"What I did, I did without choice. In the name of peace and sanity."
"But not in the name of the Doctor..."
the secret he revealed at his grave
Smith can be very underappreciated in terms of epic lines. Some say his goofy antics undermine his serious moments but I think it's enhances them. When the Raggedy Man fades and the Time Lord emerges, you know something serious is about to go down.
@@wolfpack_104
Exactly! When he gets serious, you know it's on.
One of the best pieces of dialogue in the entire series!
Ok.... absolutely no reason to type out exactly what we heard said in the video. You're not starting a conversation you're not adding to a conversation you're not making a comment and you're just quoting something we heard 2 minutes ago and now we need to read your typed out bullshit
One of those reactions we "waited forever for " xD
Got to love Arrons smirk this entire reaction
@Encynical Reactions are posted a week early on Patreon. People who support blind wave on patreon get to see this episode early before us common folk lol. (and since they have this youtube link, they can leave comments here)
I'm personally waiting for christmas special 10x00.
@Encynical ROTFLMAO! ;)
Trenzalore has been mentioned before. Remember Dorian(the blue head guy) The doctor asked him why the silents believed his future had to be averted. Dorian says, "On the fields of Trenzalore at the fall of the eleventh when no living creature can speak falsely or fail to answer a question will be asked...The silents are determined the question will never be answered, that the doctor will never reach Trenzalore... Doctor who?"
Wow. Mind = blown.
I really like the solution to Clara's mystery: the Impossible Girl was in fact a very normal human being, who just happened to be the Doctor's companion at the time he went to Trenzalore.
me too!
@@MichaelWake95 well tbh that’s pretty much impossible to avoid unless the show runners back in the 60s were preparing for this arc 😂
@@edgymoji8260 Exactly, that's why it's a shitty idea. If you have to rewrite or ignore the whole show to make your idea work then maybe the idea just doesn't work.
Please watch season 8 again
Indeed. Also, I love your username by the way!
The 12 Regeneration rule was established years before The Eighth Doctor movie
And even if events in the movie aren't canon, Paul McGann is still the 8th Doctor regardless
It was never a rule, just a the way things are usually done. Some people have more than 12 Regenerations some have less.
@@Kekkersboy No. It is a rule. It was established in the Deadly Assassin that Time Lords only have 12 Regeneration. There has been some instances of Time Lords getting extra like The Doctor does in Time of the Doctor and how the Master was resurrected by the Time Lords for the Time War alongside Rassilon. It is a rule, refered to by the Daleks as "The Rule of Regeneration".
@@TheZebbga When I say it's not a rule I more mean that it was already established in old who that it's possible to have more. As in it's not something concrete.
@@Kekkersboy Well it is something concrete until an additional factor comes into play. It is like saying I have two arms and a two legs. That is a fact but would change if one of them was blown off or I was in an accident. But yes, it was established before the 8th Doctor Movie.
Man, idk of they are ready for these next two episodes. Oh Aaron don't forget that 10 regenerated twice
Yea I correct that later. Mixed up rivers regenerations with the doctor.
@@rowdeemunkee He had vanity issues at the time
"Introducing John Hurt as The Doctor" Still gives me the chills all these years later.
As is obvious by now I adore Clara, so I really love this whole "I was born to save the Doctor" idea, and the reveal of why there are echos of her throughout time.
Vastra, Jenny and Strax all thankfully survived. The GI was... defeated. We got to see my beloved River Song again, and she interacted with Clara which was FANTASTIC!
Trenzalore, the final resting place of the Doctor. And bigger on the outside TARDIS.
I just really love 'The Name Of The Doctor' 😍
"What I did, I did without choice…"
"I know."
"…in the name of peace, and sanity."
"But not in the name of the Doctor!"
Aaron's face during the John Hurt reveal is perfect.
He's seen them before with mel
@@karazor-el9596 No shit, thats why amazing chi is calling attention to aarons face
The John Hurt turnaround reaction was everything I've been hoping for. Love how much the onscreen text threw them too.
Broken record, but next week (And all the lead-up apparently!) is gonna be amazing.
I always loved how “run you clever boy, and remember me” by Clara Prime became “run you clever boy, and remember” in all the other versions - the last syllable being missed off the echos
I've been waiting for this one. SO thrilled by Eric's reaction to John Hurt...and even more thrilled for the crew's reaction to the next two episodes. They're my favorite Doctor Who episodes.
I was lucky enough to see the next one on the big screen it was awesome
@@ppem1988 I did too!
I like Calvin's jaw drop. It's so subtle.
This episode was soooooo satisfying, especially as a conclusion to Clara's mystery. She wasn't anyone special, or a special trap laid out by the universe for the Doctor. She was just an ordinary girl who happened to be there and sacrificed herself to save the Doctor. All through series 7B the Doctor has not fully trusted Clara, always keeping a suspicious eye on her despite his growing affection for her. With this mystery cleared up, and the knowledge of what she did for him, he won't hold back any more, and their relationship in the coming episodes and series will become deeper and deeper.
Nothing compared to River though!
I think because 11th cautiousness of Clara is why I prefer her as the companion of the 12th
This is a good finale to the season !!. We finally get the answer as to why Clara is the Impossible Girl and I thought it was cool and satisfying .
It’s always nice to see Strax ,Vastra and Jenny aswell as River , her moment with the Doctor towards the end was emotional .
Also that cliffhanger is crazy ....I can’t wait for you guys to watch the 50th!!
I honestly felt this episode would've been better if the opening sequence didn't happen, where they "spoil" the end of the episode.
Showing Clara with the first doctor? Good.
Showing that whole dreamy weamy falling moment? bad.
ArlanKels ehh I didn’t mind it .. it felt more like a tease but fair enough
@@taimurmuggo1634
Yeah the main reason I didn't like it was because I immediately knew once I saw the time strand thingy what was coming next.
Schedule for the next week:
Thursday - Save the Day Trailer
Saturday - An Adventure in Space and Time
Monday - Night of the Doctor
Tuesday - The Last Day
Wednesday - The Day of the Doctor
Awesome!!
I wish
This Real?
yes, all needed to be watched!
No Night of the Doctor?
Good thing Aaron stopped them before they went too deep into talking about Doctors past Matt.
I can't wait to see Calvin's Reaction to the Curator in Day of the Doctor, also The Regeneration they are forgetting is David Tennant when he was killed by the Dalek and regenerated into his hand, Surprised Aaron forgot about that one.
Not going to name names, but the voice … I knew who it was immediately
I literally have been waiting for this video since episode 1 of series 1. Cheers from Brazil, guys.
We are here boys!!! And I cannot WAIT for the next episodes!!!
Now we wait for the next 2 episodes, which are absolutely AMAZING!!! Some of the best in my opinion.
And when we get to the last one, I'm gonna cry
Such a good episode. The next 2 are masterpieces.
No they are not
JustSomeRandomGuy Online Well don’t ruin it for the people who think so.
if you mean day and time of doctor, ok. but they should also react to night of the doctor
Yeah. A perfect celebration of a show's history.
@@nightwingjosh8491 they did
I love Matt Smith performance he is such a great actor
@5:00 Eric: "the hell is trensalore?" it was mentioned back in the wedding of river song. it's part of the prophecy the silence were trying to prevent. also, hope they react to night of the doctor next
"On the fields of Trenzalore where no living thing could speak falsely or fail to answer, a question will be asked. A question which must never be answered. Doctor Who?"
-Dorium Maldovar, The Wedding of River Song (S6E13)
Here we gooo. The beginning of a great 3 episodes (4 if you include night of the doctor!)
Who wouldn’t,
So hope they do I only saw it after I saw day of the doctor but even that makes me think they need to react to it
Calvin's jawdrop and Eric's red face at the revelation of John Hurt was priceless 🤣
I came back to watch this tonight. You guys echoed my feelings almost exactly. Eric your John Reaction cracked me up!
12:08 who DOSENT love John Hurt? He is Amazing
Even aliens want to hug him whenever they see his face.
Ookamino
...And get close to his heart. :D
@@aureliaansah1462 hearts
War Doctor reveal!! Over the years, I've seen two basic types of reactions to this reveal; glad to see both of them represented here: Eric's reaction, and Calvin's reaction. :D
12:30 lol Aaron has to sit and be quiet while they ask questions and theorize. Props to him cuz I wouldn’t be able to not talk about what’s coming up hahahaha
Been waiting for this reaction. I may be harsh on series 7, maybe even a little _too_ harsh, but that reveal at the end might go down as my favourite reveal in the whole show. A mystery Doctor, one we've never seen before, who did something so bad that later incarnations refused to acknowledge him and even straight up despise him, played by the legendary John Hurt. That was such an awesome moment back when it aired. I knew what was coming but I still get goosebumps re-watching this, from the first shot of him and especially when he starts talking.
19:19 What you are talking about, Aaron, is a mini-episode called Clarence and the Whispermen which is a prequel to this episode.
I really wish they had gone ahead with that Strax, Vastra, and Jenny spin-off.
“I never realised you were a woman...”
River has that “could I get away with killing him... again?” expression.
While the actual resolution at the end of the episode is a bit too "Timey Wimey Wibble Wobbly it just works" for my taste, and I don't know how I actually feel about some of the story implications, I do still absolutely love the rest of the episode. Lot of great fun, lot of drama, and some great performances by the cast too. Matt Smith in particular is fantastic during that scene where the Doctor's mask briefly slips and he starts breaking down about having to go to Trenzalore.
Strax is amazing. What he says could easily sound ridiculous but they make it work and almost everything he says is hilarious.
We're so close I can TASTE IT!!!!!
Oh man, I can not wait for your guys' reactions to the next episode. It was awesome meeting you at Celebration too!
I seem to recall in the Let's Kill Hitler episode, River gave her remaining regeneration stuff to the Doctor, not the other way around.
@Castiel Feather My headcanon - slight spoiler alert I guess - is that the Let's Kill Hitler regeneration transplant is what extended the Doctor's span and may also have had some side effects. A certain somebody else is already known to have exceeded their original limit through various means, and similar side effects appear to have eventually happened there.
But yeah, there's the hand thing, and I think also another instance of Tennant almost regenerating, but I seem to have forgotten it myself.
Right it was Angels Take Manhattan when the Doctor gave up some regeneration energy.
Hopefully they do "Night of the Doctor" before "Day of the Doctor"
Love your reaction to John Hurt Eric... That was awesome.
BRILLIANT REACTION, love this ep, just finished full length now to watch early access, let the road to the 50th begin, don't forget the great intelligent was in bells of St John ep also :)
Very thankful that this is not River's last appearance. I do love the way her final episode goes, though I won't spoil which that is for anyone who doesn't already know.
The moment you realise those on Pateron get to view the next episode already
Great reaction! I hope you guys also watch the “Night of the Doctor” prequel before the next big episode - it’s a great mini-story with an event that was long overdue!
I'm guessing that's the special thing Aaron said is going up tomorrow!
They are. I believe this is the schedule:
Save the Day is tomorrow. Adventure in Space and Time on Saturday. Night of the Doctor on Monday. Last Day on Tuesday. Day of the Doctor on Wednesday.
@AbilityCS They've posted the info on their Patreon-connected Discord channel.
Oh, brilliant - thanks, all!
"She got Cosby-ed." I love Eric!!
oh my! next week's the episode I have been waiting for since you began reacting to Doctor Who!
I have waited SO LONG for this and the next few. ^_^
It will all be worth it.
11:21 Rest in peace, John Hurt
I find Aaron so cute when he's always discreetly wiping away tears lol
When it comes to the great intelligence, they introduced them in 'the snowmen' and are the being behind the group in 'the bells of saint John'. The idea bring that they've used this time to grow smarter and evolve, so now they don't need the body.
God damn. All this time later and John Hurt's reveal STILL gives me goosebumps.
This is one of my most fav ever eps. And getting to see it in the cinema was just brilliant
John Hurt. I first became aware of him in the late 1970s in 'I Claudius' (he played Caligula). 'Elephant Man', 'Alien', so many great roles. His appearance in 'Doctor Who' is magical.
As for Strax fighting, it was pointed out in 'The Sontaran Experiment' (4th Doctor, Season 12), Sontar is a high-gravity planet, and Sontarans, while small, are very, very strong.
Does anyone remember waaaaay back early on in these reactions they were speculating on who would make a good doctor. Eric's first choice was John Hurt. Let me know if you remember which reaction it was in. I guess it would be somewhere around Christmas Invasion maybe?
As much as I'm looking forward to seeing all of them react to the next amazing episodes, if I'm honest Calvin's reactions are the ones I'm most excited for. His knowledge of classic who will make this especially meaningful. But I know they're all just going to be losing their minds and I'm pretty sure there will be onion ninjas around.
Yeah I'm so ready for Calvin's reaction to all the Gallifrey stuff, and the Tom Baker cameo, and all the classic who callbacks
Oh shit... It has begun...
This episode is simply - all that is best about Doctor Who. Plus it has one of my three favourite companions (along with Amy and Sarah-Jane).
Can't wait for their reactions to the next two episodes. Been waiting for these three reactions for over a year. XD
It may have been said further down, but it is Essential, especially given your comments, that you watch the mini episodes leading up to the 50th Anniversary episode. You simply HAVE to watch Night of the Doctor, as it answers a lot of your questions. BTW, Mark Gatis is the name of the writer/actor you were looking for.
Everyone forgets his most famous scene in Alien.
The scene that was talked about for decades. Lol.
John Hurt was the guy in which the alien burst out of his chest in the original Alien movie!
Steven Mclean & the elephant man.
The movie is canon. Remember in the "Human Nature," "the Next Doctor," and "the Eleventh Hour" episodes, all of which showed faces of past Doctors...they all show Paul McGann from the TV movie. He is the Eighth Doctor.
Aaron did a nice job here kinda pointing everyone in the right direction without spoiling anything. Well done.
First got to know John Hurt when he was playing The Storyteller in Jim Henson's series of the same name. I knew right away he was a top-shelf actor, and he never diminished that opinion.
So begins the best series of Doctor Who episodes there ever was or will be.
These latest reactions have been great fun as always, but wrap your seatbelts gentlemen, there's lots of timey wimey stuff yet to come ;)
I hope they are planning to watch the mini-episode "Night of the Doctor" next. It is next in line before the "The Day of the Doctor" 50th special. Night of the Doctor is a must watch!!!!
According with Moffat she even was in the library when the 10th met River!!!!
There was actually a clip in the episode that shows her in the library with 10
@@ava__rose In the episode we do not see that, if that clip exists, and I am not doubting you, it was added later
@BlindWave - Tennant's 10th Doctor used up a regeneration at the end of series 4 but avoided a full change by channeling half the energy in to his chopped off hand in that container ("Stolen Earth", "Journey's End") so including John Hurt's Doctor that all 12 regenerations.
I loved how when the episode ended Calvin just sat, his jaw floored for a minute or two. lol. Great reaction guys!
John Hurt has been so many different roles, obviously the elephant man, launching the alien from his chest, Quinton Crisp, Olivanda, but when he turned around, he forever became “THE DOCTOR” thank mr hurt for having the vision too accept the role.
Hey Aaron I know this might not be possible but when you show them the 50th anniversary do you think you could blur out the intro credit names of David Tennant and Billie Piper during their viewing of the episode? I know you might have already filmed it and editing might be a pain but seeing them go in completely blind to the return of the two of them would be crazy cool
Lono (the editor) removed the names from the credits
@AbilityCS from what I've heard Lono has edited to the point that you won't even be able to tell there was anything missing
I remember lono commenting ages ago he was planning it. About a year ago.
I’m sure it’ll be worth it.
Oh am I going to LOVE their reactions to the next videos or what 🤣 I've waited so long for these reactions 😄❤
UGH! Can't wait for the next episode. It is truly a fantastic episode. I've watched that one on the day it came out and so many more times since then. It is WONDERFUL!!!
I've been waiting all day for this!!
With Game of Thrones and Star Wars this is an amazing week for reactions!!
Love you guys!! Best reactors!
John Hurt is known as the War Doctor
Trensalor was mentioned in finale of season 6
This one and the day of the doctor are my favorites and can't wait to watch their reactions for both of them.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEEN WAITING 2 YEARS JUST FOR THESE NEXT EOISODES
I think Clara might be my favourate companion.
They've had alot of good ones though.
WOOO BEST MINISODE IS NEXT BABY
This is the episode that got me into Doctor Who. This and the Day of the Doctor special which is next got be absolutely hooked
Still wish they would've named Hurt's regeneration The Warrior (or the War Doctor, but I've never liked that designation) right off the bat. Introducing him as The Doctor here when the entire point of him is that he doesn't identify as such just muddies everything up more than needed.
12 regeneration maximum was established in The Deadly Assassin, a fourth doctor episode. 13 doctors, twelve regenerations.
Fun fact, in the script for The Name of the Doctor, when it introduces the John Hurt Doctor it says (paraphrased because I can't just pull the script out of my pocket to double check) "And the most famous actor in the world turns around" Moffet has confirmed that he always intended for this to refer to John Hurt
I just went on to Patreon spent £5 and watched the next reaction just now, I couldn’t wait aha
I saw you tearing up over there in the corner... I did too :) It is a very emotional episode.
11:51 The Doctor Joins Smash!
River is one of the best if not the best characters ever written, when you think her appearances are in reverse or at least out of order
What people seem to forget when Clara says "Run you clever boy and remember" before jumping into the timestream is that she was already familiar with that phrase. It's the mnemonic device for the Maitland's wifi password, which she learned/said when she was talking to the Doctor on the phone for the first time. So when she says "Run you clever boy and remember me" here, she is giving instructions to the Doctor, but she's also making a reference to when they first met (from her point of view).
I think if you go back and look again, you'll see that the prisoner at the beginning is actually played by the same dude as the Great Intelligence (or at least, I'm pretty sure that he is). So the implication is that he was just another one of the Intelligence's puppets who was sent there to give him the message about Trenzalore.
Wolf6120 it’s not the same actor
now seems like a good time to rewatch their reactions up to this point.
the next one will be the most anticipated reaction yet.
In "Let's kill Hitler" River gave to the doctor her regeneration energy, not athor way round.
Yeah the John Hurt reveal had us all guessing to when this premiered ! Can't wait to the next episode Love the 50th anniversay you are in for a treat!
In the Library episode River said that the last time she saw The Doctor before then was when he took her to the Singing Towers
I love the "I know that face" look before John Hurt turned around.
Ohhh god I’m so excited for you guys to see Day of the Doctor
The reaction we have all been waiting for is coming very soon. So excited to see your thoughts on the 50th anniversary
12 Regenerations.
Established in: 'The Deadly Assassin.'
Years before, even: 'The Five Doctors.'
carealoo744 the five doctors was after the deadly assassin
@@CrankyGrandma Yes. Sorry, I think you misread my comment, I said: 'The Deadly Assassin,' was: 'Years Before: 'The Five Doctors.'' As in: 'Earlier!' :)
carealoo744 oh sorry! I misunderstood
No Problem! :)
