This speech reminded me of the seventh doctor speech, "I'm not a man, not a human being. I'm a complex space-time event. I am Lord President of Gallifrey. The traveller from beyond time."
@@HOTD108_ less that the doctor has to be played by a man more that the doctor needed more than just a few pronoun issues for being in a completely foreign body
Everything about this episode is so well done. Don't know where to begin honestly. We need more sci-fi elements like this in the new era. Moffat absolutely cooked with this episode
@@Gerlaffy I do get the feeling that a lot's been happening between episodes that we haven't been told about... But it really didn't disturb my enjoyment of this episode
Moffat just understands how to write for the Doctor better than anyone. Ncuti fully felt like the Doctor after this episode. I really hope RTD and any other writers this season take note of this episode. This is the Doctor Who that we want!
I'm going to say it and make this very clear, after this episode and how absolutely phenomenal Ncuti is, anyone who says he "can't act" is just flat out, racist. He is absolutely acting his socks off! I cannot praise this man enough. He IS the Doctor!
@@charlesmento5968 Reminds me of the quote from Interstellar: "Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that Transcends Dimensions of Time and Space.".And altered states of consciousness (with ego-dissolution) that you can experience with meditation and holotropic breathwork.
Moffats way better at one off episodes than being a show runner. His doctors were a serise of "tune in next week to if we maybe do something with this idea" he tried too hard to make the doctor the most important thing in the universe. But when he does one episode that where everything he does has to be concluded by the end. He's great
@@boserboser6870 he also deconstructed that idea and tore the Doctor down multiple times, 11 suffered the biggest defeat he ever suffered at Demons Run and the end of series 6 he is deleting himself from databases and being more of a shadow like figure until much later. 12 is much the same, his big hero stuff becomes less about being a god and just being kind and helping, he uses his reputation to get things done sometimes but he hardly leverages it as much.
I still say that, as utterly brilliant as DW was under RTD, there are certain elements Moffat did a million times better. Not everything, some stuff he dropped the ball on, but when he got it right, he REALLY got it right. I’d even go so far as to say that while RTD’s tenure was more far more consistent, the highest peaks of Moffat’s era dwarfed those of his predecessor. There were still missed opportunities, but less than RTD’s era…and he understood the meaning of regeneration a bit better as well.
moffat is better at individual episodes rtd is better at overarching story. moffat tries to go too complex and they payoff never satisfies he needs a one and done to keep it from going off the rails
This wont be her character. She is returning as another modern earth companion if I’m not mistaken, which is beyond annoying as well. I get they are audience surrogates but change it up every once in a while.
