That's what makes The Doctor so unique amongst a multiverse of protagonists spanning over several genres, mediums of story telling, and even eras. Even when it is evident from the get-go that there is just no reasoning with the antognist, that they are just out to kill or destroy or enslave just because they can, he will still afford them as much opportunity as (in)humanly possible to try and explain why they are doing what they are doing and try to reason with them just in case they are misunderstood or victims themselves, even if it comes at a potentially great cost to himself. Whereas pretty much every other protagonist resorts to physical push back when cornored, The Doctor will instead choose to run away and try to think of a peaceful resolution for everybody for as long as he possibly can.

This series the doctor was wrestling with whether or not he was a good man. This speech is really about him saying his thoughts out loud to see what they hear like. He’s unsure about killing the boneless because he’s afraid what that will say about his character. So he’s saying the arguments out loud to check they make sense. He’s not saying this because he’s a good man. He’s saying it because he’s unsure if he is one. He’s trying to justify his actions to himself and anyone who might be listening.

@@DefectiveGrenade. The major thing is that sometimes they have a legitimate reason for their actions, and the Doctor will help them to their goal. In this case, as he said, he tried, but they didn't want to communicate. They were monsters, and he was the man that stops the monsters. Even then, some of them might survive the transfer back to their dimension. The Doctor is the "oncoming storm" because creatures are warned that his arrival is coming, and they have a chance to change their ways!

😇🌎✨ Indeed.

One of my favorites too😃😃😃

One of my favorites is from 11th in his final moment. "We all change, when you think about it. We're all different people. All through our lives. And that's ok, that's good, you've got to keep moving. So long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this. Not one day... I swear... I will always remember when the Doctor was me."

Feare909 same Q__Q I never thought I'd miss Matt Smith but he really grew on me. David Tennant was awesome but Matt really hit me in the feels.

+spartan1010101 I miss 11 so much 😭😭 but i love 12 as well

Same. It's so effective with Capaldi's facial expression and tone of voice.

Indeed.

His despair at having no other option is too beautiful.

Christoper si

He acting is amazing breath taking

Pretty much every Doctor trying to reach out to someone

Wow that's exactly what I feel about this scene !

I agree totally. Capaldi turned out to be a solid doctor, but it took time for him to get there. Its insane how well Murray Gold addressed this in the music. I fell in love with Matt smith from his first episode, and his theme "I am the doctor" perfectly represents this from the first note. Comparably 12's theme "A Good Man" takes a while to get going, but when it does it is reminiscent of a James Horner Epic theme that capaldi has earned.

for me it was mummy on the orient express that made me love him, and for it to be followed by this episode, i can say that 12th doctor is my favourite

For me, it was different. He was the first Doctor who was immediately The Doctor. There was no "getting used to him" period.

@@GamesFromSpace I kinda struggled with Capaldi at first. He was always just... okay. A lesser son of greater sires, as it were. It wasn't that he wasn't the Doctor, it's just that he was horribly overshadowed by Tennant and Smith's Doctors. 10 was the one who ran away, and had so much personality to him, and 11 was the one who fought, and he was so bombastic and threw himself into the role, Capaldi just didn't have his... role. Then 12 came in. And it became clear. He wasn't 10, he didn't run away. He wasn't 11, for he didn't fight. He was 12, the Man who Stops the Monsters. Words and cunning were his weapons. 11 relied on his companions, they were his strength, and for that I loved him. 12 was his own strength. And I respected him for it.

Does that mean the doctor protects planet earth from the monsters?

Someone been playing Fran Bow :).

Nice

PureSmoulder They are much more than just fourth.

Lol, that's a good one!

Almer de Vries Which is?

Almer de Vries But those are two different categories. Do i need to explain the idea of categories to you?

Rule one of facing off against the doctor... don´t. He will try to negotiate truce with the invaders first but if the reject his offer, he will show them NO mercy. Both the boneless and the family of blood have realized this.

Rule 1: The Doctor Lies. If this is true, then rule 1 itself doesn't have to be true. If it's not true, then it's not rule number 1. But if it isn't true, then that technically makes it true, since it's a lie and the Doctor lies. Timey-wimey, rulesy-wulesy. Don't overthink the things that don't actually matter, especially the rule number 1s of each version of the Doctor, namely the main Doctor and all of his surrogates, like Clara. There is no consistency because there doesn't have to be.

Eddie Curtis Rule One of Fighting the Doctor: Don't. Just run. Seriously. RUN!

Some of my favourites was when he fought robot Robin Hood with nothing but a spoon or when he started playing a guitar while standing on a tank.

Forgot about that. Thought you meant he was protecting a Plane (Vehicle)

Christoper si

Reinette "What gives monsters nightmares?" The Doctor: "Me!"

We should all strive to be thr ones who stop the monsters

@@SamuelBlack84 Rather delusional mindset for many in this comment section who actually ARE monsters.

Honestly, if you saw Mummy on the Orient Express and expected anything less than great, then... I just don't know.

+shane55pwnt Me too. I expected both "Mummy On The Orient Express" and "Flatline" to be bad, but I was blown away by those episodes.

Veikko Elo I expected the episode to be cheese. I thought I would be like Fear her and would rely more on gimmicks. It turned out to be on of the most exciting episodes in the season, and I will admit that I was wrong in judging it too soon.

Cryer24597 Same. I expected "Kill The Moon" to be fantastic and I was disappointed. I didn't like "Mummy On The Orient Express" at first when I saw the trailer. But it turned out to be my favourite episode of the series. As for "Flatline", I didn't like the look of it either. Though it was going to be a bad episode. I was so glad I was wrong.

+shane55pwnt one of the better ones...guess who wrote it?

+Paul Fernandes thats what i kinda thought

O... underscore... O... You're so right! xD

They were to lazy to make it look good they just used pictures of the Pandorica XD

+Paul Fernandes Or maybe the Pandorica was designed off of a TARDIS's Seige Mode. After all, something that doesn't allow exit or entry? Provides shielding from the outside world? Sounds familiar~

Maybe the Pandorica is a future Tardis?!

I think that was different since the Carrionites were linked to witchcraft, where names have that kind of power. I think this was more just him saying "you are known now, you won't be able to sneak in again, don't even bother trying"

@@eragonawesome yes but it is still a reference

Theta Signa, The Destroyer of Worlds, The Wizard, The Comedian, Merlin, The Wanderer, The Dark One, the Valeyard, The Professor, The Predator of the Daleks, The Renegade, The Final Judgement, The Lonely God, The Time Lord Victorious, The Raggedy Man, The Mad Monk, The President of Earth, Doctor Mysterio, The Hybrid... Indeed every name has a meaning

@@zmanjz And some of them are very, very dark. Which might be one of the reasons why the raggedy man story is my personal favourite in this regard. Not the best, but definitively the one I like the most.

@@zmanjz u somehow missed the one that gets used the most: the oncoming storm

he definitely was a good doctor ... 4th best for me ... tom baker being best tennant and smith being close 2nd and 3rd with capaldi a close 4th ... they truly embraced the role and lived upto the baker era expectations ...

Capaldi's my favorite Doctor. He imbues the Doctor with gravitas, contained love, repressed grief and barely leashed rage. I always enjoy Tennant, but I adore Capaldi.

NuclearOnion I think the producers knew that too, which is why they put it so early in the season. If you'll notice, every time the Doctor regenerates, he has a moment that shows the best of the Doctor, a hero and a negotiator before a warrior, to remind audiences that this is the same man, just a different personality.

NuclearOnion same

NuclearOnion I agree this moment made me like him

NuclearOnion bassicly run was 11 his moment

NuclearOnion like david?

i don't think we ever see the tardis make a shield like thing before or after that this ep (i mean acturally see not just implied like all the times its doors have been opened to space)

@@qvcybe It wasn't visible like on this episode, but even as far back as during the 9th Doctor's run, it was established that the TARDIS does have/can have a shield around it. It was when the Doctor traveled to inside a dalek ship. The daleks started shooting and the shots stopped dead on the shield.

@@MikeDragon i forgot about that but i do wish more of what the tardis can do was shown off like it making shields or things like that

@@qvcybe It would be neat, for sure!

@@MikeDragon granted i would love if they allowed the tardis to talk even if it was just for another ep (kind of like what happened before)

...take it easy it's just a drawing

The Boneless will never forget that speech.

I thought he said bumrush

The boneless! I never knew what they were called before your comment.... Seen the episode multiple times and could never properly hear what Peter says with the music and sound effects.

The Doctor: I tried to talk. I want you to remember that. I tried to reach out, I tried to understand you but I think that you understand us perfectly. And I think you just don’t care. And I don’t know whether you are here to invade, infiltrate or just replace us. I don’t suppose it really matters now. You are monsters. That is the role you seem determined to play. So it seems I must play mine. The man that stops the monsters. I’m sending you back to your own dimension. Who knows? Some of you may even survive the trip. And if you do, remember this - you are not welcome here. This plane is protected. I am the Doctor. And I name you The Boneless.The Doctor: I tried to talk. I want you to remember that.

Except my dad's account

@@Dylanhawkins2457 Been there.

@@Dylanhawkins2457 why does your dad have a thicc crewmate pfp

@@fallen5983 my sister chose it

Sadly with 13 the beauty stopped

@@legendaryseph9406 13s run had its ups and downs It was mostly downs but still

it honestly hurts how much 13s era killed my enjoyment of the show. Its not jodies fault, chibnall just couldn't write decent stories or characters

@@TheAnakinchosen1 I honestly feel this comment so much -_- jodie is a wonderful actress who could've been a fantastic doctor if the writing had been better. With Chibnall it almost felt like he was trying to turn the show completely on it's head by challenging almost every aspect of the Doctor's character. Take for instance that little "moment" with Graham. *Spoilers* I feel like the Doctor would understand the implications of a ravaging disease and the fear that accompanies that, such as Graham with his fear of getting cancer again. Instead, we get a severely socially awkward moment where she stumbles around the topic to almost avoid it. It didnt feel right, especially for someone you consider your "fam". It was a disappointing reaction from someone who's supposed to be your friend. TL/DR: Chibnall's writing was lacking and Jodie/13 deserved. So. Much. Better.

look for dr. who instead of doctor who and find the early years ... they set the majority of the reboot story lines ... tom baker is (for me) where the doctor truly became the doctor ... he did his best to fix poor judgments ... or miscommunications ... he gave new enemies a chance to survive ... if they chose to keep doing what they were doing he removed them ... . as for when I first saw dr wno ... was when it started ... yeah I aint no spring chicken ... and I have seen every episode ... took me forever to get through the jodie whitaker era ... but then she was more dora the explorer ... she spent every episode finding herself and not being the doctor ...

I hope one day they explain WHY clara keeps popping back up for the doctor ... sure she is the impossible girl ... and cute as heck ... but that is one part of her story that is never fully answered ... just peaked into on occasion

@@kaboom-zf2bl I think that was explainined in episode when they wisited Doctor's gerave.

@@Karak-_- nope they just keep calling her impossible ..

​@@kaboom-zf2blIt literally was explained in that episode..... By jumping into the Grave of the Doctor, Clara splintered herself across his timeline to Make sure the Great Intelligence was unable to kill the Doctor.

@@kaboom-zf2bl Someone didn't watch a VERY important 11th Doctor episode....

+Portalgecko Not only that but they are original. Not just for Doctor Who, but for SciFi in general.

+Ionut Maris Yeah... no... yeah... not realy... just for me, i thought the weeping angels were something new and i havnt seen anything like them, but 2 dimensional creatures, arent something completly new. There have been some episodes in "ST:TNG" and in another series... but i can't remember the name... im looking for that show since 2 years... and cant finde it ._.

+Ionut Maris You're kidding. 2D beings are not new to sci fi.

fjvideo I know they aren't. But they aren't used to much in SciFi.

EchelonGaming Well at least the Vasta Nerada are: 1. not killing you at all or 2. killing you so fast, you wont even notice. And the Weeping angels, yes they are hella creepy when you meet them and they just move when you blink or lool away. But can you imagine the fear you are feeling when your body turns away from 3D in to 2D ? Just imagin, that the Ground is "sucking you up" And yes, maybe it takes just 1-2 seconds, but i would be scared if i would notice just one milli second of this proces.

+MasterEnsis The rule number one has changed through the show.

Christoper si

I know right?

Yeah and that energy burst from the Tardis shields

@@bentravis21 The TARDIS is just thinking "you're in my way please MOVE!"

Notice that you don't see it grow throughout that landing sequence? They pull a nifty trick of perspective that I believe is a nod to an older episode where the Doctor describes how the TARDIS can be bigger on the inside by saying that a large box can fit inside a smaller box if it is very far away so that it appears smaller than the small box.

Abel Yep.

yeah, I love his floof!

Yeah it gives him that eccentric doctor look

Hell yeah

His hair and eyebrows need a spin-off.

To be fair, Time Lords in general seem to have a "high on regeneration energy" issue, and since Twelve is the _first life_ of a particularly explosively-started new regeneration cycle, it only makes sense he'd take longer to "reboot" and remember his purpose...

+Alex James While this IS an AWESOME speech, I personally liked the one in the finale a teeny tiny bit better. But meh, to each his / her own.

+Alex James It will be hard, as this one is on par with some of Matt Smith's and Sylvester McCoy's.

+DalekTheSupreme or Tennant's, "I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the Constellation of Kasterborous. I'm 903 years old and I'm the man who is gonna save your lives and all 6 billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?"

It's 12s equivalent to "The Rings of Akhaten" speech. 😉

+Brandon Ottinger (JaqenH'ghar80) nice

The way Clara threw the sonic to the Doctor without needing to make eye contact reminds me of their high-five at the end of Hide
