Basically how it goes, is that when Nine first met Rose he'd only just freshly regenerated at that point, then had 100 years' worth of adventures after taking off, and when he returned he told her "By the way, did I forget to mention it also travels in time?" which is when he's confirmed "900" years old.

@@danmenard6917 but how in the hell could he have fought in the time war and been all jolly when he came back, the war doctor makes more sense than the 9th doctor as the doctor who fought in the time war

I love John Hurt but my perfect version of the story doesn't involve him at all. We meet the 8th Doctor as a Time War veteran, one who was dragged into the conflict unwillingly and now has blood on his hands. He's seemingly killed and becomes the 9th, a new man hell bent on ending the conflict. He takes the final timelord weapon, the moment to end the war and is propelled along his own timeline to meet his latter incarnations, 10 and 11. Together they fend off an invasion from the Zygons and he returns to press the button. End the very end he is joined by his two future selves. As a trio they do it together. Essentially, the big change is that we have McGann passing the torch as the longest serving Doctor and the one who bridges the gap between classic and Nu Who and we celebrate all that has come after with the three actors who have done it. Again, I love Hurt, but in a perfect world, this is how it should have played out. And oh, the time war is shown a bit better than this. Awesome reality warping weapons, we see other timelords like warped versions of the Doctor using their genius to commit large scale destruction. We see bizarre techno-organic monsters clashing with desperate warriors barely holding their own... just... something more than the typical lasers.

@@braddsfx8921 I wasn't denying that. Also a lot of times people who hide great pain hide it behind jovial personalities. Nine was born thinking he had killed everyone he'd ever known and cared about, and his home. He still comes off as the soldier freshly returned home from war. Really though it was War Doctor who did(n't) destroyed Gallifrey, and that is fine with me.

@@danmenard6917 or maybe he was depressed and isolated himself in the tardis for a 100 years, and didn’t want to look at himself

I legit used to have jelly babies on top of my birthday cakes

Tom Baker is the best. I wish he was my Grandfather and jelly babies on cakes is that good

Absolutely! Although I still have to wonder why Hurt's character is called the "War Doctor". He's not the Doctor anymore and his predecessor asked the Sisterhood of Karn to make him a warrior so why not call him "the Warrior"?

He is called the doctor of war within the series, and the warrior doesn’t really like that

I swear I cheered when I heard his voice the first time I watched it.

That’s honestly really wholesome.

Grandad sounds super cool. Grandma too.

Grandad and Grandma are wholesome ❤

That touches the heart in the best way.

Good man 🫡🤫

I think a lot of that was more that the Doctor was being introduced to a new era and new audience, and at that point it wasn’t even clear if Nu Who was even going to be a clear continuation of the classic series. I don’t think it’s necessary to read into it too much, as the early Ninth Doctor’s tenure is a bit ambiguous (remember that in the same episode it implies that Nine has already been around for a while without Rose).

Nice point! Well done that man!

Yes the Eighth Doctor fought in the Time War and wiped out the Daleks and the Time Lords and then regenerated into the Ninth. He stumbles out of the TARDIS in a vacant lot mumbling incoherently while still wearing the Eighth Doctor's costume in the "Have you Seen this Man?" website (which is shown in Rose) testimonials section. It's implied that he goes on a few adventures but Rose is the first time he gets a look at his own face. He also may have suffered post-regenerative amnesia or other side effects during this time, so it's VERY plausible that he's been around for a while AND is still adjusting to his new body by the events of Rose.

Unless you consider the very first episode of new who where we are shown through the website who is the doctor that he had at the very least a dozen or, so adventure.

@@joshuareynolds23 But for a time traveler, those could’ve easily happened in just 24 hours

He did start young. We saw the newly regenerated War Doctor as a young John Hurt in a reflection, which means he fought the Time War long enough to age to where we saw him in the special. The Time War took many, many, many centuries, possibly millennia before its conclusion. The Time Lords were desperate enough to resurrect frigging Rassilon, for crying out loud, the man almost everything in Time Lord society is named after, a known psycho.

It's weird that we clearly see that War Doctor was young but Big Finish also went straight to the old one

@@Tim_Belay A bit, but its hard to mask Sir John Hurt's aged timbre to his voice and pass it off as young. Other Doctors have pulled it off, but Hurt's voice is gravel by default. I dunno, I'm just glad he at least had a crack at the audios before his unfortunate passing. Any other Time War shinanegans we want to experience would be done through The War Master (Sir Derek Jacobi's Master we briefly saw in Utopia) audios.

@@Tim_Belay Big Finish have recently announced they're doing a new boxset featuring a freshly regenerated War Doctor. They found a voice actor who sounds very much like John Hurt. www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-the-war-doctor-begins-forged-in-fire-2363

Completely agree with you

Yes I love that.

A beautiful explanation from 1973 and it still holds up.

That's practically canon. In "Day of" 11 meets the Curator who tells him he saved Gallifrey, and 11 is planning to go back "the long way round." But by the beginning of "Time of" 11 doesn't even know whether he has saved Gallifrey or not; that information has faded from his memory.

That is exactly how the doctor would do it

@@Tonatsi Yeah, it definitely does sound like The Doctor

@@welkingunther5417 well it was written by Moffat. It's a really good read if you watching this video

I like that the 9th Doctor regenerated as soon as he went back into his TARDIS because Hurt's content performance in his final scene shows that his memories were still intact. He deserved a happy ending after the hell he went through in the Time War. And just to clarify, Hurt is the 9th Doctor, Ecclestone is the 10th, Tennant is the 11th, Smith is the 12th and Capaldi is the 13th.

@@tomnorton4277 they’re still referred to as tenant being 10, smith 11, and capaldi 12. Hurt is considered the war doctor instead of a genuine iteration

@@WarpSpeedGames Hurt won people over in a single episode. I think it's insulting to not include him as a proper incarnation. He's the 9th Doctor.

@@tomnorton4277 No let's just stick with the offical numbering, it's less confusing

I remember that vicerally. He had clearly just regenerated, it's how they introduced him. And I thought that was great.

It was... weird. I honestly don't think RTD throughly planned that out (he really isn't the God of writing I see a bunch of loyalist declare). In Rose 9 acted like he just regenerated, but throughout series 1 (which was apparently just a year or so) he acted like he personally acted in the time war and was familiar with that regeneration. I always assumed that 9 fought in the time war because it felt like that was suggested throughout his run; without that one scene in Rose, I'd never assume it was 8. At that time (series 1) the Time War was only ever mentioned and used as a plot device to push the story along, so I really don't think RTD knew or cared which Doctor fought in the time war (and TBF it didn't matter much for the story).

@@vullord666 To be fair- going back to the whole theme of this episode- at the end of the day, The Doctor is still The Doctor, regardless of regeneration. Even if it was 8 who actually pushed the button, it would still be fresh on 9's mind; just as it hasn't really left during 10's time either.

I thought that he was already quite a while around, travelling the world and time after the war. He was so ashamed of himself that he wouldn't look at himself for years. I think that actually adds up with the age but I'm not sure about that.

@@JacktheRah the doctors age is bullshit because of a variety of reasons. Beyond that there are a few comic and prose that talk about 9’s adventures post the time war

Yeah and I think it’s highly rewatchable. One of the best regens!

Absolutely. "It makes that noise because he leaves the brakes on." "I LIKE THAT NOISE!"

Every TARDIS makes that noise. River Song is a moron.

I think I cried when I first saw that bit.

The reason why the 11th stays 11th not 12th and so on is Because John hurt is not the doctor but the doctor of war

*The Moment

Those ladies love proximity to power, but I guess the opposite is also true

Only ladies around the doctor that way should be TARDIS and River... and maybe Missy/Master.

You gotta admit when Rose and Amy met him they were pretty helpless

I'm not sure if this is not supposed to be a Hamilton reference and if it is good job man

You are literally everywhere

I loved her as the moment! I always found Rose an annoying character, and I held if against Billie Piper, figuring she was playing herself. Then when I saw her playing such a different character as the moment, I realized that before I had been witnessing a talented actor intentionally playing an irritating character. And she totally sold it! Withe the Moment I gained new respect for the actors skill and abilities!

@@jayanderson9375 OMG i thought I was the only one who liked her as the moment more!

It also made sense because Rose was the companion that helped the 9th doctor out of his grief from the time war situation. So it felt very fitting.

I think back when i was younger, i missed that it wasnt rose, but deeply appreciated billies performance

Bad Wolf.

I think that the shepherd's boy is the best track in Doctor Who

I don’t necessarily agree with this but it makes me happy seeing someone so happy about something

It was ridiculous, and they had to top that moment by having Thirteen even more ridiculously fall out completely.

If I had a quarter every time an episode started off with Smith hanging off the tardis I would have two quarters which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Sometimes it's nice to watch a show not knowing the background. I started watching who and none told me about it and none of my friends watched it I just came across it several years ago. I just enjoy every episode for what it is, but game of thrones which I was into since day one I nitpick constantly. When you become a serious fan you have invested so much emotion into the show that it makes it feel like more than a tv show.....idk if that makes any sense

Honestly my interpretation of him being a "Warrior" is more a willingness to break his rules - the doctor has always been somewhat superhuman, be it his intelligence, or his two hearts. He doesn't need to physically power up. Instead the idea that he was always capable of doing all of those things, the war doctor was simply the first incarnation that removed the limits he placed on himself, is far more powerful to me.

When 8 regenerates into the War Doctor, the reflection is clearly of a young John Hurt so you are probably right.

Yeah defiantly! That’s why we see the reflection of younger John hurt in the reflection

Time war would’ve been raging for centuries. Hurt’s doctor starts off young as seen in his post regeneration reflection and we know it takes timelords centuries to age to death

I really love the idea that the warrior doctor is an old man. Its similar to 12 (no offence to Capaldi), the fact that he doesn't have ti be the young rogue to be the doctor.

what season 13? never heard about it.

@@augustusaurelius2628 There are 36 series or "seasons" of Who so far, as there have been since the hiatus began in 2017. The one between S12 and S14 is Tom Baker's second (although it began not long after the slightly shorter S12) from Terror of the Zygons through The Seeds of Doom!

That word makes me want to weep.

To the point that even the Time Lords would rather try to work with him than try to capture or reign him in. He is a rogue agent with a good heart, and something like that is an unstoppable force. Better to try and get on its good side than to get in their way.

I can just imagine him strolling in there. Not even sneaking just materializing outside (I assume the time lords have some kind of TARDIS block). The guards see the Police Box, put down their weapons, and open the door for him.

@@vullord666 He managed to convince the guards he was already inside, so they had to open the door.

@@FullFatVideos Excuse me Cattle Man. If I may ask, if you ever watched Forrest Gump, and if you would ever consider a Review. If you haven't, just know it's beautiful.

John Hurt always maintained a childlike enthusiasm even in his old age. When you see that wizened old face beaming and laughing joyfully whilst shouting "That is good! That is brilliant!" it somehow works. John Hurt wasn't an old man trying to pretend that he's young. He was an old man with a young spirit. Retaining that spirit of youth at Hurt's age is something that precious few people can pull off.

he said it with a bit different wording in Three Doctors as well. Patrick and Jon were so great together

@@MichaelM28 Pfft. Three Doctors is better, but Five? Cmon. I love it, but it's not a good story.

@@EatinPaste yeh, glad he's coming back to do more stories now tho

ikr like imo christopher is such a good doctor, even better than 10 imo,, and he got just 1 series ?? i hate that sm

Not a missed opportunity per say. The BBC just simply wouldn't let the DW team have Mcgann reprise his role.

@@killernyancat8193 That is a terrible decision to make. Its horrible, and quite detrimental to the story itself.

They had to use War Doctor and 10-1 plus 10-2 to push Eleven's regeneration count from ten (First was zero regenerations, remember) to twelve ("last one"). There was no way for previous writers to predict that Chinball's Timeless Child would take a wrecking ball to the whole concept of limitations, even so much as "full cycles being bestowable by the Time Lords" first presented as a reward for the Master in The Five Doctors. Timeless Child is "solving" a writing problem Dr Who would have maybe had somewhere around its 75th Anniversary (assuming the pattern of actors staying in the role roughly three years remains)

It’s completely fine if it’s your favourite. But the best New Who episode is Midnight. And personally I thought DotD was not that good

McGann's performance in The Night of the Doctor makes me wish he were the war Doctor.

I think the 8th doctor would have been a better choice than John Hurt. I really like the John Hurt but It would have made more sense to have it be the 8th doctor.

If I remember correctly, Moffat didn’t want Paul McGann to take on the role of the War Doctor bc he claimed that he wasn’t “good enough” of an actor to take on such an intense role

@@hannahmerlino2462 I don't know where you heard that, but that's plain untrue. What he has said on record is that he just couldn't see Paul's 8th Doctor being the one to commit double genocide. Given how he was the romantic, joyous, heroic Doctor even through the Big Finish episodes (which NOTD canonised, so Moffat was aware of them). And he retains this romantic, tragic hero trait even in NOTD. 8 says he helps were he can and refuses to fight in the War, and I think that's Moffat's thinking on 8's role coming out. I personally don't know if I agree with him, but it definitely wasn't because he knocked McGann's acting. He's one of the best British actors today, and he has been for decades

I kind of get the critique that War doesn't feel tangibly different from a standard Doctor, just with more self-loathing. But at the same time, that's kind of the thesis statement of The Day of the Doctor. As Ten said, "Pretending you weren't the Doctor when you were the Doctor more than anyone." This is the Doctor reckoning with the fact that they've *always* been capable of doing horrible things. Given that Ten is fresh off The Waters of Mars in his timeline he knows that better now than ever. So War was no less the Doctor for his participation in the Time War. One could even argue that this ties into Twelve's internal struggle in the immediate next season about whether or not he's a "good man."

As a massive Moffat fan I was looking forward to reading the novel. I wondered how-or if-his genius for subverting form would translate to prose. I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed when I saw the “first” chapter was Chapter 8.

@@robthorpe5388 Chapter 9 was the best.

Preach👏👍

Yeah tbh it's kinda dirty how Paul had a couple minute video showing us his regeneration, meaning we may never see our beloved Mcgann on screen again And on a side note as much as I was super excited to see my Doctor again (Tennant) I still prefer to watch The 3 Doctors...

Omg it was 55 minutes?!

yeah 55 min, I could have seen the special again

Well, yes. But the comparison is a bit unfair, Mat got one of the best written new who episodes as his introduction while David’s introduction and subsequent episodes were a bit bland. I think it was mostly in the writing. When David got well written episodes he was superb.

My first Doctor was Tom Baker.

To be honest I felt like it was a reversal in how I appreciated the doctors. Smith drew me in immediately but I felt that the quality of his run declined with each passing season whereas I felt Tenants last season is easily his best

@@fivestarman5130 that actually puts it in way better words than what I was tryna say

Matt had a better writer for his episodes and bigger budget. But i like both doctors. Both are my favorites. I don’t compare doctors they are all great to me.

Well I got news for you. It doesn't get any better.

@@sporkfaceman unfortunately. Though at least he's trying to do stuff with Chinball's crap

I'm really hoping now they've got Eccleston returning as Nine that they do a story about Nine assuming he went through with his plan and destroyed Gallifrey and making the choice that he can now become The Doctor once more. I know The War Doctor accepts the title of Doctor by the end of the 50th, but he would have forgotten the moment he left Ten and Eleven behind and changed into Nine.
