Why? I don't see that it would be any greater than if he'd said he was any other random minor character from the show. The line doesn't make any material difference to the plot, and it's not even moving, stirring or inspiring. It's a non-line if ever there was one, whose only purpose seems to be to make fans go "What did he say?". In other words, it seems to me it was just a deliberate bit of fan-service/mischief by Russell T Davies.

@@ftumschk you may be right but that little mischief made us all gasp

@@krishang7122 It surprised me, too, but it immediately struck me as a case of RTD getting Jack to refer to a past character just for the fun of it. It makes no sense dramatically.

@@ftumschk but at least for that few seconds it knocked you of your seat And I think it was worth it

@@ftumschk it makes sense that Jack is the Face of Boe though. After all, he’s the one who told the Doctor you are not alone (YANA). That’s how the face of boe knew. Another interesting piece is that in the end of the world, Roses first adventure on the Tardis, the event that they watch is sponsored by the Face of Boe.

Wow Crispy's here. Love your channel. I agree it's a wonderful twist.

I want a whole season with jack, and in the finale we see him become the face of bone, with the headless monks and everything

@@DoctorWhoHugh There’s a spin-off show called Torchwood, with Captain Jack as the main character. But I don’t think it shows him becoming the Face of Boe though.

@@WideMouth nah it doesn’t. Either in Doctor Who Series 13/14, or Torchwood Series 5 I really want to see Moffat’s script adapted Edit:spelling

@@WideMouth they don’t he end up teleporting away in the last episode

Link

We were already all sure of that

I mean it was obvious

@@user-bt1ge2ge9i during the watch along he said there goes the face of boe

This scene literally confirms it

Thought her acting was very bland honestly

@@goldvoltage9053 i get that, but also lets be honest, past the romance and crying, Rose could get pretty boring too?

I love it.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jb11o9aGqcXWkac.html

he’s the best doctor

He was really close to tears here

@@uwu_milkboyHe is actually my favourite.

Lol. That’s cause the actor himself is ageing. They have to write that he is ageing so they don’t have to use sfx on him when he comes back again.

@@jonathanblake6130 I think everyone is aware of that Johnathan. But we’re talking within the context of the narrative.

They should do some special effect to make his head slowly get bigger and bigger every time we see him now

@@GGoAwayy In one of the audio-only plays Jack loses his head to the headless monks. So his head survives. And the face of boe is truly ancient.

@@jonathanblake6130 I think it’s VFX not SFX

Because he was blinded by love for Rose. The thing is Unit didn't do Martha any favours but she's brilliant.

what was the doctor supposed to be realising?

@@sahilonpc9250 That something bad was going to happen.

@@sahilonpc9250 no that Martha Was a good and useful character. The doctor over looked her because he had just lost rose but as soon as he realised this,Martha had left.

@@LewieGamesumm he definitely knew. He trusted her to travel across the world to help him take down the Master. He also trusted her to protect and take care of his human self in the Family of blood Frick rewatch her first episode when they are together in the hospital. He immediately saw how special she was and how good enough she was to be his companion. He was just never in love with her and still getting over Rose. But even in his time of mourning, the doctor is careful with the friends he chooses.

IT WAS MEANT TO BE!

Wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.

Martha will remain my favorite companion. She's the sharpest, smartest and an actual match for doctor. I will forever be sad how she's there for only a short period of time.

Martha was easily my favorite long-term companion during the post-Baker era... She was smart as hell and gorgeous. Give me an entire season of the Doctor joined by K-9, Captain Jack, and Martha and I'd die a happy nerd!

Yes one of my favourite too👍. Can't recall her experiencing racism though? When was that?

@@ecurb10 I think they mean the actress

The only companion to get away unscathed and of her own volition, Rose stuck in a parallel universe, Donna had to lose her memories *SPOILERS* Wellllllll for a few decades at least !, Amy and Rory zapped by the weeping angels, Clara killed by a bird, bill potts killed by cybermen.

What about Sarah Jane

he isn't, it makes no sense. For one thing the face of boe was pregnant at one point, he's also said to belong to the species Boekind which is completely different species. The face of boe also dies and we know Jack can't.

@@akaakaakaak5779 He’s from the 51st century, aliens would of existed on earth, he is bisexual, implying that an alien could be his parent that can be pregnant regardless of gender. You Are incredibly gullible, first, Moffatt and Russell confirmed Jack as Boe, and it was even admitted on screen. Get your brain checked, thank you.

@@DingleDangle66 also if you look at the face of boe's words when talking to the doctor calling him "old friends" when they only met 3 times and "you are not alone" which is a hint to the master yes but it also saying to the doctor your friends will always be with you even 400 years later you will still have friends that will stand with you to help save the universe cause he met the 13th's companions and saw how happy she was with them. It would make no sense for the face of boe to be someone completely different and not a fix point in time and space that saw the doctor lose those that he loved and cherished but gained more friends to always remind them that there are people out there who will stand with them forever ever after death. Also will jack never met 11th or 12th I am sure he herd his fair share of stories.

​@@Srade2412 I also refuse to consider that Face of Boe is Jack, just because : if so, I can't admit (and above all, I can't understand) that Martha (and above all the Doctor) will have such big laughs at rhis revelation. They are coming back from New New York where they saw the death of Face of Boe ! If the Doctor realises that Face of Boe is his old friend Jack, I would imagine him shoked, sad, thinking of the passed times with Jack, but certainly not laughing this way !!! So if Russel says that Face of Boe is Jack, then there is a super lack of emotion in treating this moment. (hm, sorry for my English) .

​@@emsicombs827 Captain Jack can't die and asks multiple times if the Doctor can fix his immortality. Knowing that Jack eventually becomes the Face of Boe after dying over and over for billions of years, it probably gave them relief that after so long he finally got a chance to die - while also saving New Earth. I don't think it devalues any of the emotion at all, in fact I think it probably heightens it knowing that he has a chance to rest.

Might be intentional! Same message, about one person changing the world (for better or for worse.)

@@nightowl8477 since my original comment was so off topic, can I just say, whilst I'm still off topic, that a billion daleks are less dangerous than one. Like a billion of them would fly around and get sucked back into the void or whatnot. Whilst one of them rounds the corner and shoots the Doctor. Dr who logic

​@@genzu6388 Group mentality. They all just assume someone else will do it first so they don't shoot in case that will make it worse, which it so happens to do sometimes. Plus, the way the Daleks arrive often make it easier to destroy them. A dalek ship exploding can kill them all, but a single flying dalek has nothing to be afraid of.

Room ... Shambles

Best part to me was the fact that there was no music before it

Man this music is just steeped in nostalgia for me. Murray Gold is one of the best music producers of all time. I don’t think he’s ever made a bad song?

Facts

Such a good series. Series 10 is my favourite, but seasons 3 to 5 is when the show peaked.

Series 3 was the only series I had on dvd (this was back in like 2008 when Netflix wasn’t really a thing and you could only watch it on dvds) and man for a few years I watched this series again and again and again. Just brings me so many memories, and oh god, the soundtrack! This is the best series of new who imo. So many good stories, shame it’s pretty underrated.

This was my childhood 2007 GOAT year for doctor who

@@anesseameer 100% It’ll never be as good again. We never realised how lucky we were back then :(

Dr who ended when RTD left

Did you watch World enough and time yet.

@@chrisguy1790 Moffat era was my favorite

@@chrisguy1790 its coming back.

same because he mentioned where he was from again

He mentioned Rose Tyler

@@toainsully That moment feel so forced.

When the Dalek merged with his face, I thought for a moment that's how begins to look like the Face of Boe we know

Why?

@@MovieMagic515 he just looks good

@@nivaneh1010 He always does. :)

@@MovieMagic515 you’re right

Mine is the one near the end of “The Family of Blood” where he’s watching Mother of mine fall into the vent horizon of a collapsing galaxy. The wind blowing through his damn hair just can’t be beat for me.

rtd: *nervous laughter*

😬

yeah well about that...

I think Russell got it spot on. He did fantastic sci-fi that also featured relatable characters.

@@charliedavidarnott1537 Agreed.

Russel was Sci Fi Moffat was Sci Fantasy Chibnall is Sci Bullshit

@@nivaneh1010 Russel was more soapy actually than just Sci Fi. It was very grounded and the characters were well fleshed out, you got a sense of their lives. Chibnall is fantastic. My favourite Doctor Who showrunner.

@@MovieMagic515 chibnall is a good writer my favourite thing he’s done is that Joshua episode on Torchwood but for some reason his work on Doctor Who just seems like a parody of the previous seasons

I miss you too

It would be good if they could explain how his face got so big with tentacles, I suppose billions of yrs of evolution, but then why would evolution take away his body? 🤔 so many questions 😂.

No shit

@@borris3768 Vapid reply. Thanks.

@@kt9166 it's literally common knowledge cuh

Last regular companion anyway. His last companion period was her grandfather

Um the jadoon episode

he isn't, it makes no sense. For one thing the face of boe was pregnant at one point, he's also said to belong to the species Boekind which is completely different species. The face of boe also dies and we know Jack can't.

@@akaakaakaak5779 Don't you dare destroy my fantasy!!! 😂

@@akaakaakaak5779 maybe after so many years he evolved and possibly even started the boe race and outlived them all

@dr103 no it isn't

@dr103 no it isn’t

Oui !!!

To me this is back then when this fandom wasn't so toxic and lethal. Back then you could comment what ever you wished without toxic fans on your case.

It’s on BBC iPlayer

i think it's more about seeing that their friend finds solace at the end of the day, and at some point in life. Jack kept prodding at dying since the beginning of the last two episodes, even going as far as to ask the Doctor if Rose could fix him ( when he found out that she was the one that bestowed him eternal life ) , but the Doctor kept being bearer of bad news and saying he can't do it. their light-hearted laughing is more about the odds of that. he is going to die, blissfully, doing the best of deeds too.

The old Torchwood, not the garbage they turned it into calling it seasons 3 and 4. If they don't want an "official" Torchwood with those "we're in charge here"-badges anymore, that's fine with me -- I'm sure Jack can talk his way into scenarios just like the Doctor would, and I'm assuming the Doctor won't take away psychic paper from him either. And then, not everything needs to be a huge threat -- taking Gwens suggestion "you could do more to help" might also be something they could just stumble into at times, with no aliens at all, or aliens that aren't a threat, or aliens that need help.

@@Syndur I agree it got too much at the end like Rex can’t die so that mixes things up to much

HEEEEEE'S BAAAAAACK!

I assums either Saxon had them killed or they went into hiding and maybe continued small scale torchwood missions

The Master says in 'The Sound of Drums' that he sent them off on a wild goose chase to the Himalayas.

@@gsam2021 sounds like big finish should get on that
