Im surprised they didnt mention when the old man Doctor says before the war he was a father and grandfather but no he is just a doctor. and Doctor replies "Yeah, i know the feeling."

Captain Jack Harkness is one of the best characters in the show.

*Are you my mummy?*

Time Lord = A rank within Gallifreyan society where the Gallifreyan man or woman is genetically altered. Time Agent = A human time cop

Editor, you get a hero cookie.

"There was a man there" makes perfect sense in the context of British culture. It's something we all know, even as kids (I was 13 when this episode first aired), that some evacuees were treated badly by the families who took them in. A lot were used as slave labour or starved or physically abused. So, there were kids who were sent to the countryside for their safety who ran away back to the cities being bombed because they felt safer there.

Finally! Jack Harkness :D

The "there was a man there..." line, I believe it was meant to imply he was abusive in some fashion. Especially given as you said the boy preferred to come back to an active war-zone rather than stay there.

10:10 Ahh that good old Gaius from merlin, still a physician from show to show

Omg. At the purple light Calvin said Kilgrave. Kilgrave is played by David Tennant, who also plays the Tenth Doctor. 😁

Barrowman is here, finally

Episode 9: In which the boys of Blind Wave find a familiar face

Freaking Finally!!! 9 weeks waiting for this damn episode. At this episode I was so sold on Doctor Who, that are-you-my-mommy-thing creeped me out for days

This two-parter is still one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes ever. I remember first time I watched it - I was absolutely terrified of it. I still am, tbh. Glad you guys enjoyed it! Especially Eric's reaction to John Barrowman showing up was amazing (though I do wonder if you missed his butt-slap because you were all watching Eric. xD). I liked where the conversation was going in the end there, talking about Mickey and Rose and such. I think there's some legitimate points on both sides, but yeah, at this point I'm personally like "Rose, you should probably... break up with Mickey. Just so that there's some closure.". And LONO! I loved the editing for this one! It can't have been easy, with such a cramped episode, but I thought it worked really well! And all the small zoom-ins and such were hilarious. And while it's a change, I thought the footage cutting in and out worked very well for this one. :) I always have a hard time talking about the first half of two-parters, so I'll leave off with saying that I'm looking forward to next week a lot.

Every time they upload Doctor Who I'm like "Woooo, Doctor Who!" then i realise how far behind they are

Laughed so hard when Calvin went and grabbed the Merlyn Pop

There are times when the perfect summation already exists so from TV Tropes: Say hello to Steven Moffat, the drunken captain of the oil tanker full of nightmare fuel that's headed full speed ahead straight for the rocky coast of your dreams.

I've been looking forward to Erik getting to this point since long before they ever decided to watch Doctor Who! 😀 I think they left it unsaid, but implied, that the boy who referenced the man on the farm was abused in some way.

Moffat's debut episode was memorable and iconic. The Empty Child will forever be one of the best episodes of Doctor Who. also I just realized that Moffat introduced Jack as well as 'spooileeers' - two of the best New Who characters

That's CAPTAIN Jack Harkness. Don't you forget it!

17:37 that was scarier than the episode ;_;

This was when I fell in love with Doctor Who as a whole. 11 was my first Doctor, but while I was catching up, this two-parter basically sold the show for me.

A beautiful introduction to Moffat's Doctor Who writing :')

This two-parter is my favorite Eccleston showing. He's at his best in these two. Plus ,Captain Jack!

Probably 1 of the best episodes the show had ever produced. It's creepy with a great villain, the empty child, and of course introducing Handsome Jack into the show, 1 of the most well known and fan favorite characters. I love this episode and the Doctor Dances

Quantum Leap, Calvin! I loved that show.

NOTIFICIATION NON PATREON BUT PROUD BLIND WAVE SUPPORTERS SQUAD been waiting for the Empty Child reaction since you guys started Doctor Who.

I hate how Rose treated Mickey

I've been waiting for this episode since you started reacting to Doctor Who! It's still one of my all time favorite episodes. So freaky. I'm with Eric. I would've started throwing shit at it. My first reaction was, "Ahh! Kill it with fire!"

Ah yes, the source of my most memorable childhood nightmares. God i love this two-parter

"Captain Jack Harkness.... and who are you?"

I'm super late with this comment, but I was so surprised that you recognized John - I never realized he was in anything other than Dr Who and Torchwood.

CAPTAIN JACK!!! I've been waiting so long for this one. I know they said they won't do it, but can they please make 2 reactions of DW every week? It's well into its 10th Series and at this pace, they'll need 3 years to catch up. And i'm still absolutely terrified of the "Are you my mummy?" kid, 5 years after i started Doctor Who

This really freaked me out as a kid. The "Are you my mummy?" in the gas mask, I still shudder.

Welcome to the genius of Steven Moffat. Regardless of what some people say, he's by far the best writer this show has ever had.

One of my favorite two parters! You're going to love where it goes! I must say I can watch you guys review DW every day. So much fun!

17:37 What the fuck lol

I love this episode because of the well done horror and intrigue elements. Also of course the great John Barrowman as Capt. Jack Harkness which is an awesome name by the way. The mask children are truly terrifying and creepy especially how people change into them. I also love how much of a flirt Jack is considering he is very handsome and knows it. I love his interactions with Rose and the information we learn about him. It was also interesting to see the Doctor and Rose separated for most of the episode. I really like how the Doctor shows off more of his intelligence in this episode. I also think the action was much better in this episode than what we have seen before at least on this scale. I loved this reaction and I can't wait for the next one. :-)

I mentioned this on Patreon when the first episode was available, but I would love for you guy to make a list of actors and actresses you notice from the DC and Marvel universe.

The old doctor that looks after the victims will forever be Victor Meldrew for me now o.o

Editing is on point. Well done!! Love it.

Love the editing Lono!

I love this two-parter! Thanks for reacting to Doctor Who! It's one of my favorite shows.

I was waiting so much for this reaction!

I was laughing so much, mostly because of the editing. Adding this to my favorites.

this is one of my favorite doctor who episodes

yessssss!!! finally got to Cap'n Jack!! you're in for a ride

The edits on this one were Fantastic.

Love Eric and Shane's reaction to John Barrowman. Can't wait for their reactions for the other actors they might recognise in New Who. Especially the two regular actors that appear in Series 5. That's going to be a very long wait.

one of my favorite early episodes

Yes. I was waiting for your reaction to Jack. I haven't watched Arrow, but I know he's in it. So I knew you'd recognize him.

Yes! Getting to the good ones now.

Oh finally, amazing episode. Really damn good.

i honestly can't wait for next week ^^

I forgot this episode was so soon, awesome

And this is the episode that got me hooked.

Hell yeah, my favorite episodes of this season! (this one and the next)

The time lords are a species unique to one planet, the time agency is a galactic organization that people join.

Yess I'm so excited!!!! I love this episode

just in case you havent searched by now, John B. gets a dr.who spin off series as the main alien for his own set of companions. that series gets a reference in the tenth doctors series.

In relation to the farm thing you were discussing. When kids were evacuated a lot of the people that took them in did not want to, it was forced on them. There were a lot of incidents of children getting abused by the people that they were sent to during the war.

Quantum Leap~! I saw Scott Bakula at Comic Con. He did a panel with William Shatner. Bakula seemed to be terminally embarrassed by Shatner. haha

Yes Jack, one of my all time favourite characters in Doctor Who ❤I knew you lot would know him as Malcolm.... right? (Only seen the Musical crossover from Arrowverse) LOVED that you lot already had his Funko Pop 😂❤

Found this vid by searching for DW reacts. I thought ‘These guys sound like table top gamers the way they are thinking through the scenes.’ Low and behold... well, looks like I’ve got something new to binge. 😉

HERE WE GO!

I love these. Hey, do you think you could make them more regular??

This is the episode that hooked me on DW

I HAD THAT EXACT SONIC WHEN I WAS A KID, IT HAD THE SAME BLOODY SOUNDS AND EVERYTHING

...Quantum Leap is the one with Scott Bakula ...in regards to Rose's mother, don't forget her mom's comment about the "shop" she was working in was "don't go getting airs and graces" Aka, don't go getting above yourself daughter, you're still "slag" council girl who will never do anything more than work in a shop. Airs and graces...

good ol baby face Barrowmen. I am always surprise when i see this episode.

Calvin getting up and grabbing Jack was so funny. It's exactly what I would have done. XD

Hey you, editor guy! Thumbs up for you!👍

Your expressions when they revealed John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness. My friends and I were going ballistic when we saw him in Arrow. You guys have to watch Torchwood now, you know?

Considering it's a family show that kids do watch I think it's rather implied to older audiences rather than flat out told what that 'man' did to make the kid return to London.

idk if youve seen it yet, Jack has a spinoff show called Torchwood

The one with Bakula is Quantum Leap. So good. The Time Agency arose in the wake of the Last Great Time War after the Time Lords fell. Completely separate and different.

not gonna lie. this episode scared the fuck outta me. and it still does. now all these people in the comments saying "are you my mummy" is giving me PTSD of this episode

Just realized that the human "doctor" was the man who played Gaius in the show Merlin!!

This is the episode that started doctor who for me.

Must’ve been hard to keep that Big (face) secret when Jack popped up😂.

I gotta say, I pour concrete ten hours almost everyday so I don't really have time to go out with anyone or really do anything, so these videos are pretty much the only hanging out, watching shows and gaming shit with friends I get these days, even though I've never met these guys haha.

I love this episode 😊

Congratulations, you've just met the first psycholoigcally scarring villain, next one is in Season 3, Episode 7 I believe.

When I first watched this episode my older brother had to leave the room, it scared him too much.

Since the moment I saw you guys were doing Doctor Who, THIS is the moment I've been excited for. This 2-parter, and the other gems to come in future seasons, are what make the show totally worth it through some of it's weaker of cheesier moments.

I was 5 when I watched this this is wild memories

Yep this is basically when John Barrowmans career really takes off

“Who sees a _rope_ in the _sky_ and thinks ‘Yeah, I’ll give that a go, babes!’?”

Best editor ever?

Oh, hey, you'll see Malcolm in his youth. :) Scott Bakula's show was Quantum Leap

You guys totally need to watch torchwood !!!

17:11 Aaron, stop trying to make fetch happen! It's not going to happen!

Patiently waiting for more legion

My sweet summer children. you didn't know about Capt. Jack?!

Time Agents were first mentioned in the 1977 serial "Talons of Weng Chiang" know Jack is the first one we've ever met on the show and honestly we don't know what they do really and bar a character from Torchwood s2 we never meet another one

Balloon to mess with the German planes during the blitz :)

When the guy with big GO TO HELL JESUS beard gets frozen in geek time by the sonic! ha ha ha ha 14:28

I shouldn’t be watching this at night

A great two parter that really creeps me out even now. Something about the gas masks is super spooky and nightmare inducing.

FYI, Captain Jack Harkness had his own series "Torchwood" that was fairly good but short-lived.
