He doesn't just quietly say "no". He reacts violently because he was scared he actually considered it, he wanted to destroy the source of temptation before it could get another chance to destroy him.
Perfectly said.
Mr finch: Doctor that didn’t do anything, you just broke the projector screen.
now imagine if this choice was given to him around the Time Lord Victorious period of his life...
So he breaks a monitor?
Nah, he was done copying it to memory for a mention in another two seasons, when the doctor will claim he used it to improve his sonic screwdriver and bam, it works on wood now.
You'd think the Skasis Paradigm would be important enough to warrant another appereance.

hey! im not an idiot
...that's awesome?
in my mind, i'm like 5.
"Everything has it's time, everything ends." It chokes me up when Elizabeth Sladen says that.
Dasharr rip :(
i love how they used it in such a compassionate way compared to the 9th doctors use of it
_Palpatine voice_ "Ironic."
@@ericbazinga Thats not irony. Irony would mean she wont die
@@JimmyBoy9878 i wonder uf Elisabeth sladen knew she was diying here
Best part of this scene is you can tell the Doctor is really, genuinely tempted. And that scares him more than anything.
Time lord Victorious shows up here, much before his debut, but is stopped by Sarah.
"If a Time Lord did that, he'd become a god... a vengeful god!"
Bad guy trying to get the Doctor to their side? Fairly common.
Bad guy trying to get the Doctor to be their *leader*? That's fairly unique, and one of the reasons why I like this episode. It really did look like Finch did want the Doctor's counsel in running the new universe, if nothing more than out of the pragmatic realization that the Doctor would be more capable in doing so than they would.
And Mr. Finch makes this offer with such class and sincerity, it almost makes you forget he and his ilk are child-eaters.
Underrated comment.
The fact that he lets Sarah Jane try to convince the Doctor against accepting his offer shows just how good of a villain he is. None of that screaming out anger because someone denies his intention, he understands the competition and allows the Doctor to make his own decision, even if it disappointed him.
I mean at the end of the day I think Mr Finch was self aware enough to realise The Doctor was more intelligent, more dangerous, and a better leader, than all of his people combined.
With The Doctor by his side, Mr Finch wouldn’t just be a God with no idea what to do with the powers he received. Instead he would be a God guided by the smartest man in the universe, giving him ultimate knowledge, power, and respect across the universe. Maybe not even just that, with the Time Lord’s vast knowledge and the ability to travel to parallel worlds, they could rule every single universe and have full control over the entire multiverse.
Wow, yeah BRILLIANT point! He valued the Doctor's wisdom and feared his wrath.
@@MLaak86 I don’t think it’s even fearing his wrath. Mr Finch knew that they had no plans for when they had ultimate power, they had no real idea what to use the power to do. The Doctor however, he did. Being led and guided by The Doctor would’ve given them purpose.
Elizabeth Sladen, an amazing actress and beloved by many fans.
R.I.P. 1946-2011
I didn't know she was dead. Now that speech in the video has a different meaning.
@@Kriae I know. I stuck her quote on my board to remind me of her. She was such an incredible character.
Omg is she really dead?! No. No way, that's not possible.
😢
@@tristansteinbomer3256 I am sorry that you discovered this. Search the Doctor who channel for the tribute made for Elizabeth Sladen on her 10th anniversary.
@@Mrchair-bk5ns poor Elizabeth. She could have done so much more.........
I kinda wanted that oil though.....
A villain should use it against the Doctor in the future. Maybe continuously pump themselves with it to become smart enough to control everything.
it seems only effective on humans and also seems to not change the way you are thinking, otherwise rose wouldnt always be so stupid.
EmptyMan000 They can call him Brane!
Dab rig bruh
Yeah, would have really helped with school.
Isn't it nuts how they put the Anti-Life Equation into Doctor Who for just one episode and then it's never mentioned again? 'Yeah there's this maths equation that lets you become god, no big deal'
Bit like the Reapers when time gets fucked.
Exactly and you'd expect that other people would also be trying to crack this code. But nope it's only these people.
only a few people know about it and those few people know that it's impossible to crack , if they know it's plausible then there would be a repeat of this episode
I’d love for it to comeback in the show perhaps a villain cracks the code it’d be a great plot for a series
@@iNathanLite Maybe the reapers fell into the crack in series 5?
I love Ten but he had me worried on a couple of occasions. You can see here that he was actually tempted by the offer made to him. He actually considers using the souls of hundreds of children to bring back his own planet. At the end of 'The Waters of Mars' his 'Time lord Victorious' speech is terrifying. He was so close to embracing power and losing whatever good was in him. If it wasn't for his companions I wonder if he would have truly remained 'good'. For God's sake just look at 'Turn Left' where he died because he gave into hate and it killed him because there was no one there to save him from himself.
?
That's the sign of a great character. Any good character has to have flaws.
"He is not god or bad, he is not a hero, he is an Idiot.
With a box and a screw driver."
"He realy is a mad man with a box" through out of new who.
"He is fire and ice and rage, he burns in the center of the Sun and he can see the turn of the universe and he is wonderful."
this is fitting him perfectly.
I think that's why so many people loved David as the doctor he brought a new depth to the Doctor and it is both brilliant and terrifying. That's also why he needs companions to have someone to save him from himself.
That whole "using their souls" cobblers was really badly explained. It seemed that they're taking advantage of children's creativity. And...what? How does that damage them exactly? It's not as if you get somebody to do some work for you that you take anything away from them. If anything they seem to gain out of it since they get more intelligent.
Anthony Head would've been a brilliant Master. not much like his violent predecessors, but appealing to the Doctor and his companions, to embrace his evil ways. in this scene, in my head, I imagine he is the master and it gives off that wonderful feeling, Just saying :)
I agree. He reminded me a lot of Roger Delgado in this scene in particular. He would have been a much better master than John Simm I think.
Robert Lythgoe I think John Simm needed to be the Master, he played insanity perfectly and his character was violent, clever and mad, I think Anthony Head would've been a better Master than Michelle Gomez but maybe Anthony Head may make a future master. Unfortunately this is unlikely considering that Moffat hates anything that is dark or gloomy like the Master is meant to be. Unfortunately it looks like Moffat's Masters are going to be melodramatic and over the top instead of calculating like he is meant to be.
TheJoeLonian Gomez seemed like a proper villain and was likable at times, unlike Simm's portrayal of a very poor version of Heath Ledger's Joker....
Robert Lythgoe I suppose, but I liked John Simm as I guess I could be called a fanboy of John Simm and I really like his work. I guess Gomez's Master/Missy was overshadowed by Moffat's laughable cybermen.
TheJoeLonian I like John Simm as well. Just not as the master.
1:48 - In this conversation, we see, up close and personal, why the Doctor needs companions, to mentally drag him back from the abyss of power, like Sarah Jane does here.
I just commented that! 😃
Yea he almost went through with it since he still felt guilt about what he did during the time war
yepyep. the waters of mars is all about that
And unlike The Waters of Mars, where he didn't have a companion, and almost became another Master.
“Oh no, you’ve broken the monitor and totally stopped the calculations.”
Looking at how the monitors behind him all went dark as well, yes! Somehow...
Anthony Head is one of the best one off villains the show has had.
Really wish he could come back for another role, because he plays a villain extremely well
He's a brilliant actor, I'd love to see him more in general.
💯%
@@thatdognotthepuppy5809 watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer - he plays an amazing character in that (not quite as sinister, but still an amazing actor nonetheless
Have you seen him in Merlin, as Uther Pendragon? Arthur's father, loving, but a monster.
@@lyncat Yeah having a habit of murdering good people.
I love these moments, like when Tom Baker could have prevented the Daleks from ever existing... You can just tell how hard it is for him to not do it...
You mean when he refused to blow up the Dalek larvae? Meanwhile, Goblins Slayer is still up the baby goblin viscera from his mace.
I wonder how the War Doctor looked back at that moment…
There are a lot of great speeches by the Doctor but for me Sarah Jane's speech in this scene is one of the greatest of them all in Doctor Who. This is one of the fundamental reasons the Doctor needs Companions: to inject humanity into the situation and to draw the Doctor from the hubris his race is so prone to. And nobody does it like Sarah Jane.
beautiful put
Agreed, no companion has ever known the Doctor as well as Sarah Jane. She knew the right thing to remind him of his place in the universe.
Sara Jane briefly had her own series, but it was overload with Dr. Who cliches. Bad writing. The actress tried hard to work with it.
@@Mrpersonman0 Hubris is certainly known to mankind, but the Time Lords were on another level. They literally planned the end of time itself, whereupon they would rise as the only beings victorious. At the very least, the humans The Doctor brings with him are mostly the best of humanity.
I love the way that Finch’s head goes down when she starts speaking, he knew that he nearly had him but that once Sarah Jane said no the Doctor was going to do the right thing
You could feel The Doctor's temptation. Here's the key to fixing his greatest mistakes, bring back even dead companions or lost friends, and yet morality and common sense have to prevail over the wishes of one. And he takes that snake oil this guy's dangling in front of his face like a carrot and converts it into rage as he destroys that console. THAT'S a helluva "No."
and don't forget we have Liz Slaytons speech, everything ends, all things must die (where have we heard that before), and it reminds the doctor how much he sacrificed to be the doctor.
You see his thoughts, bring back Addrick, companions who died in Classic Who, end wars and so much more. Great to see a doctor who does not pass himself off as the greatest thing since the ipod, a doctor who even though can live for thousands of years remembers that he too has mortality and morals!
I think he should have taken the offer, why deny it? It could change the world into better, i see no point in not taking the offer. Morality and common sense have no meaning when you can save all the people in the universe.
that much power, no one should have, mortal or otherwise, in the end the power will consume you and you'll end up becoming a dictator over everything, "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain"
Snake oil, nice.
"Why is it, given that evil and selfishness is objectively better for survival, that good always prevails?"
"Maybe it's just a bloke in a box"
He is actually fighting in every war in existence. Just taking the long way round instead of using this paradigm, or an army of cybermen
1:56 This is why the Doctor chose humanity to be at his side. He wanted a companion to end the loneliness but chose humanity because of our... well our humanity.
Humanity also means war, hate, destruction. Everyone acts like "humanity" only means sweetness and goodness. You get the whole package.
Anthony Stewart Head is such a phenomenal actor. I've loved him in all of his roles.
“The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it’s a world or a relationship; everything has its time, and everything ENDS.”
Sarah Jane’s most memorable line of dialogue, the final quote, ‘everything ends’ it’s sad to think of especially now, in a little less than a year next April, it will mark 10 years since Elizabeth Sladen passed away, but her inspiration, memory and essence to all of use fans who will watch her for all time to come in Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures - she has left her mark upon the hearts and minds of all of us and all of who she was and still is to us fans now will never end.
The moment Sarah Jane mentioned the quote "Everything has it's time and everything ends" was actually his own quote from the 9th Doctor.
replace 'ends' with 'dies' - but then again, what's the use of a good quote if you can't change it?
@@williamd2989 nice 6th Doctor reference.
2:01 you can see here, he knew that he lost the doctor right there.
That moment when you realise Uther and Merlin have both been in Doctor Who.
And Gwen...
Michaela Mann
Which episode was she in?
The Girl in the fireplace... i believe
Michaela Mann
Oh yeah.
Henry Jones
Apparently Richard Wilson (Gaius) was in The Empty Child as well :)
"You've only turned the picture off, I'm afraid. I can still hear you."
god, Anthony Head is such a formidable actor...
Think of the changes that could be made if this power was used for good.
What, by someone like you?
No, someone like you.
This makes me think of Missy's offer with the army of Cybermen.
Sad thing is he was not evil nor wanted used for evil nor even for himself but for The Doctor (That is how much The Doctor is loved and Respected throughout Time & Space!) yes he was doing a bad thing but arguably for the right reasons!
BTW who would have thought that Giles would become a Big Bad?! ;P
@@DarthAwar she*
One could say that's why 12 rejected the offer on his own.
@@thehiddenninja3428 Oh fuck off.
The thing is, the Doctor considers it - and it scares him.
He held a power similiar to this before, on the last day of the Time War. The Moment, the last work of the ancients of Gallifrey. A weapon of ultimate mass destruction, capable of standing in judgement over whoever uses it.
The very source of all his pain, the moment when it was impossible to get it right - when he had to weigh the universe against his own people, with no way out. Forced to make an impossible choice.
To hold a power like the Moment again, to hold this power, it would have destroyed him. This regeneration doesn't even consider the War Doctor a Doctor, hence his number: 10. The tenth Doctor, but the eleventh face (and, later, the twelth face as well, hence why the 11th Doctor faced his final death, instead of the 13th).
"but that oil's on the chips, i've been eating them"
"whats 59 times 35"
"2065"
*head tilt*
"oh my god"
Billie and tennant were absolutely fantastic XD
"everything has its time, everything ends" nope not according to moffat
***** Well, technically, everything that died was dead but restored for thousands of years, in the matrix data slice, it's like an A.I, of the dead. But, before the matrix, it's the same old mystery of "what comes after death?". And if the matrices were destroyed after Death in Heaven, that mystery doesn't change, but either way, "what is dead stays dead" like the Doctor said, the matrix just adds more life in a digital form, until the "soul cloud" gets destroyed.
Robert Green I have no idea what you are talking about. You are all over the place.
If you are gonna start to be critical towards Moffat then i'd say you should start with the plot holes from the RTD era and then think twice before you begin to criticise a TV show that has been on for 51 years...
***** It is mainly because i feel people complain so much about Moffat like he is the worst person in the world when all he actually did was changing the tone of Doctor Who... And its WHENEVER i look in the comments on a doctor who video whether its Moffat era or RTD era then people ALWAYS complain about Moffat and says they want RTD back without ever considering the fact that RTD had at least as many plot holes as the others (Including Moffat) And honestly i think that if you are gonna complain about plot holes then start from the beginning rather than attacking moffat like he is the worst person in the world... People just seems to forget RTD or the other plot holes really quickly
MyBlog1 I do understand your point... And im glad you are not all black and white about it :) But still personally i dont think it was a good idea to erase gallifrey from the show as i think the time lords are very interesting and that i would love to see them on the new show now that we have higher budgets and so on :( But of course i still understand your point which is actually something i have never really thought of... But well when i realise something like that i usually just think to myself that for a show that has been running for 51 years there is bound to be some plotholes sooner or later... :/ Unfortunately...
SERIOUSLY UTHER, I THOUGHT THAT YOU HATED MAGIC AND UNKNOWN THINGS!
+Ellie Felton Giles didn't, though.
But does Giles turn into a giant bat thing and eat people? That would be cool if he did
Mushroom Head you must be prepared for anything with "Ripper" Giles! ;)
I love Merlin! And Doctor Who! And this episode! But I'm so TERRIBLY bad at faces thar I neve made the connection!
AKDCNDIKSJDKF!!!!
Only because he couldn't control it
Anthony Head is so good.
I love Anthony Head's performance in this episode.
2:15 Never try doing that in school, kids. Otherwise your teacher may turn into a giant bat and eat you.
"Everything has it's time, and everything ends." - Davies.
"He doesn't like endings." - Moffat
I honestly hated that reasoning for why The Doctor's eleventh incarnation was being sort of an ass near the end of that incarnation's life. They could've said, "The Doctor doesn't like endings, but that's good enough a reason to try."
@@DoctorWhoKage well it's not as bad as what they have done with 13. So apparently the doctor lives forever and forgets HER past.................
That's consistent. Just because Davies was willing to do definitive endings, doesn't mean the Doctor liked it.
The Doctor has been known to hate goodbyes.
The part about living forever reminds me of the doctors speech to the sisterhood of flames in 'The Brain of Morbius'
Fitting that Sara Jane pretty much repeats what he said in that story. Since she was with him there.
The Skasis Paradigm, A.K.A. the doctor who version of the Anti-Life Equation.
It's a shame they never brought the Skasis Paradigm up again. You'd think something on the same level of the Anti-Life Equation would be important enough to at least be mentioned in other episodes.
@@KrisFrost4359 What I was saying. ahahaha
@@KrisFrost4359 There's the Heavenly Paradigm in the War Master's audio series. Similar at least but a little different (it manipulates timelines to create the "best" outcome). Doctor Who has a TON of random God like and universe ending technology and equations that never gets mentioned again. Apparently any companion or the Doctor could absorb the heart of the TARDIS and become a literal God with Universal reach temporarily with the only consequence being a forced regeneration. In the Tom Baker Era the universe reached its entropy capacity and is being held up by some really old computers and satellites. Not to mention all the broken stuff in the audio dramas and the many MANY God level "forbidden weapons" the time lords made.
well it does sound kinda good when everyone are lambs to the cosmic slaughter dimension above dimension matrix above matrix, angels above angels what would you all do for infinite happiness, I've never seen a young buff modern guy with a harem and a yacht go on a school shooting have you all?
"Their lives are so fleeting. So many good-byes."
Oh, you have NO idea.
if he'd been offered this after doomsday................... i think he mightve taken the offer
I'd say yes if it meant I could bring Elizabeth Sladen back
She's dead
That's what I meant?
I can't believe it's been 5 years since we lost her. RIP Liz Sladen.
+Tom Langford It's Elisabeth with an S, not a z
But that's just it. She said no.
I cant believe I didn't notice it earlier. Ripper really embraced his dark side.
Giles, what are you doing? Giles, STAAAHHHP!
"i could stop war ... " a moment of silence ... well , let's not get carried away shall we ...
I like that Finch is actually sincere here, about The Doctor being the one to guide the use of the Paradigm.
This was what i loved about RTD era. Moffat had so little sincerity. Everything was trickery and plans with him
"Some things are worth getting your heart broken for.” - Sarah Jane Smith
Man, Tennant was both the Brightest and Darkest. On one hand he was ready to sacrifice hundreds of children but he would've used it to save EVERYONE. Such a duality.
Good old Sarah Jane here being the voice of reason. You’ll always be one of my favourites. And here she’s absolutely right - something isn’t beautiful because it lasts
its beauitful becouse it doesnt.
This is why I much prefer RTD's era to Moffat's. Episodes like this one taught us how to say goodbye, how to accept change/death and deal will our pain, how to move foward. The new series play more with the fairy tale theme, where nothing really ends, no one really dies... which is great, but far from the wisdom of the former series.
I still liked Moffat's first series. The next two series....were not that good.
Me too!
MinecraftPro15
And they are not the same. Just like it's all doctor who and yet there are still differences between "An unearthly child" and "Rose". Would you really say that "The gunfighters" is close to "Remembrance of the Daleks" in terms of the feel of the show? I wouldn't.
Kasparovwannabe Yep. The Gunfighters is massively underrated. Even better than Remembrance Of The Daleks IMO. And now I'll prepare to get murdered.
I don't think as good of an episode about moving on exists as Heaven Sent. Plus no one really died in RTD's Era either. Well, no one important. If we're talking about side characters they drop like flies in Moffat's and RTD'S Era, but you're kidding yourself if you pretend RTD didn't give fairy tale endings to the main cast. Rose never died she was trapped in another dimension, except when she was wasn't and got her own human version of 10 to live with. Martha just left and went on to a much better life as a leader and free Lancer against alien threats. Jack came back to life as an immortal. Simm's Master was revived with year old lipstick. Donna just needed a brain wipe (she ended up getting married and maturing even without her memories from the Doctor). Not a SINGLE companion has died (and stayed dead) since the classic Era. Let's ignore how the Daleks were genocided every series finale and brought back the next, Davros literally getting magically saved from the time war, the time lords themselves popping out of the time lock, the Master's paradox machine just resetting everything so there are 0 consequences.
Giles offers the Doctor the One Ring.
School Reunion was such an underrated episode I loved the stand off between the Doctor and Finch
Was Anthony Head's character actually wrong? His whole position was to try and gain a better control of the universe, but he was also willing to accept he wasn't the man to wield that power. He was willing to turn it over to someone wiser, for the greater good.
The Doctor ultimately defies him because Sarah Jane says that we need pain and loss in order to move forward; its an integral part of our lives. But think about that for a second. You could say the same for all advances in knowledge and technology. If pain and loss are so important, then the Doctor should fight to stop any development in medical research. Why try and prolong lives, when death is so important to our existence? Why ever try to push against the basics of existence, if they are so valuable?
I actually think the Doctor made the wrong choice here.
No. He's made the right choice. The very right choice. That power is far too much for *_anyone_* to control, even The Doctor himself. There's already one god. No need for another, because if so, then the Whole of Creation will be in greater jeopardy, and a war will ignite, a war far greater than any other, a war that will make the Last Time War itself seem like children's tantrum.
The war of two gods.
***** hate to point it out but there would only be one god if the Doctor was to become one. There is no god & Dr Who makes this obvious by showing the folly of those species who claim to know god a gods will. A sentient species never looks more primitive than when displaying their superstitions
Pepâ la Pow Doctor Who never stated clearly if there was a god or not. For all you know, there could be a god in the show, but we just don't see Him, 'cause they obviously don't wanna get into religious wars. Yes, the info we have about Jesus Christ and all that in the franchise point out differently to what we believe, but it doesn't say there isn't a god already.
We believe?
Pepâ la Pow Exactly.
*Edit*: By "We believe", I'm referring to the religious beliefs that exist in our world.
I loved this episode. I viewed it as Sarah Jane passing the torch...not so much to Rose, but to new who companions in general. Plus how can you go wrong with Anthony Stewart Head?
YOU'RE RIGHT IT'S A FAREWELL TO CLASSIC WHO
Wow, Rupert Giles really lost his mind after leaving Sunnydale :D
yeah he made a detour to Camelot and rejected all magic!
i knew he looked familiar, guess he had no more vampries to kill.
From helping a bat slayer, to being a bat in a human suit. Really been downgraded.
This is one of the best moments in Doctor Who; the headmaster is such an underrated villain.
Oh my God, I should have expected to see British actors in a British TV show, but I never expected to see King Uther here.
This scene is amazing, it shows the doctor for once considering the side of darkness. I'm so glad they didn't end it by showing him blatantly leading Finch on all the time.
This was my big disappointment with 12 and Davros talking. I so wanted Davros to die at the end, and for the Doctor to have to sit with that- that he didn’t kill his old enemy, he spoke with him as he died. to have it as a sincere last conversation and not the two out-gambiting each other. It’s a shame for all the last minute trickery reveals because the dialogue was so good and affecting
John Simm is one of the best, but Mr Finch would also be a brilliant Master.
He would’ve been great as the master for Matt Smith’s doctor
How close the Doctor was from giving into the idea of absolute power.
The opportunity to bring back his people and to wipe the Daleks clean from existence stood right before him…
It wouldn't even be murder, they simply would never have existed. Powerful temptation indeed.
I mean... he just broke the monitor. Calculation is still happening in the background.
You'd think so, but why do all the monitors behind the group go dark as well? 🤔
Sarah Jane is best companion hands DOWN. This scene shows why the doctor 🥼 needs a companion like her. She reminds him that everything has to end eventually.
The doctor was actually tempted in this scene.
The moment "Giles" walks in, wow, I fan-boy'd out there for a second...
"What's 59 x 35?"
"2065"
*Look of realization"
"Oh my god..."
Always the bit that makes me love this scene so much!
Gotta love how in videos, people think destroying a monitor destroys or even impacts, the computer itself. It doesn't... the monitor is just displaying things.
1:30 Didn't he basically spend a 2 parter and die to stop this?
doctor: what's 59 times 35?
Rose: 2,065
Doctor: ....
Rose: omg
too funnyXD
I'm not entirely sure but I think that was either a random number they chose or a reference to star trek since in star trek first contact happened in the year 2065. Maybe it's a reference, maybe it's not.
@@jameskellett2699 Nope. Its the actual awnser. Try it in a calculator
@@sonicfan3230 I know. I did it before writing this comment. It just seems a bit of a coincidence for me who is a fan of both shows that they chose that exact number. Again this is most likely not the case and it is just a coincidence.
How fascinating is it that there are "bad guys" who see the good of the doctor and say I do this evil in the hopes that your good can make things better. Such a fascinating concept
Hard to believe they never included this again like what this is basically the anti life equation the infinity stones the dragon balls of Doctor who😂
Sooo, they were close at solving a problem by just getting some children and let them eat some oil. A problem which solution would basically mean instant win.
You'd expect some other people try to crack it with other strategies, but nooo. Not the timelords, daleks, cybermen, weeping angels, sontarians, silence, great intelligence or the master. Matter of fact it has not been mentioned at all as of today.
theyre too busy conquering
Have to get kids. A child Dalek?! 🤣
standing tall the time lords reborn love that line
Anthony Stewart Head would have made a WONDERFUL Master.
2:20 That’s snarl you see the doctor give is not just physical exertion. It’s revulsion at the fact that he was almost taken in by the snake oil salesman his promises. He almost became what he has fight against all his life.
2:10
Me realizing the villain is Giles. I watched Doctor Who growing up and recently watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Great to rewatch this and see Anthony Stewart Head.
Goddamn this writing holds up well still & RIP Elizabeth Sladen what a legend. This episode truly had it all for nothing really world building, Micky, Sarah & K.9's reunion & this speech is just wonderful.
Happy Birthday Elisabeth Sladen!
;_;
biggest flex is that this series of doctor who was filmed in my high school
NO WAY
It's Giles!
You took the words right out of my mouth
Sorry about that!
Me too! I couldn't take "Mr Finch" seriously because all the time I was just expecting Buffy and Willow and the whole rest of the Scooby gang to pop up XD
If I had a nickel for every time the doctor was given the opportunity to control insane amounts of power by his enemy, i’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
It's a shame Anthony Head was wasted on this one episode. He would have made such a good long term villain.
One thing I like about these villains is that they took a crack at bringing the doctor on board with their plan
its like deciding to play with cheats on or no cheats in a video game.
A multiplayer game.
One full of hackers and griefers ruining it for everyone else.
If you got access to the source code and could change it to stop them, would you do it?
@@theregalproletariat thats the thing isnt it power like that doesn't belong to one single life form mortal or time traveling god in a little blue box.
Anthony Head was the best Villian in this episode
Reminds me of series 7 crimson horror. Chairs really are useful!
Every time I watch that episode, I'm struck by the thought that The Doctor could have solved the Skasis Paradigm long ago, making the universe now either one of his design already, All speculation on my part of course, but it would make a BIG secret.
Master class in temptation there.
For a second there, just before Sarah talks the Doctor out of it, I believe we saw a glimpse of the Time Lord Victorious.
over and over, the doctor has been so tempted. and once again, a human saves him. ian, sarah jane, donna... they're not just his companions, they're his soul.
I loved series 2! My favourite Doctor and my favourite companion! Rose+10th=
Damn, the Doctor really yeeted that chair across the room. Lmao
Back when doctor who had the balls to have a 13 year old schoolgirl being eaten alive by a bat-alien thing in the first 2 minutes. :)
"I can't believe it's really you?" :::horrified screaming:::: "Ok, now I can!" I hadn't even seen any of the old show yet and that line just clicked.
getting these nostalgic flashbacks is cool, but I'd like to see some from 1963 series. considering those I haven't seen.
How in the world is this the only episode involving the Skasis Paradigm.God Maker? It has so much potential.
Wasn't there a Buffy episode somewhere involving food in the cafeteria? There was definitely one where the cafeteria lady wanted to kill people... Idk but I definitely see some connections between Buffy and rtd doctor who so it's awesome that they got Anthony head on
Yea Xander witnessed it and then she tried to kill him with Buffy at the last second intervening.
It's cool how you can see SJ is a more experienced part of the universe. Like she knows what's up and Rose is sort of just confused.
I loved this episode, and oh, can you hear his voice shake at the beginning when he's describing the Skasis Paradigm? I bet he thought about it before, I bet the Time Lords know that it's a possibility because they tried, at least some of them must have, but they were too rigid in their way of thinking to do it... They, and the Doctor, seem to have tried absolutely everything during the War, I bet this was considered too and it didn't work for them. And now he's close...
Two thing I don't get: 1. why don't Krillitanes use their oil more often to try this? 2. Why would breaking one giant monitor shut down all the whole computer system? That was just a monitor... Sloppy writing like this makes me annoyed, and sadly it's present in all eras of Doctor Who.
It didn't shut down the whole system, that was just anger.
The monitor breaking didn’t do that, it was to symbolize him breaking the temptation
Liz Sladen and Anthony Head are incredible here
Happy Birthday Elisabeth Sladen :( Love this scene & episode so much!
It’s moments like this that prove why the Doctor always needs his companions. They keep him grounded and stop him from giving into temptation. Even when Finch tries to convince Sarah that she could be with the Doctor forever and never age, she knows what he’s doing is wrong and gets through to Ten.
Wait, the doctor was actually tempted by the offer?
I thought he was gonna act like that, and then do a speech completely denying his offer
He rly did listen to that guy? Oh dang
Well, glad his companions are there for him to help him realize the good, to not be consumed by hate
these school computers decoding reality... my school computers froze when you tried to open more than 1 microsoft word.
So sad Uthur, merlin and lady Vivien are in doctor who ................Where's Morgana!!
Grace Evans Gwen is also in Doctor Who (a courtier in The Girl in the Fireplace) .
The Dragon is as well, as the War Doctor.
Queen Annis is in the Waters of Mars.
Gaius is in the Empty Child/The Doctor Dances.
Percival is in the Eleventh Hour
THE. GREATEST. SARAH. JANE. MOMENT. EVER! Lets weep at her passing all over again.
id just love for the paradigm to return in the new episodes
I do too. I think it has far too much potential to be thrown away like this, into one episode only.
Orlando Soto Leyton No, that's too much. The Doctor can't 'use' the *Skasis Paradigm*, because you can only control it when you unlock it, and when you do unlock it, you become a god. Besides, The Doctor knows that it's very dangerous to wield such powers.
Orlando Soto Leyton Doesn't change a thing. This is godhood we're talking about.
+Diablos True, but you can always use it as a storyline for The Master
+Brutally Honest
The Master trying to unlock it? Plausible.
All of these ideas of the Doctor almost losing it has given me an idea.
What about a story where the Doctor thinks he's going up against someone like the Master, but we don't actually see them through the episode. Then near the end we're shown that it's a future Doctor trying to stop their past self from making some horrible mistake?
Or really just any story where the Doctor, for some reason, ends up fighting himself (as in same incarnation, no Valeyard nonsense)? There's probably a better way of doing it than how I described above.
