Doctor Who 9x03
OOH ghosts!! And we need to get excited because the Doctor is excited! I do love a good creepy ghost story, and it's made even better with the Doctor to protect us.
Some great lines/moments in this episode. The Doctor taking charge, Clara being so brave, the cue cards... Come on 😅 he certainly needs a little help from his friend from time to time!
And another two part episode? We are being spoiled!

A solid two parter this. You've seen four Matt Smith episodes by the writer, Toby Whitehouse. He was also the creator and lead writer of an excellent show with a Buffy/New Who feel called Being Human. It would totally be on your to-watch list if you weren't inundated with great requests. The pitch? A vampire, a werewolf and a ghost in a house share. Well maybe next time.
The Dark, the Sword, the forsaken, Pateron? Do love a good two parter, one of my pet peeves in sci fi or I guess weekly shows like this is when you get a good episode but then it's wrapped up in two minutes at the end cause they gotta go, so it's ends like 'Oh and er, he did it because of this, see you next week!' So do like when we get a second part and they can go more in depth. The cheat cards is one of the best Doctor bits, I love it so much. And the duty of care scene was really sweet too, it shows just how much the Doctor really cares for Clara.
The cheat cards!! How fantastic are they? They Doctor has always been a little emotionally inept, and I love how Clara is... well, she's a little bossy but she means it in the best way 😂
i realize you were probably referring to Doomsday with the 10th Doctor and Rose...but for a second I thought you were referring to the scene in Partners in Crime with Donna haha! VERY different vibes. this is probably my favorite two-parter of the 12th Doctor's era, both parts are really fantastic. it certainly is an interesting dynamic with the Doctor starting to notice Clara sinking deeper into her addiction to her life with him-truly one heck of a distraction from anything else. glad you enjoyed this one! opening to the next one is my favorite cold open of any doctor who episode, ever
I thought Jules was referring to 42, where Martha puts her hand up to the window. I guess there are a few options to choose from with the tenth Doctor!
It's 9pm on a Wednesday evening and that means it's Juliette and Doctor Who time. As it happens I'm currently binge-watching your earlier reactions, starting with Utopia (as I was just planning to see your first reactions to the Master but decided to keep on going). It's interesting how much you said how much you hated the Master compared to what you think of Missy. There are a lot of multiparters in this season and if you like longer stories as you say you do (and have mentioned in the past) maybe you'd be ok with the serialised nature of Classic Who, as overly long and slow as a lot of them can be. My recent rewatch helped me really appreciate this one, as scary as it is. That's quite a way to end for sure, and the next episode has an amazing and memorable beginning that showcases how brilliant Capaldi is.
I have heard that Classic Who has many multi part episodes! I do like them. It really gives a better chance to expand the story and not be so restricted to 45 minutes (which is... amazing to fit in a complete story in 45 minutes! Even more amazing is how The Good Place does it in 22 👀)
