People are a-holes, that is why. (actually I don't really believe that... some people are) It's funny/sad how often people confront people for having handicap placards and seemingly being healthy enough. Just stay in your own lane. To quote Roy Kent "that's none of my f'ing business!"

It's got to come from some sort of inferiority complex, right? Like... the fear that someone else is cheating the system and getting one over on them. It sucks.

@@PaulaDeming I usually think that it comes from poor moral beings, whenever I run into someone who first thought is that people are trying to cheat the system, it's because that is the way they think, they would cheat if they thought they could get away with it and so are assuming everyone else is doing exactly that. That is why I think certain politics think the worse about people, that they are trying to game the system, because they themselves would cheat the system.

@@cardsfanboy kinda like honestly if people were good. i don't think communism or socialism would have any real problems compared to democracy and capitalism. in fact it might eliminate several inefficiencies in the system. unfortunately on the whole people are awful so things don't work

Yeah, I bet Ruth Madeley, the actress who plays Shirley, she has spina bifida and is actually in a wheelchair. She can stand and move around a little with out it but I bet she cops a lot of people saying what was said in the episode.

It was even stranger for me, the moment Mel came on I was drinking carrot juice.

I WAS SCREAMING WHEN MEL WAS THERE AND LIKE OMG SEEING HER WITH SHIRLEY WAS EVERYTHING (even if its not hebe who i still think shirley secretly is)

@@Arizonaguy1856 Shirley is almost certainly Hebe in my headcanon

@@alexsimpkin5620 THANK YOUU!!!!!!!!!!!!! when she was like "im shirley" i was like "no?" im hoping big finish does something with that..... UGGHHHH MEL WAS EVEN THERE LIKE RTD WHY WASNT SHE HEBE

@@StevenHouse1980 'Carrot juice! Carrot juice! Carrot juice!' 🥕🥕

Carrot Juice? Carrot Juice???

That would be an even more insane and contrived thing for Russell to pull out his ass instead of just what’s presented in the episode, because that raises a thousand other questions about how this works and why we’ve literally never heard about it before.

@@Longshanks1690 i assume bc it's a legend and it only came true bc of the toymaker's powers.

But we have heard of something like that before... The Valeyard.

Or because that superstition allowed more than just the toy maker in.

@@iwillcry The Toymaker seemed pretty damn shocked by something that he caused 😂

15 got the sandshoes too...

That was my very first thought!

I mean it destroyed my theory that the doctor was always going commando

@@quazz79 I live in Argentina. What does "going commando" mean?

@@cargo71Going commando means not wearing underwear under your clothes.

I've rewatched it since (already lol) and definitely caught all of the extra laughter!!

This is it, exactly. While we don't understand what bigeneration is, beyond a way for the Doctor to heal some from everything from 9-13 has gone through, RTD has basically confirmed that 14 lives with the Noble-Temple's (presumably for the rest of their lives? Not sure but I love that idea) and at some point in the future, dies. But time motherfuckery (timey-wimey is far too tame considering what an absolute mind-fuck bigeneration is from the perspective of time travel) occurs and the 14th Doctor essentially goes back in time, bigenerates into 15. The 15th Doctor is the 14th, after all the time spent with Donna and her family. Both absurdly confusing and relatively simple to understand. He may not be completely healed, but he lived for quite a while and happily and that's why the 15th is so immediately different and helpful and presumably influenced by his time with Donna and her family. So no, they're still the same Doctor, confirmed by RTD. Basically, it's a very soft reboot of the series for the benefit of Disney+ watchers, so they don't have to wade through 62 years of established canon to enjoy the new show on their streaming service. It helps _us_ enter a new era for the Doctor. Personally I thought it was a great move. I know people _hate_ it, but that's just people; unless you're doing things exactly how they prefer they'll always rag on Gatwa for no other reason than their preferences weren't met.

Now the Doctor is like a Binary Star

it'll be interesting if we get any confirmation of a time loop of sorts as Davids subtitles revert to him being called the Tenth Doctor after the bigeneration.

I think it did for every boy and every girl.

But surely there were some keks somewhere in the Unit Tower?

Just because they both have red nail polish doesn’t mean Kate picked up the tooth

@@TheAppeyes Absolutely true. Yet when looking at the nails they look 100% exactly the same shape and color. So it is possible that we are being tricked for certain.

@@timescales i still think it was the Rani

​@@timescalesI also think it was likely Kate, especially with her UNIT spinoff coming.

@@ImmortalBroken Didn't know there was a UNIT spinoff coming but it makes sense. Having the Master in it also makes sense. Good stuff!

Thank you.💅

And even with all that spinning, she didn't sprain her ankle either! 💃

That was odd. Throwing hate at Moffat, even when he has zero to do with the story.

Yeah but of the many many many many wonderful things Moffat brought to the show his over use of the regeneration fake out (first done by RTD in the stolen earth) was not one of them@@NicoleM_radiantbaby

Q was pretty evil right, from what i remember. Or maybe not evil but the same as the toymaker, good and bad are foreign concepts to them, they just do as they please

We were saying the exact same thing!! When he came in for the dance scene my husband was like, "Oh he's Q!"

Yeah, it's kinda genius really - the classic Doctors were all a bit eccentric but hadn't really suffered _catastrophic_ trauma (some loss, sure, but we all suffer that at some point), then 9 was fresh from the time war, angry and damaged beyond belief, 10 was lonely and regretful, and a bit uncertain of who he was (the time lord victorious was a symptom of desperately looking for meaning in the ashes of everything he once knew), 11 was a chaotic bubbling mess who just kept busy and energetic to avoid having to really stop and process anything, and whenever he had a quiet moment what came out was mostly quiet anger, 12 was grumpy and weary but trying his best to just hold to his ideals despite being so tired that he wanted to finally die for good, then 13 was in denial about all of it, completely closed up in order to survive another lifetime that she didn't really want in the first place, leading to being goofy one moment and emotionally cold and distant the next, and finally 14 is at breaking point, crying out, ready to just crumble in the presence of the one person left who he knows can help. 15 is the rejuvenated Doctor, the one who has worked through their issues and found a fresh lease on life. It feels like the bigeneration (and potential regeneration timeloop) is a result of the Doctor knowing that 14's purpose wasn't complete and that a long road of healing was still needed, made possible by the weakening of reality caused by a) the toymaker's presence and b) the whole "invoking superstition at the edge of the universe" thing. The more I think about it the more I kinda love the whole thing.

Thank you for so eloquently putting into words my (and many other fans', I gather) feelings.@@mrspiderhead8794

Still not ginger!

No it was not. 😂 That’s a fan theory to try and justify what doesn’t make sense about his character.

@@Longshanks1690someone wasent paying attention 😂😂😂😂

@@marcusgirling I was paying attention and I'm confused too. Can you tell me where it was explained in story?

@@NicoleM_radiantbaby so right at the end the 15th says to the 14th you fixed your self because I’m fixed or something along those lines basically saying that what the doctors needs to be happier that’s when the 15h doctor comes in, so initially the 14th doctor would take some time off to heal then change into the 15th but the toy maker comes into play, so there’s a rumour going around online that the 14th doctor changed to early and due to toy makers powers the 15th got pulled out of him 14th kept his body while also keeping his 15th body so it’s like the 10th and 11th coexisting in one time there also other leaks that in season 3 or 4 that the current doctor will be bought back into his time stream to the point where 14th will have a normal regeneration into the 15th but that will have to wait and see about that, there the same with the same memories but both at different time periods as they stated that the 15th is older than the 14th so I can believe that. So yes there’s been leaks that the future doctor gets pulled back into he past hence we see the bigeneration and when season 3 or 4 happens u will see the 15th get pulled back into like a loop and change normally and defeat the toy maker because he already know how to defeat him but take it as a pinch or salt but way I see it this is where it going

@@NicoleM_radiantbaby and also excuse me if I just made it more confusing for you it’s more if you get it you get it if you don’t u will find click on bout season 3 or 4 apparently

“We need Ncuti to be happy” And therein lies the problem. 15 has all the exact same experiences and memories as 14 so should still be burdened with all the same trauma. Ehhhh, that’s too inconinconvenient so let’s just pretend 14 gets all of it and 15 gets none of it despite them supposedly being the same character! It’s lazy, forced and contrived to get the ending Russell wants without any of the supporting writing to get us there.

@@Longshanks1690 I think the implication of "we're Time Lords, we're doing rehab out of sync" is that although 15 has popped out of 14 now, he is still a future incarnation whose personality is after 14, and after any trauma recovery that 14 goes through from now on. So not the exact same memories, but post-healing. It's a bit messy and convenient but it is what it is. (I'm not a huge fan of these specials or the direction they've taken it, but it makes as much sense as anything else over the past 60 years, really.)

@@bobblebardsley Oh how extremely convenient! No, we don’t wanna see how the Doctor gets to that point. He’s just magically over it now, don’t think about it! Also ignore how we went for Toymaker’s hammer like it was an idea he had just then when he actually knew it would 100% work. Also ignore how Toymaker was incredibly surprised by it if it was all down to him. It works, it makes sense, don’t think about it. 🙃

​@@Longshanks1690 Hey I'm with you, I think the absolute biggest crime of convenience in these specials was last week, The Doctor says "if I'm right..." stamps his foot and a freaking golf kart pops up out of the floor. But people said Chibnall's writing was bad. For the smaller details it's just a McGuffin and you can choose to be angry about it or just chalk it up to not having enough run time in the episode to spend on a better explanation. The big stuff, like The Doctor's entire personality/memories, at least they tossed a line in there to explain that away. I have low expectations for the next few years but whatever, if they want to do a happier Doctor after 18 years of him basically being tormented by latent guilt, at least it won't be the same old schtick.

@@Longshanks1690 Yeah, we're going to lose the actual character development of that healing and I think that sucks. (That was one of my fave things about Capaldi's Doctor -- we got to watch his healing and go on an arc with him. With RTD, it's always about a stupid reset button)

"I'm Scottish, that's it I'm Scottish"

more scottish doctors!!

Yea and and its also said in the past that the doctor is actually fully human we gonna believe that too? We gonna ret con the ret con.

1. The Peter Cushing movies aren't canon. 2. The Valeyard was the main villain of a Sixth Doctor storyline and is established continuity, so it's not a ret-con. 3. The show has been around 60 years. Just because you don't personally remember a plot detail doesn't make it a ret-con. There's a simple solution if you're confused about it: watch more classic Doctor Who!

@@jerrybraverman5122 I'm talking about the paul mcgann doctor isn't he part human?

The Fugitive Doctor (or the Ruth Doctor), from the episode Fugitive of the Judoon, episode 5, series 12. Fun episode.

@@JekyViews THANK YOU!

Sasha was dying the last time we saw him too

@@bemasaberwyn55 I really hope it's either dhawan's master or missy if they bring back an old face.

@@iwillcry they says master not missy

Yep. I like that idea so much. In the 50th the Curator did say we'd be revisiting some old faces...

I hope that in dealing with the trauma the “time lord victorious” mentality returns, and the 14th doctor becomes the valeyard…

Somehow, I doubt it. He's gone on record as HATING the Shalka!Doctor, which is sad because tbh I like Shalka!Nine more than Eccleston's Nine.

Yup, makes sense, plus it doesn't really change the universe since there's already so many copies of The Doctor in his different regenerations running around the same time periods..lol, I have a feeling the Tardis tries to keep them separate otherwise there's no way they wouldn't constantly be running into each other.

​@markfuston2714 Exactly! I genuinely don't get the criticism that there's 2 of them in a show about time travel. The Lazarus Experiment and The Eleventh Hour both take place in 2008, despite neither being released in that year: both the Tenth and the Eleventh Doctors were on Earth in the same year. It's literally no different to this. Same with Dalek and The Power of Three: 9th and 11th Doctors both on Earth in the same year. No different to this.

I like the line "there's no such thing", which is a quick dig at 'fans' who'd say the same thing - and by explaining it as a myth means it's not a new concept to the Doctor and something you can't complain about not being mentioned before.

Ya, I also like the idea that maybe it was because of The Toymaker too..like, maybe him being there and altering our dimension and the rules of reality and play allowed 14 to kinda "break the rules" and do his healing out of order the way 15 said, split and allow 15 to be there to help him with The Toymaker and whatever The One That Waits is..lol, but also allow 14 to remain there and be able to heal and finally get a time to just breath.@@manticore5733

I'm waiting to see how it pans out. I don't hate it.

honestly i don't like bi-generation. but not because it makes the doctor more special but because it makes him less so. i do dislike timeless child for that though.

My personal theory on the Valeyard is that he is born (grown?) from Tennant's Doctor's severed hand. After all, he's meant to be from between the Doctor's 12th and 13th incarnations, and as was made clear from Mat Smith's last episode, Tennant was actually the 11th AND 12th rather than the 10th, so that would match up there. Bloody hell, that means Tennant has basically played 3 different incarnations of the Doctor now...

@@stephenhumphreys9149 FOUR, if RTD's universal biregeneration thing is correct. We are WAAAAY too saturated with Tennant Doctor's now.

@@NicoleM_radiantbaby Well, in the nicest possible way, hopefully we've seen the last of him now. A well deserved retirement :-)

@@stephenhumphreys9149 Agree.

Bit of a correction he didn't tell her to wait in the Tardis he just immediately grabbed a local teleport and was going to beam her into the TARDIS before the signal was interrupted.
