@syntell Now you seen a little bit of Pyramids of Mars (in Empire of Death) This is the right point in series 4 to watch a classic story called Genesis of the Daleks - the reason why will become clear.
The next 6 episodes are a pretty legendary run of episodes of nothing but bangers. There’s a reason series 4 is considered one of the top new who seasons by us whovians

River Song!!! I love her. I still stand by that, despite what Donna said/thinks, River DOES know who she is. Donna only introduced herself as Donna, but River responded with 'Donna Noble?'. NO ONE TOLD HER DONNA'S LAST NAME.

This is the first, and, to date, only appearance of the Vashta Nerada on TV, but since previous Doctors record audio spin-offs, the Fourth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth have dealt with them in "earlier" adventures.

I remember the first time I watched it I had to immediately rewatch it. The joy I'm getting watching these guys discover it for the first time is immeasurable.
Took me a few years to realise that Miss evangelista wasn't saying ice cream she was saying "I scream", because the last thing she did was scream so her last thought was 'i scream'. Which makes it even more chilling.

One of the greatest 2-parters in the show which introduces one of the best characters in the show
Ahhhh! I'm so excited for the rest of the season. Every single episode starting from this one is perfection.
The Prince in Hellboy 2 was Nuada, named after an Irish god. The name Vashta Nerada may sound similar but no direct connection. I love your reactions by the way and the deep analysis that always follows. You guys really get into the flesh and bones of what makes the show great (and Moffat always puts plenty of meat on the bones)
@nupefromdaville
3 күн бұрын
Thank you and you're right. Sounded so similar, it was the first thing my mind went to.
One of the best episodes. I'd say more but...spoilers.
Stephen Moffett is not only the writer of most of the 11th Doctor's season, he's the show runner.
Steve Pemberton!😄
ahhh river song enjoy the ride boys👍🏻
Vashta Nerada - Silence in the library was filmed late January and early February 2008, aired May 2008 Nuada - Hellboy II was released in July 2008.
I'm losing my mind over hear. I'm so excited!
I hope you guys keep going. 9, 10, and 11 are my fav doctors with the best writing. I hope 15 gets some cool ep like these classics! i think with 15 the closest we got was 73yards so far.
Two visual echoes from the late 60s here and I often have wondered, every time I see this, if the Grand Moff saw these also and stored in that great brain of his. One, DC Comics "The Bride Cast Two Shadows": The Flash must exorcise from a young woman's body the spirit of a bride dead for a hundred years, who was engaged to a double for Barry Allen. The Flash #194 is an issue of the series The Flash (Volume 1) with a cover date of February, 1970. It was published on December 4, 1969. which I bought from a little newsagents in Suffolk in about March 1970. The woman cast two shadows, her own and the bride. And Two: An episode of Scooby Doo: Where Are You? called "Spooky Space Kook" Scooby, Shaggy and the gang find themselves on an abandoned military base where they see a UFO and then a glowing alien. The alien is actually a walking, cackling space suit with a glowing skull. Ring some bells I wonder, Moffat ol' lad?
Awww River
Between the next few episodes and specials…you’re in for some of Tennant’s best, prime Doctor Who. Next season is the start of Moffat’s run as showrunner and he really is setting up his run from here.

For the record a million million is the old english numerical system which is about the equivalent of billion in old english give or take. In some cases its a trillion, usaully in in the USA and financial or politics Its not used anymore and the UK adopted the US numerical system as it was simpler. But in the Doctor who universe its still used.

Oh wow, I’d never heard that one about elders but it’s absolute truth….. and beautifully said. You won’t be disappointed by the second half of this this. Trust that you will find answers to your questions. I love watching you guys back and forth to figure it out after,I can see the hamsters running, I had no idea they were on steroids!
I think this is my favourite two parter of all time! Loved the mystery of river song and the sinister vashta nerada
This isn’t really a spoiler, though nothing in this two-parter contradicts the idea, but Moffat revealed in a 2020 Doctor Who Magazine article that according to internal correspondence during production of series 4, Doctor Moon was intended to be a future version of the Doctor, specifically the 45th, (I don’t know whether they’ve already recorded their reaction to Forest of the Dead so I hesitate to explain exactly how that works, and so I’ve chosen to leave it unexplained until that video gets uploaded,) moreover in this same article Moffat posits that the idea that Moon is the Doctor could still work in canon.
The assistant to Lux was played by the lead actress of my favorite movie: St. Trinians. I HIGHLY recommend it.
Great episode as is the next one.
Man Syntell is such a good hype man for Rekkai, loved the whole vid but just the ending channel promo gets me every time. What legends. xD
The first part of a great story and the introduction of one of the best and most fun characters in DW.
That ghosting part was interesting. You do feel for the young lady. Liked the monsters.
I'm on the Discord, Syntell needs you all to join!! Love this 2 parter, glad you are enjoying it, it's fun watching you puzzle it out. This is another great Moffatt enemy, he's really good at taking a normal fear and manifesting it in a new and horrifying way, and this is no exception!!
Yes, that's the thing with Steven Moffat episodes - ordinary things like statues and shadows will never seem the same again! Also, I'm glad you like the name Vashta Nerada - it's always been my favourite, somehow. Gives you chills.
Amazing speculations and theories! 😮
There is a great horror film called Lights Out, which I recommend. River Song was a great addition to the show.
It's fascinating listening to you unpacking it and making guesses about the next one.
Rekkai was right about the doctor’s outfit🙂↕️The blue suit and tan long-coat combo is probably my favorite out of any of Ten’s outfits.
I adore watching you guys chew over this episode. I can’t wait to see your reaction to next episode. This is A+ Who and the roller coaster is just heading up the first hill.
Great reaction ❤😊one of my favorite episodes😊
I love your reactions. Fun and also really deep. 😊
Good eh? Doctor who is much more than a throw away TV show. It's a game, breadcrumbs, red herrings, misdirection, fun. Oh boy your next few days of Who viewing is gonna be awesome. Teehee have fun guys 😂😂😂😂😂
The David Tennant era was the best stretch of Dr. Who in that franchise's history. Classic! Can you review the TV series, From, starring Harold Perrineau? It's like the Walking Dead meets Lost.

okay fine, i'll subscribe, you guys are cool 😆 this episode is one of my most favorites, one of moffat's masterpieces, i saw it in 2009, i was 18.. it was good times lol love the 10th Doctor and Donna ❤
6:38 Aye!!!! My woman River Song! I'm curious to hear you guy's thoughts about her! 🙏🏽💪
Welcome to the best two parter of the season. Silence in the Library and Forrest of the Dead are two of my top favorite episodes. I can’t wait for you to unravel more of River Songs story. I think that she’s probably one of the most brilliantly written characters the show has ever introduced. I can’t wait for Forrest of the Dead. 😃
River Song. The absolute best of the best. Love Alex Kingston. This and the next episode is good to come back to once you know all the info about River
21:00 The shenanigans has began 👀
Best reaction I’ve seen to the vashta nerada wish they did more episodes on this villain
1:27 Yep, he was in the Western Resident Evil films and the Green Arrow series
26:15, British authors like Naiman Gaiman and Moffat take the trappings of sci-fi and fantasy then delve into ancient lore to make it something awesome
This is one of the best episodes in all of new Who. I was waiting for you two to get to this spot. There is no link to Hellboy. The Prince was Nuada and the creatures tooth fairies.
One of my favorite Dr who 2 parter!
Best yet to come defo one of my fav 2 parters 🎉
Hey! Who turned out the lights?
So excited we finally got here! No spoilers 😉, but what you said about Moffat is legit fact! Tennet is my favorite doctor, but Matt Smith had the best storylines. I literally think from this point through the next 2 1/2 seasons is the absolute best era of Doctor Who ever! I’m so ready to go on this journey again with y’all! 😁
Now we are in it, these next episodes are some of the best ones yet! I honestly find the Vashta Nerada to be the scariest monsters yet, I think because they pkay directly on that fear of the dark, the fear of what you can't see - and they have no weakness. The Weeping Angels are interesting and almost tragic in their solitude, that they can never be observed by each other, and while they do transport you to the past, you can continue to live a life, if not the one you would have had without them. These shadows, though, you're dead in an instant. A morbid thought, but I wonder if they eat their prey so quickly, at what moment do they go from being alive-and-eaten to dead-and-devoured? 😵💫 It happens so fast that their brain wave echoes can't even comprehend their death... It's funny, but up until this episode it felt like "Spoilers!" was itself a bit of a spoiler, so if nothing else it'll be good to reference that freely! I cannot wait to see your reactions to the next one, to see what you got right, what you got wrong, and what you never saw coming! Let's just say there was one prediction here that really surprised me!
Oh snaps!!!! This episode was actually my second time watching Doctor Who back in the day! I first watched Matt Smith's version of the Doctor *No Spoilers*, then I watched this episode. I was both confused, but satisfied lol. However, this episode got me hooked to the series! 🙏🏽💪
One of the best episodes
Riveeeer 😢
I watched Hellboy but I don't remember the fairies. I didn't know that The Vashta Narada were in that. Moffat is kind of like Neil Gaiman and Steven King.I need to rewatch Hellboy.

2:34 I agree! 💪
Welcome to River Song! Trust me the episode will make sense after the next episode. A fantastic two parter. As for River Song….all I can say is …. spoilers!
