Please give a warm welcome to James! He edits most of our lists so you’re already familiar with his work. He’ll be popping up on the channel from time to time!
@@igorschmidlapp6987 OI! BE NICE TO THE NEW FRIEND! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE NARRIATING A VIDEO, AND SOMEONE IN THE COMMENTS WAS SAD THAT IT WASN'T THE USUAL PERSON!
is Ellie still recovering from the fact Alex Kingston won't be returning to doctor who, on behalf of the comment section, send her our condolences & that we are with her through the mourning period of the loss of 1 of the best, in fact, the best doctor who character, River song, you will be missed
in the episode gridlock when the cat picks up the doctor who is choking on fumes the cat explains that their was a story about a woman who stood out their for 20 mins and when they picked her up her head had expanded to 50 feet thiswould explain what happened to jack when he got to new earth and why he can only breath in the cryo case
people assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a nonlinear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.
I've been waiting for the last 14 years at the end of each series, wondering when the duck pond was going to be important. Glad to know the ducks where ok and get closure. Thank you james 🙏
Better call for engagement than "Like, Share and Subscribe", because if there's one thing people on the internet can't not do, it's pointing out errors.
Even though they weren't physically shown on screen, it actually was still indicated in the show that the duck pond ducks were erased from time. When the Doctor was first trying to figure out what the crack was in The Time of Angels two-parter. As part of his musings, he mentions the mystery of how it can be a duck pond when there aren't any ducks right at the moment he realizes that the crack is erasing people from time. Since the duck pond is mentioned as part of it, (though I guess it is slightly subtle...) that alone made it pretty clear to me that the duck pond ducks were victims of the crack in time too.
There is a mattress, rolled up in front of the sofa. He clearly landed on the mattress on his back then rolled backwards off it, landing in the position he was in!
I was hoping for more about the Face of Bo. I would also love to see an episode that explains the link to Jack, maybe including what Ashildr and Clara did with the cafe Tardis....
I can get how Jack could transform over billions of years into the Face of Boe, what I don't get is how he then proceeded to die considering his immortality and being a fixed point.
Thought the same, would’ve been cool If the following change in his immortality simply transcends physical existence, where his consciousness continued to exist beyond his limited physical existence as the Face of Boe
Who is James 😂 also i'd love him to be more common unlike crispy that only is there sometimes but i'd like him to appear on the channel a lot like Ellie
Huh, I never realized it was established canon that Jack is the Face of Boe. I thought that was more a throwaway joke. Neat to see confirmation from Davies.
The mystery that was answered that I just didn't buy was Ruby's mother, especially 'pointing to the sign'... It felt slapped together in a rush to end it. They need to bring back the Face of Boe. I miss Jack ("Captain Jack Harkness, note the stripes..."), but FoB should check in once in a while over millions of years. They need to bring back Jenny, too. She still has a whole lot of running to do.
You clearly werent paying attention as the white roll was a matress and the chair did have the laptop in it opened up pushed up all the way to the back of the chair
Great video, found this really interesting! I'd love to find out who gus was in Mummy on the Orient Express, it's one of those doctor who mysteries that I'd forgotten about, but now I'm thinking about it I need to know who he is! 😂 Also, I don't think anyone knows how powerful jackie tyler really is! 😂 Thanks James and Who Culture! 😊😊
I theorized that Missy programmed, or perhaps reprogrammed GUS. I mentioned it in a comment a few years ago. It would explain the callous killing of the kitchen staff, she would know that he would try to solve an unusual mystery. It's only a theory, but I think it fits.
Doctor Who has always been his name… the doctor just has the sense of humour not to correct anyone 6:51 a rolled up mattress he might have bounced against
The face of boe: what I really want to know is how a human time agent that eventually became a pickled head in a bottle, gets pregnant???? And were his children born heads or human?
I just assumed it was the same sofa that brought Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect back from the past to the middle of a cricket match?🤔 but I don't think it 's the right model.
Whoa there. The new face was a surprise but not unwelcome. Great job presenting the video James!! Hopefully we’ll see you in the duo videos as well sometimes.
I really like James, such a nice voice :) Ignore the people that can’t get over the 1989\1966 mistake, it’s not a massive deal. I thought you did great 🫶
Welcome James to the more seen aspects of Who Culture 😊 Unlike everyone else I won't mention the 1989 to 1966 mistake... Too late 😮😂 Mind it's one way to ensure we're all paying notice to the videos 😂😂
Good question, because during Torchwood Jack lived through fates much worse than beheading. But the answer is kinda obvious for anyone who watched "A good man goes to war" - it is some headless monks' magical technique. They are beheading in the way that body without a head became a new headless monk and the head without a body stays alive (at least Dorium Maldovar's head stayed alive, not sure about gay soldier from the episode)
“Nor are we going to learn that the Doctor’s name is Bob.” That’s because we already know it _isn’t_ Bob. It’s Bingle-Bongle Dingle-Dangle Yikkedy-Doo Yikkedy-Dah Ping Pong Lippy-Tappy-Too-Tah. It was revealed in the same cut scene from _Human Nature._
I took "There's always a twist at the end" to be referencing the fact that Susan Twist appeared in every episode and so her surname - Twist was at the end of each episode in the credits.
Welcome James! I'm sure you'll make a wonderful backup backup Ellie (just jokes) but really it'll be nice to have another perspective, especially for the third season 2
The confession dial should be less confusing. The whole premise of the episode is that he wakes up in this place of mystery, walks around scared, finding a lot of skulls in places he would have died (or has previously), observes the stars, figured out that HE is all the dead skulls and that he has been there a while, hits the diamond and dies. He is then… pretty much cloned from the the first him to go in the dial (so from the doctor who just lost someone) and does the exact same thing. Memory isn’t a part of it. If he remembered when he woke up the first time, he would go straight to the diamond and not waste his time. So technically, the doctor after this point is a clone.
Also, this means that he he doesn’t grieve Clara for billions of years, he experiences the minutes after Clara died over and over again because that’s where his clone and memory is created from. He never gets far enough from grief to respond any other way. It’s not a billion years for him. It’s simply right after she died.
@@BruhsCookieJar if the dial is designed to gather the memories of a dead timelord for future reading then him repeating events would be logged in sequence and he read his own dial upon escaping thus reclaiming all those memories
@@erubianwarlord8208 I assumed those memories are more like a journal entry, not a generational memory. The first being somethingmoytside yourself, like reading a history book. A generational memory would be more like a memory passed through generations that you are born with and experience the emotions of or know as your full lived experience. When he see what they did to him, it would still be angering, but it doesn’t change that each day he lived there was simply the one day Clara died. He very consistently responded the same way. To be later told that one of the worst days of your life was on repeats, over and over would enrage me too. I mean, who is cruel enough to do that to someone???
My head-canon for the “twist at the end” was after defeating a god their domain remains active for a bit. I.e. The state of play allowing 15 to split the tardis with a hammer, the state of music allowing for a musical number and so on and so forth
We also got an answer to The Doctor's name in an official guide ("The Making of Doctor Who") at one point. It's apparently "δ³Σx²" (sorry if that doesn't show, it's mathematical symbols.)
When I was younger me and a couple of friends took a free sofa to an empty field for fun and kept it there as a meet up spot so a sofa being there isn’t that strange to me
I've assumed since the last season that the minister of war is roger ap gwilliam since he was very nuke happy and he was a prime minister from the future. obviously not the plan at the time but it works retroactively
The Face Of Boe reveal made me quit watching modern Who. It felt like they were answering a question nobody had asked. It didn't help that I found Captain Jack very irritating.
8:17 I don’t know if I’m right but I’m pretty sure there was a line that mentioned the duck pond implying that they were victims of the crack but idk, my memory might be wrong… 🤔
I've never been angrier about such clear misinformation! Pears ARE that bad, they're like a sand-flavored squishball that turns liquid when it can annoy you more.
Different kinds of pears may taste quite differently😅 Something becoming pear-shaped is "going down the drain" - never knoweing about the Doctor's distrust of pears I misheard 12th final advise as "never ever appease!" & The Luggage in Discworld is made out of intelligent pear-wood: makes "him" a goid companion, following his owner everywhere and having different options of revealing large amounts of content: Do we know what wood the TARDIS shell is supposed to be?
