I love how the Beast is voiced by Gabriel Woolf, who had already played a God of destruction in 'Doctor Who before this, as Sutekh in the Tom Baker story 'Pyramids of Mars' in 1975.

My cat's name is Toby. I'm totally going to start quoting, "I'm behind you Toby. Don't look at me!"

That Toby "bathing in the black sun" scene got me hooked on Murray Gold's music!

I was literally buying stamps today. Cashier was like "6 for 6 6 6. Oh sorry"

I love how Rose gets a little flushed and embarrassed when she realizes she's talking about shacking up with the Doctor. I also love the overall creepy vibe of the story. Really nice reaction ladies, can't wait to see the next installment!

The actor playing the head of security (Mr. Jefferson) was in Alien 3.

13:44 Because they always have the security of the Tardis which is O.P. Soon as they lost it...shit just got real. Two things to keep in mind. 1. Rose is just a kid. She has over confidence in the Doctor that he will always save the day 2. And the doctor.. I could write a 5 page essay as to why he's chipper. It's just a surface persona, trust me. It doesn't take much for him to throw it out the window and get serious. But he's the one thing that helps shed light and hope on all of these dire situations. He's trying to teach others that life doesn't have to always be doom and gloom if you learn how to get some perspective and appreciate exactly what's going on. There's always bad and good things happening. Most only fixate on the bad.

OMG, you can sense the fear in Paula!! I can't wait for Thursday's episode!!

i always love the atmosphere of these episodes, lonely, scary and hopeless, but also beautiful in a weird way. they'll always be special to me

These two episodes have to be in the top 15 of all of new who. It's been ages since the show last gave us an episode THIS good.

10:10 That spacesuit is the Doctor's spacesuit. 11 and 12 have also worn it.

Note to self: never name my child Toby.

06:40 Oh hey! Paula makes the same face when she plays Resident Evil! 😆

Not taking it seriously was something The Doctor and Rose were called out on by Queen Victoria back in Tooth and Claw. Great two parter. Can't wait for Thursday.

So Paula thinks the Doctor & Rose aren't taking things seriously enough...give it a few episodes. ;)

Some People who get into a scary situation don't want to show how scared they really are. They cover it up with jokes or pretending they don't take it seriously.

So Who else looks forward to Thursday & Friday now just for these reactions?

Season 2 did have a bit of a "smug kids go laugh at the aliens" tone to it. And later, this evolved into the Doctor getting REALLY arrogant, calling himself grand titles, declaring personal immunity to the laws of time, etc. As cool as David Tennant was, his Doctor had a massive ego problem.

Ah yes, the first "Doctor Who" episode I've ever seen. That and the 1 that made me fall in love with David the first second he stepped out of the TARDIS.

1:31 Future reference for Katrina: Chairs are very useful! (The Crimson Horror :v)

"This went to hell in a handbasket real fast" LOL! :D:D This was creepy! This was an excellent episode. And the questions you raise were handled really well.. I liked seeing the Doctor's views challenged. In the end... oh well, just watch. :D I agree about how lightly Rose and the Doctor take things. I think when nine regenerated into ten, he was very affected by Rose and "picked up" some of her youth. I kinda think he does pick up stuff from his previous "life" when regenerating. Go back to the werewolf one-- he and rose were GIDDY about the adventure-- not really taking it seriously. I think Rose trusts him so much, and has grown in ability to face things- so she doesn't see the risk. And I think the doctor, who as Nine was war scarred, is just enjoying the "youth" -- almost like having a mid life crisis. Will it all catch up with them? We will see.

Yes, this season the Doctor and Rose seem to be running each other's fan clubs and getting overly confident about everything. A lot of us suspected they were being set up for a major fall at some point, but you'll have to stick it out and see. This two-parter is great, and the final story is also really good. (Sorry about the two in between, when you get to them.)

The Ood are from the Ood Sphere and Sensorites come from the Sense Sphere, in the same system. The Ood are also basically New Who's Monoids.

Love the music in this episode

Fun fact Russel T Davies didn’t actually write these 2 episodes it was Matt Jones who wrote them

OMG, finally we are here, this is my favourite Tennant's two-parts story 😁

We are the legion of the beast. The legion shall be many; and the legion shall be free. He has woven himself in the fabric of your life since the dawn of time. Some may call him Abaddon. Some may call him Krop Tor. Some may call him Satan. Or Lucifer. Or the King of Despair. The Deathless Prince. The Bringer of Night. And these are the words that shall set him free...I am the sin; and the temptation. And the desire. And the pain and the loss.The Beast and his Armies shall rise from the Pit to make war against God. I shall become manifest. I shall walk in night. I have been imprisoned in eternity.....but no more!

In all the times I've watched this episode, I only just noticed The Doctor saying 666 (6 to the power of 6 every 6 seconds).

Were you sponsored by "Braids R Us" this week ?! Lol great reaction as always ..Paula looked terrified bless

I just noticed you don't appear to have watched David Tennant's first full episode which was a Christmas special, you seem to have started watching from 2x01 New Earth, that wasn't his first episode, the Christmas Special which was his first episode carried on directly from the end of "Season 1" after he had just changed. It would be best if you watched the special episodes in the order they're shown in, i.e. between the seasons. His first episode was actually quite a strong story too and was a Jacqui heavy episode so there's lot of laughs, plus I think it's the first time he meets "Ricky" :)

Beast is actually the one of the Old ones - beings that lived before our world.

This episode terrified me as a lad, the squid people and just the thought of the beast scared me.

I should look up this Alien movie and watch it, I swear almost every reactor mentions it when they watch this episode, lol.

This is the episode where the Doctor & Rose's smugness reached an all-time high.

These 2 episodes are my favorites.

I love this two parter as a DW fan and as an atheist. One of my favourite stories from the Russell T. Davies era.

Best 2 episodes of this season

How have I only just realised that "six to the power of six every six seconds" is 666...?

Just in time!

I've rewatched these two episodes so many times but only just got the 6 6 6 joke

This was a very entertaining reaction. It's amazing how this show draws you in. I'm looking forward to the part two reaction. Later Gallifrey girls.

This episode was originally show around 6th of June 2006, or 6/6/06.... hence the devilish theme..

Great reaction and episode look forward to your next one.

GONNA LIKE THIS JUST FOR THE OPENING JOKE

Fantastic reaction!

Yussss. I love this episode.

hold on is that the same actress who played Dr. Helen Magnus from the tv series called Sanctuary?

Paula has hit the nail on the head - my problem with the Doctor/Rose pairing was that their "we're so happy together!" attitude frequently cuts in on the well-devised and suspenseful storytelling. I think you'll enjoy part two more.

don`t you open that trap door

(edit, see below) The Beast was voiced by Stephen Thorne, who was the voice of the villain Omega in classic Who, Omega having been trapped inside a black hole. When the black hole setting for this episode came out well in advance, people really thought this was going to be Omegas return. Ironically, it was Thorne's OTHER guest starring role in the classic story The Daemons, where he played, well, a daemon, that was the inspiration in casting him here.

he was from the third aliens not the second

0:18 I see the devil

I remember when this aired back in the day haha scared me a bit but I loved it, looking forward to the next episode ladies!

3:53 666 the number of the beast

Such an Ood episode! I have to say, I was never comfortable with the essentially slave nature of the Ood in this episode.

Just asking, what do people think of the new BBC series that's reuniting the Tenth Doctor and Rose? www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/new-doctor-who-spin-off-meta-crisis-announced-90647.htm No spoilers!

You found the DBZ nerd, I'm only 4 years late.

"My mom would be so angry"....Why??

PPPPAAAAAAAUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! y u no hav CHIPS??!!?!?!?!!? No chips with Doctor Who??? tsk tsk tsk :D

always nice to see two beautiful ladies on my sub page

Russel T Davies didn't write this one!

Forgot how bad tennants hair looked in this episode

Not going to lie, this 2 parter is creepy as hell! Russell’s era is the best era!

Could hardly hear the two of you at times sadly. Anyway if you think this is scary wait till you get to "Blink".

When I was younger, watching Doctor Who was pretty much a guarantee that I would never see a pretty woman and all these years later, you're watching and commenting on the show.

you will see everyone the doctor travels with expect amy and rory are gay or in a interracial relationship starting with rose and captain jack

Im guessing you guys dont like this series. I mean its not like you are plowing through the season like its nothing. If you would be true fans you would publish an episode every day :p all joking aside, a few years later he encounters something else impossible... where they out of name ideas? I cant wait till you guys reach the Capaldi era. A couple of the best speeches are found there :) I have great respect for Eccleston, Tennant and Smith but there is something in Capaldi's Doctor that maybe due to his own age comes across as ancient, grumpy but like he would say kind ;) keep m coming ;)

The ood are odd, very off putting, sorry kinda kathulu looking

The episode audio is way too loud. At times it's impossible to make out what you're saying.

I feel like someone doesn't have the right attitude for this show. this show is fun and whimsical and adventurous, and of course it has it's serious moments, but ONE of you wants it to be more serious, which if you really sit down and think about it, would change the whole dynamic and direction of the show. Just consider watching this brilliant show with more wonder and imagination in your heart.

\|/ This two episode story arc has just ALWAYS stuck with me for some Ood reason. (Heh... sorry.) I mean, I dunno why exactly, though, not really; it isn't as if the writing or dialog was all that exceptional in this specific storyline, nor was the acting as impressive or great as it eventually did get to be... I'm just sayin', y'all... That this story's arc and the execution in its making... Well, it just wasn't the "make me tear up with the feels," levels of great that more than a few of Doctor Who's other storyline arcs just so undeniably HAVE risen to, at times... heh, ya know? I guess that it was simply the story's overarching concept... Alongside that original'ish methodology of the devil's imprisonment... wherein there is this unspecified utilization of a Black Holes' gravitational warping and the physics of mass inside and outside of the near-event-horizon P.O.N.R. gravitational field imprisonment that the insidious legendary myth of "THE" original, Beastform Satan, was being kept trapped within... Kinda neat. Oh, that... AND The Doctor just deciding to actually leap(drop) into the literal unknown depths of a Hell Pit; ahh... and lastly, the Ood are just so memorable and are just innately some of the creepiest and more horrific out of the myriad different monstrously alien "Doctor Who" races... I mean, those damned implanted speech orbs on them were just messed up as all nine hells, man... Ha! Now, I, personally, just sincerely would not really wish to have all of my labor force and servants being required to be one of these disturbingly disgusting, mutilated, and enslaved lifeform... And yet, they were once a benign, peaceful alien race... That was some rather interesting stuff. But hey, that's just me... Ha!

damn back when the channel was good
