For anyone who happens to look at the comments, I do plan on watching Pyramids of Mars sometime in the week before the finale! I'd like to have a little more context about Sutekh, especially if the Doctor acts familiar towards the entity. And thanks for all the support on this video so far! You guys are awesome!
Sutekh the Destroyer is a villain from Classic who and one of the most popular villains of Dr. Who history who appeared in the Tom Baker story "Pyramids of Mars" and is voiced by the same actor Gabrielle Woolf who is aged 92 this year.
Pyramid of Mars is a Top 3 Tom Baker (4th Doctor) stories. Top 10 Classic Who. The voice of Gabriel Woolf is amazing and iconic as Sutekh. Also the voice of the Beast in The Satan Pit.
Gabriel Woolfe is 94 I believe, and I think it's awesome that RTD etc. brought him back to voice a character he played 50 some odd years ago and to make such a HUGE return like this, top tier stuff imo :D
Sutekh is leagues beyond Thanos, and he's only one of the top 10 most powerful entities in the Whoniverse. Sutekh is tremendously powerful, so if this reveal went over anyone's head -- rest assured -- the Doctor's 😮face is 500% justified.
Susan could be Mrs Flood, she said she was hiding and earlier when the dr explained to Ruby about regeneration it was to either go on living or hide (something like that) and only the dr and Mrs Flood has broken the 4th wall. if she isn't Susan, im sure shes another timelord
Companions will find out about regeneration sometimes as its happening. There isn't really a set way it comes up. Totally depends on the writing for the particular Doctor really.
Like how the Doctor’s never gone looking for Susan because he fears that he’ll ruin her life due to his life of death & disaster, I think it’s the same reason as to why the Doctor hasn’t gone looking for his birth family & native planet, he doesn’t want to find his birth parents & ruin their lives. I think there’s also the fear of the unknown of why he was left as a child in the middle of nowhere that’s stopping him from finding out the answer of his origins. He could be thinking “What if my birth parents left me because they didn’t want me” or “What if my birth parents are dead meaning I’ll never ever be able to reunite & reconnect with them” so I think he has so much fear of the unknown that it’s stopping him for seeking the answers, which is kinda ironic because the Doctor loves discovery & mystery, yet when it comes to his own personal history, he couldn’t hate the unknown more, which is completely understandable.
@@thelazygamer1639 Same.... Sutekh is one of the most powerfull beeings in Doctor who and the Doctor trapped him for 7000 years, so "the onewho waits" fits perfect. The 1970s mask is iconic in popculture. Also, if you know the tiniest bit of egyptian history you know that Seth, Sed and Sutekh are one and the same, the god of death, who used the body of his son Anubis (the jackel head god) to regenerate himself)
@@caitfurnox I remember watching Pyramids of Mars on my local PBS station way back when it originally aired (I was like, 5 lol) at 2 or 3 in the morning (because that's when Doctor Who aired, thanks PBS!) and I remember how powerful they made Sutekh and wondered why the "god of gods" never came back until now. I mean it's really mind blowing that RTD had gone back and used not only the Toymaker now but Sutekh and who knows what else is coming next week or next series/season. Good on Doctor Who for finally bringing in more classic Who villains.
The general idea is that Sutekh attached itself to the Tardis in Wild Blue Yonder. That was the first episode where the Tardis makes that weird sound. Although others have pointed out it made that sound in The Impossible Planet and The Satin Pit.
@@Graphite42 If the story tracks from the Tom Baker story Pyramids of Mars, Sutekh has been attached to the Tardis since then, and spent 7000 years in a time corridor the Doctor trapped it in where it "died" etc. and that's when it attached itself to the Tardis but in our time, it was specifically at the end of that story 49 years ago or so. It's also explained more in a comic from years ago also, which some of the stuff from this episode does use, but not everything. Honestly the fact RTD brought back literally the most powerful being in the Doctor Who universe and has it linked so well with Susan Twist/Triad, Mrs. Flood (somehow, I think it's obvious she's Susan the Doctor's granddaughter) the Tardis itself, Ruby and her mother. I mean, it really is incredibly well done if you think about it.
The Doctor once called the idea of Sutekh escaping his imprisonment the absolute nightmare scenario, cause the moment he would have entered our universe, it would be over. He had to defeat him by exanding a time corridor almost to eternity, so that sutekh died of old age within it before he could ever reach its end. the fact that sutekh escaped means, it is game over already

COL Ibrahim is the one who saluted the TARDIS... or did he??... maybe he saulted sutekh!! Also he's the only one who didn't flinch during the explosion of the Time window.
It certainly wasn't about Ruby Sunday. It wasn't about anything until the final five minutes and that was a generic CGI dog monster. Really a waste of time.

"Your evil is my good. I'm Sutekh the Destroyer. Where I tread, I leave nothing but dust and darkness. I find that good."

13:10 The Tardis started making that noise in Wild Blue Yonder, so my theory is that it has to do with them being in the edge of the universe.

@@ClintBandito 91, I was pretty close considering I haven't seen Pyramids of Mars in 40+ years now The Satan Pit in years now either :D
In terms of power scale Sutekh is Thanos with all the infinity stones
You know I would say just “slightly” above that.
and yet is still not the most powerful being in doctor who
Far above that
Sutekh is leagues beyond Thanos, and he's only one of the top 10 most powerful entities in the Whoniverse. Sutekh is tremendously powerful, so if this reveal went over anyone's head -- rest assured -- the Doctor's 😮face is 500% justified.
well remember that sutekh did almost killed 4th doctor with only glare so i think we are done
Susan could be Mrs Flood, she said she was hiding and earlier when the dr explained to Ruby about regeneration it was to either go on living or hide (something like that) and only the dr and Mrs Flood has broken the 4th wall. if she isn't Susan, im sure shes another timelord
I like the Susan theory, but why would Susan be mean to Cherry?
It’s a running joke that no one has time to make her tea as much as she asks for it
Sutekh was from "The Pyramid of Mars" From the classic 1975 Doctor Who series who the 4th Doctor was faced of. He is the god of destruction.
I bring Sutekh's gift of interaction with your video to all humanity
The CCTV camera was 66 meters away from Ruby's mom... 66 meters is equal roughly to 73 yards.

"For what is worth I think you bring joy..."
Tell that to mr Chidozie 🤣😅
Sutekh is a Classic Who villain from the Fourth Doctor’s story Pyramids of Mars. Great serial.
sutekh is the statan of Egyptian mythos but for dr who hes also a villan of the 4th dr story the pyramids of mars
So, yeah. I guess you need to watch Pyramids of Mars soon. If it helps, it's one of Tom Baker's all-time best stories.
They reset the timeline in 73 yards so ruby wont remember meeting the hiker version of Susan
Such a great Episode!
Sutekh, the 4th Doctor's nemesis
The Egyptian god of chaos and terror.
Well regeneration is kind of a personal thing to the Doctor he shouldnt have to explain it to his companions that's his business.
Does anyone watch the classic doctor who tom Baker period pyramids of Mars
Yes. My jaw dropped when I saw the reveal of Sutekh
Some reactors I would have expected to have at least heard of Sutekh, and I'm shocked when they don't.
