Doctor Who 1x07 The Long Game | Full Reaction
Probably not my favourite episode so far, but there were some moments in this that I REALLY liked. There's just something to be said about the Doctor's snarky sense of humour and sarcastic, flippant attitude. I like how he seems so "possessive" of Rose, and I'm curious if others see it as well? I am not sure yet if there is a reason for this, or if it's just down to his non-human nature. He seems to prefer it when it's just he and Rose and no one else, even telling one of the other women in this episode to basically just get lost 😅
I like it. It might just be me, and maybe I'm reading more into it than what is actually there, but I personally like it!
I think I recognise one of the actors in this episode, the main dude on floor 500, but I also don't think I've seen him in anything before. He just looks familiar! Creepy monster, funny ending, a bit of banter, happy days!

Since you're into romance, I can see why you like the Mulder and Scully relationship, as well as Buffy and Angel.
In the classical period, the Doctor had up to 3 companions. But every Doctor has a slightly different personality. I think it is like the Doctor said... he only takes the best.
Stay tuned... ;-)
I remember watching it from the 60's until the present Doctor
Oh Adam Adam you had to go mate Can’t do shit like that with the doctor I always liked the angry walk of the doctor and the camera just focusing on him like he is coming towards you and he will throw you to a black hole or something
Our Doctor does have SUCH a scary kind of vibe to him! I would never want to make him mad 😅
Ahh I remember Mickey. I just use that song at the end of the film "Bring It On" which starred Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Duskhu, to remind me 😄
Just to confirm what Juliette has said about synching up with the BBC iPlayer, which I'm using to synch up to Juliette's reaction. I have checked through iPlayers FAQ and iPlayer is only available in the UK. Which is not a problem for me as I am a UK resident. The problem with iPlayer and non-UK viewers is a licencing issue not a hardware one.
I'm also using iPlayer in the UK but from what I've heard, people outside the UK can use a VPN to create an account (which is free of course) and watch from wherever they happen to be.
I'm having real problems syncing with hbo. The video on here seems to be running faster....
Juliette is watching in the shows original broadcast format. HBO won't be a match unfortunately.
I don’t think the Doctor is possessive of Rose. As he said, he only takes the best. He’s very particular about who he will let into his confidence, and is mostly a very sharp judge of character. Cathica was being fearful and not willing to question what was going on, so he dismissed her. Once she came through and saved the day, though, he was much more accepting. Adam proved to be selfish and deceitful, and selfishness is a trait the Doctor won’t abide. The Editor was played by Simon Pegg. I highly recommend his “Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy” of comedy films which he did with Nic Frost - Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End. I love the expression on Adam’s mum’s face at the end when she clicks her fingers😀. Serves him right to be dumped back home!
Ahhh, thank you Lloyd! I did just wonder if he was simply wanting Rose all to himself 😅 I kinda like that thought, it's cute. But maybe he is just wanting to get the job done and get it done right and he knows he can with Rose!
This isn't one of my favs either. But I look forward to you enjoying the best parts. I'm always glad to see the back of Adam, every single time. But all one needs to do is Google the actor to understand why. The guy you are referring to is Simon Pegg. Successful in the UK since the late 90's, then in recent decades that has broadened internationally from the success of a few British films and then being part of two big Hollywood franchises. Star Trek and Mission Impossible.
This is my first time seeing Simon in anything, but he has one of those faces that I know I've seen before, somewhere 😅 Adam... I mean, he had potential... but I'm not a fan. He wasn't intending any malice by what he did, but he was just looking out for number 1 and being extremely careless, dumb and selfish. Silly boy!
The main villain is played by Simon Pegg, of SHAUN OF THE DEAD fame. Fun fact: it took Simon many, many takes to pronounce the Jagrafess's name. I'm not certain he ever got it right completely.
Ahhh Simon Pegg!! I've heard of him and know his face but this is my first time seeing him!
