Doctor Who Review of Season 1 Episode 3, this episode is written by Steven Moffat rather than Russel T Davies. While it did cut down on the messaging, it's still very much there, just about different topics. I'm not sure why every writer has come back just to push their new ideas but it seems to be the reason behind it. This episode is better than the Russel T Davies episodes, but that's not to say it's good. We've just lowered the bar and hope you don't think if the plot makes sense. The episode is also a lot worse when you understand the ideas behind it from Steven Moffat's interviews. Which is why I included it at the start. But what did you think about what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

I have a theory about this "doctor" before the "female doctor" the actual doctor got infected with the woke mind virus which is what triggered his female transformation. The real doctor finally fought his way back up to the surface but he was still infected with the mind virus. The toymaker actually likes the doctor so he cured the doctor by extracting Ncuti out of him, and now this is just the woke mind virus fantasy land.

Modern militaries actually work really hard to keep soldiers alive, to the point of compromising their effectiveness through carrying too much armor, because the cost of equipment is actually very cheap compared to the cost of training a soldier. Drop a rifle, you can replace the rifle. Lose a soldier and that's years of training down the toilet.

Hi Disparu, loved you on FNT! Sorry I can't finish this video, keep puking

We've fallen very, very far from: Dalek : We have your associate. You will obey or she will be exterminated. The Doctor : No. [everyone looks at The Doctor, stunned] Dalek : Explain yourself. The Doctor : I said no. Dalek : What is the meaning of this negative? The Doctor : It means no! Dalek : But she will be destroyed! The Doctor : No! 'Cause this is what I'm gonna do - I'm gonna rescue her! I'm gonna save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek fleet, and then I'm gonna save the Earth, and _then_ - just to finish you off - I'm gonna wipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky! Dalek : But you have no weapons, no defences, no *plan*! The Doctor : Yeah, and doesn't that scare you to death? The Doctor : Rose? Rose : Yes, Doctor? The Doctor : I'm coming to get you.

Actually slightly worse than that Orieni. Within the Industrial Military Complex you have Industry, The Customer and the End User. Industry is told to not speak to the End User cause the End User isn't paying the invoice. The Customer is the 'Government' who, in a perfect world, actually listen to the End Users (aka the actual armed forces). The Customer tells Industry what they are willing to pay for and then Industry attempts to not give them anything for free. So, making a land mine. If the Customer wants LED lights around the side then Industry would do it, cause, payment. If the Customer doesn't want LEDs then Industry are not going to spend time and money putting them in, cause, CAPITALISM. For writers who seem to both hate the Industrial Military Complex AND Capitalism they have no idea how either of them work.

All of Matt Smith's speeches had weight behind them. Peter Capaldi tended to use speeches as a gimmick. "Sit down and talk!" was great and so was "I do what I do because it's right!" but I can barely remember anything he said in the insanely overrated Heaven Sent and several other speeches felt like they were just thrown in for the sake of a speech. His "man who stops the monsters" speech in Flatline is a good example, especially since Clara and Rigsy did all of the hard work and Capaldi just came in to take the glory at the end, whilst waving away the possibility of the whole thing being a misunderstanding. Remember when David Tennant made a sincere effort to understand the Midnight Monster and even the literal Devil? Capaldi just tossed out "I think you're monsters" and moved on because he was pissed off about being stuck in a miniaturised TARDIS for most of the episode. Whenever Matt Smith was saying a speech, it had purpose behind it. More often than not, he could scare off an enemy with words alone but his magnum opus in the speech department was undoubtedly The Rings of Akhaten. Scaring off Akhaten wasn't an option - the thing was literally a sentient star - but trying to overload it with too much story energy was feasible. It needed an extra push from Clara but Akhaten must have been getting full before she gave it the dessert.

Similar to his attack on Demon's Run; actually irrelevant. Smith did a fine job and some of the softer moments worked and made sense, but all of his grand-standing always came off as stupid because Moffat refused to ALLOW it to be meaningful, he CONSTANTLY undermined The Doctor in those moments--he's either ignored, proven wrong, tricked, etc. Same with some of his humor that required very awkward and unnatural dialogue to set up.

So, Moffat initially didn't want to have the characters see the ambulance, he wanted the *idea* of the ambulance to be the scary thing. And yet, he wrote the Doctor to call them idiots for believing in something they can't see, even though the tension he wanted the audience to experience of being scared of something they can't see relies on the audience believing in the existence of something that they can't see - in other words, having faith that it's real.

Thank you for logically taking apart Moffat's rant about "thoughts and prayers" being an "evil" thing to say. I know he's just echoing a sentiment that a lot of other people have said, but it's really an unhelpful response to people who are just trying to communicate some empathy and compassion for those who have suffered loss. There's a sad irony to this-- I wonder if Moffat has thought about how "thoughts and prayers" became a stock phrase in the first place. It actually developed in the attempt to be inoffensive and inclusive of as many people as possible-- inclusive of people like Moffat himself! It doesn't specify which God you are praying to, and it includes "thoughts" on behalf of those who don't believe in prayer. It's a phrase that developed in a pluralistic society, intended to be used in times when people of all faiths want to emphasize their unity in supporting those who are suffering. Maybe you don't believe it does any good-- I'd argue that even if you don't believe in prayer, there's value in thinking of others rather than yourself.

Personally I find the fact that 2 million people are still watching this show after all that’s happened to it over the years more disturbing than the merits of each individual episode

It's like anything; there will always be people who like ANYTHING that vaguely resembles the real thing they like. Or they will watch it out of a sense of obligation, as if it's a betrayal of Doctor Who to NOT watch this betrayal of Doctor Who.

Did anyone, who actually watched this drivel, ever really believe the Doctor was going to be blown up in the 3rd episode? There’s absolutely no tension or risk because the audience knows he’s going to survive

I don't think that's a good argument. I mean, I don't think the Doctor is REALLY going to die, ever. The show will eventually stop but I doubt he'll be killed off. That doesn't mean, therefore, that they should never bother putting him in risky situations--that would be very boring.

Hello there, Disparu. I bid Doctor Who farewell midway through Matt Smith’s run and yet here I am, happily watching your dissection of the show’s dressed-up corpse.

@@sarasunshinemt4444 I gave up the moment it was revived by RTD. I knew what the agenda would be. Can't understand why people were so taken in by Moffitt, Tennant and the other luvvies. It was as plain as a pikestaff that this is what would eventually result - the only brakes were the BBC and society not being inundated by woke ideology. If it had been mine to redeveloped is have gone with more serious scripts and had more real science - for kids but with some proper stories that adults could appreciate - much as it was designed to be in the 60s. I've watched the occasional new episode over the years but it's been junk every time. Who finally got decent sets, at the expense of descent scripts and overacting morons like Tennant. It's demise under Disney will not be missed. No flowers please.

I walked away during the Matt Smith era too, his Doctor was too much of a hyper active man-child for my tastes, I never could stand a grown man in a bow tie, it makes them look childish and infantile, it makes a man looks like a boy in a disturbing way.

Matt's last season is better than his middle season, although it staggers a bit due to swapping his companions and redecorating the tardis exterior who ever it was that told Matt to up the ante on being eccentric I blame ans the terrible story arc for 11th Dcotor's middle season. That River Song plotline was messy and silly AF unnecessary. I dont blame Matt Smith, his first season was great.

"Basically...run." That's one of the best new Dr intros ever imo. The whole episode I was like, "This thing is crazy powerful, how is he going to beat it?!" Then he just intimidates it 😂 So awesome 👍

I kept asking myself why hasn’t he used his sonic screwdriver haha Surely that could deactivate the mine and the ambulances

So there's a FULL GROWN MAN who was COMPRESSED into a "tube" and companion can pick up this compressed adult human man like he weighs nothing and not upwards of 100 pounds at least?

@@AtariDadI mean that depends on the individual, no? Sometimes it’s just performative and virtue signaling but some people say it with genuine sincerity. When my grandfather died and people sent me well wishes and sympathy I didn’t get mad at them and want “thoughts and prayers” as a phrase to be associated with villains so people would stop saying it. That’s crazy.

Ohh no, land mines! If only the doctor had a tool that specifically worked with technology that could disable the land mines and remove all the tension in the scenes

Doctor Ncuti: "If this mine detects I am alive, it will turn me into a super explosive and kill everyone!" Oh wow, a jaded trigger-happy soldier should have a real easy solution to that.

12:04 "This is the first female Doctor played by Ncuti Gatwa" made me laugh out loud 😄

Imagine they made The waters of Mars now . I’m the TIMELORD QU33RTORIOUS babe

21:02 How is that device even working properly... what with his having TWO hearts and all... and it being designed for those of the ONE heart variety?

"Some people have fight or flight, I have cry and sh myself!" That is such a good line, dude

So, Doctor Cuties gave a little girl and her mother each a flesh tube? That's... not weird... side thought: If those tubes are just compacted bodies... they would still weigh the same as the body they came from... 200 pounds easily. If they're not the entire body, like, if they just wrapped the skin around whatever tech is necessary to power the holograms? Where's the rest of the bodies? Meanwhile: thoughts and prayers for everything past the T in LGB...
