The Cybermen never stood a chance, they were built from 21st century Earth technology, while the Daleks were capable of fighting the Time Lords, the most advanced civilisation in the universe.
I loved that your reaction to the ending was basically identical to the Doctor’s- flood of tears followed by utter confusion. The Dalek and Cybermen face off was great- the Dalek’s have been in the show since the very first series in 1963, and the Cybermen since 1966, but this was the first time the two had faced off properly. I think the Dalek’s probably would have won that one without the Doctor being about. I remember when I watched this one as a kid we were on holiday and my dad had to dash me back to the holiday cottage to watch this while my mum and sister stayed at the entertainment pavilion because I couldn’t stand the idea of waiting a week and watching the recording when we got home. I watched it with my tenth Doctor action figure, who I refused to put down for the rest of the holiday and beyond because I was worried he’d get sad without Rose around. This might be why I got a Rose action figure for Christmas that year.
Oh my gosh, that is the most adorable story 😭😭 I'm sure the Doctor felt so much happier with you to keep him company! I'm quite impressed they managed to get out action figures so quickly, to be honest! I need to get one hehe 🤣
@julesreacts Oh yeah, the BBC jumped on the memorabilia and toy/action figure marketing right away post 2005. They did have a great deal of experience as they have been licensing Doctor who memorabilia since the 1960's. There were Dalek figures from one or two companies in the 60's, Dalek figures from a different company and Doctor and Cyberman dolls from another in the 70s, and then yet another did a bunch of (not too spot-on) action figures and a pretty good replica of the Tardis console in the 80s. Another company did some much better Dalek figures in the 90's Then when the show came back in the 2000's a company called Character Options got the licensing and has done a bunch of excellent action figures ever since. These days, you can find a Tardis, Doctor, Dalek, or companion figure pretty easily.
@@GavinsBazaar313 Cybermen all see humans equally and treat each other equally too. A hive mind with each as a piece of the machine. Meanwhile, Daleks are very much unequal. Some daleks are better than others, all other species are inferior to daleks and even among the inferior species, Daleks see some as "more important" than others
One of, if not the most emotional episode. Everyone crying at some point, and you catch yourself crying too. I remember my jaw dropping the first time watching, Rose was saying it's the story of how she died.
Weird seeing how _young_ Tennant looks in these looking back on this season. We nearly got a spinoff staring Rose set in Pete's World before RTD thought better of it since it would have reduced the power of that ending. The woman portraying the Bride in the closing scene here is Catherine Tate, at the time best known for sketch comedy. You can imagine how nervous fandom was about the next episode due to that ;)
An important fact about David Tennant and Catherine Tate is that they're best friends in real life. Always 'round each other's houses. So we all knew they'd have great chemistry when we saw them together in this.
@@raphaelperry8159 In fairness, they also have said in interviews that Catherine being smuggled in to film the ending of Doomsday was the first time they met. They have great chemistry in everything they do together- I agree- but we didn't know that at the time. Catherine in Doctor Who was very much like Jim Carey in The Truman Show in that everything they had been in up to that point was comedy, so everyone was worried about their abilities to carry emotional scenes- only to be utterly blown away when they get their chance to shine. Donna Noble is (and always has been) my favourite companion and I'm exited to see Jules' reactions to her series!
It’s worth noting that in all the history of Doctor Who, since 1963, this was the first time that the Daleks and Cybermen, both iconic villains from the 60s, met and faced off against each other. That little hallway chat is so much fun. Now give yourself a moment or two to compose yourself for the romp that is the Christmas special. Often I’ve seen people binge the show and not allow time to process and recover from the trauma that is Doomsday’s ending, while we who watched it on first release had several months between. Still, your timing is impeccable, with the Christmas special coming just in time for Christmas this year!
I love how much you love these characters. Ecclestone was a great introduction to the show and you loved him. Then Tennant comes along and all the emotions get turned up to maximum. And this is both the joy and the curse of this show. We keep meeting and falling in love with new Doctors and companions, but that means we keep losing Doctors and companions that we love. There truly is no show like it.
this is the episode i always wait for. even after all these years i still cry my eyes out. though i did forget this is exactly when catherine tate ((not revealing her name yet even though im sure you're farther along then this upload haha)) showed up but you're going to LOVE them together. it's refreshing to have a character like her around because of the sibling vibes they give off. she is my favorite companion by FAR
Ive always wondered how many people connected the Doctor's reaction to Rose's declaration of love to the Girl in the Fireplace, when the King of France responds to the Doctor's refusal to tell the king what was in the letter left for him by Renette. "Quite right," seems to be the go to phrase for people who are absolutely sure of their place in the universe.
Even having watched this episode many times, the perfomances are still top notch. Hats off to Billie Piper in particular. There are still some amazing companions to come, but Rose is a fan favorite and not without good cause. If you didn't recognize the lady in the wedding dress, that is comedian Catherine Tate and she's not bothered.
I love the illustration of what a difference choice makes in this episode. The Doctor was ready to give Rose up. He was prepared for that. But when she chose him and she got taken, it suddenly became much, much harder. Because it was no longer either of their choices. Re: Mickey and Rose, you're right. They aren't going back to being a couple. They have been there done that. But also, the Pete's World dimension does run faster than ours. Mickey has spent a couple years there, while for Rose, it might have been a few months since he left the TARDIS. You'll notice that there is no vestige of resentment in Mickey for the Doctor by these episodes. There was the last time he was around, even though he liked the Doctor too and wanted to travel for a time. But now, there's nothing but respect for the Doctor left in Mickey, and he is very much his own person. But he has also been through too much with Rose and the Tylers in general. He will always be as good as family for them all.
Shortly after this aired the actor who played Dr Singh, Raji James, was on a podcast with his friends comedians Ray Peacock and Ed Gamble and they made so many jokes about Raji being sucked to death by a Dalek.
I love this finale, it's so sad, but the fact that we get so emotional is because we've connected so much with the characters. Rose is my favorite companion for so many reasons. The first episode of the first season of "New Who" is titled Rose. Everything has been focused on her since the reboot. The fact that everyone is reunited at the end but Rose is still sad is also so powerful. She has her mom and her dad together again which is what she wanted, but it's not enough anymore to make her happy.
Such a wonderful finale. Great writing, so many emotions, such spectacular music, and one of the daleks' best lines: "You are superior in only one way! You are better at dying!"
It was fun how the Daleks and the Cybermen threw shade at each other, "The Daleks have no regard for elegance", (Cybermen)"Obviously." I get why the Cybermen didn't recognise the Daleks, but why wouldn't the Daleks know who the Cybermen were?
The Doctor laughing in the Dalek’s face and saying “the Doctor will not,” is probably my favorite Tennant move of his while run. 😂 Mickey’s face when Jackie said there was never anyone else is gold. My boy has had one of the best development arc of all nu whu secondary companions. And that’s usually how companions appear after the departure of one. They either start off as an ensemble and they leave one at a time. Or the doctor just meets a new person shortly after the departure of the previous one. Did like that Jackie got her family back though. And you’re hopes not all that foolish.
When this series first aired it was leaked several weeks early that Billie Piper was leaving the show. This was right before the Satan Pit had the Beast claiming she would die in battle. Taken all together we went into this finale not asking whether Rose would actually die, but wondering what it would be that killed her . The fact that she actually survived, even with this sad ending, was almost as surprising as the last minute appearance of the runaway bride. As for what's to come, I actually think the writers had only just found their feet; things get really interesting from here.
I'm so glad I found your reaction channel. I've seen this episode a few times now but watching you get emotional over the sadder scenes made me reach for something to wipe my eyes!
This episode aired the same week as the 2006 World Cup. Radio Times did variant covers of a team of Cybermen and a team of Daleks on a football pitch, the lead holding a football. Rose was for me the best companion for the Doctor, i was really sad that she left, 😢 But that ending 2 seconds later. What, What, What.🤭
While filming on set, right after David's line gets cut off, he turned and walked away quickly off set and left without looking back or saying anything else, leaving Billie to finish acting out the rest of the scene crying, she didn't know he was going to do that.
"What are you gonna do now?" "Same old life. Last of the Time Lords." "On your own?" "Why? Do you want to come?" "What are you gonna do now?" "Same old life. Last of the Time Lords." "On your own?" *nods* A nice little parallel there. It's even more hard hitting since the top exchange is from her first episode with this Doctor :(
Saw this episode 3 times and it never fails to make me cry so hard.😢😢😢 I've been a massive fan of Billie Piper since I was a kid and to see her departure from the show broke me in half.
Watching this in the summer of 2006, I was 7 years old, we’d only known Rose as anyone new to the show would, all those of my generation who started their love of the show with the show’s revival, our hearts were torn out that night. Rose was written as the post Time War therapy companion, the kind of person the Doctor needed to show him life and love and happiness again, so to see her go out like this, sealed off in a parallel world was devastating for everyone. Although from a writing perspective Rose as much as we loved her, had outstayed her welcome. The show needed new characters to take the character of the Doctor further, and you’ll begin to see that in the next season. This is a great two parter, maybe in hindsight ruined by the very easy solution of sucking the Daleks and Cybermen back through the Void, plus the bigger elephant in the room that this was the FIRST TIME in the show’s history since it began in the 60s that these two enemies had met and duked it out, something fans had ached for for years, and it was wholly one sided with not much shown of the battle between them. But it’s full of great singular moments, the Yvonne Cyberman who retained her last emotional moments always gives me chills seeing that tear run down the face (even if it’s physically impossible given that it’s not a human body in the suit just the brain but anywho), the Dalek’s lines about pest control and the C-Men being better at dying are utterly iconic in Doctor Who culture, Murray Gold’s Doomsday music (that you hear after the breach closes) is widely regarded as some of the finest music composed for a TV show ever, and the way the goodbye on the beach is handled is superbly done, strums all the heartstrings. Even if the high tear stained emotion of the moment is ruined by the sudden appearance of Catherine Tate haha Great reaction hun “Rose Tyler…I lo-“ 🥺😭
This is such a sad episode, but watching your reaction has made me realise that it's actually a lot happier than it first appears. I have always loved Jackie and Pete's reunion and new start. Thank you! ❤
The whole Story Arc was build Up over so many episodes. Made every one of us Connect to the Characters so much. And this way is the most intense way to do a finale of a whole Story Arc. And yet making the most bittersweet ending possible. Rose has a Happy end. Reunited with her Family that broke Appart 20 years ago... And yet seperated from the doctor.😭 But the Cliffhanger is insane too. I Love Tennants doctor being completely confused. 🤣🤣
I've been waiting for this! Loved your reaction to this episode. The music score that plays when Rose and the Doctor are separated is just bittersweet. It perfectly encapsulates the mood because Rose isn't technically 'dead', but she's trapped in a different universe to that of the one the Doctor is in. Also I genuinely feel bad for Yvonne Hartman (the head of the Torchwood Institute). She had a terrible fate, and fought back against her conversion which meant she still retained her humanity. I wonder what happened to her. Because she technically didn't cross the void, as her conversion took place on our world so she didn't have background radiation on her.
Thank you 💜 I feel so sad for Rose, but at least she's not alone... she's with her family, the one she always wanted with a mum and dad. And good old Micky! It was such a sad finale 😭😭 two in a row, now!
@@chanceneck8072The song is called “Doomsday”. There’s another called “Rose’s Theme” which plays often whenever there’s a scene about/that affects Rose.
I knew this one was going to wreck you and you didn't disappoint. :) I love that at the same time as the ending is so emotional you also point out the positives - Jackie and Pete together, Rose kind of with her parents, Mickey being there as a friend. These are all good things. And yes, we all echoed your 'What' at the end when we saw it first. Thanks for your great reactions through this season, Jules. Looking forward to the Christmas special and then onto S3, it's quite the ride.
Hey, Juliette! One of my favorite things about this episode is how the Cybermen and Daleks are constantly throwing shade at one another😆 This was a special moment for the show because while it has always been apparent that the Doctor cares for his companions, (especially Sarah Jane) he had never used the "L" word before. Of course, he doesn't say it here either, but I think we all know what he was going to say😊 Just like "Doctors", companions come and go and just when you think that one can never be replaced, you'll find yourself loving a new one
My goodness, the goodbye was so heartbreaking 😭😭 When Rose said she loved him.... and then he really was about to say it back 😭😭 Sigh.... I'm still sad thinking about it! But you are right, I never thought I'd love another doctor as much as I did the previous, and I'm very happy in my Tennant era right now! It's something I love about Who. I can't quite believe how easy it is to love a new doctor or companion 💜
Wow Julies. Thank you for another trip down memory lane with this old Dr who. Forgotten how well written, produced and acted were. Love your reactions. You will love the new assistant - Donna. X
I forgot a lot of things about this episode because I'm a fan of Rose I think I just burnt it out of my memory, but now I remember having this feeling almost like going through a break up, just finding hard to get over her and thinking that it'll never be the same. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you'll love the next one, it's defiantly interesting.
This isn't the first time Doctor Who has inflicted major emotional damage on us all, and it *certainly* will not be the last, but this was probably one of the bigger instances of it this far into the show. At least Rose is still alive, even if she's trapped in another reality. Plenty of other people have called attention to the amazing piece of soundtrack, Doomsday, by Doctor Who's composer Murray Gold, so I will too. It's incredible. It really captures the feeling of having to trudge on through loss and heartbreak, as Rose did here, and as the Doctor now must. Still, the show must go on. If you want something to cheer you up a bit after this, I'd recommend looking up "The B*tch Fight of Canary Wharf" by Joe Vevers here on TH-cam. It's an even more comedic take on that first conversation/confrontation between the Daleks and the Cybermen.
I was both anticipating and not anticipating this one. RTD knows how to write one hell of a goodbye. But as sad as I was for Rose... there is something about that bride... LOL
This show is really, really good at making sad endings into something that is not a complete tragedy. Rose doesn't actually die. She does get left, but she's with her friends and family, so it could be _much_ worse. Also, I didn't really notice the first time I saw this episode, but the haunting song that plays when Rose is lost (Doomsday by Murray Gold) is phenomenal and has become extremely popular in certain circles. It's even been used in parodies of shows that are unrelated to Doctor Who. Murray Gold does a good chunk of the music for Doctor Who (if not all of it), and some of his best work is still to come.
This is what I loved about Doctor Who at the end of it series. When something sad has happened, there always something funny than happened at the end to make you laugh even though you just been crying and then all of a sudden you’re laughing. 😂
You should watch the behind the scenes of doomsday, the ending scene is even more heartbreaking because once they call cut billie and david just hug for like a good few minutes and its so wholesome
This being my re-watch, and having already seen your Season 4 love for Donna, i love how you reacted to her at the end even more than i did the day you posted this on here.
As i re-watch your comments after seeing how teary you were believing that was the end of Rose, i felt guilty at the time for that, but i also don't like giving spoilers, and knew how happy you'd be later x
You'll learn as the different seasons come and go that Doctor Who has a habit of hitting you in the feels when you least expect it. But theres plenty action and humour mixed in so the journey isnt so depressing
Excellent reaction, Julles. This is one of the things that keeps Doctor Who fresh, the changes in cast every so often. It's one of the very few tv series' that can, it seems, always survive such changes. Each change gives it slightly different feel to the series that keeps it fresh.
Trev 💜 it's always so lovely to see you. I hope you have been well! I cannot believe we are here at the end of another year. Honestly, where does it go?! I very much agree with you!! I never would have thought the constant change in main characters would work but it really does and I adore it 💜
This season 2 finale was so good. I haven't seen it in a long time and it was great experiencing it again. I think the good thing about your reactions is that I get a sense of seeing it for the first time through you, which has been amazing so far. I think it was smart that you took measures to avoid spoilers. The internet can be a minefield for them! The good thing about Doctor Who is that when one chapter closes, it opens up all sorts of possibilities for the next,. What better way to end the episode after so much sorrow than to start the xmas special with a teaser of a bride in the TARDIS! The way you kept repeating "what!" in confusion along with the bride cracked me up! I bet you're going to love the xmas special and I can't wait to come along for the ride 🙂
The scary thing about those millions of Daleks: They are ones that were actively IN the Time War itself fighting the Timelords, so basically war veterans used to fighting much more powerful enemies were unleashed on humans and the Cybermen, they stood zero chance against even one of these beasts.
Just a reminder that during their stay on the bitter pill while dealing with the beast in the pit Rose was told she would die in battle, so very soon. And after the battle of canary wharf she has been declared dead on our OG earth
One of the best eps. Such a great love story. So heartbreaking. This was Dr Who at its best. Rose was our anchor, connecting us to the real world, along with her family, who are so relatable. Rose Forever ❤
You made it through! It's one of the more difficult episodes (emotionally) to weather, and we all have the same reaction (even after seeing it multiple times). Excited to see you start in on the next series!
In the olden days, companions generally hung around for 1 or 2 seasons. Only 3 lasted longer than that - one being Sarah Jane. (Ok, and 1 other via a technicality). So, to "lose" Rose after 2 seasons felt pretty "right". As I noted last time, it was very very very rare for a companion to die, so the monologue at the start of this story about being the day that Rose died, and then faking it out, I was not thrilled... (Hence making my video linked in the other comment on this video.) This story though - WOW! Daleks and Cybermen. Brilliant, and bringing together numerous storylines.
Happens every time... whether it's a re-watch, or even just a reaction video, the end of this episode breaks me to pieces! And every time, I let it... it's like a pressure valve that keeps the ole boiler from exploding by letting out a bit of steam, emotions need to be vented once in a while. ;-]
Told you something the beast said was true and to look out for it... Rose is "dead". "died in battle" of torchwood / cannary worf. I wouldn't just walk in to have my brain removed. but I love how she came back.
I remember thinking way back when this new iteration of the show always tugged at the feels, but then I realized how it would probably make a career of absolutely breaking our hearts. Yeah, I was right.
Such an epic spectacular battle between the daleks and the cybermen but also such a sad season finale, u really do feel all the emotions between both the doctor and Rose and it’s truly heartbreaking every time u watch it, just makes this finale stand out even more. 😢 On a brighter note tho the Christmas special and then series 3 are both pretty good fun, looking forward to u reacting to them both. 😁
The scene with the Dalek and the two Cybermen is commonly referred to as the bitch fight of canary wharf in the doctor who fandom there is even a fan made edit which is hilarious to watch
Btw uou realise at this point in the timeline, there is a young girl entering her early teens called Amelia Pond, still thinking of the raggety Doctor she met lol.
I'm American, all the accents are "some English thing." I'm told the Doctor's accent changed when he regenerated. It was "northern" then he mirrored Rose.
I watched the whole of new doctor who last year and i loved it so much i started watching your reactions since the first episode because reactions almost make me feel like im watching something for the first time again. Been waiting for you to get to this episode since you started the whole series because this was the one that broke me the most and you actually put a really nice positive spin on this otherwise absolutely heartbreaking and gut wrenching ending of Rose. Cant wait to keep expiriencing all the other episodes for the first time again!!
I've just binged your new who reactions in 2 days flat, incredibly exited for you to see the rest, Doctor Who is amazing, and i can't sit still when new people learn how good it is

"This is obvious"

This is not war! This is PEST CONTROL!
E
I suppose I never thought about the cybers cybermen like that 🤔
This is not war. This is pest control.
i love the line " This is not war.. this is pest-control!" ^^
"I am burning up a sun just to say goodbye"...the single most crushing line in TV series history. Fantastic stuff
"I'm a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar."

Well I was in the US and in my 30s and pretty devastated. I was a little thankful for the confusing comic relief with the bride’s appearance.

The Cybermen are superior in only one thing: dying.

She has her mom and her dad together again which is what she wanted, but it's not enough anymore to make her happy.
Such a wonderful finale. Great writing, so many emotions, such spectacular music, and one of the daleks' best lines: "You are superior in only one way! You are better at dying!"
this is not war, it´s pest control
It was fun how the Daleks and the Cybermen threw shade at each other, "The Daleks have no regard for elegance",
(Cybermen)"Obviously."
I get why the Cybermen didn't recognise the Daleks, but why wouldn't the Daleks know who the Cybermen were?
@@barkingmonkee because the old cybermen looked different....
THIS IS NOT WAR. THIS IS CYBERBULLYING!
The Doctor laughing in the Dalek’s face and saying “the Doctor will not,” is probably my favorite Tennant move of his while run.
😂 Mickey’s face when Jackie said there was never anyone else is gold. My boy has had one of the best development arc of all nu whu secondary companions.
And that’s usually how companions appear after the departure of one. They either start off as an ensemble and they leave one at a time. Or the doctor just meets a new person shortly after the departure of the previous one.
Did like that Jackie got her family back though.
And you’re hopes not all that foolish.
I have never cried so hard as I did when I watched Doomsday for the first time. I still cry when I watch it and I have seen it quite a few times now.
When this series first aired it was leaked several weeks early that Billie Piper was leaving the show. This was right before the Satan Pit had the Beast claiming she would die in battle. Taken all together we went into this finale not asking whether Rose would actually die, but wondering what it would be that killed her . The fact that she actually survived, even with this sad ending, was almost as surprising as the last minute appearance of the runaway bride.
As for what's to come, I actually think the writers had only just found their feet; things get really interesting from here.
I'm so glad I found your reaction channel. I've seen this episode a few times now but watching you get emotional over the sadder scenes made me reach for something to wipe my eyes!
This episode aired the same week as the 2006 World Cup. Radio Times did variant covers of a team of Cybermen and a team of Daleks on a football pitch, the lead holding a football.
Rose was for me the best companion for the Doctor, i was really sad that she left, 😢
But that ending 2 seconds later.
What, What, What.🤭
I love that they gave us zero time to grieve 🤣
21:20 hahaha, the Doctor goes "what? What?? WHAT?!" and the next three words out of your mouth are also "what" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Syncing 🤣
I love how Pete's World is just excessively blue.
While filming on set, right after David's line gets cut off, he turned and walked away quickly off set and left without looking back or saying anything else, leaving Billie to finish acting out the rest of the scene crying, she didn't know he was going to do that.
"What are you gonna do now?"
"Same old life. Last of the Time Lords."
"On your own?"
"Why? Do you want to come?"
"What are you gonna do now?"
"Same old life. Last of the Time Lords."
"On your own?"
*nods*
A nice little parallel there. It's even more hard hitting since the top exchange is from her first episode with this Doctor :(
Saw this episode 3 times and it never fails to make me cry so hard.😢😢😢
I've been a massive fan of Billie Piper since I was a kid and to see her departure from the show broke me in half.
She's just been amazing throughout 💜
Watching this in the summer of 2006, I was 7 years old, we’d only known Rose as anyone new to the show would, all those of my generation who started their love of the show with the show’s revival, our hearts were torn out that night. Rose was written as the post Time War therapy companion, the kind of person the Doctor needed to show him life and love and happiness again, so to see her go out like this, sealed off in a parallel world was devastating for everyone. Although from a writing perspective Rose as much as we loved her, had outstayed her welcome. The show needed new characters to take the character of the Doctor further, and you’ll begin to see that in the next season.
This is a great two parter, maybe in hindsight ruined by the very easy solution of sucking the Daleks and Cybermen back through the Void, plus the bigger elephant in the room that this was the FIRST TIME in the show’s history since it began in the 60s that these two enemies had met and duked it out, something fans had ached for for years, and it was wholly one sided with not much shown of the battle between them.
But it’s full of great singular moments, the Yvonne Cyberman who retained her last emotional moments always gives me chills seeing that tear run down the face (even if it’s physically impossible given that it’s not a human body in the suit just the brain but anywho), the Dalek’s lines about pest control and the C-Men being better at dying are utterly iconic in Doctor Who culture, Murray Gold’s Doomsday music (that you hear after the breach closes) is widely regarded as some of the finest music composed for a TV show ever, and the way the goodbye on the beach is handled is superbly done, strums all the heartstrings.
Even if the high tear stained emotion of the moment is ruined by the sudden appearance of Catherine Tate haha
Great reaction hun
“Rose Tyler…I lo-“ 🥺😭
This is such a sad episode, but watching your reaction has made me realise that it's actually a lot happier than it first appears. I have always loved Jackie and Pete's reunion and new start.
Thank you! ❤
The whole Story Arc was build Up over so many episodes. Made every one of us Connect to the Characters so much.
And this way is the most intense way to do a finale of a whole Story Arc. And yet making the most bittersweet ending possible. Rose has a Happy end. Reunited with her Family that broke Appart 20 years ago...
And yet seperated from the doctor.😭
But the Cliffhanger is insane too. I Love Tennants doctor being completely confused. 🤣🤣
I've been waiting for this! Loved your reaction to this episode. The music score that plays when Rose and the Doctor are separated is just bittersweet. It perfectly encapsulates the mood because Rose isn't technically 'dead', but she's trapped in a different universe to that of the one the Doctor is in. Also I genuinely feel bad for Yvonne Hartman (the head of the Torchwood Institute). She had a terrible fate, and fought back against her conversion which meant she still retained her humanity. I wonder what happened to her. Because she technically didn't cross the void, as her conversion took place on our world so she didn't have background radiation on her.
Sadly, I imagine she got sucked through. She may not have had background radiation, but the Cybersuit they stuck her brain in probably did.
@@jessicapatton6523 Ah, yeah that’s true. That’s sad for her!
Thank you 💜
I feel so sad for Rose, but at least she's not alone... she's with her family, the one she always wanted with a mum and dad. And good old Micky! It was such a sad finale 😭😭 two in a row, now!
I think the name of the song even is "Rose".... 😢
@@chanceneck8072The song is called “Doomsday”. There’s another called “Rose’s Theme” which plays often whenever there’s a scene about/that affects Rose.
I knew this one was going to wreck you and you didn't disappoint. :) I love that at the same time as the ending is so emotional you also point out the positives - Jackie and Pete together, Rose kind of with her parents, Mickey being there as a friend. These are all good things. And yes, we all echoed your 'What' at the end when we saw it first. Thanks for your great reactions through this season, Jules. Looking forward to the Christmas special and then onto S3, it's quite the ride.
“I’m burning up a sun to say goodbye…” 😢
😭😭
The doctors scream when she is getting pulled into the void is so passionate
Oh Jules, I watched these seasons for the first time around 2 years back and you have no idea how hard I cried in this episode. I was HEARTBROKEN
Hey, Juliette! One of my favorite things about this episode is how the Cybermen and Daleks are constantly throwing shade at one another😆
This was a special moment for the show because while it has always been apparent that the Doctor cares for his companions, (especially Sarah Jane) he had never used the "L" word before. Of course, he doesn't say it here either, but I think we all know what he was going to say😊
Just like "Doctors", companions come and go and just when you think that one can never be replaced, you'll find yourself loving a new one
My goodness, the goodbye was so heartbreaking 😭😭 When Rose said she loved him.... and then he really was about to say it back 😭😭 Sigh.... I'm still sad thinking about it! But you are right, I never thought I'd love another doctor as much as I did the previous, and I'm very happy in my Tennant era right now! It's something I love about Who. I can't quite believe how easy it is to love a new doctor or companion 💜
Don’t know how many times I’ve watched this episode but the ending still gets to me
the actress at the end is Catherine Tate, she and David Tennant are great together. they did Much Ado About Nothing together.
😂😂😂 I love the ending of this episode, the classic David Tendant "What,what, WHAT?"
One of the most emotional episodes.
When Jackie sees her ‘dead’ husband omg it’s incredible 😊
Wow Julies. Thank you for another trip down memory lane with this old Dr who. Forgotten how well written, produced and acted were. Love your reactions. You will love the new assistant - Donna. X
What an episode! An ending worthy of some tears, but at least she's got her family. And who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Little Red Riding Hood.
Welcome to the Cybermen Dalek rap battle. Trading electronic insults. 😂
I loved that 🤣🤣
I forgot a lot of things about this episode because I'm a fan of Rose I think I just burnt it out of my memory, but now I remember having this feeling almost like going through a break up, just finding hard to get over her and thinking that it'll never be the same. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you'll love the next one, it's defiantly interesting.
This isn't the first time Doctor Who has inflicted major emotional damage on us all, and it *certainly* will not be the last, but this was probably one of the bigger instances of it this far into the show. At least Rose is still alive, even if she's trapped in another reality.
Plenty of other people have called attention to the amazing piece of soundtrack, Doomsday, by Doctor Who's composer Murray Gold, so I will too. It's incredible. It really captures the feeling of having to trudge on through loss and heartbreak, as Rose did here, and as the Doctor now must. Still, the show must go on.
If you want something to cheer you up a bit after this, I'd recommend looking up "The B*tch Fight of Canary Wharf" by Joe Vevers here on TH-cam. It's an even more comedic take on that first conversation/confrontation between the Daleks and the Cybermen.
I was both anticipating and not anticipating this one. RTD knows how to write one hell of a goodbye. But as sad as I was for Rose... there is something about that bride... LOL
"This is not war.. This is pest control!" Yaaaaas slay queen etc
This show is really, really good at making sad endings into something that is not a complete tragedy. Rose doesn't actually die. She does get left, but she's with her friends and family, so it could be _much_ worse.
Also, I didn't really notice the first time I saw this episode, but the haunting song that plays when Rose is lost (Doomsday by Murray Gold) is phenomenal and has become extremely popular in certain circles. It's even been used in parodies of shows that are unrelated to Doctor Who. Murray Gold does a good chunk of the music for Doctor Who (if not all of it), and some of his best work is still to come.
This is what I loved about Doctor Who at the end of it series. When something sad has happened, there always something funny than happened at the end to make you laugh even though you just been crying and then all of a sudden you’re laughing. 😂
I'm absolutley loving these reactions. Cant wait for you to get to Smith and Capaldi. You are in for such thrills x
Thank you, Robbie! We've just reached Smith now and it's soooo good 🤗
You should watch the behind the scenes of doomsday, the ending scene is even more heartbreaking because once they call cut billie and david just hug for like a good few minutes and its so wholesome
This being my re-watch, and having already seen your Season 4 love for Donna, i love how you reacted to her at the end even more than i did the day you posted this on here.
As i re-watch your comments after seeing how teary you were believing that was the end of Rose, i felt guilty at the time for that, but i also don't like giving spoilers, and knew how happy you'd be later x
Jon, thank you!! You're awesome 💜🤗
You'll learn as the different seasons come and go that Doctor Who has a habit of hitting you in the feels when you least expect it. But theres plenty action and humour mixed in so the journey isnt so depressing
Over 15 years since I first saw this and it breaks me every time.
"And I suppose... if it's my last chance to say it... Rose Tyler..."
Excellent reaction, Julles. This is one of the things that keeps Doctor Who fresh, the changes in cast every so often. It's one of the very few tv series' that can, it seems, always survive such changes. Each change gives it slightly different feel to the series that keeps it fresh.
Trev 💜 it's always so lovely to see you. I hope you have been well! I cannot believe we are here at the end of another year. Honestly, where does it go?!
I very much agree with you!! I never would have thought the constant change in main characters would work but it really does and I adore it 💜
This season 2 finale was so good. I haven't seen it in a long time and it was great experiencing it again. I think the good thing about your reactions is that I get a sense of seeing it for the first time through you, which has been amazing so far. I think it was smart that you took measures to avoid spoilers. The internet can be a minefield for them!
The good thing about Doctor Who is that when one chapter closes, it opens up all sorts of possibilities for the next,.
What better way to end the episode after so much sorrow than to start the xmas special with a teaser of a bride in the TARDIS! The way you kept repeating "what!" in confusion along with the bride cracked me up! I bet you're going to love the xmas special and I can't wait to come along for the ride 🙂
I remember this episode. It was really sad.
"What the hell is this place ??!!" I can't wait for the next x)
The scary thing about those millions of Daleks: They are ones that were actively IN the Time War itself fighting the Timelords, so basically war veterans used to fighting much more powerful enemies were unleashed on humans and the Cybermen, they stood zero chance against even one of these beasts.
the only issue I have with this episode is how did Pete know to come catch Rose when she was falling?
Also, how come he was not promptly pulled into the void. Sometimes you just have to overlook these little plot holes and simply enjoy the show.
And how could he possibly materialize in exactly the right place at exactly the right time to catch her? It really doesn’t work.
The saddest ending of all companions but soon the latest and best companion you will see
The Doctor did say that hope is a good thing to hold onto. Take it to heart 😉.
Awww 💜
‘I made my choice a long time ago and I’m never gonna leave you’ my heart 😭
5:45 "I did my duty" wasn't a valid justification during the Nuremberg trials either.
The tradition with Dr. Who is there's will always be different Doctors and companions change is what kept the show going in the last 60 years.
And it works so well! It works.... and it hurts 😭
@20:33 Billie Piper, cementing her place in thespian history.
One thing I always wondered about is if the 'Pete's World" universe had a Captain Jack of any kind. Guess we'll never know.
Good call on watching the specials and all. They are integral to the progression. And besides, they nice stories.
I love how the Cybermen are too stupid to realize that anything they try to do is utterly useless to defeat even a single Dalek.
Just a reminder that during their stay on the bitter pill while dealing with the beast in the pit Rose was told she would die in battle, so very soon. And after the battle of canary wharf she has been declared dead on our OG earth
It's sad to say goodbye to Rose, but it's wonderful to meet a new friend. 😊
One of the best eps. Such a great love story. So heartbreaking.
This was Dr Who at its best. Rose was our anchor, connecting us to the real world, along with her family, who are so relatable.
Rose Forever ❤
You made it through! It's one of the more difficult episodes (emotionally) to weather, and we all have the same reaction (even after seeing it multiple times). Excited to see you start in on the next series!
It was such a sad goodbye 😭😭
In the olden days, companions generally hung around for 1 or 2 seasons. Only 3 lasted longer than that - one being Sarah Jane. (Ok, and 1 other via a technicality). So, to "lose" Rose after 2 seasons felt pretty "right". As I noted last time, it was very very very rare for a companion to die, so the monologue at the start of this story about being the day that Rose died, and then faking it out, I was not thrilled... (Hence making my video linked in the other comment on this video.) This story though - WOW! Daleks and Cybermen. Brilliant, and bringing together numerous storylines.
The music for this episode is fabulous. Murray Gold is a genius.
Happens every time... whether it's a re-watch, or even just a reaction video, the end of this episode breaks me to pieces! And every time, I let it... it's like a pressure valve that keeps the ole boiler from exploding by letting out a bit of steam, emotions need to be vented once in a while. ;-]
I absolutely agree! It is very much like a pressure valve haha 🤣😭
your in for such a enjoyable roller coaster with doctor who, many whimsical doctors and moments to come!!
I am a 52 year old bloke from Bradford England. I love the daleks best villains ever.
I love them, too!!
Told you something the beast said was true and to look out for it... Rose is "dead". "died in battle" of torchwood / cannary worf.
I wouldn't just walk in to have my brain removed. but I love how she came back.
I remember thinking way back when this new iteration of the show always tugged at the feels, but then I realized how it would probably make a career of absolutely breaking our hearts. Yeah, I was right.
We needed another series or two with Rose. Gone too soon. She's not dead, but still the tears are flowing.
Another series you say?
Have you viewed the Secret Diary of a Call Girl? You'll certainly see more of Billie Piper's talents. ❤!
One of the most heartbreaking episodes of Doctor Who, and any other TV show as well. Just perfect.
Nothing like a good cleanse of the tear ducts 😭😭
Such an epic spectacular battle between the daleks and the cybermen but also such a sad season finale, u really do feel all the emotions between both the doctor and Rose and it’s truly heartbreaking every time u watch it, just makes this finale stand out even more. 😢 On a brighter note tho the Christmas special and then series 3 are both pretty good fun, looking forward to u reacting to them both. 😁
Did anybody notice that the same Doomsday theme plays in 1x01 when Rose enters the TARDIS for the first time (the ooh oohs)
OOOH I love that!!
This (and the latter half of Army of Ghosts) was my introduction to Doctor Who!
It made the previous two seasons pretty bittersweet to watch.
The scene with the Dalek and the two Cybermen is commonly referred to as the bitch fight of canary wharf in the doctor who fandom there is even a fan made edit which is hilarious to watch
I love that you said "Who is that?" at the end. A hell of an adventure awaits!
More adventures! More fun! More sadness! Bring it on 🥳
@@julesreacts Yeah I thought "It couldn't get any sadder than this, surely?", so I'm glad you're braced for it, haha
SOCIAL INTERACTION WILL CEASE 😂😂😂😂
Btw uou realise at this point in the timeline, there is a young girl entering her early teens called Amelia Pond, still thinking of the raggety Doctor she met lol.
Nawww 💜
I'm American, all the accents are "some English thing." I'm told the Doctor's accent changed when he regenerated. It was "northern" then he mirrored Rose.
I watched the whole of new doctor who last year and i loved it so much i started watching your reactions since the first episode because reactions almost make me feel like im watching something for the first time again. Been waiting for you to get to this episode since you started the whole series because this was the one that broke me the most and you actually put a really nice positive spin on this otherwise absolutely heartbreaking and gut wrenching ending of Rose. Cant wait to keep expiriencing all the other episodes for the first time again!!
I haven't even watched yet but the thumbnail has already killed me off haha. I knew this was coming
the heart breaking episode of the series
Absolutely 😭
This is Doctor Who. That is all I will say regarding spoilers with any of your concerns. And just like that, we have Donna. ❤
I've just binged your new who reactions in 2 days flat, incredibly exited for you to see the rest, Doctor Who is amazing, and i can't sit still when new people learn how good it is
AHHHH thank you!! That is amazing!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the episodes... ALL of the episodes hehe 💜
Perfect timing for the Christmas episode with Donna.
