  • Doctor Who is known for all its crazy aliens and monsters, but you'd be surprised at just how deep the Series 1 episode The End of the World's backstory is!

    Fun Fact: The majority of the series' effects budget were used up for this episode, because the story required more CGI effects than any other story. A sequence in which the viewing gallery tilted on its axis had to be dropped due to the expensive budget.

      Another fun fact the introduction room in end of the world was re used as the discussion room in the hunger earth/cold blood.

    I love how much lore this episode has. To bring back Doctor Who and actually create a fully fleshed out lore behind the scenes that is consistent and feels real and lived in, was a stroke of genius from Russel T. Davies.
    I love the RTD era and how it makes the universe feel like it has a real history and concrete timeline that the characters hop around and explore.
    The Classic era did somewhat have this too, but it wasn’t really a focus. But both Classic and RTD Who despite having aesthetic differences could still feel like the same universe, just with a huge insane war that happened in between.

    The end of of the world isn’t the best episode but I love the characters so much, they make the doctor who universe feel far more diverse and alien and alive. The designs feel like something out of Farscape they’re so cool

      I don’t think it’s underrated. I think it’s right where it needs to be. It’s a brilliant character episode, but in terms of story it’s quite weak.

    They wear furs to keep their lizard bodies warm? But lizards are cold blooded... they don't generate heat to keep trapped...

    • @col.mustard2192
      @col.mustard2192 Рік тому +3

      They might absorb heat and then put the furs on to help their bodies retain it? This is the only theory I can think might work

    Thank God RTD kept all this self-indulgent fanwank to the obscurest depths of expanded media where only the most obsessive nutters dare to tread.
    (Which is not to say that it is *bad* per se, moreso that it has an audience and that audience is not the same audience as the one he needed to convince to make Doctor Who cool again back in 2005.)

      I love Utopia but that whole Face of Boe didn’t work for me. Minor issue though, as it’s one of my all time favourites.

      @@chrisknight2631 I'm fairly certain it is, but I could be mixing it up with the one the Doctor used in Human Nature. Not 100% sure if they were the same prop or not. I was still kind of young when I first saw the series 3 finale so the Face of Boe thing never really bothered me much personally.

    I would recommend Dime Store Adventure’s short video on whether falling pianos were ever a real threat. For a video less than a minute long there is a worrying amount of primary sources.

    can't they just leave a character alone? why they have to make Cassandra Trans? is it for inclusion? was any trans person so desperate for representation in Dr Who that they wanted to be associated with a bitchy trampoline murderer?
