For Jack this is after S1 of Torchwood
Derek Jacobi is a classically trained theatre actor, he’s also gay, (so not exactly beating the theatrical arts stereotype,) I remember about a decade ago he and Ian McKellen did a sitcom together named Vicious where they played a older gay couple.
I knew about Ian McKellen, but didn't know Jacobi was. I've got all his Master audios (still have the last 2 to listen to, been busy). He's a really great Master!
Sir Derek Jacobi - Professor Yana - has played the Master in a series of spin-off audios, dealing with what he got up to during the fabled Time War.
Now I know it's my birthday! I am so excited you are at this point in the show, Utopia throws a lot of stuff at us, calls back to a bunch of previous episodes, and leaves us on one hell of a cliffhanger. Starting with "Human Nature", Season 3 is absolute 🔥 The storytelling and acting is some of the best stuff Doctor Who has to offer.
So, I definitely understand Rekkai being frustrated with Martha giving everything away with her reaction to the watch, but I think the blame for that needs to go to the Doctor. Since Martha first met him, she's wanted to get to know him better, to learn about him, his world, and his people. Back in "Gridlock", she asked if they could visit his home planet, with the same sort of energy that Rose had when she asked to go see her father; there isn't any particular time or place that Martha wanted to visit, no personal journey where she tries to make the universe bend to her desires (not to say that Rose was trying to break time in "Father's Day", but rather that learning the Tardis was a time machine was what changed her mind from staying to going, because of the unique possibilities that presented to her), all Martha wants is to get to know the Doctor better, because of her crush on him. And the Doctor does share a little bit about hus planet at the end of that episode...but not likely much more than that. After all, when the Face of Boe tells him "You are not alone" and Martha questions what that means, the Doctor dismisses the notion that there could be other Time Lords around. Likely he didn't tell her about individual Time Lords from his past, or even if he did, he probably focused on the positive rather than the negative, as one is wont to do for those who are gone (such as Jackie painting a more flattering picture of Pete for Rose than was reality). So for Martha, seeing a watch that could mean another disguised Time Lord, she sees the possibility of the Doctor no longer being alone. She doesn't know that this one could end of being a nemesis, someone who shouldn't be made aware of the watch. And at least to her credit, she doesn't just tell him to open it then and there, she does have enough caution to try to pretend it's nothing, to tell the Doctor first. But the possibility that she, Martha, will be able to give this to the Doctor, so to speak, to be the one to tell him, "See? You're reall not as alone as you think you are!" makes it difficult for her to play it casual in that scene, because she is hoping against hope, and she's trying not to jump to conclusions until she's certain, but trying to suppress expectations means that energy will get released somehow. So although in hindsight, when we learn it's The Master, it's clear this is the kind of Time Lord who should have remained dormant, it can be frustrating that Martha got the ball rolling, I can understand why she wasn't able to maintain a poker face in that moment. I think if the Doctor had shared more, had told her the bad of the Time Lords along with the good, she would have been more prepared to be cautious, but because he doesn't share, she was working off the limited information she had, foremost being the solitude and loneliness of the Doctor. You don't go around saying "I'm the last of my people" if you're not missing the sense of belonging that comes from being one of many, of having a home and community of people like yourself.
Speaking of the watch, I think it is something that every Time Lord gets, or at least would use in this particular instance. The fact that it's a watch, which means it helps one keep time, makes it a fitting vessal to keep a Time Lord as well. At least, that's my guess on why a watch specifically, although I wonder if other timepieces would also work. The fact that the pocketwatch can be opened or shut likely makes it a better fit, design wise, than say an hourglass or wristwatch.
Oh, I'm not sure if anyone mentioned before, but showrunner Russell T. Davies also created the series Queer as Folk before he worked on Doctor Who, so there was a conscious choice to include LGBT+ elements when they could, especially with the inclusion of Captain Jack. When they first met him in season 1, the Doctor points out that he's from the 51st century, where attitudes are drastically different from the 21st century. "So many people, so little time." Although I guess Jack has literally all the time in the universe now!
There's a lot more to say about this episode and the show in general. Just gonna leave off that I was so looking forward to your reaction to the YANA reveal and I am so glad you included it here!! The first time I saw this episode, I felt the same way, actual chills that this was something foreshadowed at the beginning of the season. Such a good payoff to that mystery! Looking forward to the next one!
lol. I’m so glad you know Sho’nuff! You made me actually lol.
When watching the intro theme song pay attention to the beat
"Utopia" is how cliffhangers should be done.
the last few eps of this series are so good i love them so much
My popcorn is ready. Is yours?
35:04 Christopher Lambert was a different kind of Time Lord.
Yeah, Highlander confused with the 9th, gotta love it
Derek Jacobi. We only got him in one episode but I can’t imagine anyone doing it like he did. Look up and watch everything he’s ever done. He’s one of the best actors out there. A real legend.
The Master is the third big villain from the classic series, along with the Daleks and Cybermen. He is basically the evil opposite of the Doctor. They are both renegade Time Lords who ran away from Gallifrey. The Doctor has adventures, saves people and fixes things while the Master seeks power and sows chaos.
Professor Yana/The Master is played by British acting legend Sir Derek Jacobi. He mostly does TV and theatre so may be not so well known in the US. The instant change in demeanour when he reverts to the Master is impressive.
Jack basically became immortal when Rose revived him in "The Parting of the Ways". He will revive and heal whenever something fatal happens to him and he now ages very slowly.
Buckle up for the series finale!
The tattoo on the wild leader's face is a tire track.
Funny thing about captain jack…that’s how he is in real life too
Oh really. He gets down down 😂
Good for him.
He doesn't hold back so much in real life.
@@miller-joel Yeah, he's gotten in trouble :( (Read his Wiki, for those who don't know)
@@Syntellnot really. Workplace isn’t really an appropriate place for his brand of it. It was kind of an issue.
@@UserName-vb4lg oh, he was showing out at work.
Yeah, that’s definitely not a good move.
There's a mini-episode before the Christmas Special. I would really like to see your reactions to that.
Also, you should check out Good Omens. David Tennant and Michael Sheen are stellar in it.
Your reaction to the Master was great!
I watched some Classic Who when I was a teenager and I was so happy they brought the Master back!
"I know that voice" - Martha.
A few twists being set up or developed in this episode. You'll get there...
Derek Jacobi - such a great actor. So much like the first Doctor from 1963.
I love how this ties to the Family of Blood episode.
17:31, there have been Classic and NuWho episodes in which the Doctor meets future incarnations of himself. Some of them are good and some of them are very bad.
Been waiting for this one
7:25 dudes there is a video from the TH-cam channel MelodySheep that shows what scientist think the end of the universe will look like based upon current physics. The video is called "TIMELAPSE OF THE FUTURE: A Journey to the End of Time"
The time the Doctor and the gang are currently visiting is after what the Melodysheep video refers to as "The Age of Starlight". That's where we are now within the Age of Starlight, which if the physics of the video is correct is a very very very small fraction of time within the life of the universe.
Once the last star blinks out it's not the end. The universe just keeps getting older and older, colder and colder and stranger and stranger until it reaches a point where matter as we know can't exist anymore. It's quite mind boggling. Kudos to writers for trying to explore what this could be like.
This finale is for me, the best in new who... the master reveal and the fob watch blind sided me! I was stunned for a day or two.... outstanding....
You guys really got to check out the classic episodes. The master has been around since the early 70's
What's his power?
Glad you asked.
When Rose was the Bad Wolf entity, she did more that resurrect Jack. She used that same Time Lord power to make Jack a fixed point in time immortal.
He must always remain in the same exact condition he was in when Rose resurrected him.
If you watched Torchwood Children of Earth then it would be even more apparent
Children Of Earth is a work of genius.
@@fayesouthall6604 yes it is
Classic Dr Who, childhood friends but now mortal enemies. Syntell, you are going to lose your bet. Did either of you notice what Martha said? " Wait, I know that voice"
Captain Jack is one of my Fav characters!
Pretty much every episode from here on out ranges from good to great, a few misses, but you're in for a hell of a ride!
The way I see it, Blink is an incredible bit of standalone Television that also just happens to be a Doctor Who episode.
It's quality is undeniable but it being so far removed from both The Doctor and companion is what keeps it from being one of my fave episodes.
I actually like both the Human Nature / Family of Blood 2 parter and Utopia more than Blink. So funnily enough for me Blink is the weaker episode sandwiched between 2 stronger episodes lol
Seriously, you guys need to do an episode each day. I hate waiting for your next one ;)
18:24 This was incredible! 🙏🏽💪
Goosebumps was for real
Remember when Superman was the last survivor of Krypton, and then he got a dog, a cousin, and a whole city in a bottle?
And prisoners from the Phantom Zone!
@@R.senals_Arsenal A whole bunch of them.
This episode is mad but it has Sir Derek Jacobi in it so you know it's going somewhere and then you find out why. He's a great actor and he changes his face in a moment.
Hmmmm.... martha knows his voice....
John Simm is an amazing actor in Life On Mars
Basically, if you had watched Torchwood, the end of the first series of Torchwood is just before this episode.
The Face of Boe to The Doctor in Gridlock: "You are not alone."
