I love the Weng Chiang cliffhanger where Teela was about to get pounced, and then the start of the next part is just her effortlessly demolishing the guy
You can tell how young and indoctrinated the Doctor was here. He's still very much indoctrinated by the Time Lord philosophy he grew up with on Gallifrey, willing to watch an innocent life be taken and refusing to even change a small detail of history. It wasn't until he started taking on human companions that he learned the virtues of compassion and respect for sentient life.
Its funny that one of the Doctor's biggest motivations, that is to give help to those whom he believes need it, is completely at odds with the prime directive of Star Trek, which all the members of starfleet claim to follow. While the Doctor occasionally owns up to his mistakes, the characters in Star Trek repeatedly break the rules yet still insist that they follow the prime directive without question.
the doctor has alwasy been liek that. he knows the burden of time travel. like he said. he has never stopped hitler, he had to cause pompeii to die, he couldn't even bring himself to destroy the daleks. even when it was a mission to him given by the time lords.
was he? or was he respecting the time and culture of the people there, while they may not like it, it's a completely different culture and time in history where beliefs and norms are completely different than that of our modern sensibilities. that doesn't make them inherently evil... and i think the good doctor was smart enough to respect that. there's a difference between an innocence caught in war, it's another when it's part of an entirely different societal belief system. in the end he respects the historical event and they do their best to leave only a lasting memory of peace which frankly is very much the doctor to me.
My, how some things can change over time. Lol. (Day of the Doctor) Tenth: "You aren't suggesting that we change history?" Eleventh: "We change history all the time."
techically they didn't rewrite history. gallifrey was never destroy. they just forgot they saved it. the cracks and the silence were all part there because be never destroyed gallifrey and the war on trenzalore happens.
Meh. I think Colin Baker is the most underrated Doctor. But Hartnell is definitely underrated. His era mostly gets overlooked, except for the big stuff. He had some brilliant stories, and his acting in all of them was absolutely brilliant.
I hate when people use this to try and pick problems with the modern show, as if they've broken some ancient rule. The Doctor's character has developed over time. He has mellowed, been swayed by his companions and sometimes - as in Waters of Mars - acted out of anger, arrogance and emotion. This was the Doctor at the very beginning - still influenced by the laws of the Time Lords and without the compassion his many companions would come to teach him.
I honestly agree not to mention the Doctor said these things when the Time Lords were still a living force in the universe and time. They were still at the height of their rule-barring any expanded Doctor Who canon which I'm not familiar with outside of the television program - and their lessons and directives as keepers of time probably were still something that the Doctor held as a paramount way to look at life. He was a young man here after all stuck in the aged form of his first regeneration or technically first body before his first regeneration. The lessons from his future adventures & with his companions, the seeming loss of his people due to his own casual loop with the Daleks, Davros and Skaro, and seeing first hand how time can be flouted and times when fixed moments can never be flouted taught him the hard lessons about the long and short of time travel on a person level.
Forget the stuff in new Who. The Doctor is utterly correct here. To steal a line from the three-eyed crow in GoT, 'The past is written, the ink is dry'. If You were able to go back and change one small thing in the past that you didn't like, the ripples resulting from that change would become a tsunami affecting future events right up to the present, perhaps even including your own existence. Just think about your own life - if you could change something you did during your schooldays, like what subjects you studied or where you went to university (or indeed didn't go to uni at all), it could change your entire life's experience, whether that be for the better or for the worse.
@@ShanghaiRooster First of all, the very first rule of time in Doctor Who, you must not, or even can't normally, CHANGE YOUR OWN TIMESTREAM. Talking about "tsunamis", time usually repairs itself
I think fans are adhere to strictly to canon to think about these things rationally. The writers and actors behind the show are not the same now as they were 60 years ago, trying to impose canon set back then onto the modern show or vice versa is stupid.
If anyone dares to make a joke about how there was "no ending", I will personally go back into your timestream and turn all of your victories into defeats, Great Intelligence-style
I'm the same age as Peter Capaldi and remember William Hartnell very much. Peter has managed to take us all back to the origins of DR WHO and for that-I'm very pleased. Keep up the excellent work Me Capaldi.
There's a difference between changing past events, as the Doctor stresses to Barbara here, and nudging the future so one bad potential outcome doesn't happen. This is perhaps demonstrated most clearly in Pyramids of Mars, when the Doctor shows Sarah Jane what will become of Earth if they were to simply leave, in the belief that, as Sarah says "Sutekh didn't destroy the world. We know that"
You do know that is impossible right? A lot of the episodes are lost. You could read the books or get the audio tapes, but you can't watch every episode.
It's true, a lot of episodes were lost. There are some re-constructed episodes out there to help along the way. The hardest part is getting through all of the first Doctor's adventures. Since they lasted for years, before the change to the second.
An incredible throwback. Probably one of the best Hartnell scenes along with the junkyard/Tardis scene, Susan's goodbye in Dalek Invasion of Earth, confronting the War Machine etc! Returning many moons later to time stamp 1:19 (BELIEVE ME I KNOW!)

@@DarthAzabrush but he wasn't trying to change history then. At least not how I heard it. Granted I only have the audio CDs of that episode but he was in no way purposely trying to change history.
@@TheWeepingDalek He was just trying to nudge it enough to disentangle himself from it. It resulted in him losing the TARDIS in a Backgammon game. Time really loves mocking her Champion.
I love how anti-RTDers are bringing up the Waters of Mars. The title of this video is exactly what that episode had been about! The Doctor did change a few people's lives, but it was still portrayed as the wrong choice to make and still doesn't equate to the ridiculous amount of history re-writes that were done in more recent years.
Orlando Soto Leyton I think there was an episode where he stated it could be fine as long as there was no deliberate intention to change a particular cause of events.
Very nice parallel to Forest of the Dead that shows how much the Doctor has developed. Ten: (To River) Time can be rewritten! River: Not those times. Not one line. Don't you dare.
And some people seem to question the current Doctor. He is much more like this, first Doctor, than anybody. He's a pragmatist who knows the situation, picks his battles and doesn't sugar coat the bad news.
Because 1. The Hartnell Doctor actually used his brain instead of thinking he was above everyone's rules and 2. He had companions to keep him grounded.
I absolotley love the Aztecs. Probably one of if not my favourite historical and best hartnell story. Heard daleks master plan is amazing but I have listened to it yet.
The doctor is the doctor through and through. From his young mind that looked old, to a long scarf to drag the ground, a recorder to play, a multi-colored rainbow, or a cool bow-tie. From the brightest smiles, rainy days, and lonely nights. No matter how he looks or how he has changed as he has become more and more human he still is the doctor and still tries to do the best for us humans though we do seem to screw everything up terribly at times.
This is one of my favourite 1st Doctor stories! When people say the old show is dull and slow, show them this episode and they'll be hooked! (John Ringham alone makes it worth watching)
And the movie with the great Peter Cushing, he was just an old man who invented time travel, and built his tardis, No time lord, no gallifrey, didn't steal the Tardis,
I saw this episode about 2 months ago. I'm watching every found william hartnell episode and so far I'm on _The Death of Doctor Who_ - Episode 4 of _The Chase_
Loving these Doctor who #throwbackthursdays , it really gives you an insight on the older episodes without having to rematch the entire series for the 5th time (although I would ^_^)
It annoys me when people remember Hartnell only as a grumpy old man who fluffed his lines. His acting in this serial especially is really good - the scene the next episode is better when he berates Barbara but then softens and comforts her.
I really ought to get more DVDs with the original Doctor Who cast. William Hartnell as the Doctor, Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman, Jacqueline Hill as Barbara Wright and William Russell as Ian Chesterton.
I was helping my Mother catch up on Doctor Who. :) She saw the episode where Clara goes through the time lines. It was her first time seeing the first Doctor (That she remembers) she thought he looked really awesome. :) Also thought it was amazing seeing him as an older man. :)
It would be funny if the 1st Doctor had this kind of discussion with the 11th. Well, actually, even the 1st Doctor changed his personal future in "The Space Museum".
He just saved his own life there, but he's against changes in world history, like manipulating an entire culture to change their life style as Barbara tried.
"If I can start the destruction of everything evil here, then everything that is good will survive when Cortez lands." You don't know that for certain, Barbara! They are not ready for that type of knowledge. For all you know, it could cause the very destruction of the people who you want to help.
before this is the first doctor... who turn into the 2nd who turns into the third and so on if it was the future todays doctor would not know of him but he does know about him
You won't be saying that when the Time Lords send you back in time to destroy the Daleks before their creation, or when you use a paradox to save a collapsing universe, Doctor.
Barbara plan to convince the Aztecs to stop sacrifices wasn't going to work at all. The main reason the Aztecs believed in sacrifices because they believed that the stars and moon are decapitated heads of Gods that wanted to destroy the world and there current 5th Sun God Huitzilopochtli needed blood in order to protect the world from the stars and moon. The Aztecs also believe that the Earth landmass was created by the remains of a monster called Cipactli that was still alive and needed to be feed with sacrifices. And the reason Huitzilopochtli is the 5th Sun God is that the Aztecs believed the world has ended 4 times and currently exist in a 5th world with 4 different Aztec Gods being Sun Gods to the prior worlds.
He didn't really rewrite time, did he though? To history and to the Doctors 9-10, Gallifrey fell. You can rewrite the history books but the Doctor didn't truly change anything, he simply fooled everyone into believing Gallifrey fell in the last great time war. That was the point of the episode: demonstrating that Gallifrey never actually fell. Notice how the painting was titled "Gallifrey Falls/No More" even before the Doctor did anything about it? It was always called "Gallifrey Falls No More."
Actully LostSeeker; Moffat is not in controll of the "real" DR WHO story. It was established about 1968-70 when they realised this series would be longlived. Originally DR WHO was about the time from 100.000BC to 100.000AD and what happend during that time leading up to 100.000AD (Skaro and Daleks). But as BBC realised this would become a Loooong series they changed the focus of the series to become Dr Who? Who is he? Where is he from? Where did he come from? Etc. And here is where the 2005 "reboot" is all about. Most if not all have missed this fact. 2005 series 1 and 2 is about how the Doctor was born. Most, like 99.9% of every watcher of this show have missed this fact. (In short short explanation) Episode Fathers Day series 1 is about how it became possible for the Doctor to become born. Rise of the Cybermen/Doomsday (and other series 2 episodes concerning whats known as the Alternate Universe) made it possible for our Doctors parents to meet. The alternate Earth is not an alternate Universe as most think, it is the Previous "Lost" Universe to "our" Universe. And as this is a short short explination: "Alternate Earth" was with time overrun by the Cybermen (not seen on TV yet, but infered thru events ill tell you soon about) Before that happend a impossible boy was born by parents from 2 diffrent Universes. Jackie Tyler and Alternate Earth Pete. (source: Journey End; Bad Wolf Bay scene) A half human boy by the name Tony Tyler. The crack in time for the timeline that began in the previous Universe (not at big bang as ill explain shortly) was Closed off in end of Doomsday thus officially ending the classic Dr Who. And the Bride/Donna Noble was in the New timeline (not yet seen created at this point in time at end of series 2) We got to see the creation of the new timeline during series 3 in a really sneaky way. 1 min into episode "Utopia" Jack Harkness splinted of a new timeline, by both catching AND missing the TARDIS at the same time, From that point on the "original timeline" continued on as it was established: But: The New timeline inwich the 10th was in from there on changed from there on during rest of series 3-4. And its now we get to see Weeping angels for the first time, River Song and others. Events of the rest of the 3-4 series leads so Donna is being drawn to the TARDIS the first time TARDIS is inside the new timeline. As this is a short short; As 10th is about to "die" he does what everyone would do in his position. He goes to see his love: but she is NOT inside the new timeline so he (disengade the saftey features; not seen, but infered by later episodes) and travels to January 1st 2005 inside the original timeline. (In othr words to the time before the crack in time is sealed inside the original timeline) Amy, Amy. Yes Amy seen during series 5 is in the original timeline (prior to the events of Doomsday in series 2) and se lives her live next to the crack in time. Here the tricky part enters: Amy Pond remembers Amy Ponds life from the "new" timeline thru the crack in time and vice versa. And Amy Pond in the original timeline remembers River Song from Amy Pond memeories in the new timeline, and then Rory dies inside the original timeline and we get to see a Lonly Amy wave back at the TARDIS in the year 2020. And that acctully is where Amy Pond ends up, in England 2020. Amy Williams (in the new timeline) on the other hand remembers Rory from the memeories of Amy Pond and thus bring him back to life by events seen in Pandorica opens. (Rory didnt exist in the new timeline when it was created as he died/was erased out from the original timeline before the events in Doomsday.) Then she does the same thing again when the Doctor dies in Big Bang; But she does not remeber the Doctor from her memories of him , but thru the memory of Amy Ponds memories of the Doctor. And now to the Icing of the cake: Amy Williams realises she have memories from both her lives and tells the doctor this, who for whole 1minute endulge her by speaking the truth: Before distracting her from the truth. The Above is seen in minisode (Good Night") if i remember correctly 1.30 and forward for 1min. = series 6 is back in the new timeline, and as soon Amy is gone in series 7 part 2 we get to see only 1 timevortex in the opening credits. (yes we have been seeing 2 timevortexes/timelines since series 1 (9th doctor) in the opening credits And this leads us to the 12th (that is both still the Doctor but yet at the same time hes not the Doctor and he is the Curator, Ill explain this shortly) With the 12th the 2 clocks/timevortexes are back in the opening credits; But before i dig deeper into why im just gonna point out what most have missed: Clara Oswald is the Doctor since she answerd the impossible question and has since then been the one saving everyone (with support of the 12th that in a way is still the doctor but yet not) AS: He became the Curator during the christmas special, over the survivors from Earth (the Dalek-Human war in the 51th centry inside the new timeline) Fact check the Torchwood episode Adam occourd inside the original timeline and the 51th centry invasion there was mostl ikly not done by the Daleks but the Cybermen due to what i expalined above with Jack Harkness changing the new timeline "destiny") I suspect series 8 and mayby series 9?/10? is a leadup to the Dalek-Human war (in other words the 12ths entire run) and here is where I strongly suspect Peter Jacksson enters the picture and his Dalek "episode" I suspect strongly that our Doctor will be forced to sacrifice the TARDIS sentient parts to save some earthlings during the Dalek-Human war, and this will be his last act as the Doctor. and the TARDIS will end up on Trenzalore as seen in Christmas special as a dark tower in a dead zone. And here is the Twist. just like Rassilon once did the same thing during the previous Universe when the alternate Earth fell to the Cybermen and he and his companion took some of the survivors and his dying timemachine and ended up as a dark tower in a dead zone on Gallifrey. And Rassilons companion was at that time a certain young Tony Tyler. and we have during series 7-8 been seeing his upbrining thru the eyes of Clara as she is the same thing as Tony Tyler; A child by parents from 2 diffrent universes. And to show you how and why 2 exapmples; 1st when Claras mother saves Claras father, (go listen for the hidden voice when she saves him, in Rings of Akahaten, if you dont hear it replay the scene until you hear it.) and finally as this is the short short version; Go back to Fathers day Episode and (ofc youll notice the similarities) they are about the same time in 2 diffrent timelines (In the new timeline CLaras Mother and Clara have filled the empty spots of Jackie and Rose Tyler as they wer not present in the new timeline when it was created.) And what i want you to go look for is in the scene just before Pete Tyler runs out into the street infront of the car. Pete and Rose Tylers last talk inside the church when they sit in the benches; the scene contains something astonding. (its hidden in plain sight) If you cant see it just reply that you want a hint aobut what its your supposed to be looking for. Remember its hidden in plain sight. Have fun =) And One cant rewrite history but one can change the details, but the end result is/must always be the same. And here is the clue i promised earlier about the infered disengaged saftey feature as it is in "latest" episode of Dr WHO "Listen" made it possible for Clara to take the TARDIS back to the original timeline to meet the young doctor on Gallifrey, (Yes; it was still off when she took off with the TARDIS) = why there is 2 clocks "again" in the opening credits.
***** what DR WHO is all about: 2 major timelines (the ones in the opening credits since 9th doctor) And the previous universe (most know this as the Alternate universe) "our" universe And the next universe (where Claras mother is from(infered by Jackie Tyler ended up in the previous universe and leavin a spot open in the new timeline that needed to be filled.)
***** Acctully it does if you realise certain things. Go watch End of time part 1 and the talk 10th has with the Ood in the Snow. That is 1 of MANY indications there is more then 1 acctive timeline at work. Anohter quick exmple is why ppl cant remeber the Battle of Canary Warf, during later part of series 3 and 4th.
***** If you want i can guide you thru it step by step . Step 1 being; 7 doc qoute: "A rope with 1 end;" = A timeline starting in 1 universe and ending another. (= a rope with 1 end) Step 2 The Doctor fought the Ragnarrookians before time it self. = Our Doctor was born in another Universe. step 3 A never ending story. Each new universe is born out from a previous Universe created timeline, In this case the new timeline was created in Utopia episode, And we saw the same moment but in the previous universe from a diffrent angle in Rise of the Cybermen where the 1963 original timeline was created. (= why the TARDIS ended up just there) (infered by episode Utopia- under the rift in Alternate earth Cardiff the original 1963 timeline was created there, Same events diffrent details, but always with the same end result and the one creating the 1963 timeline was not Jack HArkness, but instead; it was done by the one we know as The Face of Boe.
***** acctully i might be the only one understanding what Dr Who is about. Take the time to check this out. I can guide you thru it step by step. And youll soon see how well it fits with everyhitng in Dr Who. Even the 4th and 7th docs most jibberish comments start make sense with this.

That ended well, didn't it?
Waters of Mars was the exception that proved the rule.
Because 1. The Hartnell Doctor actually used his brain instead of thinking he was above everyone's rules and 2. He had companions to keep him grounded.
I liked this scene. Barbara's personality really shows well in this
"You can't rewrite history!"
Steven Moffat: *laughs in Ralph Wiggum* I'm contradicting
I absolotley love the Aztecs. Probably one of if not my favourite historical and best hartnell story. Heard daleks master plan is amazing but I have listened to it yet.
The doctor is the doctor through and through. From his young mind that looked old, to a long scarf to drag the ground, a recorder to play, a multi-colored rainbow, or a cool bow-tie. From the brightest smiles, rainy days, and lonely nights. No matter how he looks or how he has changed as he has become more and more human he still is the doctor and still tries to do the best for us humans though we do seem to screw everything up terribly at times.
This is one of my favourite 1st Doctor stories! When people say the old show is dull and slow, show them this episode and they'll be hooked! (John Ringham alone makes it worth watching)
The woman has a very aztec-like haircut.
How can two people not like this. Obviously they must be fans of Love and Monsters
When William Hartnell was The Doctor he just told everyone straight. There was no mucking about with him.
1:04 How most classic fans reacted to Twice Upon a Time.
And the movie with the great Peter Cushing, he was just an old man who invented time travel, and built his tardis, No time lord, no gallifrey, didn't steal the Tardis,
Then along came Chibnall and The Timeless children with his pointless retcon.
I saw this episode about 2 months ago. I'm watching every found william hartnell episode and so far I'm on _The Death of Doctor Who_ - Episode 4 of _The Chase_
Loving these Doctor who #throwbackthursdays , it really gives you an insight on the older episodes without having to rematch the entire series for the 5th time (although I would ^_^)
Barbara is just amazing
It annoys me when people remember Hartnell only as a grumpy old man who fluffed his lines.
His acting in this serial especially is really good - the scene the next episode is better when he berates Barbara but then softens and comforts her.
"You can't rewrite history!"
2000 years later...
"YOLO"
"I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I swear."
One: But you can't rewrite history! Not one line.
Ten: Time can be rewritten.
River: Not those times. Not one line. Don't you dare.
Hartnell's performance there was fantastic. He really kills it there (no pun intended).
Going to watch The Aztecs this week! :D I'm watching in order and Keys if Marinus was some of the best episodes I've ever seen :D
wait and see daleks invasion of earth
This was brilliant Doctor Who!
Did you hear that, Moffat? No changing history!
The last Doctor Who story that had no aliens,monsters or mad scientists in it was Black Orchid,a 2-part story from Peter Davison‘s era.
This is my favorite scene from The Aztecs
Fantastic exchange between Barbara and the doctor
This makes me want to watch that episode so bad :D
SomeKindaSpy Belive it or not I am one of the few people I know who doesn't have Netflix... :D
TheTonie4
Ooooh... Do you have a Hulu account?
TheTonie4
Whatever.
By the way, it's "legit". Not "ligit".
Yeah I know. :)
Wow this is a awesome scene and it one of the many things that still makes doctor who what it is today
When you cheated in history test:"YOU CAN'T REWRITEN HISTORY NOT ONE LINE."
HE KNOWS
This is my favourite Hartnell story and the best historical. He and Barbara were excellent together
to a time lord who has been to the end of the universe, everything he does is changing history, not just the things he does before 1963
One of my favorite and first experiences with the First Doctor.
I really ought to get more DVDs with the original Doctor Who cast. William Hartnell as the Doctor, Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman, Jacqueline Hill as Barbara Wright and William Russell as Ian Chesterton.
Early DW is still the Best in my opinion.
Glad to see that it's Still going strong in 2023.
Such a classic moment! Such revolutionary stories never usually on TV.(in the 60s anyway) :)
First Doctor a Legend :)
I was helping my Mother catch up on Doctor Who. :) She saw the episode where Clara goes through the time lines. It was her first time seeing the first Doctor (That she remembers) she thought he looked really awesome. :) Also thought it was amazing seeing him as an older man. :)
Gotta love how the show basically re-writes history countless times after this.
You can't rewrite history! Unless the script and plot demands it..
Aw. He's grown up so much since then.
It's fun because messing with time is the only thing Doctor does.
+OjvavojAnebWTFOMGLOL Thing is that he knows what he's doing. Most of the time.
Inadvertently getting involved with history is one thing. Actively trying to rewrite it is another
"barbara what your doing is utterly impossible!!!! "change the wording ,,barbara to moffat lol
Dang this was on the horror channel a while back. Love this episode
It would be funny if the 1st Doctor had this kind of discussion with the 11th. Well, actually, even the 1st Doctor changed his personal future in "The Space Museum".
He just saved his own life there, but he's against changes in world history, like manipulating an entire culture to change their life style as Barbara tried.
"If I can start the destruction of everything evil here, then everything that is good will survive when Cortez lands."
You don't know that for certain, Barbara! They are not ready for that type of knowledge. For all you know, it could cause the very destruction of the people who you want to help.
Except all those other times he has changed it. Still love it tho.
This was before that
Or after, time travel...
before this is the first doctor...
who turn into the 2nd
who turns into the third and so on
if it was the future todays doctor would not know of him but he does know about him
Mike Dannemiller whut?
no MikePhantom the question is
Who?
Smashcut of every time the Doctor royally shafted history and causality throughout the series
Over 50 years of Doctor Who history and canon thrown in the garbage. William Hartnell will always be the first (original incarnation) of the Doctors
love how the subscribe scene has low quality becuase of the serial quality, what what was i talking about again?
You won't be saying that when the Time Lords send you back in time to destroy the Daleks before their creation, or when you use a paradox to save a collapsing universe, Doctor.
How funny he would take that back MUCH later...
Tell RTD this, this is the one rule that new who broke
I'd like to see Ace versus the daleks at Coalhill school from Remembrance of the Daleks. #Throwbackthursday
Well unfortunately Moffat decided he is god, and now time can be re written.
I don't know why but I think the silence is getting closer...
so weird, I literally watched this episode yesterday! creepy!
Time Lords egging the Doctor on to destroy the larval Daleks be like.
Except in cases of extreme wibbly wobbly timey wimey crises.
".....Not Barbara......Yetaxa".
Barbara should've listened to The Doctor. By trying to stop the sacrifice she could've put him,Ian,Susan & herself in danger for doing that.
These episodes are great! Why BBC uploaded a pre-mastering version?
"Believe me, I know"
So he's tried to do it before?
Dear Everyone in this comment section-
the FIRST Doctor said this. Shut up.
believe him, he knows!
Tell that to Chris Chibnall. #Hartnell1st
10 incarnations later...
Barbara plan to convince the Aztecs to stop sacrifices wasn't going to work at all. The main reason the Aztecs believed in sacrifices because they believed that the stars and moon are decapitated heads of Gods that wanted to destroy the world and there current 5th Sun God Huitzilopochtli needed blood in order to protect the world from the stars and moon. The Aztecs also believe that the Earth landmass was created by the remains of a monster called Cipactli that was still alive and needed to be feed with sacrifices. And the reason Huitzilopochtli is the 5th Sun God is that the Aztecs believed the world has ended 4 times and currently exist in a 5th world with 4 different Aztec Gods being Sun Gods to the prior worlds.
I saw this a couple months before the 50th. My, how naive the Doctor could be at that young age. ;D
He didn't really rewrite time, did he though? To history and to the Doctors 9-10, Gallifrey fell. You can rewrite the history books but the Doctor didn't truly change anything, he simply fooled everyone into believing Gallifrey fell in the last great time war. That was the point of the episode: demonstrating that Gallifrey never actually fell. Notice how the painting was titled "Gallifrey Falls/No More" even before the Doctor did anything about it? It was always called "Gallifrey Falls No More."
HE KNOWS!!!
The last sentence would be so much more serious if we were past the time war...
Actully LostSeeker;
Moffat is not in controll of the "real" DR WHO story. It was established about 1968-70 when they realised this series would be longlived.
Originally DR WHO was about the time from 100.000BC to 100.000AD and what happend during that time leading up to 100.000AD (Skaro and Daleks).
But as BBC realised this would become a Loooong series they changed the focus of the series to become Dr Who? Who is he? Where is he from? Where did he come from? Etc.
And here is where the 2005 "reboot" is all about. Most if not all have missed this fact.
2005 series 1 and 2 is about how the Doctor was born.
Most, like 99.9% of every watcher of this show have missed this fact.
(In short short explanation)
Episode Fathers Day series 1 is about how it became possible for the Doctor to become born.
Rise of the Cybermen/Doomsday (and other series 2 episodes concerning whats known as the Alternate Universe) made it possible for our Doctors parents to meet.
The alternate Earth is not an alternate Universe as most think, it is the Previous "Lost" Universe to "our" Universe.
And as this is a short short explination:
"Alternate Earth" was with time overrun by the Cybermen (not seen on TV yet, but infered thru events ill tell you soon about)
Before that happend a impossible boy was born by parents from 2 diffrent Universes. Jackie Tyler and Alternate Earth Pete. (source: Journey End; Bad Wolf Bay scene) A half human boy by the name Tony Tyler.
The crack in time for the timeline that began in the previous Universe (not at big bang as ill explain shortly) was Closed off in end of Doomsday thus officially ending the classic Dr Who.
And the Bride/Donna Noble was in the New timeline (not yet seen created at this point in time at end of series 2)
We got to see the creation of the new timeline during series 3 in a really sneaky way.
1 min into episode "Utopia" Jack Harkness splinted of a new timeline, by both catching AND missing the TARDIS at the same time,
From that point on the "original timeline" continued on as it was established:
But:
The New timeline inwich the 10th was in from there on changed from there on during rest of series 3-4. And its now we get to see Weeping angels for the first time, River Song and others.
Events of the rest of the 3-4 series leads so Donna is being drawn to the TARDIS the first time TARDIS is inside the new timeline.
As this is a short short;
As 10th is about to "die" he does what everyone would do in his position.
He goes to see his love:
but she is NOT inside the new timeline so he (disengade the saftey features; not seen, but infered by later episodes) and travels to January 1st 2005 inside the original timeline. (In othr words to the time before the crack in time is sealed inside the original timeline)
Amy, Amy. Yes Amy seen during series 5 is in the original timeline (prior to the events of Doomsday in series 2) and se lives her live next to the crack in time.
Here the tricky part enters:
Amy Pond remembers Amy Ponds life from the "new" timeline thru the crack in time and vice versa.
And Amy Pond in the original timeline remembers River Song from Amy Pond memeories in the new timeline, and then Rory dies inside the original timeline and we get to see a Lonly Amy wave back at the TARDIS in the year 2020.
And that acctully is where Amy Pond ends up, in England 2020.
Amy Williams (in the new timeline) on the other hand remembers Rory from the memeories of Amy Pond and thus bring him back to life by events seen in Pandorica opens. (Rory didnt exist in the new timeline when it was created as he died/was erased out from the original timeline before the events in Doomsday.)
Then she does the same thing again when the Doctor dies in Big Bang; But she does not remeber the Doctor from her memories of him , but thru the memory of Amy Ponds memories of the Doctor.
And now to the Icing of the cake: Amy Williams realises she have memories from both her lives and tells the doctor this, who for whole 1minute endulge her by speaking the truth: Before distracting her from the truth.
The Above is seen in minisode (Good Night") if i remember correctly 1.30 and forward for 1min.
= series 6 is back in the new timeline, and as soon Amy is gone in series 7 part 2 we get to see only 1 timevortex in the opening credits. (yes we have been seeing 2 timevortexes/timelines since series 1 (9th doctor) in the opening credits
And this leads us to the 12th (that is both still the Doctor but yet at the same time hes not the Doctor and he is the Curator, Ill explain this shortly)
With the 12th the 2 clocks/timevortexes are back in the opening credits; But before i dig deeper into why im just gonna point out what most have missed:
Clara Oswald is the Doctor since she answerd the impossible question and has since then been the one saving everyone (with support of the 12th that in a way is still the doctor but yet not)
AS:
He became the Curator during the christmas special, over the survivors from Earth (the Dalek-Human war in the 51th centry inside the new timeline) Fact check the Torchwood episode Adam occourd inside the original timeline and the 51th centry invasion there was mostl ikly not done by the Daleks but the Cybermen due to what i expalined above with Jack Harkness changing the new timeline "destiny")
I suspect series 8 and mayby series 9?/10? is a leadup to the Dalek-Human war (in other words the 12ths entire run)
and here is where I strongly suspect Peter Jacksson enters the picture and his Dalek "episode"
I suspect strongly that our Doctor will be forced to sacrifice the TARDIS sentient parts to save some earthlings during the Dalek-Human war, and this will be his last act as the Doctor. and the TARDIS will end up on Trenzalore as seen in Christmas special as a dark tower in a dead zone.
And here is the Twist. just like Rassilon once did the same thing during the previous Universe when the alternate Earth fell to the Cybermen and he and his companion took some of the survivors and his dying timemachine and ended up as a dark tower in a dead zone on Gallifrey.
And Rassilons companion was at that time a certain young Tony Tyler.
and we have during series 7-8 been seeing his upbrining thru the eyes of Clara as she is the same thing as Tony Tyler;
A child by parents from 2 diffrent universes.
And to show you how and why 2 exapmples; 1st when Claras mother saves Claras father, (go listen for the hidden voice when she saves him, in Rings of Akahaten, if you dont hear it replay the scene until you hear it.)
and finally as this is the short short version; Go back to Fathers day Episode and (ofc youll notice the similarities) they are about the same time in 2 diffrent timelines (In the new timeline CLaras Mother and Clara have filled the empty spots of Jackie and Rose Tyler as they wer not present in the new timeline when it was created.)
And what i want you to go look for is in the scene just before Pete Tyler runs out into the street infront of the car.
Pete and Rose Tylers last talk inside the church when they sit in the benches; the scene contains something astonding. (its hidden in plain sight)
If you cant see it just reply that you want a hint aobut what its your supposed to be looking for.
Remember its hidden in plain sight.
Have fun =)
And One cant rewrite history but one can change the details, but the end result is/must always be the same.
And here is the clue i promised earlier about the infered disengaged saftey feature as it is in "latest" episode of Dr WHO "Listen" made it possible for Clara to take the TARDIS back to the original timeline to meet the young doctor on Gallifrey, (Yes; it was still off when she took off with the TARDIS) = why there is 2 clocks "again" in the opening credits.
***** what DR WHO is all about:
2 major timelines (the ones in the opening credits since 9th doctor)
And
the previous universe (most know this as the Alternate universe)
"our" universe
And the next universe (where Claras mother is from(infered by Jackie Tyler ended up in the previous universe and leavin a spot open in the new timeline that needed to be filled.)
***** best exampel of the 2 timelines is minisode Good Night, Where amy get shes remembering 2 diffrent lives.
***** Acctully it does if you realise certain things.
Go watch End of time part 1 and the talk 10th has with the Ood in the Snow.
That is 1 of MANY indications there is more then 1 acctive timeline at work.
Anohter quick exmple is why ppl cant remeber the Battle of Canary Warf, during later part of series 3 and 4th.
***** If you want i can guide you thru it step by step .
Step 1 being;
7 doc qoute:
"A rope with 1 end;"
= A timeline starting in 1 universe and ending another. (= a rope with 1 end)
Step 2
The Doctor fought the Ragnarrookians before time it self.
= Our Doctor was born in another Universe.
step 3
A never ending story.
Each new universe is born out from a previous Universe created timeline,
In this case the new timeline was created in Utopia episode,
And we saw the same moment but in the previous universe from a diffrent angle in Rise of the Cybermen where the 1963 original timeline was created. (= why the TARDIS ended up just there) (infered by episode Utopia- under the rift in Alternate earth Cardiff the original 1963 timeline was created there, Same events diffrent details, but always with the same end result and the one creating the 1963 timeline was not Jack HArkness, but instead; it was done by the one we know as The Face of Boe.
***** acctully i might be the only one understanding what Dr Who is about.
Take the time to check this out. I can guide you thru it step by step. And youll soon see how well it fits with everyhitng in Dr Who. Even the 4th and 7th docs most jibberish comments start make sense with this.
