Doctor Who 7xXX REACTION!! "The Snowmen" 

This. So much this. Love seeing them develop into such huge fans xD

They are going to flip over the 50th.

I've been on that set & I can't tell you how amazing it was to walk through those doors & feel like you are actually in the TARDIS. Memories I will have forever 😍 RIP Michael Pickwoad 😢

@@fleason771 walking on the TARDIS is such an amazing experience, never gets old.

Dear Blind Wave: Please watch some more Classic Doctor Who, and please watch: 'The Tenth Planet,' before: 'Series 10.' That would be great! :)

The times! I shall bring it up?

Mordirit send* but close enough XD I love strax what would we do without straxy

​@@allthingspaper3247Of which we shall lure him to safety, and we will melt him with acid!

I never understood that, she is fun, and inquisitive, but independent. She isn't just a rehash, but isn't boring or generic like say Martha or future companions (trying to hide potential spoilers)

@@LODintheshadows Yeah, I felt the same way. Also trying to avoid spoilers, but I thought she had one of the best character arcs overall for Doctor Who companions.

It's just that she lasted A LOT and people got tired I think, she also started to be too much of a focus for the Doctor like, the Doctor it's going to bring hell but no, Clara doesn't approve so it can't be done. It's fine when a companion influences the Doctor a little, but it can be jarring when they almost seem to take full control. I did get a little tired by the end but personally I don't have a problem with Clara for the most part and I liked her a lot.

I like THIS clara, i hate the one that actually sticks around

Is there like an inverse of the phrase "She grew on me" ? Cause I like Clara to begin with, but she just hung around for a loooong time and I personally wasn't a huge fan of what she ended up turning into, and the role she ended up taking up in the story.

Well there is Peter Capaldi's reaction but its a close 2th

@@dogomania694 Nothing beats finally seeing it done properly ;).

@@dogomania694Capaldi’s is top notch acting

I was really excited to see the end of Amy Pond too!

Alex Nicole Yass!

Yes I loved Clara only thing I disliked was the Danny pink arc I don’t know it just felt so forced and random and the chemistry just didn’t work between them for me compared to the doctor and herself, il never forget when Matt smith was regenerating into peter and the dialogue inbtween them was something else

It was like a concoction of all the best parts of companions, but none of the worst. That's the problem with her. Shes a manifactured mary-sue, though for some reason I enjoyed Victorian her far more thsn modern Clara. Why couldn't they have kept Victorian her? That would have been so interesting! Imagine seeing modern day through her eyes?

lover her in this season, really like her in the next season, don't like her in her third season

Yes! Thank You! That's what I keep saying. Why does everyone hate her for the same reasons that theylove The Doctor? I never undestood that. And don't get me started with the "Mary sue" argument. She is as perfect as The Doctor and as flawed as any real person. That's what I love about her. She is a complex character and her relationship with the Doctor is even more

So true 😂

Almost as good as when he predicted that there would be human Daleks with eye stalks in the forehead during the Bad Wolf episode. Had to wait 6 seasons for that prediction to pay off.

This episode's great, the villain is a bit meh, but it's a blast to go through. I guess it's less profound than the best of Moffat and less straightforward than the RTD era, so it has few defenders.

NPE 94 the villain didn’t have to be satisfying cause he gets resolved later more dramatically, also a callback to classic who

Pacing felt ALOT BETTER. Dose not drag like i recall

I personally prefer 11/Clara over 12/Clara

@@fkez0510 it takes two like journey of the Centre of the TARDIS for the doctor to realize she is a person

Eh 12 and clara isnt great

Awww. I love that theory. Of course! He was so heartbroken, it makes sense.

It reflects his state as well. The Amy and Rory interior was cheery and whimsical, this is darker,as he is grieving over them

Maybe it's just because I associate this interior more with Capaldi than Smith, but my headcanon was always that the TARDIS noticed The Doctor being more grumpy and curmudgeonly and thought 'Here's 12, time for a do-over'.

At the end of Angels of Manhattan the doctor was putting out a fire that was in the tardis. So I think its a combination of this and the fact it reminds him of Amy and Rory

Hmm, that works I suppose.

Seriously though Aaron could be a professional poker player doesn't get enough credit!

there is only one character left to show up for the 50 anniversary to be ready

I think with Clara's introduction, the writers had exactly the correct idea. Instead of being the Doctor's Watson, she's the Doctor's Robin. Instead of being a normal person to contrast him, she's so much like him THAT'S where the conflict comes in. But after Snowmen, the show dramatically tones down her eccentric personality and makes her just another normal British girl again but without the personal connection to the Doctor that made Amy matter. Then suddenly towards the end of Series 8 Flatline happens, and the writers all collectively remembered what Clara's characterization was again

It's not available on RU-vid, though. Probably gets automatically removed by contentid match. It can be found using google.

Just watched it. Another amazing Stax performance. "Are you the women ones?".

There also another tiny prologue to this episode about the London trio trying to get the Doctor out of his grumpy mood... Not really important but has some nice funny moments

@@inspectorwhoreacts there actually two prequels, The Great Detective and Vastra Investigates

@@alex_gaimar Yeah, at this point they were considering producing a spin-off series featuring the 'Paternoster gang' (Vastra, Jenny and Strax) so there are a few elements planted in the mini-sodes pointing towards that. Never materialised unfortunately, could've been fun I think.

NPE 94 I love those lines in Hell Bent so much.

She's hated bc her character is, to put it bluntly, an asshole.

@@DarthRushy Nope .. She is hated because unlike every other companion (except Amy and Rory) She was not written to swoon and faun over the Doctor and his brilliance. Clara was the only one to Call him on His BS in a Non Comedic way (unlike Donna). That is why he connected with her so much that he was willing to wait SPOILER years in the SPOILER when he walked away from pretty much every other companion. Their confrontations in "Dark Water" and "The Zygon Inversion" were probably the best parts of the show for me.

Then I really pity you

@@DarthRushy I can live with that .. :)

I was exactly the same a while back. I actually didn't like most of s7 at all. And then once I rewatched it with a different mindset than when I first watched it, I started loving it more and more. And especially watching through it again with BW has helped a lot with that. I feel like that happens a lot with reactions, getting a new perspective on stuff.

I'm counting those weeks down.. won't be long now.

I have a feeling that Calvin might freak out for the 50th Anniversary Special.

The fact they watched the movie makes it even better.

They will still need to watch the mini ep before 50th

The chemistry gets even better as we all know.

@@paulwagner688 Yeah I was depressed when some stuff happened and some stuff changed *ahem* but in the end, it's chemistry all over and I looooooooooooooove Capaldi.

It is weird, because Jenna Coleman and Matt Smith felt made for each other in her first two episodes. But the downturn became so sharp for me after that ... I really more think of her as Capaldi's companion now, because her best material is everything between Flatline and Hell Bent

Well, she didn't really bring him back so much as point out that his wound was really only superficial.

It's also an amusing coincidence that the story was returned around the same time this was being produced (don't think i've ever seen the exact date that phillip handed over the episodes).

Its not a prequel. Web of Fear was set in the 1960's as Brigadior Leth-Bridge Stewart was in it and I don't think he ever traveled in the TARDIS (at least not by choice). This is a different version of the Great Intelligence as well, making it the third time it appeared. So although it does take place before Web of Fear, it isn't a direct continuation.

TheZebbga still a prequel as it precedes Web of Fear, the Great Intelligence is the same entity here just portrayed in an updated, modern style and web of fear although airing in 1960s is set in the late 70s/80s

I know it procedes Web of Fear and that story was set in the London Underground. I thought it was a different version of the Great Intelligence because wouldn't it then know of the Doctor? I mean I have only seen the story once and it was a few years back so I am forgetting things (like I thought it was set in the 60's) but I am sure it is a different version of the Great Intelligence.

TheZebbga you can always google it if you don’t believe me it’ll probably say there, the great intelligence isn’t a species, it’s one all powerful entity with no physical form of its own so it takes others, same entity though

I was going to say much the same thing, but all I can do now is agree with you. I'm a huge fan of the original series, and of the new one as well.

I like this one better: It was an unprovoked and violent attack, BUT THAT'S NO EXCUSE!

Plenty of reasons why people don't like her. Also, plenty of things that are likable about her. The bad things kinda outway those for me though. After a while, it isn't just the character. It's the general air of self importance that both she and Moffet are trying to convey. 'the doctor's best friend'. No. That was Donna. They were the epitamy of best friends, and not once did she ever want to snog him. That was amazing! Aaaand she got one season, while Clara gets, what, four? Honestly, I doubt four seasons would really have worked for Donna, but it doesn't work for ANY companion, including Clara. All that flamin pomp and ceremony for when she finally left. It barely meant anything to me, as the amount of time she got with the Doctor felt more than fair. What's actually tragic about most companions leaving is that they could have given so much more to the Doctor's adventures. That's what's so heartbreaking about them. And then Moffet expects me to feel the same emotion after severel fakeouts and a complete milking dry of the character? No. Look, you can like her, but I hope you now kinda understand why others don't. It isn't an odd thing to hate how they handled her character, ok?

@@jessicaable5095 I never said that there weren't any reasons to dislike her, just that the amount and intensity of the hatred she got have always seemed excessive to me. I don't think it's fair to say that Moffat was trying to replace or imitate Donna through Clara: the idea of the companion being the Doctor's best friend is quite old, RTD didn't come up with it and it isn't exclusive to one companion. Donna was the Tenth Doctor's best friend, yes. But so was Rose, and Amy for the Eleventh Doctor, and in the case of Clara she had an extra special connection with the Twelfth. I really don't think the exclusivity that you adscribe to Donna in that regard exists. As for her time in the show, it was three seasons (Series 7, 8 and 9), not four. You may think it was too much and that's okay, but once again, it's not the first time a companion has had an extended run. Amy almost had the same number of adventures as her, Rose had two full seasons and then returned as a guest, not to mention classic companions like Sarah Jane with quite long stays on board the TARDIS. Why is it okay for others but not Clara? Furthermore, if the drama from a companion's departure were usually derived by how they didn't have enough time with the Doctor, as you say, then there would only be cause to feel sad for one-season companions, which I think is not really the case. You also seem to be forgetting that the "fakeout" regarding Clara's departure was not planned: Jenna Coleman originally intended to leave at the end of Series 8 and that was going to be her permanent exit, but she changed her mind. Can you blame Moffat for that?

@@aleztfu as you can see, even by the responses, you will get. It is because in some people's mind she was placed above someone they like (here it was Donna, but other times they will talk about how she was "more" of something then the other person). The hate is because she was a strong independent woman who refused to take a backseat and some Doctor Who fans hate change which is really strange when you think about it because of all of the change that happens.

Eh, I've seen it as a more general dislike, it seems like to most people she overstays her welcome and begins superseding the doctor at some point. I pretty much agree with them, but I liked her at first. She was damn good in the beginning.

Makes a lot of sense to those who don't like her. There are gooc reasons for liking her, and really good reasons for not liking her

@@jessicaable5095 name 3

@ Jessica Able Yea, she really overstays her welcome. Plus, she kind of becomes the main character at one point and can 'do no wrong' even though several decisions were pretty asinine. Hell, a third problem is that she basically becomes the doctor at the very end with her own companion and tardis, and the story frames that as a good thing. Honestly, her arc should have ended with the shadow raven thing if they needed to have her on for so long. I get liking her in the beginning, hell, she's one of my fav companions based on this episode and Rings of Ahkatan, but as time goes on she gets worse and worse.

You mean She's too good for your stupid brain, yaa I get you, when people don't find anything wrong with somebady they Creat Things

Matt and Jenna have great chemistry, it's only after Series 8 begins people start hating Clara and I agree. If Clara left after TOTD, she would have been a great companion but instead Moffat ruined her

@@IlikeTrainsguy100 That's nonsense, her best work is in seasons 8 and 9, especially Face the Raven.

NPE 94 Agree!

lover her in this season, really like her in the next season, don't like her in her third season

Honestly, I have a love-hate relationship with her. I think she's awesome as who she is, and the chemistry is great, but I got uncomfortable when they started to kinda have this love subtext hovering around at some points. I'm like, noooo River is the best! lol. I mean sure, not romantic (though the writers got too close to that sometimes for me), but like, this deeper thing kind of like what was implied with Amy. I don't know, I feel like we just left and grieved over that, and I don't want them to make something more special than River after introducing River, know. And when there are moments where it seems like he just does what she wants without hesitation :/ and I agree she was around just a tad too long. Even the best of shows can ruin themselves with too many seasons, and that goes for characters as well. But her as a character was fun, and I loved the whole 'leaf' thing. Especially in the beginning she's great, and their camaraderie was wondrous fun. She just also always leaves me on the edge of uncomfortable.

So do I.

Same here.

He also played a Doctor in Curse of Fatal Death, the parody Moffat wrote in the early 2000's.

SPOILER: Clara has 36 episodes compared to Amy's 32, and with Clara's first and last non-cameo appearances aired 1076 apart compared to Amy's being 911 days apart. So Clara was slightly longer but not all that much.

Ok... Compare those with Bill, Rose, Donna and Martha.

@@jessicaable5095 Rose was in four seasons and there were 5 years between her first and last appearance. I am missing your point

@@somedudeontwitterstalkedme3829 Rose wasn't actually in series three though? Just mentioned. And she was only in a few episodes in series four. I mean, she may have had presense in all four series (1-4) by the way she brought up from time to time by other characters, but she wasn't in every episode, and there was a rather long stretch of time between series two and four when she didn't make a proper appearance. I'm fairly sure Amy & Clara were in more episodes than her. It's a little inaccurate to claim she was actually 'in' all four series, surely?

@@wishawasha9024 so, Rose appears or is mentioned in all four seasons, but it does not fit your narrative so it doesn't count? So how is it inaccurate to state if it is true? Asking for a friend.....

Respect you for saying it. I don't love S7B aside from the Eleventh's final three episodes, but it's nice hearing different perspectives and if you enjoyed it there is on need to justify it to anyone else, even if others shout loudly.

Rings of Akhaten among them?

@@karkatvantas9557 would you believe me if i said no

Just come from your live-stream 😂

This is hands down my favourite Christmas special.

Not gonna. She's awesome!

Same she’s totally one of my favourites

Taking Moffat's time only. Visually yes, theme-wise then no. S11 theme is just out of this world 😍

Already taken care of. Lono has made a version where you can't even see credits are meant to be there, no blur or anything. Except Matt and Jenna.

@@dylanshadowstar9779 Well, one of them is edited away by cloning the blank sky over it, the other is a 2-second cut that you won't notice, because the speed is adjusted.

@@jasonhowle1821 Patreon more than likely.

@@jasonhowle1821 It was confirmed by Lono in comments visible here on RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4Kp4D7uLp5M.html&lc=Ugzwl9nRF5tZ2zc9ar54AaABAg.8qAjfL4jnsd8qFUmul_C31

The orange/brass set for Smith was actually a rebuild of the Torchwood Hub set, which was next door to the original Eccelston one, and they just kept the original up, as well. This is why you see it again later. And it's why you don't see the Hub set in Miracle Day.

@@craigtcaster I know the Hub set was used for that factory in The Next Doctor. I haven't heard about it being used for the TARDIS set though.

I thought it was obvious 🤔 Some things you see coming and some things you don't!

@@inkeriananas How was it obvious?

@@Jimmy_Jones I think I just saw it coming because there was a pond and it was the reason for everything. So the word was already in my head.

Ghostfan I’m gonna have to 😂

@@btecbatguy5691 it's great for full length for me but you still have to wait another week after 😂

Dewey Talks oooo I might have to re watch emmerdale do you know what seasons

Kawii Crush no but her character name was called jasmine So just search Debbie and jasmine

Simply love that set, was very lucky to have a set tour & was just blown away by it. RIP Michael Pickwoad 😢

Needs some round things
