Oh no! Am I pronouncing it wrong?!🙈 Well this is embarrassing🤣 Ok, that is really funny that RTD wrote that because of Tennant and yes I do struggle with “purple burglar alarm.”🤣
I almost cheered out loud when you realised the Tardi's "Thief" was the Doctor. I missed that on my first viewing. This is one of my very favorite episodes. Neil Gaiman's writing, Suranne Jones" portrailal, the way Matt plays the doctor with a perfect childish excitement. It is perfection. I love your reactions. I especially love your beautiful Scottish accent. It is such a joy to listen to your commentary.
I love the discussion about the Doctor stealing the Tardis and the Tardis stealing the Doctor, and the Tardis telling him "What made you think that I ever planned to give you back?"
I love this episode. The actress who plays the Tardis is so fun and charming, Matt Smith is great as always, Michael Sheen is awesome and I just love the short exchange between the Doctor and House in which the Doctor states that he killed all the Time Lords. People can say what they want about the Moffat era of New Who, but in my opinion no other era had better speeches and quotes from the Doctor in such a high quantity.
The Tardis complaining about him "picking up strays" will always be funny because from the Tardis's perspective they are all temporary companions at best.
And in the classic era, surprisingly few companions were actually INVITED aboard... We had stowaways, sudden orphans, accidental interlopers who were just being nosey, and even a couple of outright kidnapees... Many "strays", indeed. =:o}
Such a fantastic episode and such a wonderful tribute to the Tardis and it's pivotal place in the show. The fact that the Tardis is in some way sentient and alive has been established since all the way back in Season 1 of Classic Who, over the years the Doctor has always shown her great love and affection and even (to the bemusement of some) talked to her. Tom Baker always used to call the Tardis "old girl" which of course is referenced here and the Tardis actually says that she always liked it. But yeah finally the Tardis gets a voice and it's beautiful.
House reminded me very much of an entity the 6th Doctor encountered in the spin-off comics, back in the '80s. It took the form of a creepy house filled with illusions to torment the TARDIS crew and planned to consume the TARDIS's energy. It seized control of the TARDIS, but the Doctor was ultimately able to separate it from the ship and leave it trapped in the time vortex, where it was seen melting away over the final frames of the story, believing that new victims would still come to it eventually. The idea that it could have survived and emerged in this pocket universe, becoming the being we saw here is certainly plausible. ^_~
Did you notice that it was David Tennants Doctor console room they beemed into and killed that Ood? This is one of my favourite episodes of season 6. Neil Gaiman chose the name Idris because it was an unusual but authentic name which resembled "TARDIS" Love your reactions there always so heartfelt and genuine 😊
People are quick to say, yes Rory the Doctor has a room, they read it in a book or something. But I think, here, the joke is the console room is his room and he's already in it. We see him tinkering, we see him at play. Talking to his imaginary friend, going on adventures. Where he needs to be. No other room required
Brilliant story with all it's quirky bits - Suranne Jones makes the perfect Tardis while Martin Sheen is great (as usual) as House... I think we get to see some classic tardis consoles in the junkyard don't we iirc. Plus we finally get an answer as to why the doctor can't pilot the tardis reliably. The mail cube dates back to the second doctor (although we hadn't seen it since that era).
Love this! I think you made a comment last week about The Doctor's relationship with the TARDIS, and I thought it was very prescient. Of course, no spoilers, so I didn't say anything. Looking forward to the next 3 episodes very much.
One of my favorite episodes from this season! You handle their "goodbye" a lot better than I did, I'll admit. It was really cool to see the TARDIS being an actual proper character, her dynamic with the Doctor was really fun to watch and also pretty special. Also, don't remember if you pointed that out, but the console room that we saw in this episode was 9/10s.You also mentioned more Time Lords, I would love that too. One of the Doctor's companion was called Romanadvoratrelundar better known as Romana (or Fred for my classic who buddies) and she was also a Time Lord! She was a companion for 3 whole seasons back in the classic and if there's one thing I really want is for the show to bring her back in the mix. It's been a while since you watched the Christmas Special from the 15th Doctor, but you might remember that right in the end there's this woman called Ms. Flood and she was breaking the fourth wall. Time Lords, well, the Doctor can break the fourth wall so one of the theories going around her character is that she might be a Time Lord. I obviously won't give any spoilers about season 1 or 2 when it comes out, but since that Special, that theory has been around. It would've been really nice to pair the Doctor with another (good) Time Lord. Anyway, great reaction, it was really fun and entertaining, nothing that I did not expect already when I'm tunning into your channel at this point. I noticed that you changed a little bit your editing style. I'm always quite sincere, so I'll admit that I'm not the biggest fan of these editings that include memes that, like, take the reactor for the sake of the meme. To properly explain, what I meant is I like this 2:53 but I'm not a big fan of this 2:10 (even though, I'll say this particular one worked really well for me). Regardless, that's just how I feel and it's not like you have to change your editing because one person wasn't a big fan of a particular element, it's your channel and you do whatever you want. At this point, I feel like even if I absolutely hated completely your editing style (and that's far from being the case btw) I would still pop in here, just because you're incredibly lovely and nice and beautiful and fun and sweet and the list goes on... One last thing... I hope things are good for you and your family now. you went through a very stressful situation and things got better, but I hope all of that is in the past and you are all good and health.
You should totally watch Good Omens. The voice of House plays an angel and David Tenant plays a demon. (you know the bit at the end where he complained about a new man sauntering away? Crowley has a heck of a saunter, and stole his actor. And THIS time, he's Ginger.)
Good Omens is amazing! I love Michael and David’s chemistry. Agreed, Crowley is my favourite (love all his looks in the show) and one of the best David Tennant characters😄💖He does suit the ginger🤣
@@ReactandRamble If you want a centuries old being from another world who drives an obsolete supernatural vehicle, averts the end of the world by running around talking to people, more interested in children and shopkeepers than presidents and kings, performs the occasional minor miracle, and is rubbish without his companion... Two nickels, but it's strange that it happened twice.
@@ReactandRamble Various people were baffled why Stephen Moffat insisted on continuing to rent an old studio building with only one disused set in it, for a whole year after production had moved to new facilities. He couldn't tell them "Neil Gaiman's writing us a very special episode that needs it, but he's held up on other projects". =:o}
I've seen this episode reviewed many times on TH-cam, and no one really seems to notice the Tardis telling the Doctor, that she loves him as she fades away.
I really enjoyed this episode. Have watched it a number of times. The Doctors relationship with the Tardis I thought was very moving. I hadn't thought before that this could have been extended to two episodes. The Doctors relationship with the dead Time Lords could have been extended further. His reaction to them and their loss would have given Amy and Rory an understanding of the Doctors life.
And bloomin' excellent in "Gentleman Jack". She'd make very fine Doctor... Although I don't know how the TARDIS would feel about her beloved thief walking around in her old (borrowed) face! =:o}
I wouldn't necessarily say the Doctor was an idiot he locked the TARDIS to keep Amy and Rory out of harms way the Doctor has a duty of care because usually the inside of the TARDIS is the safest haven only this episode it wasn't. Alot of people praise this episode but for me I'll probaly be the only one here this was the episode where I felt they went alittle bit too far with the TARDIS "being a living being" because throughout Classic Who 1963-1989 even though there were hints about the possibility of the TARDIS being alive it was really no more than just a machine a time travelling spaceship if you will I just think they should had left that vague. The way i view the Doctor's relationship with the TARDIS is more like a bloke with his sports car or Captain Kirk from "Star Trek" who sees his starship enterprise as or referring to it as a "she" like their baby if that makes sense? I agree I would had liked to have seen other Time Lords other than just the Doctor and the Master all the time the Doctor mentions an unseen character called The Consair who appears in one the Dr. Who spin-off comics who is another Time Lord and I believe this episode is the first time in the show's history to establish that Time Lords can change gender when they regenerate.
The junkyard Tardis that the Doctor built in this episode was designed by the winner of a competition that Blue Peter ran.
As a 60+ year viewer I loved this episode. The one constant companion - loyalty without question.
more constant than even his own face
@@Tm-dn9obthe Tardis hasn't exactly stayed the same throughout time either to be fair.
@@quintuscrinis, almost like the Doctor, she doesn’t change at all, at heart, just her appearance.
I love hearing Scottish prople try to pronounce Ood. Thats why RTD named the Judoon, to make Tennat say "platoon of Judoon on the moon."
Id love to hear her say "purple burglar alarm." 5X quickly.
“Judoon platoon upon the moon!”, aye.
Oh no! Am I pronouncing it wrong?!🙈 Well this is embarrassing🤣 Ok, that is really funny that RTD wrote that because of Tennant and yes I do struggle with “purple burglar alarm.”🤣
"No, but I always took you where you needed to go." That choked me up then, and it chokes me up now. She is The Thief's true wife.

Doctor : Shes the TARDIS... AND shes a woman

Oh yeah, did we forget to tell you... The TARDIS is sentient, she's alive. Must have stored it away under spoilers!
It honestly makes me appreciate the TARDIS so much more! I love that we got to speak to her.
I only saw snippets of the show & I STILL (AGAIN) teared up when ‘alive’ was over.
"I just really like his voice though" - take a bow, Michael Sheen!
I honestly could not believe it was Michael Sheen when I looked it up! I love him but I still can’t hear it as his voice🤣

doesn't hurt that Suranne is good looking and curvy also.

Not sure if you realised but the old tardis control room that they go into is the Series 1-4 Tardis set

One of my favorite episodes. I've been a Who fan since the early 80s and I think this is a brilliant concept. Neil Gaiman is known for smart writing..
I've seen this episode reviewed many times on TH-cam, and no one really seems to notice the Tardis telling the Doctor, that she loves him as she fades away.
I think it’s too poignant to mention. It is for me, at least.
Can’t believe Neil Gaiman wrote this. Did an excellent job. You should see him in The Simpsons episode The Book Job, S23

I hadn't thought before that this could have been extended to two episodes. The Doctors relationship with the dead Time Lords could have been extended further.

I enjoyed their relationship too! I definitely think there was more to explore regarding the dead TimeLords.
In a way, it’s a shame that Suranne Jones played Idris. She would have been a great Doctor.
The title of the episode is as confusing as the title of the Next Doctor episode. I think it was done on purpose.
Hi, yes always liked this episode, it would have been good to see the Corsair time lord, whoever he she was. Nice editing as usual.
Hopefully they explore that more in the future. Thank you!😄
