"Everything has its time and everything dies" is such a great moment for me, because it shows that the Doctor is not the type of hero to let unrepentant villains evade consequences.

If she'd showed even an ounce of conscience or regret, then maybe the Doctor would've showed her mercy.

Essentially, all humans, eat, breathe and have sex and die. You can't use breathing against anyone, but you can tell them what they should and shouldn't eat (and many religions do) and as sex is needed to breed, it's the perfect mechanism. So make it a bad thing except in certain circumstances. And since some of the parts of the body are included in sex, they fall under the same umbrella. It's ridiculous, really.

In 1998, Piper released her debut studio album, Honey to the B, which was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. Her second studio album, Walk of Life, was released in 2000 and spawned her third number-one single, "Day & Night". In 2003, Piper announced that she had ended her music career to focus on acting.

​@d33dub Secret Diary of a Call Girl was a good show. Funny but thought provoking.

"Stop asking, I'm not telling you anything. Spoilers, sweetie". That is actually a line from Doctor Who.

some non-spoiler context: in the original show (1960s through 80s), to which this is a sequel, the Doctor was comparatively more open about where he was from, and his homeworld and people were alive. He was still wandering around with stray humans helping people but more just because he could and wanted to. And he certainly was not nearly as likely to kill someone in cold blood the way he did Cassandra. So, for those who came into this show knowing the previous one, this episode both introduces mysteries (what exactly happened in between the two shows) and clarifies some things (why is he so sad and not quite as kind as he once was). Good deal of season 1 is kinda him finding himself again after what happened.

Just to be precise, "Doctor Who" premiered on November 23rd, 1963, at 5:25pm. It was delayed for reports about the assassination which happened the day before, November 22nd. I'd really recommend watching episode 1 from 1963 as a one-off - there's so much set up in that episode, "An Unearthly Child", which is still being riffed on and expanded sixty years later.

Fun Fact 1; The name TARDIS was an improvisational name give by actress that played the ordinal Doctor's granddaughter that stuck. Fun Fact 2; Dials & levers - the original actor William Hartnell that played The Doctor asked what each control did and when he was told they didn't have any real function he told the director that they needed a function so the the door control would always be the door controller or the audience would notice that he was using different controls & it would break the realism so once he used a control for a function it was recorded so that controller would always be used for the same function.

Remember Clive in the first episode? Wherever the Doctor goes, death follows. Doesnt mean he causes the deaths, he saves as many as he can but usually cant save them all. Keep watching

Bit of trivia, but RTD actually blew a lot of the budget on making this episode; he didn’t really know how to manage a Sci-Fi project and underestimated how much the BBC could give him for these costumes and sets. Fortunately he learned well and later seasons are better handled therein. A detail I really appreciate is how much the Doctor and Rose - the latter a working class Brit - really value the lives of everyone far more; Rose being gracious to Raffalo who is just staff is commented on. Most of the people on the station are upper-crust and just spent a lot of money to watch the spectacle of a planet being destroyed by its own star; Jabe being descended from Earth’s trees is the exception, and her sympathy for the Doctor being the last of his race emphasises this genuine connection (and makes her sacrifice to save everyone they can all the sadder)… Cassandra is the last “pure” human, and she’s using this whole thing and killing people for her own benefit; proving how she’s so callous she’ll sacrifice her physical and metaphorical humanity to stay alive, whereas the Doctor is genuinely caring for the people who died horribly…

His speech in this one about humans never imagining that we could survive so far into the future because of all the threats in our world, and later the moment he tells Rose about the war that destroyed his home planet... so much solemn gravitas. I think the reason he took Rose to see the Earth die was because he needed someone with him who could understand his pain. This is a fun one, showing off the weird and wild ways this show can go.

Me. Every summer.

Eccleston was always a good doctor. I think the fact he only had the one season or series that limits his popularity. I’ll always be an Eleven and Amy Pond guy, but Nine could’ve been up had he had more time to make a lasting impression. For me, I think it’s about the chemistry between Doctor and companion. And I just loved Matt Smith and Karen Gillan’s chemistry. And later when they added Arthur Darvill and Alex Kingston to the line-up, it just made me love the Eleven years more.

Billie Piper is absolutely GORGEOUS!

A lovely reaction, as usual. Last time, I mentioned “Easter eggs“ for fans of classic Who. When Jade said, “I want to tell you how sorry I am, “ based only on knowing what species he was, our hearts went through our stomachs. Because the old fans have *met* the Time Lords, we’ve *been* to that planet, we’ve loved some of those people. I heard that line and said out loud, ”Ohhhh shit. Oh no.”

The creators of Rugrats were Whovians. In the episode where they're lost in the toy store you can see Dalek easter egg. Tommy even uses a screwdriver

So here's my take. Every time a new doctor steps in, there's a momentary feeling of "who the hell is *this* guy??" This is natural. Just stick with it and you'll love them too.

As prince, King Charles was outspoken on environmental sustainability, education and young people. Dedicated to plants and his garden, he revealed in 1986, and again in 2012, that he talks to plants. "I just come and talk to the plants, really. "Very important to talk to them, they respond," he said.10 Sept 2022 As in this episode it's probably the breathe they appreciate. Plants primarily take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by their leaves.

Oh we love him too, but David Tennant is pure magic. Edit: Chris Ecclston is my second fav. Being an older actor, there are moments where he's just got it. I heard there's a black Doctor now and Jinx Monsoon is in it!? I'm gonna have to pick up doctor who again. I got so burnt out on Matt Smith and lady Doctor just never spoke to me like the others. Also Tom Baker and one of the other OG doctors are pretty legit. And of course Rowan Atkinson did a pretty amazing Doctor in an old holiday comedy special.

Matt Smith did a fantastic job with The Doctor, but I do think he got run into the ground a bit by the end.

My favorite Doctor is the Seventh Doctor, played by Sylvester McCoy in the 80's. He was the last Doctor from Classic Who before the show got cancelled but he was also my introduction to the show. Very under-rated. My second favorite is Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor who you might meet, depending on if you keep watching the show (and I hope you do).

My personal theory is that Time and Relative Dimension is Space is as close an English translation as you can get for the name of Gallifreyan time ships, so Susan shortened it. The Doctor then eventually altered the translation circuit so that 'TARDIS' would be the new default translation.

@Swenglish

22 күн бұрын

@@ashleytuchin7693 That's a pretty good theory. Although with the TARDIS translation being psychic and the TARDIS being essentially a cybernetic organism, it occurs to me reprogramming would be unnecessary. It would perhaps simply accept Susan's translation as the one to use because it's what her and the Doctor kept calling it. When Susan told Ian and Barbara that she made up the name, Ian and Barbara didn't have another frame of reference for what to call it (except something generic/literary like "time machine"), so for the TARDIS to translate its name in other languages into anything other than TARDIS would be less helpful. And that's whether or not the name is "Time and Relative Dimension in Space" in Gallifreyan; those words could just be a segment of a product description or something, that she jumbled into a Latin word and chose to use in place of "Gallifreyan (type X) time capsule" or whatever, and the TARDIS might still have accepted it as a usable translation.

Without revealing more you'll find out later -- the bit where Jabe talks about where the Doctor's from and says she's sorry... It must've been SO INTERESTING for older fans to watch at the time. Because they WOULD know where the Doctor is from. But the actual war and him being "last of the time lords" was an invention of this new show. (Which I think is obvious, given the time they spend on it here.) And it definitely changed the dynamic and the character of the Doctor, going from him being [a person from this planet], to being the last survivor. Eventually it would be fun to see you react to some select episodes from Classic Who. Like maybe one or two stories from each Doctor, to get a feel for them. But definitely not until you've watched a few seasons of this, so you have more of a grasp on the worldbuilding. Personally I'd say watch at least season 3 first. (Obviously nothing from Classic Who can really "spoil" New Who once you get through this season, but there's lots of recurring things you might prefer to discover through the new show first, THEN go back and get context/backstory.)

That was the best thing about this episode. Made me sit forward in my seat when Nine mentioned the war and when Rose asked against who, even without him saying you just KNEW who it was

I enjoyed taking a ride with you and seeing your awesome, wonder, and love for the Expanse seeing it for the first time. Knowing what joy and sadness you have ahead of you in Doctor Who makes me extremely jealous.

I think you will find that Eccleston is very highly regarded as a Doctor. He had the daunting challenge of reviving the show after many years, and of introducing a whole new audience to Doctor Who, and he hit it out of the park. It's hard for me to pick a favorite. They all have their own personality, and I find that when I'm watching they all inhabit the role, and it is easy to adjust. I might say Tennant... but then I really liked McCoy, and Capaldi was fantastic... then of course Tom Baker _owned_ the role for so long he's iconic, and Troughton was just delightful, and... and... You get the idea. 😊

It's really hard watching him get emotional as someone who knows, I won't give any spoilers but he's been through so so so much, we learn about most of it over time. So glad to be on this journey with you, you're my absolute favorite reaction channel, and I watch a LOT of them lol. Thank you for starting this and FMA, you're in for quite the adventure with both.

The space station was the interior of the Temple of Peace in Cardiff. Worth a look

It`s not that Ecclestone is a bad Doctor, it`s just the fact that what is yet to come is just too good!

Yes, his name is Michael Sheen, and you really should watch Good Omens, it's delightful and a really good adaptation of the book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett (RIP).

Christopher Eccleston to me is THE Doctor, a lot of my favourite episodes are not in his series, but he was the first Doctor I saw on TV. I watched him week to week, and when I think 'The Doctor', he's my go-to image.

"No one says he's their favourite doctor." Um, EXCUSE ME? He is the best doctor the series has ever seen!!!! Anyone who says otherwise is crazy.

Eccleston was absolutely my favorite doctor.

Eccelston as the Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose got me into Doctor Who when I was young. I loved them both and there are some fantastic episodes. I do enjoy Tennant but I did not finish his time as the Doctor. And I never watched anyone who took over from Tennant. I think Eccelston is hugely underrated and I really liked him eventhough I am not a Who fan anymore.

I didn't think anyone could replace Tom Baker (the current doc when I started watching as a kid) as my favorite Doctor, but David Tennant's doc is just amazing. Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi are both fantastic as well!

Eccleston is definitely my favorite doctor. Tennant is fabtastic, but eccleston channels not only the silliness but the darkness of the doctor perfectly. Ecclestons doctor has RAGE within, and it contrasts with the goodness so well. He's the one I can most buy witnessed a terrible war.

Oh, well I'll say it, he's my favourite doctor!

David Tennant is my favorite doctor. He was and had the pinnacle of seriousness, sadness, hubris, cruelty, etc. Matt Smith holds the second spot for me. Loved his silliness.

Eccleston only did one season he didnt want to be known as JUST the Doctor and he regretted it even since...so gave us no real time to love him like Tenant w 3 seasons and Smith w 4...love from the UK

@@ArsGratiaArtis85 That's what I love about Big Finish. Doctors who had a weak or brief TV run (Colin Baker, Paul McGann, now even Eccleston) get a second chance.

At some point it seemed to shift to more New Who style and less experimental.

This isn't a bad doctor, the series is just REALLY REALLY GOOD under Tennant and Smith. It had also been decades since the original series had ended, so they were figuring out what still worked in this season, and what needed to change to appeal to the modern generations. Also yes, the Doctor is always flirting with everyone and everything... sometimes even on purpose... just don't ask about Queen Elizabeth.

Oh lord, the Vincent episode is SO good. I think, for many people, their favorite Doctor often turns out to be the Doctor they were introduced to the series through. My personal favorite is Tom Baker, closely followed by John Pertwee. Of the newer Doctors, I absolutely adore Eccelston. The man does not get enough credit for his portrayal by so many fans.

12:35 "Does he not know [where he's from]?" You've unintentionally opened up a whole can of worms there. At this point in the show's history, it's fairly straightforward, but let's say a few years ago there was quite a contraversial change to that status quo. As others have said, the Doctor letting Cassandra die is a really dark moment. It's part of his whole arc this series and how the trauma of the time war have affected him. Eccleston was my first Doctor and I definitely regard him very highly, but my favourite is Twelve (Peter Capaldi). Also, fun fact, Cassandra gave me a nightmare when this first aired when I was 9!

I'll come out and say it, Eccleston is my favorite Doctor, he's the first that got me to actually watch a series in full and not in clips. He begins that sequence of there is something deeply wrong with this man, something broken, that he is desperately trying to fix but can't. He's also ensuring that no one else becomes as broken and alone as he is. There are better Doctors, but he definitely is a must for ushering in the new era of Doctor Who for new fans.

Few people say Christopher Ecclestone is their favourite Doctor, not because he was bad, but because David Tennant and Matt Smith who came after him were so good.

Eccleston was so amazing. Every rewatch I fall in love with his Doctor again and wish he had stayed longer. But tbf as soon as Tennant gets going it's like oh yeah it was just meant to be

Eccleston is still my favorite Doctor. He (along with Billie Piper) made me fall in love with this series when I started watching back in 2014. It quickly became my favorite show, and remains so 10 years later. All because of these two amazing actors.

Eccleston is definitely my Doctor. He's no longer my #1 favorite (that'd be Capaldi), but he'll always be the one that brought me to the show. I'd actually seen quite a bit of old Who (mostly Pertwee and Baker) through PBS when I was a kid, but I had no idea what was going on. His take is so multi-faceted. Nine feels and reacts to everything fiercely. Joy, Anger, Fear, Despair, Guilt. It's not only the core of his character, it's a prominent driver of the whole first series. You can see how much experimenting was going in in every aspect of production here, too. And yeah, that dates it and makes it feel a little shakey sometimes, but I love it. And it's kind of a callback to the often cheap and haphazard feel of the old series. The first series of the modern reboot, and Eccleston will always be my anchor to the show. Also, Eccleston seems like a sometimes intense, but very principled human in real life. I think he's probably hard to be close with sometimes, but its also probably very worthwhile.

Peter Capaldi is my favorite Doctor, you will get there next yearish.

Christopher Eccleston is hands-down my favorite Doctor, he's just so great lol

In addition to what others have mentioned here, Eccleston also has one of the shortest tenures as the Doctor- not counting the non-numbered Dr’s (like the War Doctor and the Valeyard), the only actor with a shorter run as the Dr is Paul McGann, who was only in one episode and a made-for-tv movie.

Tom Baker was my doctor. He was the Doctor when I was born and his Doctor was the first I saw when I started watching when I was older. I am a fan of Tennant, but Capaldi really grew on me, he brought something that connected with me.

He's my favorite Doctor. Got to meet him and his lovely family in a Deli in Manhattan one time. Really cool guy.

I am so, so enjoying watching you see Doctor Who episodes for the first time! It is so refreshing! The next Doctor, David Tennant, had no idea whether this series would be successful, since they started filming his episodes before they started showing this first season. He had to join the series on blind faith. Tennant is my favorite Doctor. He injected the series with so much personality. Eccleston was fabulous, but we only had one season with him. I guess he regretted not staying longer after his contract was up.

Love that you are going down the DW rabbit hole! A former friend of mine got me hooked on the series. In my town, we used to have a TARDIS they built on a street corner as like a book exchange thing, not really sure what you call them. People leave books in there for people to borrow or take and then those who take can return or leave books for others. Be sure to bring tissues for these episodes - some of them have all the feels!

The Fourth Doctor Tom Baker was my first Doctor. He recently turned 90 back in January.

Eccleston's my favourite doctor. There. Someone (else) said it. His one season run was a great introduction for a new generation of Who fans, as it covered all the bases. "Ruby" "Dalek" and "The Doctor Dances" really set the tones for what types of things you can expect for the remainder of Nu Who.

Eccleston is MY favorite Doctor, I guess partially because I started watching it with him... but mostly I think because he is kind, snarky, fun, and tortured. Eccleston does a wonderful job portraying this very complex, very well seasoned being.

Absolutely love watching you slowly discover this show and the Doctor themself.

You have such a LONG way to go... some would say you're going the long way round. Can't wait to join you on the journey!

I'm fairly new to being a regular viewer and so glad you've started your DW journey! Thanks for the reactions!
