A nice detail that you may not have noticed: little Amelia had a Scottish accent (she mentions moving from Scotland to England), then when we're introduced to Amy and she doesn't want the doctor to know who she is, she puts on an English accent. When she shouts 'WHY DID YOU SAY 5 MINUTES?', She goes back into her Scottish accent
It’s a miracle that this episode is so great. Think of everything it has to do: New Doctor New companion New TARDIS No returning actors New showrunner And following the most popular Doctor’s emotional send off And they NAILED IT. Smith is gangbusters from the start, he and Gillian have fantastic chemistry, the score is lovely, the cinematography is downright magical to behold, and nothing feels off. It’s insane how much pressure they had to be feeling, and it turned out brilliantly.
@@MegaHypeHD No, the only other seasons that went through that are season 1 and season 11. Season 5 definitely started out stronger than season 11 did.
Like, they literally hadn't had to do that combination of obstacles since "Spearhead in Space" in 1970... okay yeah technically there was a "returning showrunner," but that was Derrick Sherwin who was showrunner for ONLY two stories ("The War Games" and "Spearhead from Space") to handle the hand-off from Troughton to Pertwee, before immediately handing the reigns over to Barry Letts.
Becuase when you think of it everything that happened in the last episode of 10 literally JUST happened with 11, he didnt get the massive time jump and then the entire emelia growing up timeline he literally had 10s last episode regenerated crashed into amelias backyard and then this happened.

Eleventh Doctor is my favourite Doctor. Matt Smith is such an amazing actor and his era has some of my favourite moments of the show. And...the music is phenomenal.
When I was I kid I grew up in the US on Tom Baker’s Doctor. I didn’t really get into New Who until Matt’s run. I still love Tom but Matt’s my Doctor now. 🙂
Y'know, you cut it from this video, but one of 11's most defining moments came right in the first few minutes of this episodes, and lots of people seem to miss the significance; _Amelia: I’m not scared._ _The Doctor: ‘Course you’re not! You’re not afraid of anything. Box falls out of the sky, man falls out of the box, man eats fish custard. And look at you, just sitting there. So you know what I think._ _Amelia: What?_ _The Doctor: Must be a hell of a scary crack in your wall._ That let us know right from the start that there would be a method to his madness. I was really impressed with that scene when I first saw it.
11 can be a bit of a dork but also a totall badass, I love it! Matt Smith did a brilliant job following DT, he got the balance just right, he totally nailed it in the first episode
What it dooski everyone! The Eleventh Hour is upon us :) Love to hear what you think/ My bad i've been MIA, took sometime off videos and social media and improved the channel behind the scenes and set up. Looking forward to the rest of Who with you all!
I forgot how much I loved this episode. I also forgot how soon they started hinting at ‘silence will fall’. I love how bouncy Matt Smith is, and it doesnt really go away as far as I can remember. This is making me want to do a re-watch of his era. Good to see you back fail whale, missed seeing your videos last week.
Yeah Ik this is really late compared to the uploads now but same the first doctor I remember is Matt Smith so he is my doctor too I love David he did a great job but yeah Matt Smith is my doctor
I Exist and Christmas Invasion is great, and Rose. Actually ya know what let’s say that there all great because they’re, even Woman a Who Fell to Earth was great and I’m not a fan of her era so far, yet that was admittedly great. However, personally, Eleventh Hour was the even greater out of the greats.
Yay, and we enter the Moffat era. Flawed but beautiful - a dark and layered fairy tale. In my opinion the golden age of modern Who. Mate, I am so enjoying your reactions. I love that you watch with a critical eye but a lack of cynicism, engaging fully with the story, while also noticing production and performance details. It makes for genuinely entertaining viewing.
Danielle Coombs golden age was 1-6, however, it was still great 7-9 but not golden. This is quite brilliant considering how long the shows been on for. S10 only had a good finale, that’s it. S11 - 12 was dog shit besides Woman Who Fell to Earth and that one Haunting Of Villa Diota. The rest wasn’t DW. It’s feminine shit that is rubbed in your face.

@@drd2121Fair enough - I did say in my opinion the Moffat era is the golden age of modern Who. As much as I Ioved RTD and Doctors 9 and 10, Moffat's story telling for both 11 and 12 is where the show hit its height for me, in terms of the larger story and character journey.
Golden Age was Series 1-4 by far, both in terms of quality and cultural impact. Nothing in the Moffat Era had a pop culture impact like the cliffhanger at the end of The Stolen Earth did. The massive decline began in Series 6.
David Tenant is Scottish, but so is Stephen Moffat, new show-runner and writer of this episode. So when the Doctor says, "You're Scottish, fry something" that is Scottish humour at ourselves.
The mystery of what the "silence" is what why it's called that goes all though the Matt Smith run and is only revealed in his last episode. That's some planning ahead!
Tyler Bailey 🎉🎉 Though it is _slightly_ annoying that we have to wait an extra day or so for updates. But it's well worth the wait! (Still, curse you, time differences.)
“Look.” “Look where?” “Where you never want to look.” He knew that was Amelia Pond, he knew she’d be a perfect companion but he just wanted her to be older, lol
11 is my absolute favorite doctor! I love all his adventures and seasons 5&6 are golden :D I'm so hyped for your future reactions cause it's getting more and more interesting, especially now when River is coming ^^
Probably my favorite trivia point here: Young Amelia is played by Caitlin Blackwood. Older Amy is played by Karen Gillan, her cousin. Apparently they'd never met before this season was filmed. Another connection like that happened between Lewis Capaldi and Peter Capaldi, best known as ... Caecilius in the Pompeii episode (well to YOU anyway, assuming you're watching these in order and haven't been spoiled to his later role). They're second cousins, once removed. So naturally Peter was in a video for Lewis's song this year.
Great reaction. I think your reaction was typical of most Whovians when there is a new doctor. There tends to be a "wait and see" attitude in the beginning, because of fondness for the previous doctor. It was fun to see you warm up to him as the episode progressed - I have watched other reactions to this episode and they were quite similar.
one of the best parts of this is the little girl playing Young Amy is actually Karen Gillian's cousin (who she hadn't met till they filmed together) and Karen actually took some character ques from how her cousin played young Amy
For me, the best Doctor just left and the next best won't be around until Series 8. And I think I much prefer the opener in S8. It's just amazing. (Edit: Well, next best in New Who. I still have a huge spot in my heart for Eight, thanks to the audios. I think Moffat did him dirty.)
I was rewatching this and I realized when prisoner zero was taunting the Doctor that he didn't know where the cracks came from, you guessed Gallifrey, which turned out to be correct. Nice job.
Great reaction! Your comment about not going to deep into the new doctor's character, is something that the writers do intentionally. They write the first episode or two of a new doctor in a sort of generic way, and they watch what the new actor does with the new doctor's personality - this allows the actor to personalize the doctor and then the writers pick up on his cues and write more episodes that dive deeper into his personality based on the actor's interpretation of the doctor.
Back at the time where they were in seasons 1-4 I was an occasional viewer of the show just because it reminded me of my childhood. When I watched this episode's line "I'm The Doctor. Basically, run!" I was hooked! By the end of Matt Smith's run, I wouldn't miss an episode. If you enjoy this type of writing with multi-episode story arcs, you are going to love Moffat's time as show runner.
Moffat made the tardis feel more alive again instead of just a spaceship. Ever since Eccleston there hasn’t been the feel that the tardis was alive. Moffat brought it back again.
Smith became my 2nd favourite Doctor from the very first episode. After Tennant's regeneration, I wasn't happy to see Smith take over and his cameo didn't impress me at all. However, from the first minute of the Eleventh Hour episode to the last minute, I had a complete 180 on Smith. I recognise that nobody will ever replace Tennant as my favourite Docto, but Smith's version is unique, different and a joy to watch.
You sumed it up perfectly : it's all new but it feels familiar too. I felt it with every new Doctor, except the last one, in my opinion, i'm still waiting for the moment i'll tell to myself " now THIS is the Doctor " ...
There's a theory that one reason 11 chose a bow tie for his outfit was that Amy was grabbing him, dragging him and trapped him in a car door with 10's tie.
This is the first reaction of his I'm watching. And I like it.. I'm gonna go back watch from S1E1 to see his reactions to all the wonderful moments n S1-S4. This guy reminds me of Jesse Lingard, lol :p
@@failwhale34 If you're doing vintage Who, Genesis of the Daleks is a must-see, if you haven't got to it already. Like, if there is one old series episode you watch, it should be that one.
Little Amy pond is played by Karen Gillian's niece if I remember correctly. Fuck I love Matt Smith's doctor, the best doctor In my opinion...change my mind lol
And we've started with my favourite of all the Doctors. He's everything the character is supposed to be in my opinion. But then I speak as someone who thinks Tennant is the weakest of the New Who Doctors. Well...second weakest.
Really looking forward to this ! Matt Smith is absolutely brilliant (even thought I personally would rank him below Eccleston, Capaldi and Tennant) and this season is one of my favourites overall :)
This role was Karen Gillian’s big break and put her on the road to stardom. Matt Smith’s 11th Doctor is my favorite era of new Who. He was born to be the doctor, rich with a serialized story arc which I hope you’ll enjoy as I have on many occasions.
Don't know if you knew this but this is the first episode of a new show runner who called Steven Moffat that's why it feels so different. Steven Moffat is the guy that wrote the 9th doctors 2 part the doctor dances and the empty child he also wrote blink for 10th doctor the weeping angles one and I am sure he has written many other episodes I just can't think of any more from 10 AND 9 era.
Funny thing is the way this season started with all the doctor and Amy dolls leading up to the wedding dress...with just that we thought "uh oh doctor, guess who made an impression?" Then Rory came out of left field and we never saw it coming! Moreso Rory the Roman!
1K likes again? Another upload Thursday morning... UK TIME 👀
AWESOME
Also you’re right! I switched to an better quality camera for this episode, new Doctor New Me 😤
failwhale34 are you in the U.K?
failwhale34 yeah
I think this is currently the second worst doctor in new who
I still love him though.
You were going to pause it when it said Matt Smith but hen you were distracted by the lols
What were you gonna say?
A nice detail that you may not have noticed: little Amelia had a Scottish accent (she mentions moving from Scotland to England), then when we're introduced to Amy and she doesn't want the doctor to know who she is, she puts on an English accent. When she shouts 'WHY DID YOU SAY 5 MINUTES?', She goes back into her Scottish accent
I never noticed that lol
I never thought of it like that
I wondered why she spoke in an English accent but I. Never thought about how it was to hide from the doctor
Right! Anyone with an accent can recall times they have lost their patience and scream in their original original accent.
The are related in real life too
demontank76 Big sister Karen and her Little Sister combo ! Her little sister was great tho , for a first time doing that !
It’s a miracle that this episode is so great. Think of everything it has to do:
New Doctor
New companion
New TARDIS
No returning actors
New showrunner
And following the most popular Doctor’s emotional send off
And they NAILED IT. Smith is gangbusters from the start, he and Gillian have fantastic chemistry, the score is lovely, the cinematography is downright magical to behold, and nothing feels off. It’s insane how much pressure they had to be feeling, and it turned out brilliantly.
so you mean the exact same thing every other season went through
@@MegaHypeHD No, the only other seasons that went through that are season 1 and season 11. Season 5 definitely started out stronger than season 11 did.

same, his true alienness definitely comes out in The Lodger ahaha love that episode
MavenCree me too lol 😆
But his episodes are dreadful
Thanks to Tennant that's something I think people forget about the doctor is that he isn't human, he's an alien centuries older than we could imagine.
Matts episodes where shit but good actor
"Basically... Run."
You gotta admit - that's one of the most incredible low-key flexes of ALL TIME!!! :D
i love how much you apreciate eckelston... the 9th doctor is so underrated it hurts is good to see him get some love

Oh buddy, just you wait. ESPECIALLY for A Good Man Goes to War 🙃
yeah exactly. Matt's Doctor was always right on the edge between out of control rage and excitement

I love that part.
And the ominous music that accompanies it.
I also love it; it shows just how perceptive he is despite his madness
I love the fact that you can hear the sound the silence make at 6:47. Nice little foreshadowing of what was to come.
I haven't noticed that before! Excellent catch! 💪

Amy is my absolute favourite companion. Can't wait to see u react to her!!!🤣😀😄😉😎😉
She's my favorite too
This is it man. We are into the peak of the series in my opinion.

It was so fun to revisit this episode with you. You have no idea what Moffat had in the store. Also the Musick during a loving time is

This is the first reaction of his I'm watching. And I like it.. I'm gonna go back watch from S1E1 to see his reactions to all the wonderful moments n S1-S4.
This guy reminds me of Jesse Lingard, lol :p
Are the UA-cam audience ever gonna get that Unearthly Child reaction you did back in February?
I don't see why not. The unedited version thought will be on patreon
@@failwhale34 If you're doing vintage Who, Genesis of the Daleks is a must-see, if you haven't got to it already. Like, if there is one old series episode you watch, it should be that one.
@@antonbrakhage490 That episode was my introduction to Classic Who, and I 100% recommend it as a first episode for everyone who's come from New Who.
"It feels different but it's so familiar, too."
Yep. That's Doctor Who in a nutshell.
yup
Little Amy pond is played by Karen Gillian's niece if I remember correctly. Fuck I love Matt Smith's doctor, the best doctor In my opinion...change my mind lol
And we've started with my favourite of all the Doctors. He's everything the character is supposed to be in my opinion. But then I speak as someone who thinks Tennant is the weakest of the New Who Doctors. Well...second weakest.
I’m so exited you’ve finally got to my doctor. Like I LOVE tennant but Matt is where I started and s5 embodies the spirit of DW for me.
Yasss I've been waiting for thiiis!! My fav doctor is here yall
cant wait to see you react to the whole of season 5 :)
Really looking forward to this ! Matt Smith is absolutely brilliant (even thought I personally would rank him below Eccleston, Capaldi and Tennant) and this season is one of my favourites overall :)
20:00 You called it! You predicted it 2 whole seasons ahead. dude!!!
#puthiminthewriter'sroom
dude predicted the s7 finale. Legend.
I love your reaction to seeing the dress your look was like "another one??" 😂😂
The Eleventh Hour featuring failwhale34
This role was Karen Gillian’s big break and put her on the road to stardom. Matt Smith’s 11th Doctor is my favorite era of new Who. He was born to be the doctor, rich with a serialized story arc which I hope you’ll enjoy as I have on many occasions.
11's sonic screwdriver's green light was cool. It is my favorite color btw. 10 will always be my favorite Doctor but 11's sonic was awesome! 😁😜
Don't know if you knew this but this is the first episode of a new show runner who called Steven Moffat that's why it feels so different. Steven Moffat is the guy that wrote the 9th doctors 2 part the doctor dances and the empty child he also wrote blink for 10th doctor the weeping angles one and I am sure he has written many other episodes I just can't think of any more from 10 AND 9 era.
He knows it’s by Steven Moffat
@@abnormallynormal4614 Does he say in the video ? I left before listening to his thoughts after the episode.
HALODUDED he said it at the very beginning when he was watching the first few minutes of the episode
@@abnormallynormal4614 Oh then I was not paying attention. fair enough.
The girl in the fireplace, silence in the library & forest of the dead
The music in series 5 is beautiful
Time for the Fourth favourite Doctor. Still a favourite though.
Time for the best Doctor 🙌
In your opinion.
@Emilio Valdovinos It is the best doctor.
@@jackdonohue7893 Well.... obviously
Facts
Tennant is
Funny thing is the way this season started with all the doctor and Amy dolls leading up to the wedding dress...with just that we thought "uh oh doctor, guess who made an impression?"
Then Rory came out of left field and we never saw it coming!
Moreso Rory the Roman!
