While it is a little unfortunate that the doctor wasn’t able to defeat the threat by himself this early in his series while they’re trying to establish him this was a fantastic scene. The Maestro was holding their breath during the whole scenario and you can tell that because there’s no music in the background, music itself is terrified it might’ve been beaten by the madman in a box himself. And the line: “I’ve experienced everything and if that’s where music comes from” that was a really excellent line too I know it’s hard to go back to being hopeful about Doctor Who post Chibnal but this is a good start I’d say
That episode was fantastic. To think I had doubts about Ncuti, since he appeared too confident to me in his introduction episode... Also, Maestro reminds me a lot of Winnifred Sanderson. Probably the hair or the voice, idk...
Horrible writing and acting and effects. why isnt the doctor questioning how he can see transparent notes picking up and dragging people to their death? also. why would a god be confused about their gender? or care about pronouns? its even worse than the concept behind the space babies episode.
I don’t think Maestro cares about gender, that’s kind of the whole point of their costuming. They’re the embodiment of music, saying why wouldn’t they stick to one gender is the same as asking why would they? And the special effects in Dr. Who have never been stellar, but I find the current effects they’re trying to at least be creative. I’d wager the Doctor wouldn’t question it because he’s seen plenty of weirder stuff in the eons he’s lived lol. None of your points make sense. You’re hating to hate.
@@codyc2500 except the whole pronoun thing at the begiining, and the little boy calling her "daddy". its being intentionally confusing for no other reason than the showrunner wanting to stuff an agenda down your throat. also, the numbers dont lie. viewership has been dropping like a rock and its worse now than anything chibnall put out.
@@SizzleMoonSong not sure what you mean. its a mentally ill woman who thinks calling herself a "daddy" makes sense. i have an excellent grasp. as do the many other viewers who stopped watching this drek. but please, tell me first, what is a man or a woman? explain that to me. prove you understand this like you claim that you do?
It was like this early in the series. It's more of a return to roots kinds of direction. It's even stated in canon that Magic did exist, but the Timelords didn't approve of it, so they altered history so that the world obeyed physics. And with all the Timelords gone again, well... Magic makes a return to stage. Through the dark corners and fuzzy thinking and imagination of the living. At least that's my interpretation.
@@rockysandman5489 Not exactly, not to this extent. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but in The Shakespeare Code it’s explained that the witches are actually aliens and their word-based powers do get a somewhat flimsy sci-fi explanation. I’m pretty sure Ncuti’s era is the first time magic has just flatout been acknowledged as being magic.
"Oh I would never call myself that, Maestro" Some hundred stories before... Doctor: Your leader will be angry if you kill me... I'm a genius. Ice Warrior: Geeeeniusssss Not a criticism, though. Perfectly understandable that the Doc would change his perspective after everything he's been through.
I can see the potential…but…I can’t watch this anymore. Doctor Who, has become like SO many long running shows…BORING. I’m sorry, but I wanted Jodie Whittaker to be given another shot as the Doctor…it was WAY too soon for her period to end in my opinion. I’m fine with brining David Tennant back as well…but, I can’t watch this show anymore. Where’s the DRAMA…the CONFLICT…the SHEER POWER of the actor SPEAKING this absolute ICON’S name “I’m the DOCTOR.”
@@mathinho1237 lol. 1. Im biracial. 50% black and 50% white. Im saying no because of the drag queen not the doctor 😂😂😂😂😂😂 2. Im saying no because of the bad acting not because of who these people and not because of their sexuality or skin color. Kindly f off.
There's killing. Though the Doctor never directly does killing. Besides, it's a family show, did you expect a bloodbath like every Game Of Thrones series?
Maestro is a cosmic god who exists beyond space and time. They're immune to the laws of reality, so life and death have no real meaning to them. It's near impossible to destroy them, but even if you succeed they can restore themselves from nothing.
That's a hard pass. Only villain has any proper story and acting and they are playing single notes referring to them as chords? Expecting numbers for next ep to dip into the 1.7M or less LOL. This train wreck is twerking down the line.
Walk without rhythm and you wont attract the Maestro.
Dune moment fr
Pay attention to the background music here.
Nice reference. lol
"Do it" from Maestro always gets me 😂😂. So sassy.
Maestro lowkey reminds me of Titan from Megamind
0:02 Nah I say Maestro looks like mad hatter from Alice in Wonderland
They remind me more of a demented Miss Frizzle
Mx Jinkx Monsoon is one of a kind but she would appreciate the comparisons I'm sure.😂

Listen to the background music during this.
Also, going back a few years. Weren't there 9 chords in the Peter Howell theme?

If you're gay
@@jewferigno6920 And? You got a problem with gay people?
0:11 no, I sense I’ve made a mistake of some kind
I get that reference.
This is some low key stellar acting though

Bum notee
I SO thought he was gonna start playing “welcome to the black parade” 💀
Wasn't the right G note :P
@@kashiichan yeah but I was anticipating The G Note
Ncuti’s Doctor becomes fully the Doctor (to me, at least) at this moment: 0:27
1:56 Maestro: Bum Note!
Me: I'll give you a BUM note! 🍑💨
Why are people hating on this so much?
bigotry, for the most part
They have to find the notes that make up the chord
This is legit toO good
I legitimately thought I wouldn’t be able to take Ncuti seriously as the Doctor after sex education. But honestly, he kind of slaps.
When he hits everything right except the last note then it's Game Over
What are the notes / chords he is playing ?
Probably the chords one of the Beatles mentioned earlier in the episode
4th octave C major scale, with the 8th (bum) note being an Eb5.
Okay I've watched enough Doctor Who over the ages, but when did they start bringing in straight magic into a admittedly pretty soft scifi series.

after into the wild blue yonder
"The Shakespeare Code" from Series 3 with Tennant had straight up magic.

Read Christmas on a rational planet
The maestro has been nothing more than an annoyance
"Oh I would never call myself that, Maestro"
Some hundred stories before...
Doctor: Your leader will be angry if you kill me... I'm a genius.
Ice Warrior: Geeeeniusssss
Not a criticism, though. Perfectly understandable that the Doc would change his perspective after everything he's been through.
This was written by adults for adults
He is doctor 14 isnt he?
No he is the 15th doctor . The 14th doctor was David Tennant
@@asht1657 oh okay thankd
Respectfully, I think the Phantom from Mario + Rabbids makes a better music villain than the Maestro.
“ Bum no “
2:02 the singing sounds like trash at first, then it turns into an operatic melody
Jinkx was the right cast
Oh my god who the hell enjoyed this
Johnny Depp as the Madd Hatter was clearly used as inspiration for the Masetro here
Nah that was disgusting
Yes the hairdo is

God this show turned to shit
