I can't imagine the rush of adrenaline Peter felt when saying "I am the Doctor, and I save people!". Especially knowing that he is a lifelong fan of the show
I mean, you can kind of feel the rush in the added „and if anyone Happenss to be listening, anyone got any kind of problem with that: TO HELL WITH YOU!“
"You're the Doctor, you save people." - Donna (The Fires of Pompeii, 2008) "I'm the Doctor, and I save people." - Twelfth Doctor (The Girl Who Died, 2015)
"I'll lose any war you'd like. I'm sick of losing people." I love that line. He didn't fight in the Time War because he hated the Daleks, he fought to stop his people from dying. He fights and fights, never for himself, or for money, or for pride, or anything but people.
Love this scene. Usually with actors who play multiple roles on a show it's "we hope you don't notice." This time it's not just the show but the character himself giving a legitimate reason.
That is the beauty of Doctor Who's regeneration gimmick. It's brilliant. If it weren't such a hallmark of this show, you'd see it all the time in other programs that want to run for longer than a leading actor can stick around.
They did it with Martha. Her actress was in the previous seasons finale and then when she was cast as a companion in Smith and Jones. Martha referenced the character and said it was her cousin.
I thought it was brilliant to use the double casting of Capaldi as a plot device. And they did it in such a heartfelt, inspirational way that was still subtle and didn't make any big changes. I also love how the writers focused more on the doctor's kindness in 12's era
For me, Peter Capaldi really defined who the doctor really was. He was a time lord with great fury. For those who have heard of him, they would fear him. For those who knew him, would love him deeply. The doctor isn't a god. He is an idiot in a box as he says. Just trying to make the best of his and everyone's life with his friends. Why? Because he may be full of fury, but there's nothing more that consumes him more than love. "Love is not an emotion, love is a promise" - Peter Capaldi, the real Doctor
Twelve hides kindness and love beneath a grumpy, hard exterior. Ten was bubbling between redemption and fury. Eleven was by far the most sinister. He hides the most casually evil non-war Doctor beneath a childish exterior. Just because he never made super glare faces like Ten did doesn't mean he was nicer.
Tennant deserves a lot of credit for the subtleties of his performance right after that urging from Donna. The way his busy movements just stop, the way he pauses as he realizes she's right and he's being too severe, and that knowing, painful, tired glance into her (relatively) childlike eyes. Not unlike those rare moments when a child calls an adult out for misbehaving and the adult is humble enough to agree.
This scene always reminded me of a quote: "I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do." - Edward Everett Hale
'Before this war began I was a father and a grandfather. Now I'm neither, but I am still a doctor.' There's a running theme throughout Moffat's work of kindness regardless of adversity.
"If I run away today, good people will die. If I stand and fight, some if them might live. Maybe not many, maybe not for long - hey, you know, maybe there's no point in any of this at all, but it's the best I can do, so I'm going to do it, and I will stand here doing it until it kills me."
God, this plays on the same emotions as “Just this once Rose, everybody lives!”. Twelve and Nine are so similar and I would have love to see that explored.
They were the soldiers that showed just how tired and broken they were. You would get glimpses with 10 and 11, but with 9 and 12 you see it and how worn down they are from the fighting and the death.
@@hokutoulrik7345 12 is almost exactly what I imagine 9 would be like if he'd lived a much longer life. I've always theorized that 12 is more careless and a bit more cold because he doesn't have the guilt of burning Gallifrey anymore. He doesn't feel obligated to save every single possible person and is much more willing to make sacrifices to save the day, since he doesn't feel the need to atone for what he considered an unforgivable sin.
_'And one day, the memory of that will hurt so much I won't be able to breathe'_ Probably one of the most powerful lines in the series personally because it doesn't just encapsulate the grief over the loss of someone, it also shows the grief over the _inevitability_ of that loss that is yet to come.
Literally the most unexpected callback I've ever seen! I mean, I predicted that this was the link, but I never thought they'd actually show old footage of Ten and Donna!
I love that even with 12, Donna Noble is still the most important woman in the whole of creation, because she reminded the Doctor of who he was. "To hell with you" was one of the first things that Donna ever said to 10 - nothing was going to stop her from getting married that day, and she never let anything get in her way. She was the one who convinced 10 to save one family from a fixed point in time, that even saving one person from such a horrible fate was worth it. And she's reminding 12 again.
The Sixth Doctor after his regeneration: "Who snarked me this face? This face... to remind me of some high-faluting Gallifreyan officer who shot at me for no bloody reason!"
Six's/Maxil's face, IMO, was to remind the Doctor that the universe was full of self-righteous people (such as Maxil, or even Davros) who wanted him dead, and warning him to be on his guard. Note that before his regeneration, Five had a vision of Turlough saying, "too many of your enemies would delight in your death, Doctor." This would certainly explain his delirious paranoia immediately post-regenerating.
When you think about it, Donna Noble really had a much bigger impact on Doctor Who as a whole, so much as her being part of the reason why he would have an entire regeneration that looks like someone from his past.
The truth is, I feel like the 10th Doctor and the 12th Doctor have the most parallels in terms of character. They also deal with similar circumstances. The same quotes of "I went too far." and "I don't want to go" were uttered by the 10th and 12th doctor word for word. They deal with distrust from their companions after their newly regenerated forms. They are both bedridden after a messy regeneration. But also, their mindset and approach to situations are very similar. They balance out the right amount of humor and seriousness. They attempt to manipulate the laws of time to combat the pain of losing yet another human. They hold tight to their personalities and are often reminded of Gallifrey. They both deal with the Master and attempt to work out a sort of compromise. They are affable, although the 12th Doctor does not seem like that at first. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for the greater good, and they are usually not too attached to the concept of regeneration (except for that time when the 10th doctor was mad and sad at the time of his alleged "four knocks on the door" scare). And of course, the actors are both Scottish and amazing! =)
The thing that Ten had an issue with wasn’t death, it was regeneration. It was actually the same thing with Twelve too, he literally refused to regenerate. They both seem to be perfectly fine with dying, it’s just regeneration that they both have a deep hatred and fear of, until the moment that they are about to regenerate when they have to come to terms with the fact that it’s going to happen and there’s nothing that they can do. At this stage, they either accept it with great reluctance, apprehension and anguish like Ten did or they accept it, looking back fondly on their era of the regeneration and welcoming the next with great faith, anticipation and hope as they bittersweetly acknowledge that their time is up, and that that is okay, as was the case for Nine, Eleven and Twelve.
There was even a quote by Ten where he says “Even if I change, it feels like dying. Everything I am dies. Some new man goes sauntering away. And I’m dead.”.
I know this was supposed to be a victorious moment for the Doctor, but he indirectly caused the death of Clara by saving who would eventually be her killer. It's like Time reminding him that "The Timelord victorious is wrong.".
The doctor played a role in her death too, by saving ashildr but also by taking huge risks that could kill him, he became a role model for clara to take the same kind of risks he did. Ashlidr basically sentenced clara to her death by almost killing their friend.
I disagree, respectfully. Clara killed herself in her arrogance. She had up to that point been getting more and more overconfident and cooky. Think I can do anything and the Doctor with always be able to save me. Then she hit the proverbial wall. Her recklessness cost her her life. Ashielder was the cause but not the symptom that lead to her death.
@@Branfaol1 She also said that she would take "the long way round". As in, the entirety of the lifetime of the universe. She definitely has more time than she would have with a normal human lifespam
Love how David Tennant is connected with everything in New Who. He regenerates from the 9th Doctor and make the show big. He is connected with the war doctor and the 11th doctor in day of the doctor. He gave the 12th doctor an Promise who makes peter Capaldi go through some remembeting what he can do. And David is going to be the 14th doctor after jodie take a good job and he will make the stage for the 15th doctor. Its FANTASTIC
Peter Capaldi will always be my favorite Doctor because he's just so incredibly expressive. Sure, Tennant has that thing he does with the one eyebrow, and Smith has the thing he does where he gets all angry, but Capaldi... Capaldi can say more in a glance than either Tennant or Smith can in a monologue. He's a fantastic actor.
This is the kind of fan-service I have no problem with: 10th Doctor, check. Best companion of NeWho, check. Cheeky Conan reference at the end - because Barbarians, check.
Wow, I missed A LOT when DW was taken off Netflix. I thought them casting Capaldi when he'd acted before in DW would never be addressed in the show, but hot damn. This is nice continuity.
It's addressed in his very first (proper) episode tho. The Girl Who Died is when he realizes why did he choose that face, but he notices that it's familiar in Deep Breath already
Not that RTD did any different. It's Doctor Who, a show that takes the term "episodic" to the extreme: it's always moving forward rather than fixating itself on the past.
Basically every producer/head writer has that "problem", look at RTD for example, besides SJS, there were times in which you felt he forgot the classics even existed, like when the 10th Doctor became so old by only adding 100 years and the Master's drums thingy that came out from nowhere Or the different numbers of Atlantis in the classics. And let's be honest, at least Moffat did a better job connecting the classics with the new show like becoming the 8th Doctor audio adventures canon, but the continuity problems still there, as Danny says, it's a show that focus mostly in what is going on right now and foward.
***** Small for some, same as other writers for another people [Like me, he is at the same level as RTD imo, both did good things, both did stupid mistakes], big for other, but beyond the size, some of those points still very, very importat to the overall show.
Up until now I liked Capaldi and was giving him a chance to find this Doctor. This scene, THIS SCENE is when I went all in with him as The Doctor. I adore this. And what's really interesting is that 10 started breaking rules, and eventually, he went too far (The Waters of Mars). Look how this decision affected the rest of this season for him. Me became an adversary for awhile but eventually ran off with Clara.
@@estelasayeed5608 Same. I knew Capaldi would be a great Doctor. I just had to wait for the writing to catch up. (And I'm not talking about the Doctor being "too dark" or some such shit. I loved that aspect of the character, and Capaldi always retains a bit of a twinkle in his eye.)
He became afraid of himself and breaking the rules after The Waters of Mars. But after gaining a new set of regenerations, The Doctor had to be reminded that breaking the rules to save someone- not everyone, but someone- is important.
I remember people complaining so loudly when they heard the "I'm the Doctor, and I save people" line in the trailer, but in context it becomes absolutely wonderful.
Probably my favourite 12th Doctor moment. Well, this and the 'Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference' scene in series 8. Capaldi was incredible.
I love this. It's a real goosebump kind of moment. The realisation that he modelled his appearance on the Pompeiian Caecilius, and that yes, he can cause ripples. The homage to the first and second of his incarnations, in his checked trousers, is cool, too.
I love just how many layers are piled onto this scene. The context of this episode on its own, its relation to Deep Breath, its connection to 10 and Donna and Pompeii, and especially its relation to the impending end of the Doctor and Clara's travels together. The Doctor says that his memory of Clara when she is gone will haunt him and send him back into his normal spiral, so when the time actually comes for the Doctor to let Clara go, she wipes his memory clean of her to spare him that pain. She's been with him all his lives, in a peculiar sense, being in his timestream. And when the 12 DOES remember Clara, it's met with a wave of joy, not sadness, as he regenerates into the generally more cheery and "fam"-focused 13.
Seems like that's kind of the point... Clara dies basically as a result of his breaking the rules. The ripple effect is real, the Doctor just didn't expect to get hit by the ripples.
Always a treat to see the Doctor remember specific things from their past regenerations. Really ties together how it’s the same person in different forms
3:37 the iconic god damn music that always plays at scenes like this will never not make me bop. its like when someone in need of help hears the tardis in the show, it fills me with excitement and hope. thank you, doctor
This is such an interesting scene when you consider the parallel's of the doctor's revelations with 'the timelord victorious' in waters of mars. Tennant's whole arc is probably the most tragic of all the doctors, and waters of mars is really the beginning of his final act. The doctor's own revelations as a continuation of the choice he made in pompeii link directly to waters of mars where his actions seem to trigger the beginning of his death, again when he gets stubborn and refuses to accept history it returns only to hurt him like saving adelaide brooks. The link isn't just 'fires of pompeii' to 'the girl who died' but the cause of 10's final act and his regenerating alone runs alongside the loss of Clara in Season 9, where all of this remembering his power lead to clara's loss. of course Moffat doesn't carry it off as well as Davies, but I think it's worth noting the reference is way more than superficial,
What's fasinating and so tear-jerkingly inspiring... is that the Doctor is constantly learning from his companions (that come and go)... learning and evolving how to be an even kinder and fairer living being as time passes. It's just incredible.
Oh my god, it's not just that Donna inspired Twelve to save Ashildr. Saving Ashildr's life by giving her immortality resulted in her tricking the Doctor into his confession dial, which led to him eventually ending up on Gallifrey. It was because of Donna Noble that the Doctor found his way home.
The most important girl in the universe. Hell without Donna we know the Doctor would have died a long time ago, and the world would have ended a dozen times over.
To be honest The whole “Time Lord Victorious is wrong” felt weirdly forced to me and never made much scene. It was dark, because the scene made it look dark. The Doctor has always changed or effected history. He has always ignored the time lord law of no interference. That particular event was set in our future and I never thought the future (our future) was set in stone. Plus I don’t see why a granddaughter WOULDN’T be inspired by her living grandmother. Plus I don’t get where the ending. If the future of the human race was on the line then make sure it stays the same (she was still alive). Don’t get mad at the guy who risked everything to save a few more lives. Also how is killing yourself inspiring? If anything that should be seen as shameful. I could see THAT drastically changes things, but apparently it made them normal again (Like how?)... the whole thing just didn’t make sense to me and felt like it was trying to make what the doctor did all the time seem wrong. I’m pretty sure if he DIDN’T interfere with history then our history and future would be completely rewritten (which sounds confusing but is Dr. Who).
Honestly, @@vullord666, the whole "Time Lord Victorious is wrong" thing makes a lot of sense... _if_ what's-her-name was suicidal by the time Ten saved her.
Just another example of why Capaldi is my favorite Doctor. He makes you feel the torture; the pain inside. The reference to loss comes up often during his tenure, as does his tendency to break the rules to save someone, especially at the end of this season.
I hope Ncuti has moments like this on his run as the Doctor: quiet moments of introspection where the action stops and everything is allowed to breathe. Where the Doctor can look at themselves and ask if they'd done the right thing. Jodie didn't have moments like this (If she did, I certainly can't remember), and I think that's one of the reasons her time as the Doctor suffered. Among other things.
Fires of Pompeii is my favorite solo episode of Doctor Who. It truly captures why the Doctor needs Donna. Donna reminded him of who he needs to be. At the time of this episodes release, I nearly cried after seeing them reference it. Oh this scene was beautiful. Season 9 has some brilliant scenes from Capaldi.
That was time trying to correct itself, hence why he shot himself, time sort of satisfying itself by correcting the error with the same face. The Doctor regenerating into that face was basically his way of sticking his middle finger up at time and telling it it's not his boss. Moffat explained it in an interview back when the episode had aired, and apparently they only explained the Caecilius face because adding a plot point from Torchwood would have been unfair on younger viewers.
But hey, RTD didn't have a problem including Torchwood in S4 finale. "Oh boy, Torchwood looks like a lot of fun, let's watch it ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... *NOPE*" I wish the Doctor makes a cameo in Torchwood audio adventures at least.
This is what made Peters run so good for me. I was BEYOND sick of the idea of the Doctor becoming this legendary war monster throughout the universe. Turning back armies at the mention of his name. Yeah. We get it. “I… am… an Idiot! With a screwdriver. Passing through, helping out!” THATS What the Doctor should be. He isn’t some grand cosmic space god. It’s just someone helping others because it’s the right thing to do. It’s kind. Just kind.
For me this was when Capaldi solidified the fact that he would be an amazing doctor. And then the zygon inversion and heaven sent proved he's one of the best
I loove how Capaldi's Doctor so much more intertwined not only with classic who, but with the start and early age of new who itself! It's almost like that if 11th is the Doctor that forgets, 12th is the Doctor Who Remembers
The Doctor, a man who has lost so much and has so little, being reminded that it is the little sacrifices he makes that makes him the better man in any situation. No matter how old he gets, his past regenerations are reminders and this current face is his way of showing it. I loved how they did this
Best doctor, in my opinion. An angry yet impartial yet kind scottsman seems closest to what a timeless being would become after a few million years lol
I knew that the 12th doctor was in the episode called the fire of Pompeii, I just thought it had no significance or the fact that he is an amazing actor and he just so happened to get the role. Also Amy (the 11th doctor companion) was also had a role in the Fire of Pompeii does this also mean that there is a reason behind the fact that she just so happened to book the role of an important character.
My daughter and I were watching this. When David and Donna showed up she jumped off the couch, covered her mouth in shock and said “NO WAY!!!! I sat up in surprise at the same time and with a big grin I said “OMG!!! Ah those father/daughter moments❤
And thus my appreciation of Capaldi's Doctor fully solidified. I won't lie, having Donna and Ten and the Pompeii scene helped make it one of my all time favorite in the Nu Who. But wow, was I moved. Watched it over and over like ten times.
This scene really hits different when you realize the 14th Doctor learned that his 10th face is back and Donna Noble appearing in 60th anniversary specials. I'm wondering if the 60th anniversary specials are retooling this plot point for the 14th Doctor. The trailers do indicate that The Doctor is wondering what kind of man he is and why he regenerated to a familiar face (10th Doctor).
I love this scene, the scores ties in so well with Capaldi saying “ I’m the doctor!”. I really shows his talent and experience as an actor and how he carried the show throughout his run.
Rewatching Capald's run and right here I started loving him. He became my Doctor here. I know this is 8 years old the Capaldi is my Doctor 😭 and I started loving so much after the season 8 because he just begins having these amazing lines and speeches that I hold dear to me. Thank you Doctor.
One of the reasons I liked this episode, was that it tapped into the recurring theme of the Doctor's resolve not to change time(lines) and to break the laws of time when he becomes emotional. The Doctor does know too well what he as a Time Lord is capable of, so because of the person who he is, he imposed the promise on himself not to ever cross this red line. That's where the companions come in, as he needs somebody to keep him grounded and remind him of his promise. They hold up the mirror to him, challenge him in his beliefs and question his motives and actions, so he is able to reflect on himself through them. The companions themselves keep telling him to find someone (Donna) and not to travel alone (Amy, River). He has seen what he may become otherwise: the Time Lord Victorious, who stands above the laws of time and make them obey him, as shown in "The Waters of Mars". "The Waters of Mars" and "The Girl Who Died" show the Doctor in his moment of weakness when he becomes emotional and tired of losing people constantly. In both episodes he acts on his impulse and crosses the red line, thereby saves people who were supposed to die but the motives couldn't be more different: in "The Waters of Mars", the Tenth Doctor chooses to save people and change the course of history, only because he can and he shows that he has the power to do so, he chooses to be a winner. Whereas in "The Girl Who Died", the Twelfth Doctor is reminded by the events of "The Fires of Pompeii" why he chose this face: to try at least to save someone, to be a Doctor (not a warrior). His intention to save Ashildr may have been good but being emotional in that moment, he didn't think it through what his action may cause.
"You, with your eyes and your never giving up and your anger and kindness" describes The Doctor just as much as it does Clara. Devoted, big eyes, big anger and an extremely big heart
Most versions of the Doctor already meet a future face on-screen(yes I know only the oldest Doctor remembers meeting the other versions, but his subconscious could recall without a paradox) * 2: 1 meets him in The Three Doctors * 3: It was chosen for him, though 1 and 2 meet him in The Three and Five Doctors * 5: 1, 2 and 3 met him in The Five Doctors * 6: He got it from Commander Maxil, and 2 met him in The Six Doctors * War: He chose the face to be a warrior * 10: 5 and War met him * 11: War and 10 met him * 12: He got it from Caecilius, and 1 met him in Twice Upon A Time
After I realized Colin Baker played a Gallifreyan guard who encountered #5 in _Arc of Infinity_ I wanted #6 to say "I know where I got this face and I know what it's for. I'm the Doctor and I'm an annoying spluttering hysteric. And if you've got any kind of problem with that, fire me after 2 extra-short series."
Interestingly enough, while that face was a reminder to hold him to the mark, he failed to learn 10s most important lesson. 10 learned that you can't just willy nilly do stuff like this because it has consequences. He decided here that he wasn't going to accept her death and nobody was gonna tell him no and it set in action a course of events that lead to Clara's death. Almost like punishing him for failing to remember the lessons. Whats worse is that he seemed to be saying exactly that before it clicked for him here.
that moment when he says if anyone has a problem with that, to hell with you... and then in hell bent they have a problem with that so he basically is like "to hell with you"
'to remind me, to hold me to the mark' just encompasses capaldi's doctor. season 9 is concerned entirely with remembrance and the importance of looking back to move forward. he IS the doctor here.
-Finally a girl is no one. -No, I call myself 'Me'. All the other names I chose died with whoever knew me. 'Me' is who I am now. No one's mother, daughter, wife. My own companion - singular, unattached, alone.
I can't imagine the rush of adrenaline Peter felt when saying "I am the Doctor, and I save people!". Especially knowing that he is a lifelong fan of the show
He must of felt amazing
I wonder if he even knew the camera was rolling for that take or if it was just him
I mean, you can kind of feel the rush in the added „and if anyone Happenss to be listening, anyone got any kind of problem with that: TO HELL WITH YOU!“

Bet he really wanted to say it out loud ever since 1963 and I love it

I thought it was brilliant to use the double casting of Capaldi as a plot device. And they did it in such a heartfelt, inspirational way that was still subtle and didn't make any big changes. I also love how the writers focused more on the doctor's kindness in 12's era
Not just 12's era, the entire Moffat era was like that, even the earlier Moffat episodes under Davies.
@@-haclong2366 uh... the early Moffat era was not in any way shape or form "subtle" and definitely made some big fat changes...
For me, Peter Capaldi really defined who the doctor really was. He was a time lord with great fury. For those who have heard of him, they would fear him. For those who knew him, would love him deeply. The doctor isn't a god. He is an idiot in a box as he says. Just trying to make the best of his and everyone's life with his friends. Why? Because he may be full of fury, but there's nothing more that consumes him more than love. "Love is not an emotion, love is a promise" - Peter Capaldi, the real Doctor
Twelve hides kindness and love beneath a grumpy, hard exterior.
Ten was bubbling between redemption and fury.
Eleven was by far the most sinister. He hides the most casually evil non-war Doctor beneath a childish exterior. Just because he never made super glare faces like Ten did doesn't mean he was nicer.

She was the one who convinced 10 to save one family from a fixed point in time, that even saving one person from such a horrible fate was worth it. And she's reminding 12 again.
I remember when I first watched this episode, I exploded when David Tennant popped up.
SAME.
Ethan Dalton I explode regularly
Oswin bricks You might want to see a doctor about that
The Living Fantasy Project a doctor?
Doctor who?
Oh you exploded... What face did you choose?
I remember screaming when I saw this when it first aired, now I can't wait for Donna and Ten (in rough terms) to come back!
I’m really curious how Tennant and Tate’s return will work and the story surrounding it! It’ll be quite exciting!
This moment and Time Lord Victorious are two different ends of the spectrum of "I can do whatever I want"
Both with disastrous consequences
The Sixth Doctor after his regeneration: "Who snarked me this face? This face... to remind me of some high-faluting Gallifreyan officer who shot at me for no bloody reason!"
where was that from?
... as jon said, colin baker
He was probably pretty delirious when he chose it. Ya know, from the poison.
I'm sure it sounded like a good idea at the time. :P
Six's/Maxil's face, IMO, was to remind the Doctor that the universe was full of self-righteous people (such as Maxil, or even Davros) who wanted him dead, and warning him to be on his guard. Note that before his regeneration, Five had a vision of Turlough saying, "too many of your enemies would delight in your death, Doctor." This would certainly explain his delirious paranoia immediately post-regenerating.
+RassilonTDavros That actually makes a disturbing amount of sense.
"I'm the Doctor and I save people!" This must be one of the best moments of the Twelfth Doctor!

+Ábel Farkas Does it really matter as all the merchandising and media counts him as twelve?
Dalek Thay
I know. I do it as well, but if Kyle wants to be so precise, then be completely precise.
When you think about it, Donna Noble really had a much bigger impact on Doctor Who as a whole, so much as her being part of the reason why he would have an entire regeneration that looks like someone from his past.
I wish Donna could meet the 12th Doctor and see him thank her for everything.
I love that he quoted Donna: "To hell with you!"
The truth is, I feel like the 10th Doctor and the 12th Doctor have the most parallels in terms of character. They also deal with similar circumstances. The same quotes of "I went too far." and "I don't want to go" were uttered by the 10th and 12th doctor word for word. They deal with distrust from their companions after their newly regenerated forms. They are both bedridden after a messy regeneration. But also, their mindset and approach to situations are very similar. They balance out the right amount of humor and seriousness. They attempt to manipulate the laws of time to combat the pain of losing yet another human. They hold tight to their personalities and are often reminded of Gallifrey. They both deal with the Master and attempt to work out a sort of compromise. They are affable, although the 12th Doctor does not seem like that at first. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for the greater good, and they are usually not too attached to the concept of regeneration (except for that time when the 10th doctor was mad and sad at the time of his alleged "four knocks on the door" scare). And of course, the actors are both Scottish and amazing! =)
For a while Doctor Who was extremely Scottish! (Tennant, Capaldi, Gillen, Gomez, Moffat)
@@ThreadBomb McCoy from 80s era was scottish.
Also, Twelve was the last version of the Doctor River Song saw before going to The Library, where she met Ten.
The thing that Ten had an issue with wasn’t death, it was regeneration. It was actually the same thing with Twelve too, he literally refused to regenerate. They both seem to be perfectly fine with dying, it’s just regeneration that they both have a deep hatred and fear of, until the moment that they are about to regenerate when they have to come to terms with the fact that it’s going to happen and there’s nothing that they can do. At this stage, they either accept it with great reluctance, apprehension and anguish like Ten did or they accept it, looking back fondly on their era of the regeneration and welcoming the next with great faith, anticipation and hope as they bittersweetly acknowledge that their time is up, and that that is okay, as was the case for Nine, Eleven and Twelve.
There was even a quote by Ten where he says “Even if I change, it feels like dying. Everything I am dies. Some new man goes sauntering away. And I’m dead.”.
I know this was supposed to be a victorious moment for the Doctor, but he indirectly caused the death of Clara by saving who would eventually be her killer. It's like Time reminding him that "The Timelord victorious is wrong.".
The doctor played a role in her death too, by saving ashildr but also by taking huge risks that could kill him, he became a role model for clara to take the same kind of risks he did. Ashlidr basically sentenced clara to her death by almost killing their friend.
I disagree, respectfully. Clara killed herself in her arrogance. She had up to that point been getting more and more overconfident and cooky. Think I can do anything and the Doctor with always be able to save me. Then she hit the proverbial wall. Her recklessness cost her her life. Ashielder was the cause but not the symptom that lead to her death.
@@Branfaol1 She also didn't really die. She got a TARDIS and a timeless body to travel the universe for eternity
@@arturofernandez4058 well yes and no. She did die, even said she would eventually have to return to that spot in time.
@@Branfaol1 She also said that she would take "the long way round". As in, the entirety of the lifetime of the universe. She definitely has more time than she would have with a normal human lifespam
"I am the Doctor, I save people!"
Who are you ?!
Identify yourself
His best scene is his Speech preventing the Zygon war in the Zygon inversion. That was amazing
SO true!!!
No, his best speech is at the end of these videos.
MadSwedishGamer All a matter of opinion.
***** It was a joke.
+MadSwedishGamer hello
Love how David Tennant is connected with everything in New Who.
He regenerates from the 9th Doctor and make the show big. He is connected with the war doctor and the 11th doctor in day of the doctor. He gave the 12th doctor an Promise who makes peter Capaldi go through some remembeting what he can do. And David is going to be the 14th doctor after jodie take a good job and he will make the stage for the 15th doctor.
Its FANTASTIC
Tennant once said he *is* the Doctor. He's right.
@@tzvikrasner6073 Yes
Peter Capaldi will always be my favorite Doctor because he's just so incredibly expressive. Sure, Tennant has that thing he does with the one eyebrow, and Smith has the thing he does where he gets all angry, but Capaldi... Capaldi can say more in a glance than either Tennant or Smith can in a monologue. He's a fantastic actor.
All of them are amazing actors. They have to find good casting for the doctor.
This is the kind of fan-service I have no problem with:
10th Doctor, check.
Best companion of NeWho, check.
Cheeky Conan reference at the end - because Barbarians, check.
I'd say Donna's my second favorite aside from Rose (I'm most like Rose), but they're very very close. Hoping to meet them both at AwesomeCon. :)
Wow, I missed A LOT when DW was taken off Netflix.
I thought them casting Capaldi when he'd acted before in DW would never be addressed in the show, but hot damn. This is nice continuity.
I said this lol. I groaned when they announced him as the Doctor. Turns out he just needed this role to show how incredible he can be lol
It's addressed in his very first (proper) episode tho. The Girl Who Died is when he realizes why did he choose that face, but he notices that it's familiar in Deep Breath already
In which Steven Moffatt realises that there were seasons of the show before he became head
Not that RTD did any different. It's Doctor Who, a show that takes the term "episodic" to the extreme: it's always moving forward rather than fixating itself on the past.
Basically every producer/head writer has that "problem", look at RTD for example, besides SJS, there were times in which you felt he forgot the classics even existed, like when the 10th Doctor became so old by only adding 100 years and the Master's drums thingy that came out from nowhere
Or the different numbers of Atlantis in the classics.
And let's be honest, at least Moffat did a better job connecting the classics with the new show like becoming the 8th Doctor audio adventures canon, but the continuity problems still there, as Danny says, it's a show that focus mostly in what is going on right now and foward.
+Zebitas Martinex
This
***** Small for some, same as other writers for another people [Like me, he is at the same level as RTD imo, both did good things, both did stupid mistakes], big for other, but beyond the size, some of those points still very, very importat to the overall show.
What are you talking about? There are always references in Moffat's era. Too many in fact.
Up until now I liked Capaldi and was giving him a chance to find this Doctor. This scene, THIS SCENE is when I went all in with him as The Doctor. I adore this.
And what's really interesting is that 10 started breaking rules, and eventually, he went too far (The Waters of Mars). Look how this decision affected the rest of this season for him. Me became an adversary for awhile but eventually ran off with Clara.
I loved capaldi as the doctor from day 1
@@estelasayeed5608 Same. I knew Capaldi would be a great Doctor. I just had to wait for the writing to catch up. (And I'm not talking about the Doctor being "too dark" or some such shit. I loved that aspect of the character, and Capaldi always retains a bit of a twinkle in his eye.)
He became afraid of himself and breaking the rules after The Waters of Mars. But after gaining a new set of regenerations, The Doctor had to be reminded that breaking the rules to save someone- not everyone, but someone- is important.
I remember people complaining so loudly when they heard the "I'm the Doctor, and I save people" line in the trailer, but in context it becomes absolutely wonderful.
I was 100% one of those people and I was 100% blown away when I had to eat my words upon viewing the episode.
Probably my favourite 12th Doctor moment. Well, this and the 'Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference' scene in series 8. Capaldi was incredible.
I love this. It's a real goosebump kind of moment. The realisation that he modelled his appearance on the Pompeiian Caecilius, and that yes, he can cause ripples. The homage to the first and second of his incarnations, in his checked trousers, is cool, too.
This scene brings back sad memories of Caecilius' death in my first Latin textbook :(
YES I REMEMBER THAT HAHA XD
At least the cook survived...or was it the servant.
The Cook was the drunk xD
Skidboy7 It was Quintus and Clemens. Clemens was my fav
Grumio and Bregans would have been best friends
I love just how many layers are piled onto this scene. The context of this episode on its own, its relation to Deep Breath, its connection to 10 and Donna and Pompeii, and especially its relation to the impending end of the Doctor and Clara's travels together. The Doctor says that his memory of Clara when she is gone will haunt him and send him back into his normal spiral, so when the time actually comes for the Doctor to let Clara go, she wipes his memory clean of her to spare him that pain. She's been with him all his lives, in a peculiar sense, being in his timestream. And when the 12 DOES remember Clara, it's met with a wave of joy, not sadness, as he regenerates into the generally more cheery and "fam"-focused 13.
I LOVE when the Doctor has memories of precious companions. It really brings such sentimental value and homage to them and those special moments
and then he saves the one Person that kills Clara...irony at its best
well it's not like she meant for Clara to die >.> Clara got herself in that spot without knowing
"The timelord victorious is wrong"
And Waters of Mars....
Seems like that's kind of the point... Clara dies basically as a result of his breaking the rules. The ripple effect is real, the Doctor just didn't expect to get hit by the ripples.
Uh, no, Clara killed Clara, nobody else.
The way he says 'to hold me to the mark'. Delivered so so well.
Always a treat to see the Doctor remember specific things from their past regenerations. Really ties together how it’s the same person in different forms
3:37 the iconic god damn music that always plays at scenes like this will never not make me bop. its like when someone in need of help hears the tardis in the show, it fills me with excitement and hope. thank you, doctor
This is such an interesting scene when you consider the parallel's of the doctor's revelations with 'the timelord victorious' in waters of mars. Tennant's whole arc is probably the most tragic of all the doctors, and waters of mars is really the beginning of his final act. The doctor's own revelations as a continuation of the choice he made in pompeii link directly to waters of mars where his actions seem to trigger the beginning of his death, again when he gets stubborn and refuses to accept history it returns only to hurt him like saving adelaide brooks. The link isn't just 'fires of pompeii' to 'the girl who died' but the cause of 10's final act and his regenerating alone runs alongside the loss of Clara in Season 9, where all of this remembering his power lead to clara's loss. of course Moffat doesn't carry it off as well as Davies, but I think it's worth noting the reference is way more than superficial,
What's fasinating and so tear-jerkingly inspiring... is that the Doctor is constantly learning from his companions (that come and go)... learning and evolving how to be an even kinder and fairer living being as time passes. It's just incredible.
3:25 "Never cruel or cowardly. Never give up and never give in."
"To Hell With You!!" had me screaming "YESSSSSSS" 'at my TV when that happened.
Oh my god, it's not just that Donna inspired Twelve to save Ashildr. Saving Ashildr's life by giving her immortality resulted in her tricking the Doctor into his confession dial, which led to him eventually ending up on Gallifrey. It was because of Donna Noble that the Doctor found his way home.
The most important girl in the universe. Hell without Donna we know the Doctor would have died a long time ago, and the world would have ended a dozen times over.
When I saw Peter Capaldi in Fires of Pompeii, I KNEW THEY'D BRING IT UP AGAIN. Honestly I was overjoyed when I saw this episode.
Brilliant scene! Guess who correctly made a theory on this in 2014? ;)
You did! Great Job!
:D That's gr8 m8.
There's still no official explanation for his Torchwood incarnation :P
Frobishier is Caecillius' descendent. Problem of three Capaldis, Solved!
Link please!!! I would love to watch that video.
"I never forget a face."
-The Eleventh Doctor
THE TIMELORD VICTORIOUS IS WRONG!
DOCTOR, HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING?
Thank you! I thought I was the only one who instead of Pompei thought of Waters of Mars
"I figured something out along all those years...Im not a champion...And im not a survivor...I...Am an idiot"
-12th/10th doctor
It's having this face that gave him the clue that he could do something, and that if it's not clear whether he can, he should try.
To be honest The whole “Time Lord Victorious is wrong” felt weirdly forced to me and never made much scene. It was dark, because the scene made it look dark. The Doctor has always changed or effected history. He has always ignored the time lord law of no interference. That particular event was set in our future and I never thought the future (our future) was set in stone. Plus I don’t see why a granddaughter WOULDN’T be inspired by her living grandmother. Plus I don’t get where the ending. If the future of the human race was on the line then make sure it stays the same (she was still alive). Don’t get mad at the guy who risked everything to save a few more lives. Also how is killing yourself inspiring? If anything that should be seen as shameful. I could see THAT drastically changes things, but apparently it made them normal again (Like how?)... the whole thing just didn’t make sense to me and felt like it was trying to make what the doctor did all the time seem wrong. I’m pretty sure if he DIDN’T interfere with history then our history and future would be completely rewritten (which sounds confusing but is Dr. Who).
Honestly, @@vullord666, the whole "Time Lord Victorious is wrong" thing makes a lot of sense... _if_ what's-her-name was suicidal by the time Ten saved her.
Say what you will about capaldi run as The Doctor but you've got to admit that he hits hard when he gets into a speech
2:38- That was the moment he realized who he is and always meant to be!
Just another example of why Capaldi is my favorite Doctor. He makes you feel the torture; the pain inside. The reference to loss comes up often during his tenure, as does his tendency to break the rules to save someone, especially at the end of this season.
"One day...the memory of that will hurt so much, I won't be able to breathe" The foreshadowing.
Doesn't the tenth doctor also have the line: "i'm the doctor, I save people" somewhere as well?
Voyage of the dammed
slightly more prolific but ye
I think this one was done better.
His first full episode. "I'm the Doctor, and I cured them!"
It was actually Donna who said "you're the Doctor, you save people"
2:20 “The laws of time are mine, and they will obey me!” You can’t do everything, Doctor. You shouldn’t be allowed to.
Still brings tears to my eyes. Such an incredibly powerful scene and Peter nailed it.
2:49 Flashback goes: *Angry mad Tennant's face* " THE LAWS OF TIME ARE MINEE"
I hope Ncuti has moments like this on his run as the Doctor: quiet moments of introspection where the action stops and everything is allowed to breathe.
Where the Doctor can look at themselves and ask if they'd done the right thing.
Jodie didn't have moments like this (If she did, I certainly can't remember), and I think that's one of the reasons her time as the Doctor suffered. Among other things.
With RTD finally running the show again he would definitely have it. Tons of it even.
@@_____2219 Here's hoping.
I miss Donna...
" I don't mean the war, I'll loose any war you like.
I'm sick of loosing people. "
I love how old & wise 12 is , he has so many quotes like that
Fires of Pompeii is my favorite solo episode of Doctor Who. It truly captures why the Doctor needs Donna. Donna reminded him of who he needs to be. At the time of this episodes release, I nearly cried after seeing them reference it. Oh this scene was beautiful. Season 9 has some brilliant scenes from Capaldi.
Still not an explanation for his Torchwood incarnation :D
That was time trying to correct itself, hence why he shot himself, time sort of satisfying itself by correcting the error with the same face. The Doctor regenerating into that face was basically his way of sticking his middle finger up at time and telling it it's not his boss.
Moffat explained it in an interview back when the episode had aired, and apparently they only explained the Caecilius face because adding a plot point from Torchwood would have been unfair on younger viewers.
But hey, RTD didn't have a problem including Torchwood in S4 finale.
"Oh boy, Torchwood looks like a lot of fun, let's watch it ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... *NOPE*"
I wish the Doctor makes a cameo in Torchwood audio adventures at least.
+Zebitas Martinex zebitas no pensé verte por aquí :D
RTD explained that one himself. Frobisher was the Roman dude's descendant and lost his family like he should have.
+Danny O'Gara But the Doctor was never able to see John Frobisher so the scene wouldn't have made any sense if Moffat would have includet it.
This is what made Peters run so good for me.
I was BEYOND sick of the idea of the Doctor becoming this legendary war monster throughout the universe. Turning back armies at the mention of his name. Yeah. We get it.
“I… am… an Idiot! With a screwdriver. Passing through, helping out!”
THATS What the Doctor should be. He isn’t some grand cosmic space god. It’s just someone helping others because it’s the right thing to do. It’s kind. Just kind.
For me this was when Capaldi solidified the fact that he would be an amazing doctor. And then the zygon inversion and heaven sent proved he's one of the best
I loove how Capaldi's Doctor so much more intertwined not only with classic who, but with the start and early age of new who itself! It's almost like that if 11th is the Doctor that forgets, 12th is the Doctor Who Remembers
Capaldi's Doctor has had a strange mixture of completely unsure who he is, and complete confidence to do what he needs to.
this is why we need an episode of the fires of pompeii from the twelfth doctor's point of view
Late but, 12 never was in Pompeii, the Doctor never forgets a face and he remembered that roman's face and subconsciously used it as a reminder
The Doctor, a man who has lost so much and has so little, being reminded that it is the little sacrifices he makes that makes him the better man in any situation. No matter how old he gets, his past regenerations are reminders and this current face is his way of showing it. I loved how they did this
They really did acknowledge that! And remembered how imported Donna was (who is the best companion besides Rose). I FREAKING LOVE IT!
Rewatching the show, it's crazy seeing both the twelfth doctor AND Amy Pond in the same episode as completely different characters
This moment really defined who the Doctor was, it really summed up what he promoted and what he would do to save people
Best doctor, in my opinion. An angry yet impartial yet kind scottsman seems closest to what a timeless being would become after a few million years lol
I knew that the 12th doctor was in the episode called the fire of Pompeii, I just thought it had no significance or the fact that he is an amazing actor and he just so happened to get the role. Also Amy (the 11th doctor companion) was also had a role in the Fire of Pompeii does this also mean that there is a reason behind the fact that she just so happened to book the role of an important character.
My daughter and I were watching this.
When David and Donna showed up she jumped off the couch, covered her mouth in shock and said “NO WAY!!!!
I sat up in surprise at the same time and with a big grin I said “OMG!!!
Ah those father/daughter moments❤
And thus my appreciation of Capaldi's Doctor fully solidified. I won't lie, having Donna and Ten and the Pompeii scene helped make it one of my all time favorite in the Nu Who. But wow, was I moved. Watched it over and over like ten times.
Donna saving yet more lives from beyond. Including inspiring the Doctor one last time.
This scene really hits different when you realize the 14th Doctor learned that his 10th face is back and Donna Noble appearing in 60th anniversary specials. I'm wondering if the 60th anniversary specials are retooling this plot point for the 14th Doctor. The trailers do indicate that The Doctor is wondering what kind of man he is and why he regenerated to a familiar face (10th Doctor).
I love this scene, the scores ties in so well with Capaldi saying “ I’m the doctor!”. I really shows his talent and experience as an actor and how he carried the show throughout his run.
ABSOLUTE CHILLS EVERY TIME I SEE THIS SCENE! And this is the episode that clamped down firmly on my affection for Capaldi.
When I first saw this, I cried. Seeing 10 and Donna again was a massive surprise
The moment he realizes... man, those are some Tom Baker level of gestures. Very similar, especially at 2:56
12's voice often sounded like Tom Baker's. Once I noticed it, it was quite spooky.
Rewatching Capald's run and right here I started loving him. He became my Doctor here. I know this is 8 years old the Capaldi is my Doctor 😭 and I started loving so much after the season 8 because he just begins having these amazing lines and speeches that I hold dear to me. Thank you Doctor.
One of the reasons I liked this episode, was that it tapped into the recurring theme of the Doctor's resolve not to change time(lines) and to break the laws of time when he becomes emotional. The Doctor does know too well what he as a Time Lord is capable of, so because of the person who he is, he imposed the promise on himself not to ever cross this red line. That's where the companions come in, as he needs somebody to keep him grounded and remind him of his promise. They hold up the mirror to him, challenge him in his beliefs and question his motives and actions, so he is able to reflect on himself through them. The companions themselves keep telling him to find someone (Donna) and not to travel alone (Amy, River). He has seen what he may become otherwise: the Time Lord Victorious, who stands above the laws of time and make them obey him, as shown in "The Waters of Mars".
"The Waters of Mars" and "The Girl Who Died" show the Doctor in his moment of weakness when he becomes emotional and tired of losing people constantly. In both episodes he acts on his impulse and crosses the red line, thereby saves people who were supposed to die but the motives couldn't be more different: in "The Waters of Mars", the Tenth Doctor chooses to save people and change the course of history, only because he can and he shows that he has the power to do so, he chooses to be a winner. Whereas in "The Girl Who Died", the Twelfth Doctor is reminded by the events of "The Fires of Pompeii" why he chose this face: to try at least to save someone, to be a Doctor (not a warrior). His intention to save Ashildr may have been good but being emotional in that moment, he didn't think it through what his action may cause.
"You, with your eyes and your never giving up and your anger and kindness" describes The Doctor just as much as it does Clara. Devoted, big eyes, big anger and an extremely big heart
Clara: Whats it for?
Peter: To remind me... (not putting the whole line)
Clara: *Confusion*
Most versions of the Doctor already meet a future face on-screen(yes I know only the oldest Doctor remembers meeting the other versions, but his subconscious could recall without a paradox)
* 2: 1 meets him in The Three Doctors
* 3: It was chosen for him, though 1 and 2 meet him in The Three and Five Doctors
* 5: 1, 2 and 3 met him in The Five Doctors
* 6: He got it from Commander Maxil, and 2 met him in The Six Doctors
* War: He chose the face to be a warrior
* 10: 5 and War met him
* 11: War and 10 met him
* 12: He got it from Caecilius, and 1 met him in Twice Upon A Time
1:52 - 2:16 he is absolutely terrified of losing her, it's sad how his worst fear comes true later in the season.
After I realized Colin Baker played a Gallifreyan guard who encountered #5 in _Arc of Infinity_ I wanted #6 to say "I know where I got this face and I know what it's for. I'm the Doctor and I'm an annoying spluttering hysteric. And if you've got any kind of problem with that, fire me after 2 extra-short series."
Lol😂
This. This is when Capaldi went from being a doctor to being THE Doctor.
Interestingly enough, while that face was a reminder to hold him to the mark, he failed to learn 10s most important lesson. 10 learned that you can't just willy nilly do stuff like this because it has consequences. He decided here that he wasn't going to accept her death and nobody was gonna tell him no and it set in action a course of events that lead to Clara's death. Almost like punishing him for failing to remember the lessons. Whats worse is that he seemed to be saying exactly that before it clicked for him here.
that moment when he says if anyone has a problem with that, to hell with you... and then in hell bent they have a problem with that so he basically is like "to hell with you"
The best scene of new who. Moffat had a real gift when it came to linking previous story lines
YES DAVID TENNANT I WILL COME WITH YOU!!!!
'to remind me, to hold me to the mark' just encompasses capaldi's doctor. season 9 is concerned entirely with remembrance and the importance of looking back to move forward. he IS the doctor here.
The best 12th Doctor moment ever
Heaven Sent as a whole is the best 12th Doctor moment ever
+Zebitas Martinex Heaven Sent as a whole is the best New Who moment ever.
+Danny O'Gara Yeah!
Heaven Sent as a whole is the best moment ever.
+Flo K you meant worst, right
I like how they finally let him remember where he saw that face. Where he began. His life as The Doctor.
I am Arya Stark of Winterfell and i'm going home
-Finally a girl is no one.
-No, I call myself 'Me'. All the other names I chose died with whoever
knew me. 'Me' is who I am now. No one's mother, daughter, wife. My own
companion - singular, unattached, alone.
That would be a cool crossover.
What would? If the two characters were one and the same and 'Arya Stark; was one of her past identities?
Harry Morris Echoes.
Harry Morris Or rather, to give it a Bioshock twist: Whispers through the walls.
Doctor who is always moving forwards. Always.
And that's what makes moments like this linking the past so much more impactful and meaningful
POMPEII HYPE!!!!!!!!
" I can do anything. There's nothing I can't do. " Sounded to much like the Time Lord Victorious to me
