‘How long can I keep doing this Clara? Burning the old me to make a new one.” He’s not just talking about the situation he’s in right now, he’s talking about regenerating too. Clever writing.

This is the episode where Peter Capaldi really shines as the 12th Doctor and one of his very best episodes but one you have to watch more than once to completely get what's going on.

Doctor Who changed my life, but this episode defined it. I'm suffering from depression for 30 years now, and this is exactly how it feels. Punching through a diamond wall, hunted by your nightmares, haunted by pictures of those you lost without being able to talk to them, repetitive misery every day and starting over again and again, basically killing your former self to reinvent yourself constantly. But my silver lining is the whole Brother's Grimm story about the bird and the shepherd's boy, which is printed on a poster in my bedroom. I might be a bear on the outside, but the little bird is my patronus. Oh, and I loved that you enjoyed the soundtrack, since imo this is the best score Murray Gold has written for the series.

For me, it's the line about the day of their death not being hard, but all the days they stay dead that gets me. 30 year anniversary of someone's death this week, so I think maybe that's why I am crying again. I thought this visualization, of the entire episode, of grief was brilliant.

Whovians tend to remember even the smallest details that most people either forget or miss altogether.

Probably the best ever episode of Doctor Who. Can't wait for the finale!

Yeah that was Galifrey at the end, you were right. I swear only Peter could carry this whole episode on his own and make it so emotional, yet so victorious. This episode feels like a brilliant exploration of grief and makes me so emotional to watch it. The veil, the creature thing, feels like a manifestation of grief, and the Doctor never being able to escape it but having to just overcome it and break out of that cycle of grief really connects with me. I'm so glad this episode reminded you of your Auntie, because as much as it was clear it hurt, it is also clear she means so much to you and being able to be reminded of those we've lost is how we keep them alive. I'd definitely recommend watching this again if you ever feel emotional, I've done so and it really hits. This episode is one of my strongest reasons Peter Capaldi is my favourite Doctor. I hope you recovered and wish you luck for the next episode (and honestly probably the one after that as well lmao)

Brilliant episode, Peter did a really great job carrying this on his own.

This episode is just exquisite. Has there ever been another DW episode with just the Doctor? Capaldi is just masterful at carrying this episode. It takes a very special and talented actor to be able accomplish what he did here.

Capaldi’s remarkable performance, his sublime dedication to this role as well as him spreading kindness and encouragement through the fandom helped me to go through some really tough times in my life. He will always be my Doctor and I will always be grateful to him. As they say, thank God and Scotland for Peter Capaldi!

Truly a tremendous feat for an actor to carry an entire episode by themselves, it's yet another reason I really love Capaldi as the Doctor, and why he became "my" Doctor. Murray Gold did a wonderful job with the music as well.

Aside from that one line from Clara, this episode was all Capaldi. The background music is incredible, too. Definitely my favorite episode ever!

When I tell you I have been WAITING for this reaction since I started watching your doctor who reactions...omllll I love this episode. This is my favourite episode, and right after such a good send off for Clara too 🥺

I'd buy a "hair flip" and "bloop" shirt. Especially a Doctor Who themed one!

This is a television classic. It’s such a brave episode and it works.

"It’s funny. The day you lose someone isn’t the worst - at least you’ve got something to do. It’s all the days they stay dead." One of the truest statements I've ever seen in media.

Magnificent Performance Not many actors Are good enough To carry an episode On their own

This was one of the best episodes in Capaldi's era. The next one is really good too, though I won't share spoilers.

Rachel Tallalay directed this i think. She's wonderful (she did the series 8 finale too). She's confirmed to be back directing doctor who for the 2023 series which is great news.

One of my favourite episodes

Just this week i received a notification on Tweeter about an article that called this episode "The show that changed Sci-Ci forever". The article cites a few phrases like "I just watched my friend die painfully. My day is already very bad, let's see what I can do about yours", the loop that instead of the situations in other Sci-Fi is not a time loop, he doesn't go back to the past, just relives his experience but time keeps moving forward, as well as the emotional music of Murray Gold as some of the things that make this episode great. I don't know if it changed Sci-Fi, but I liked the article. On a side note, I think no one makes threats like The Doctor. Whether it is "Good men don't need rules, today is not a good day to find out why I have so many", or the line in this episode that ends "let's see what I can do about yours", I'd be dead scared if The Doctor threatened me.

Seems like I've caught up with reactions already and it has been a great journey! Now I will always have to wait for a new one😅

This is my favorite episode. The best in the entire franchise, if you ask me.

Andres, your comments at the end perfectly sum up why we all love Doctor Who. As you said , it’s so much more than just words. Thanks for articulating why we love the show and your channel.

As another unrelated comment, that final song as we went through all of the doctors death as he's telling the story of the boy as he breaks the wall, It's called Shepherd's Boy and it's a masterpiece

Thank you for sharing your story with us. Love from Belgium.

My favorite episode of Doctor Who. A masterpiece.

!! KUDOS !! From Canada.....be ready because The Doctor is home !

Im unsure if it was explicitly said in this episode, but the Doctor painted the portrait of Clara.

Once you realize what the Doctor is doing in this episode, it becomes mind-blowingly awesome... 😅

OMG, this episode also brings me to tears. Only Peter Capaldi's 12th Doctor can carry a whole, full episode by himself. I can't see either of the others do that in such outstanding way. And your reaction was fantastic. IMO, you'd be great as a Doctor Who villain, but also as a modern take of Captain Jack Harkness 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

It’s mad how far we’ve come since that one episode about plastic coming to life 😭😭

…you could be a ‘blooping angel’, senor andres!

my 2nd favourite episode of doctor who. an easy 10/10. everything is perfect! good mystery, great acting, great direction, great music, beautiful themes.

This episode is rightfully held up as a masterpiece of writing and acting, which it is. But I'd like to give a shout out to the masterful editing. It's not easy to clearly explain what's going on here, but that montage of the Doctor slowly punching through the wall communicates perfectly and understandably this complex cyclic event passing over thousands of years. As an editor myself, I can tell you that this is not an easy thing to do.

I did remember Rigsy, but I don't watch and produce reaction videos on dozens of other shows, either! I don't even necessarily just watch a lot of other shows. With the amount of different stuff you must have on your brain and requiring your focus and attention, I think you deserve a standing ovation for keeping track of even half of what you watch/react to, day in and day out.

This episode is just...

Capaldi should had get an Oscar for this episode!!!

This episode is even wilder when you realize that from this point on the doctor we see is just a copy of the original. He died in the confession dial

*Ah, yes: the greatest thing ever put on TV.*

My favourite episode of all time!

SO glad you're enjoying Capaldi's run... Of the New Whos, he is (so far, anyways) my favouritest (it's a word, or should be at least! :D ). He definitely packs a (verbal) punch! ;) I love the music suite in this episode. Onwards! :)

It's great your genuine reaction to this. It's an important episode, and Capaldi made it great! Also, I'd love to see you as a Who villain! It'd be so much fun!

Thank-you, for the Douglass Adams Day Present of reacting to my favourite Doctor Who episode. 💕

Peter Capaldi is love, Peter Capaldi is life..

Yeah, this episode still hurts. Hits me hard every time. I did remember Rigsy, but I also remembered that one random line from the First Doctor's first story about fear making companions of us all that Clara called back in "Listen" so take that for what it's worth. 😃

My God you are fab u lous. I am sure you could be on the New Doctor Who with Ncuti Gatwa. He is the amazing Scottish Rwandan actor who is going to bring his brilliance to the role. It's amazing to think how many Scottish actors have played the role. If you want to play a villain, you could bring all your El Rey drag vibes to the role.

Great reaction Andre

One of the all time brilliant episodes of all of who and its even more impressive when you realise the entire episode is just the Doctor by himself, the only other entity really is the hooded figure but they don't really do anything, the entire episode is held together and elevated by Capaldi and his fantastic performance. He's truly one of the best actors to ever play the Doctor. As for the last episode I remembered who Rigsby was. However I love the episode Flatline and think its one of the best episodes in season 8

MY Doctor....

I was going to gush over how great this episode was, but then I would just be saying what has already been said… But this is a pretty great episode. Generally from what I’ve seen from critics when they rank the New Who episodes, this episode generally ranks 3rd behind “Blink” and “The Doctor’s Wife”(and no, my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the critics). Curious to see how others rank their top three

The best episode from the best doctor.

So this episode is often considered Capaldi's best, if not the best of Doctor Who. However as I'm writing this... HE may show up again, whose He? A user called Justsomerandomguy online. I haven't seen him in a while but he's known for being a Moffat hater and goes under all Heaven Sent reactions telling people that they are wrong and this actually the worst episode ever. If you see him, well that's up to you

Great reaction to a fantastic cinematic episode! Don't forget to please react to the first episode of the Doctor Who spin-off "Class" after the next episode (and before the two Christmas specials). It ties into plot threads from the episodes you are currently watching.

The Time Lords Trapped the Doctor Inside in His confession Dial and Turtured him For over 4 bil years To find out who the Hybrid Is

I've been waiting for you to get to this one. Can watch this episode on a loop and still love it. Side note - get to the later seasons of torchwood! Totally different vibe than the first ones.

The GOAT episode

Andres you effect people's lives doing what you do. No care ( hair flip ) if you lose the plot sometimes. I have confidence you will find that acting role you deserve and be famous soon.

Next Hell bent And The Husbands of River Song

I need a HairFlip mug! Or one with your pucture on it and God Save the Kween! under it.
