Are you ok?

I hear your cries at your disdain at only reviewing Doctor Who. Clearly this is a call for FaolanCortez to get you to review more ponies!

Y'know, you're a fun guy to listen to & there's nothing you do with this specific topic that won't translate... just saying, if you feel like trying something else, have at it, my man.

Don't jinx it

No.

Couldn’t put it better myself, lets just hope they don’t make the master the doctor’s brother next time.

I think the Battle of Ranskoovalonsapy is the worst

@@kryten1016 oh please don't say that 💀

I would’ve retconned Moffat.

Moffat's never happy unless he's desperately trying to outsmart the material he's working with

Chibnuts should've done that trick.

@@cdle007 Chibnuts😂

now if only someone had done the same with the timeless child...

Nailed it

Utter facts

It could have been longer, yes. But I don't think it could add much to the story.

Might be a good concept if they ever want to have her return (with a Clara who doesn't know the Doctor, or a Doctor that hadn't met Clara). She'd make an interesting companion(s) for a multi-Doctor story

Doctor Who tends to do its finales best when it’s a two parter (Except for the Timeless child two parter)

If you think about it, sacrificing himself to save people he barely knows is exactly how the Twelfth Doctor died. Kind of. Hell, every Doctor in the revival series so far has regenerated through an act of self sacrifice. Nine absorbed the power of the time vortex to save Rose, Ten got bombarded by a lethal dose of radiation to save Wilfred, Eleven spent literal centuries defending the people of Trenzalore, and Twelve fought an army of Cybermen by himself to give people time to escape

Maybe for Angel, but no the Doctor.

@@mayotango1317 ???? Who is Angel?

@@astra3310 From Buffy. The show that RTD copy a lot.

@@mayotango1317 ok. But I’m talking about Doctor Who not Buffy so it’s an unrelated comparison

I feel the same, just couldn’t put it into words. Please take care of yourself Harbo

Editing videos and talking into a mic for a living is not burn out worthy 😂 try working 50 hours a week and getting only Saturday to rest. Lazy ass kids

this

on the opposite it was planned for ages before. atleast since series 4. but id say it had been set up since atleast the late 60s. Why? Rassilon, OMEGA (do not confuse Omega with OMEGA), Rassilons tomb; the OMEGA arsenal. (Omega was ever only a tiny semissentient sliver of/from OMEGA (Rassilons pre timelord timemachine later his semisentient tomb and source for the OMEGA arsenal, Validium, Moment, Hand of OMEGA, Rassilons ascention device/new Key to time etc etc...

Someone said somewhere (may not be true) that Moffat had an entire series planned but Matt said he's not staying for another series so Moffat packed everything into a single episode

@@xGOKOPx yeah, it's why clara's introduction and series 7b as a whole are so weird. she was planned to have another season with eleven, otherwise they might as well have brought her in when they brought twelve in. now they have this weird space where for the home stretch of eleven's run they got rid of the companions that were basically a package deal with his era of doctor who, and instead had him introducing The Girl Who Was Special, who would go on to be mostly a capaldi companion anyway

It's like a cosmic fairy tale

When I was a kid, I lost interest in Dr Who during Matt’s era because I thought it had become too whacky and childish. I’ve been rewatching the show lately, and I now hold 11 in higher regard - it’s just Series 6 that I find dreadful about this era 😂

@@_MyNameIsAJ_ yet Clara was around even less

@@_MyNameIsAJ_ i agree it wouldnt make sense, but the fact it took so long to meet her is an argument you could also make with clara

@@TheAstip she met some of the others in Big Finish, sometimes she uses a perception filter so he doesn't recognize her, sometimes he just ignores her and doesn't care about who she is.

@@_MyNameIsAJ_ 10th meet Clara 2 (50th special not counted here) in fact he meet her in the same episode in the scenes right before he meet River. CAL is Claras raven save.

They already have a good explanation. Clara was much better for going into the timestream.

You could argue that the tardis influenced Clara to say that to him, since she technically wasn't there to begin with

I honestly thought Clara was going to be the TARDIS. Would have been cool to think she was always there.

Or any of the other Chibnall finales...

This episode is still stupid tho

The Timeless Child thing is one of the very few "canon" things in DW that I treat as non-canon. Same with the Eighth's winking (and ultimately abandoned) mention of "being half-human on my mother's side". Because while I don't really care if an incarnation of the Doctor is played by a man or a lady (provided the actor or actress is doing a good job), I do care about the Doctor being in essence a very ordinary Gallifreyan. A very ordinary Time Lord who wasn't even all that great as a student at the Time Lord academy, or whatever they have... Even Moffat's showrunning era respected that, and doubled down on the Doc being nothing special. It was leaving Gallifrey, travelling the universe, undergoing character development over the many centuries, that made him (or in Jodie's case, her) the Doctor. I just find it far more relatable. This also extends to the Master/Missy, as the Doctor's old friend but ethical antithesis. The Master was nothing special either, it's what they made of themselves after becoming a Time Renegade. Same with the other Time Lords seen or mentioned wandering the universe, outside of Gallifrey. It's just far more relatable and I dare say likable than either the Doctor or the Master or anyone being "the great and destined mega-ultra-origin-of-all-figure-of-the-universe". That just feels like someone writing an exceptionally bad, exceptionally self-indulgent fanfic. I like the Doctor and DW because the Doctor is in essence, a tramp, a bit of a happy-go-lucky, but wise "idiot", as the Twelfth referred to himself self-deprecatingly (but in a good-natured way). I don't want the Doctor to be the most amazing or important individual or hero in history. That's just... lame. An "idiot" in an old, past-its-prime, decommissioned time machine, running around the universe, trying to help, and sometimes messing up and learning a lesson in humility and fallibility, is just far more interesting and likable.

@@ZemplinTemplar Brilliantly put. I couldn't agree more.

It’s a lot different to the trickster. Definitely not the same. The tricksters face is far more sinister

It's been one of my favorite finales for years personally.

The Great Ingelligence is a classic who villain.

@@mayotango1317 Yeap. He only represents one era of the show.

@@HiperPivociarz The Time War represent the new series.

@@mayotango1317 Yes I know, but The Great Intelligence has nothing to do with the Time War.

@@HiperPivociarz But is the theme of the whole trilogy.

The problem is that the Tricisler is a Sarah Jane villain.

@@mayotango1317 that shouldn’t be an issue, the Trickster’s brigade features in Torchwood and in Doctor Who (one of the only antagonists to feature in all three). I think the issue might be that the person who invented the Trickster (Gareth Roberts?) is no longer welcome as a part of the Whoniverse due to various accusations of sexual assault I think (I don’t know the details, it’s something like that). For some reason Doctor who seems to run this way; where Russel T Davies created the ood so needs to be involved or perhaps give permission in some way to use them. Perhaps no one wants to ask Gareth to use him? I might be talking rubbish but that’s how I understood it.

@@richardbourton4523 And why no use the Black Guardian?

And I forgot to mention that I love river song. Why do u hate her? Really I'm asking can u make a video on why u don't like river plz

They were going to film the Doctor carrying Clara out but an injury scuppered that plan.

And Strax always wants to throw strontium grenades!

Why is it a guilty pleasure? It’s a good episode and segued pretty good into the 50th anniversary, but if you go straight to season 8 after this episode, you’d be lost, which is why I always counted the specials as part of the seasons, kind of like how Netflix had The Day and Time of The Doctor as part of season 7

Except he's the Timeless Child and he can't die. Ever, ever, ever. Curse you Chibnall

The Time War is Time Locked. Very easy explanation for why Clara's echoes couldn't access it.

Sadly, Jodie Whittaker never save a episode.

@@mayotango1317 This isn't about Jodie and the Chibnall era has many faults but Jodie is not one of them. She has sadly been dragged down by a lot of other issues of the era but she herself is a great actress when she is working with good material.

@@lucypreece7581 No, is a crap actresss

​@@lucypreece7581 didnt she say she hadn't done research on the doctor or doctor who?

@@ahamilton3435 Neither had Matt Smith and he was a relative newcomer when he took the role. you're point is?

Well, the whole Time War is a copy of that book.

@@mayotango1317 Yeah, Law Miles was ahead of his time. And a lot of authors hate him. Probably because he never read something someone else wrote he couldn't be brutally honest about. 😅

Last of the Time Lords? Okay sure, but Journey's End was literally the Avengers: Infinity War of the Davies era. Donna's memory wipe still hurts like hell.

"Until 2018" bruh

What about of The Timeless Children?

@@mayotango1317 sorry i meant up until that point. the timeless children and battle of ranskor av kolos are wayyyy worse.

He was always refered to as Theta Sigma, so that's his currently cannon name.

@@nytesla_punk3327 who ?

@@iBusLondon the doctor. His name is Theta Sigma.

Chinball will ruin it.
