Doctor Who 1x08 Father's Day | Full Reaction

I think the difference between what Rose did and what the Dr does is that rose did it while the other rose and the other dr were in the same timeline.

I would have done the same thing as Rose. The Dr should have predicted that she wouldn't have been able to help herself when the chance to save him came

Loving your reactions so far. But I can tell you are going to make me cry a lotttt haha.

I can honestly say I watched this episode about 20 times ish… and still it never fails to break my heart even after all this time

In the DW universe, the rules of time travel are convoluted and seemingly contradictory. Two such rules: Rule #1: if an event has been recorded-for example, the sinking of the Titanic - as a fact in history, it's fixed and cannot be changed. If the event has not been recorded as fact - for example, the takeover of the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire by the Jagrafess - it is fluid and can be changed. Rule #2: Rule #1 is open to interpretation and can be ignored when the writers goddamn feel like it. So... yeah. :-)

If you're not really feeling the movie reactions then don't force yourself to do them. I'm perfectly happy with you sticking to series myself. If I had one piece of advice though, it would be to maybe choose some shorter series to go alongside a longer one, just because that way you'd have more variety on the channel and maybe draw more people in.

When you started saying no, no, no, this moment from Friends came to mind. 😆 "Cystal duck!" https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxq8v55FfPcr7-BEejiIkmyefSJx0cxLdK I knew that this would be a popular one with you. So much amazing expressive moments throughout. I have two 'my Doctors' One for Classic (4) and one for Nuwho who is a future number. But I love them all of course. It's always hard to imagine how the next will ever take their place. Some times it's the smallest if things... Like someone's eyebrows. (That's for those Who know. 😉) Fun Classic Fact: The Doctor mentions loosing his whole family because of the war. While they are not necessarily an extremely explored feature in the past. During the very beginning, The Doctor used to travel with a member of his family, his Granddaughter, who went by Susan. Her actual name in their native language is Arkytior, which translates as Rose. I like that a number of chosen character names have a reason behind them that the new watchers are unaware of. There are plenty of these Easter egg details to share.

I absolutely love this episode. I won't say it's my favorite of all time, but it was certainly my favorite in the show at the time. I'm not sure if 'your first Doctor is YOUR Doctor'. Maybe for some, but this was my first Doctor and I love him, but MY Doctor is a few regenerations away (Probably strumming a guitar, waiting for his turn. Ha) Oh, and by the way, the sync in this episode was perfect! Dunno if you changed where you were watching, or if something else happened. But whatever it was, it was great!

Wonderful episode, brought to life by powerful acting. As you pointed out, these episodes can each be so different from each other and still be so great I think it's hard to pick a favorite. Regarding movies, I think you should go with your instincts and focus on classic movies that really developed their story and character lines. In addition to the two you mentioned, there are some top quality movies that just about every reactor seems to watch (for instance Forrest Gump), and then there are so many that are off the beaten path but that pack a punch in acting, quality and story development. A few ideas are Amadeus, Scent of a Woman, and Love Story.

You asked a while back if the Doctor could return to a point in his own timelines to correct an error. THIS is why he can't. 😀

I really like your reactions to Doctor Who, and your idea of ​​watching more in a week! You will have a lot of experiences. And we want to watch it with you! Thank you very much!

You should react to two parters in one video like episodes 9 and 10

This episode demonstrates just how powerful DW can be. It’s not “just” cheesy aliens, but can also pack a strong emotional punch, or a powerful social message. As you said, many of us would do what Rose did, and this story in particular strikes a chord with almost everyone. My own dad died when I was a teenager, and what I wouldn’t give to have time with him again! I like your idea of alternating two episodes a week between Buffy and DW. There are more episodes in a season of Buffy than DW, but there are many more seasons/series of DW (especially if you go down the path of Classic Doctor Who and/or spin-offs). While it’s often true that a viewer’s first Doctor tends to live in their hearts as THEIR Doctor, it is also true that EVERY Doctor is still THE Doctor, a fact I’m sure you’ll come to appreciate.

What's great about your plan is that their are no filler episodes left in either this season of Buffy or Dr. Who. It is all goodness from here on out. So whatever you watch in whatever quantity, is going to be awesome for us.

I like the idea of occasionally alternating shows for a 2nd episode that week. In all fairness, if you have more Buffy fans, I'd not expect it to be a 50/50 thing. But would hope that a balance could be reached, especially when we have instances of two-parters for example. On the film front, I see your point. Well written films are truly a rarity, especially in the age when we have to listen to the drivel that is the evaluation of the quality of CGI for a film that is only 10 years old. So it is of no surprise to me that two of the examples you give are based on novels. There has to be a few recommendations that the community can give, that are brilliant examples of storytelling on the more traditional front, for the occasional film reaction.

I would vote for more Buffy, but I'm biased and don't watch Dr Who

I’m the same way with movies and there’s only a handful I watch reactions to, but there are some that make my rewatch list.

Oh, we’re in for a gut punch, heart wrenching and all round heartbreaking episode. I better grab my tissues!!
