Doctor Who 6x7 REACTION!! "A Good Man Goes to War" 

Dagenspear holy fuck.

I love that. I mean, I dislike the "Face of Bo is Jack" idea a great deal but I love the way you joined the dots.

Oh my God!!!

This is not canon. It was something that was kicked around by Russell T Davies and he mentioned the possibility of it during added commentary but it's never been made official by anyone.

@@jedislap8726 that Face of Boe was captain jack? I dont think anyone thought it until they said so in end of time. Captain Jack himself tells the story of how he was called that and then they cut to the doctor and marthas shocked expressions. unless youre referencing something else

FailoReachForge my favorite part of the episode

Which is interesting, because if you watch "Night of the Doctor" there is this interaction... Karn person who's name escapes me: "You call yourself a good man." Eight: "I call myself the Doctor" Kpwnem: "They mean the same thing in your mind" Eight: "I like to think so." And later on Twelve questions "Am I a good man Clara?"

@@bluestar2059 Moffat's idea of the 'doctor' is that is an idea in the doctor's head... Someone who he wants to be. And I really love that idea

@SpankMeSanta uhh no

@SpankMeSanta those to pieces of dialogue are so unbelievably different that I can't understand how you could make that connection, let alone call it a ripoff. The only similarity is that both are discussing the rules that they have for themselves.

That was Rose though

@@ladrac198 no that was Amy, it was the beast below if I remember correctly when they’re in the voting booth

@@obiwankenobi687 It was both. He says it twice, but I can't really remember the first time. Pretty sure it was Rose the first time

@@australianwi-fi It was the thief from Planet of the Dead, the flying bus episode

Which actually works on a couple of levels given what happens next episode.

o m g I never realized that

Also in the episode with Idris (6x04) , Idris says to Rory that the only water in the forest is the river.

I will always love the scene where Rory asks if they need him to repeat the question

@@shortallen3218 YES "Would you like me to repeat the question?" Easily, most badass Rory moment ever

He’ll always be RORY the Roman!

never thought about this

Another one is River telling the Doctor his Name in the Library. She tells him his name which causes him to understand she is extremely important to him and have such a strong bond from his first moment leading him to trust her enough to tell him his name.

or he invented the word doctor

That is the best part, and in the previous episodes and future episodes with the lullaby.

Wakey wakeeeeeeeey!

Im nearly twelve...

Form of Therapy PD omg i didn’t know you watched them too hdjdj

PD OMG

Not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you're bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my gf during the lockdown =)

@Jamari George yup, I've been using instaflixxer for since november myself =)

@Jamari George yup, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)

Apparently at one time (either for this episode or the 50th Anniversary) Moffat did ask Barrowman if he can come shoot an episode, but he couldn't free-up the time due to other filming he had scheduled. After that, he hasn't had an episode where bringing him back to the show would feel natural and not forced.

coladict I heard that too! I also heard something about Captain Jack being the one in the elevator instead of the pirate captain.

MrMaster7112765 That sounds way better

@@pixelsheep8939 Fucking Miracle day...

I doubt that. Like Moffat that, this would kill the joke.

Why didn't he come out 😥

He was doing his hair.

@@Dannydarko27 Too busy with Torchwood Miracle Day

Liam Catterson it would have ruined his characters logic though as he was set to be decapitated to explain how he becomes the face of boe, despite regenerating all of his limbs, organs and skin etc when he was blown up in children of earth so it wouldn’t have made sense for it to happen this way, there’s also the fact that Russel T Davies wanted to leave just enough information in there so it that could be true and just enough so that it could also be false. He didn’t want the show to totally confirm or totally deny that he was the face of boe. Moffat would have been totally confirming it if John Barrowman was available and he went ahead with his original plan so I’m glad he never got his hands on Captain Jack for his time as show runner. I find it lucky that John was busy

@@obiwankenobi687 Could easily be explained by the Monks specific type of decapitation.

MrG3R0N1MO I don’t know if this is just an obvious statement I’m about to say, but I love it also, purely because Rory himself is a nurse, so there’s a bit of a metaphor-connection there. I’m guessing everyone already knew that tho 😄

@@gilanes Haha that was what I was referring to but it's good to reinforce lol

One is a Nurse turned warrior, one is a warrior turned Nurse.

Really? I disliked it, because it felt like it was saying there is something less about being a nurse than being a so-called warrior, considering the job nurses have, I would have to disagree. It felt wrong/biased/condescending, not funny.

@@FallingGalaxy with Straxes species, it is a punishment and a disappointment to his kind to be a nurse. That is why he said it.

Exactly,same!!!

Definitely my favorite era for soundtracks so far!

I have “I am the Doctor” as an alarm ringtone!

Omg I never got that

holy shit

Why did you write that down i cant unsee that

My boi ace was here?! Also, ur channel is great, love ur vids, u actually got me into listening to the audiodramas to find out more about the show

Nice to see that you're watching these amazing reactions!

It was

Alex George MOOOFFFFFFAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!

Oh crap I didn't think about this one, I did catch the beard joke on the tenant special with the 4th(?) doctor in the tardis

Yeah no they totally missed that. I only got it myself when I rewatched the episode in preparation for this reaction, and I'm a bi woman, so I guess we can cut the four straight guys some slack.

@@luthienmpl Yes, they missed a joke. Just like they've missed many other jokes before. It doesn't really have anything to do with them being straight. There is no slack to cut.

yeah her theme always makes my heart ache real bad T.T

Rhodri Williams what? It’s awesome. Like how can that be your most hated episode when love and monsters exists?

@@Anna-zi7sx Agreed, or any episode with Bill.

@@bun6134 Well, she IS SJW pandering, the BBC practically beat is over the head with the fact that Bill was gay, conveniently leaving out anything else that may have made her, oh i don't know, an interesting character, wait, nope, I've said one too many words, that would have made her a character, but that's not the only reason I think she's the worst thing about new Who. There's a bit of a chain of thought needed to exlain why though, so prior to travelling with the Doctor she thought the TARDIS was an extention of his office, but she'd have to have walked through the control room..... to get into his office, so there's some proof that she doesn't understand bjective reality, which is in-and-of-itself proof of an overall lack of common sense, and if the Doctor's companions lack common sense, then just anybody can be a companion, which makes the whole exclusivity of time-travelling with the Doctor irrelevant, and if just anybody can make a position irrelevant, then it never really mattered in the first place, meaning Rose, Jack, Clara, Amy, Donna, Martha and the rest are inconsequential in the grand scheme of the series.

Almost all companions were more 'beating us over the head' about their sexuality than Bill was. Consider how often Amy's sexuality is brought up, in comparison. At the start of series 10, Bill was somewhat ashamed for her sexuality, but over time grew more confident and learned that there really was nothing to be ashamed of - Jack was never ashamed for his sexuality. That's the difference. Hate to break it to you buddy, but DW, like most Sci-Fi, has been progressively leaning since day one. It isn’t something that just recently popped up like most of you "SJW PWNERS" think - the only think that has sprung up in the last 10 years is your kind and platforms for you to speak on. I think it is rather odd to call Amy/Jack/Clara/Amy/Donna/Martha people with "common sense", but not Bill. Bill was at the top of her class at university, and always asked the right questions. What makes any of the other companions so clever in your opinion? She saw the Doctor like the grandfather she never had, and her arc perfectly reflects the warmth that Pearl Mackie brought to the character. You argue that Bill is a bad companion, because Bill mentioned her sexuality a few times (I fail to see how that's a problem unless you're homophobic) and 'lacks common sense' because of some shit about the Doctor's office (?????). Okay pal.

@@bun6134 Personally I've been really hating it when TV shows shove sexuality down your throat. It's bad when one of the first traits you think of for a character becomes "gay/lesbian" instead of their actual personality. I think it's awesome we're being more progressive in media, but it shouldn't be super in-your-face. That said, I agree that it wasn't pushed that hard with Bill. It felt natural enough to me, and I really liked her character.

Captain* Jack Harkness

Check out his Jekyll series before the new one comes out. I'm not sure whether it's a continuation or a reboot.

No reason it can't still be his cot (even if it was _also_ used by his son/daughter and/or Susan - passed down to them as it was to Melody).

@@anonymes2884 Perhaps, yeah, but I think that little uncomfortable pause he does before suddenly saying "It was mine" is very telling.

@@TimeturnerJ Sure but my point is it would be _exactly_ as telling if it was also his cot (before it was Son/Daughter of Who then Susan's) - it'd still have that uncomfortable history _and_ be his. It's open to interpretation of course, to me it doesn't feel like he's lying here, to you it does. So it goes ;).

Novels specify that he had 13 children.

@@Kasterborous1963 Wow, that's That's a lot of children

one of the best DOCTOR WHO episodes in my opinion :)

Kevin O'Grady I thought it was one of the worst and I think the next episode is possibly THE worst Smith episode.

Fans who waited.

I'm looking forward to the snowmen episode simply because of the ending.

3 did. Hitler helped him stop the Master during The Night Of The Long Knives.

Alfie 0202 two months

We had to wait from the beginning of June to the end of August. 3 months basically. Not 5

Well, you would have more questions if you forget to actually watch episodes 7, 8 and 13 while they're playing in front of you.

@@bigfatcarp93 when did they do that?

​@@coladict That implies the answers within those episodes are logical.

Dabba dee Dabba da.

Azizul Adnan I think vastra actually originates from big finish

This is when she's first introduced. The Silurians in the classic era were in much smaller groups than the civilisation depicted in series 5, and looked very different. The modern redesign was explained as being a different branch of the species. There's a tiny bit of backstory given in this episode. If I remember right, she's the only survivor of another small group underneath London. I wouldn't be surprised if Big Finish later did an origin story for her.

​@@TheMoonRover I don't know about an origin story, but Big Finish is doing a Paternoster Gang series. www.bigfinish.com/news/v/the-paternoster-gang-return

TheMoonRover Question: why do the modern female Silurians have obvious mammary glands?

dvader518 I guess they didn't want to bind/hide the actress' breasts just for scientific accuracy. Also, the show has never cared for accuracy.

Gilanes This might be a long comment, so sorry about that in advance. Firstly, I'll start off with why I think series 6 as a whole doesn't work. The emotional impact of Amy and Rory losing their daughter is completely glossed over. Mel being revealed to be River and growing up alongside Amy and Rory all along is a ridiculous attempt at softening the blow of them losing Melody. The Doctor using the teselecta is a cheap get out of jail card, which doesn't even make sense because the Doctor started to regenerate in "The Impossible Astronaut". The teselecta is a machine operated by humans. It shouldn't have been able to replicate a regeneration. It would've made slightly more sense if it was a flesh duplicate of the Doctor, but that thread was completely dropped and never mentioned again. Even then, the Eleventh Doctor was the last in the Doctor's regeneration cycle, so it would've still been inconsistent because he had no regenerations left. Also, the whole premise of the series is kind of ridiculous. They teased us with the possibility of the Doctor dying, but we all knew it was a bluff. As a result, the level of dramatic tension and suspense wasn't as much they probably hoped. We were simply waiting too see the answers to all of our many, many questions and find out how the Doctor got out of it in the end. It would've helped if the answers were at all satisfactory. Why was it necessary for the Doctor and River to get married? It felt so OTT and dramatic for absolutely no reason. All of that emotional build up and drama felt so cheap, unnecessary and manipulative, when the teselecta twist was revealed. Also, it was never even explained how the Silence were able to control and blow up the Tardis in the previous series' finale and why they were willing to put all of reality in danger just to stop the Doctor from getting to Trenzalore? They were trying to save reality by destroying all of reality? Makes sense. As for the episode quality, I think the opening two parter, "The Doctor's Wife" and AGMGTW are all brilliant stories. The only other good episodes in the series are TGWW and "The God Complex". The rest of the episodes are either mediocre like "The Rebel Flesh"/"The Almost People" and "Night Terrors". Or they were just bad like "The Curse of the Black Spot", "Let's Kill Hitler", "Closing Time" and "The Wedding of River Song". That's half of the series' episodes that aren't good. I would agree that it's not a terrible series though. In all honesty, there isn't a single terrible series. There are just some that are poor in comparison to the rest and some that standout. I think series 6 is an ok series overall, but it has lots and lots of missed opportunities. I would argue that there's never been a more ambitious series than series 6 and there's something to be said about that. The arc, no matter how ridiculous in it's premise was incredibly interesting and innovative. It had the potential to be absolutely mind blowing in the same way the previous series' cracks in time arc was. However, Moffat put himself into a corner by putting so much in to the series arc and making it so integral to the series as a whole. The arc HAD to be great for the series to succeed and it wasn't. Moffat put all his eggs into one basket and he couldn't quite turn his ambition into something truly great in the end. Again, apologies for the long comment, but I hope I got my points across well enough and you understand why so many people think series 6 is probably second only to series 7 as the weakest series.

Night Terrors is an episode I forgot existed. The rest are indeed solid.

TVScanner99 totally agree with you man. May be a little biased as Smith is my favourite and the combo of Amy, Rory and River felt was prime doctor who for me 😄

I think it's very underrated. The arc is very flawed, and the finale isn't very satisfying, but dangnabit this season as a whole was one of the most exciting rollercoaster rides of a season for me, even if it didn't stick the landing. The two that I HATE are Black Spot and Night Terrors, but there are usually 2 shit eps a season. 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 11 are all fantastic imo, 12 is pretty great too

Other than 7B, S6 I enjoyed the most overall compared to S5 and S7A. I don't love S6 or even really like that much but in comparison to S5 and S7A...I enjoyed more episodes as a whole. Actually, I don't even like S5 and S7A.

This is where the fun begins (well, that was actually The Eleventh Hour)

@Gmail com no

coladict nah

SAME HERE !!!!

False...this is her first appearance it’s confirmed.

@@jacobhogan3208 you are not correct

Tazmon Sims nope, vastra is from a completely different group of Silurians

if you did any research you would understand you are wrong.
