One of the best one off villains in Who.

Remember this episode. Rory is awesomeness. And Amy does know it, as scared as she is of the commitment and a steady life.

I really really love the exploration of the Doctor's self loathing in this episode, particularly as someone who's struggled with it for a long time I think this really just hits something. Also love some of that mental health humour sprinkled in. Honestly I just love this episode.

There was an episode of Red Dwarf where the characters were to be judged... It turned out that they were to judge themselves... Exploring the idea that we are our own worst critics. I feel that this episode hints at that in the case of the doctor... "There is only one person in the universe who hates me this much!" A great performance from Toby Jones in this episode too... Thanks for all these reactions. D

Amy is almost abit greedy in wanting to have her cake and eat it too. She has defenitely taken Rory for granted for along time and im glad she got abit of a rude awakening. She needed that and Rory deserved that recognition.

The swimming pool in the TARDIS does feature in one of the Classic Who episodes.

I really like this one - as you say, I think it pretty much boxes off the potential love triangle element of it all, which I was definitely in favour of them doing sooner, rather than later. My interpretation of the Dream Lord was that he was mostly a manifestation of the Doctor's darkness (after all, the Doctor has a lot more of it built up than Amy or Rory) but that the psychic pollen probably drew on Rory's insecurities when the Dream Lord was being critical of him, and similarly drawing on Amy's guilt around kissing the Doctor when goading her about that. Toby Jones is a fantastic actor - I think that most of us would be keen to see him pop up more often. I'd highly recommend a TV movie called 'Marvellous' if you've never seen it and you're ever in the mood for something uplifting - Jones plays the main character in that, and knocks it out of the park in a completely different way. I think it's free to watch on Prime. There's another Doctor Who S5 guest star in it, too.

I only just finished watching Doctor Who series 5 for the first time, I enjoyed it myself

This is such a fun episode. At the beginning, I'm 100% convinced that the Upper Leadworth life is obviously the dream, but then I start to doubt to it the more they spend in the Tardis. So clever. Really nice to see Amy and Rory's relationship take a turn for the better.

Yeah, I adore this one too - Toby Jones is a fantastic character actor and does an amazing job in this. One of the best

10:35 always reminds me of Jackie with the 9th Doctor

I LOVE this episode.

I'm counting something, Don't worry about it or inquire, "spoilers". #1

Loved our girl going full-on 'Death Race 2000' for the whole 2nd half of the episode. Makes me a little glad she's driving in another country...

I won't spoil whether or not you'll see that pool in a future episode, but we had at this point seen a swimming pool in the Tardis in a classic story from the 1970s... unfortunately, it just looked like a swimming pool in some building somewhere!

THANKS for this!!!!!

10:13 I'm dead LMFAOOOOOOO. This episode is awesome, really made me love Amy and Rory's relationship! Since Agents of SHIELD I never really liked any relationship as much as a certain one they had for that show, but Doctor Who decided to try to get into my ranks. The way Amy just got so numb when Rory died really hits you hard. This Dream Lord thing, with the villain basically being the Doctor himself, was soooooooo interesting. I think this is one of the most memorables Doctor Who episodes. Very deep and has some great comedy at the start. The guy saying good morning to the people with eyes on their mounth was so funny, I didn't remember that. Amazing reaction, especially the "run them over bit", honestly. That was so funny.

Please keep doing these videos! When I hear your comments it gets me excited about seeing how you'll react to upcoming events. ☺️

10:07 "Barely an inconvenience"

I personally felt a lot of guilt during my initial viewing of this episode. I really loved everything about it and it dawned on me how quickly I had moved on. I had known for a while, but there is a reason that David Tennant is the 10th Doctor, he was perfect. But there was just something about this Doctor and this TARDIS crew, normally there is a mourning period a need to go through the 5 stages and for David it should have been a loooong long time, but Matt got me, he got me when he realized he was not a girl and "still not ginger"....... They always get the Doctor right.... we can complain about all the stuff we want to, but they always get the Doctor and the Companions right. in my opinion....
