THIS might be my favourite episode yet. OH! It was beautifully emotional. Amazing. Epic. Heartbreaking. Clever. Wonderful. I went through ALL the emotions in this one 🤣
My goodness. It might be different from person to person, but I just adored this episode. So special (if that word is adequate) and such a privilege to witness the Doctor being human, even for just a short while.
Thank you all for sharing this moment with me 💜

About your thoughts on if he would leave Martha behind, I don't think so. He appreciates everything Martha does, especially over the last 4 episodes.. If she had accepted that offer to go with the Doctor, I think she would've joined Martha and the doctor in the TARDIS, not replace. Also yes this is a beloved episode, you are not alone, don't worry.
I am SO glad that this is a beloved episode!! I often worry if I'm alone in liking something 🤣
The Doctor wanted to bring the Lady Pompadore(close enough?), but the gateway was wonky. He also let Rose bring bring along several guys. I'd imagine that The Doctor didn't see a conflict with having his friend and the girl his disguise was in love with traveling with him at the same time.
Also, that lack of an overlay made it sooooo much easier to stay synced!
These last two episodes all the way up to the finale of S3 are all 10/10 episodes from me. Just pure FIREEEEE!!! Strap in, it's about to get craaaazyyyyy!!! (P.S. I cried right along with ya)
cannot WAIT!!! I am absolutely in love with series 3 and the 10th Doctor. He is EVERYTHING 😭😭
Tennant is such a fantastic actor and he really shows his skill in these episodes. I love them. Also, it's very different, but I love the next episode, too. Hope you enjoy it :)
Admittedly I don't re-watch these episodes because I didn't really like them after I first saw them years ago, but doing so now with your reaction has me wondering why. They're so good!
Great reaction as always. This 2 parter is really good, it was the first time (in modern DW) that we saw the doctors actions having direct consequences, like what the nurse said if he didn't go that particular village then no one would've died Also next week's episode is considered by many (and me) to be the best Doctor who episode of all time, your in for a treat :)
This episode, more than any other so far, demonstrates how truly alien - and terrifying - the Doctor can be. When it's revealed that he was fleeing the Family because he wanted to save them from his own wrath, everyone with a pulse got the shivers. The contrast between the Doctor and his human alter ego John Smith was a masterpiece of subtle acting skill on David Tennant's part. There is a reason this two-part episode is a fan favorite. SPOILER: The next episode will blow your mind, Juliette. Be prepared. :-)
Wasn't it AMAZING 🥰
Juliette your timing is impeccable. I'm just about to tuck into my dinner and I hate it when I have nothing to watch while eating. You have just saved me lol.
Thank goodness it isn't too gory or gross for dinner time viewing 😅
