Doctor Who 9x11 Reaction 

This is the HARDEST reaction I have ever had to edit...I tried my best to get as much as I could in here. I ended up re-editing the entire thing over just to be sure it was okay. Hope you all like it :)

Alternate titles for this episode: 1.THAT episode of series 9 2.Peter Capaldi showing why he was born to be the Doctor 3. The episode with the really sick music 4. The masterpiece of Doctor Who

"We could argue for the rest of our lives about who's the best Doctor, but for me the best single performance in the role is settled. You can only ask a solo of a virtuoso, so thanks God and Scotland for Peter Capaldi." Steven Moffat.

One of the greatest episodes of all time imo, capaldi was unbelievable again😁

Personally, I think that it's a hell of an actor! God! I love every second of this episode.

“There’s this emperor, and he asks the shepherd’s boy how many seconds in eternity. And the shepherd’s boy says, ‘There’s this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it and an hour to go around it, and every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.’ You may think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird.”💙 It’s finally here, Capaldi’s best episode in Doctor Who History!

I love that we got to see the Doctor's Mind Palace and the fact that it's the TARDIS is so fitting, I'm guessing it's a reference to Sherlock and I'm sticking with that

Utter masterpiece. Writing, acting, editing, music, foley, set design... everything. Masterpiece.

I took the writing on his blackboard, re-arranged the letters to spell out "How many seconds, in eternity" and I have that as a tattoo. I loved this episode that much. :')

This episode proves that Calapdi is the best actor to ever been cast as the Doctor

This is another brilliant episode that shows Peter Capaldi's phenomenal acting!!!

Your emotional response is why I watch, your honest, a rare quality

heaven sent is one of those episodes i’ll never be tired of re-watching. the more you watch it, the more you realise just how clever it is and how much meaning it has. and the music to top it off in this episode is just beautiful. chris and david are like my childhood best buds and matt is amazing. but peter is genuinely my favourite of them all. amazing reaction!

This goes in my top 5 episodes of all time....pure art.

This episode is the greatest in Moffat's time as showrunner. It is just a masterclass in sci fi and doctor who.

Capaldi is my favourite Doctor as well!! I love him as the Doctor! ❤️

“you still won’t be there” broke me the first time round

One of The Twelfth Doctors best episodes !!. The story ,the atmosphere and especially Peter Capaldi’s performance is fantastic!!.

THE CURSE IS REAL. I'm glad you got the main reaction though!

This episode is a MASTERPIECE. Peter's arc from grumpy Series 8 Doctor to Series 9 is already so good. And he only gets better, honestly

Such an incredible episode. Wonderfully written, acted and directed with a fantastic soundtrack throughout. A beautiful metaphor for grief.

Capaldi's crowning achievement. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, we get "Heaven Sent". My gosh is it good! Am so excited to watch Shayla'a series finale reaction!

"I want revenge so much right now..." lol so much for Clara's dying wishes then, I guess.

Hands down the best episode of Peter's run and easily a top 10 episode In most eyes, it's seriously amazing! Edit: When you hear that first line about him never ever stopping you get real excited thinking he will get his revenge for sure, but once you realize he will literally never stop even for 4 and a half billion years it breaks your hearts knowing he cares for clara that much. Find someone that will do something even near a single percentage of that and you've got a keeper.

One of the best episodes of Doctor Who!! Peter's acting chops are fantastic!

So glad to hear that Peter may now be your favourite Doctor, to me, he is the most 'Doctor-y' Doctor out of all the new bunch. By which I mean he echoes or encapsulates the Doctors of the original series. More mysterious, otherworldly, unpredictable, crotchety, sharper wit than his more recent predecessors that he could have easily slotted into the original series lineup anywhere from the 1960s and 1970s. If you like Peter's side of the character then I really think you'll love the classic Doctors, especially the first four. I think many subs would love to see you dip into a couple of fan favourites from each.

When he said he would never ever stop you never knew how true that was

Got some great reaction moments in this one! "Are you gonna do what I think you..." **jumps out window** "...you are." "I hate that he's talking to himself..." **Clara shows up**

Welcome to being addicted to the Murray Gold piece "The Shepherd's Boy" from now on. :)

This is one of those episodes that DEMANDS a rewatch. You pick up on so much more when you're watching for the second time. The scene where he realizes what's going on is particularly impactful.

Its a tour de force - an absolute blinder of an episode - and a fantastic reaction that allowed me to relive it again. Thank you.

1:32 line "The Doctor will see you now" was used in first episode of 11th (11th hour) when he called the Atraxi to come back (if i recall it correctly)

The greatest episode in Doctor Who history, and one of the greatest pieces of television ever produced. Total and utter masterpiece.

HOW did you figure out it was a loop so fast!? And remembering the hand at the start of the episode! Nuts. You're so smart. I definitely felt for you when Clara showed up too and it really got to me when you said, "I'm so sick of seeing him hurt." This is my favourite episode of Doctor Who. :) Love it. When I first saw it, it was so odd that I wasn't sure how I felt about it because it was so different. The more I thought about it, the more I loved it. It's the kind of episode that I think only Doctor Who could do.

This was the episode that made Capaldi my favorite Doctor. We should also give a shout out to Rachel Talalay's amazing directing.

Shayla is SO cleaver for noticing from the beggining it was a loop. And it's just the 2nd time for what I remember that she figure out an complex puzzle before it even been revealed.

This was by far one of my favourite episodes of Doctor Who ever, and I have been watching for a very long time. Capaldi's performance was spot on perfect in this.

This is my favorite episode of all time. Personally, I think that's a hell of a bird. That indeed is.

It's amazing how much I loved this episode, when it was basically just Capaldi the entire time. Really shows how great of an actor he was..I can't wait to see your next reaction, it's gonna be so good!

The music for this episode is really a Piece of Art of its own! God, I miss Murray Gold....

I've been watching Dr Who since Jon Pertwee and have a load of favourite episodes but i was never able to pick just one as my absolute favourite until this episode aired. In my opinion it's a masterpiece and Peter Capaldi is just fantastic. Great reaction as always Shayla.

Capaldi was already a top contender for favorite Doctor by his fourth episode, this episode solidified it. Absolutely loved his portrayal of The Doctor and his blend of what I felt was New and Old Who. He's already missed, I really hope he does some Doctor Who audio-dramas

This is the masterpiece of Doctor Who! Everything was done so so right. The score, particularly! Only Capaldi could have done an episode like this. He absolutely owned the screen the whole time.

I remember feeling so devasted after Clara's death. I forced myself to get on with it and was in awe of the genius behind episode

The music in this episode is amazing 'Breaking The Wall'

I loved the music that played as the Doctor's getting through shattering the diamond.

Finally, this is one of my favourite episodes.

Seen Most of Classic Who and all of New Who and this is my favorite episode Capaldi to quote another Doctor is Fantastic.

Peter Capaldi is an amazing actor, he plays a phenomenal role so perfectly it makes you fall in love with him! He is by far, my favourite doctor, and I grew up watching Eccleston and Tennant! Great reaction as always, I always look forward to watching your videos Shayla!

This is what you get when EVERYTHING is on point. Writing, Directing, acting, music....EVERYTHING is absolutly perfect on this episode. It is just amazing to watch. And it is even further improved by being watched directly after the harrowing episode before it.

Shortlisted for an Emmy, totally should have won one. Absolutely sensational.

One of the greatest episodes of Doctor Who and one of Capaldi's best if not THE best!

Congratulations on just-about beating the Heaven Sent curse! I'm just repeating what everybody else is saying, but for me this is the very best episode of Doctor Who ever. And your reaction to it is wonderful.

So many similar feelings to when I first watched this one. Definitely one of my top Doctor Who episodes of all time.

Wonderful reaction. It was interesting to see you work out what was happening and your realization of the ongoing loop the Doctor was experiencing but not remembering but have to work it out on each individual loop. Watching this episode multiple time only enhances it.

The best acting performance of the modern era, in my humble opinion. "Personally, I think that's one hell of an actor"

10:02 that face when you realize it was a confession dial in the literal sense

Dropped everything I was doing when I got the notification. Personally, I think this is one hell of a reaction!

4:12 "is this a loop?"... definitely the earliest Ive seen that called

Lol, obviously an amazing episode and reaction, but I can't be the only one who wonders where all the chairs in the sea are?

This is my favorite episode of modern Doctor Who, hands down. From Peter Capaldi's brilliant acting to Murray Gold's breathtaking score (I think "The Shepherd's Boy" is the best track he has ever composed), this episode IS Doctor Who and made Twelve my second favorite doctor (in a close second to Nine). I am so happy you enjoyed it

The last 3 episode of this season really broke my heart. I'm glad to know i'm not the only one

Fantastic Episode. Fantastic Music. More Fantastic Capaldi. And another fantastic reaction, thank you!!!!!

Your expression in the thumbnail is the perfect summary of the episode.

And there's one of the best episodes of all Doctor Who history. Plus one of Murray Gold's best works. Audience, get ready for Shayla's heart to get ripped out in the next episodes!

Just when you think your in for an emotional episode of grief or an episode of watching the Doctor come down on his enemy like a ton of bricks, you feel like you were politely handed this gem of an episode where you are truly are made to feel the true amount of despair FOR the Doctor as he comes and goes for millions of years only briefly realizing each time.

Capaldi is my favorite, definitely. Just love his Doctor, and the fact that he has such fantastic chemistry with my favorite companion doesn’t hurt either. ;)

I adore this one. I think the crew who wrote it did a fantastic job of displaying the timelessness of grief and how you live with it in isolation all your life, while trying to live at the same time. And that part "The day you lose someone isn't the worst..." to "It's all the days you live without them" has to be the most powerful I've ever cried. It's so true.

One of the greatest episodes of the show IMO. Also, wow, you started to catch on when we saw the skulls! Props for figuring out before a lot of us had Edit: you at least started to get the idea then

The first time that The Doctor was stuck in a "Time Loop" was with the 4th Doctor Tom Baker, in the episode "Meglos". Capaldi though had a much more tougher way to get out of it! Capaldi went above and beyond what any other Doc has done for his companion!

As a friend of mine puts it when asked who's her favorite Doctor. "The current one." Speaking of current, Current Shayla needs to write a note for Future Shayla to tell her it's going to be OK when the regeneration happens. It's happened before. It'll happen again. Companions come and then they go. The TARDIS keeps getting redecorated and the past Doctor doesn't like it. I find it funny when get overwhelmed with the feels and yell that you give up on the show and can't take it anymore. And then you post another review. For Current Shayla and Future Shayla, deep breaths. It hurts for a while but you'll recover from it.

One of the best episodes! Twelve is everything I want to be when I’m an old man.

The music in this episode was amazingly beautiful... And makes me cry. Not just because of this episode.

Hybrid half timelord, half dalek. The doctor has been called “A Good Dalek” multiple times.

And welcome to one of my favorite episodes! When this one came out I was actually thinking of dropping Doctor Who but this saved me (and looking back S9 is in my top 3 of doctor who seasons)

I'm so happy you did this episode and watched them all in a row, it's such a work of art this show lol.

I've such a Classic Who Nerd, so you know how strongly I feel about this episode when I say that this is my favourite Doctor Who episode of either of the 2 runs. I remember on 1st watch the slow realisation of what was happening, followed with the impact of Thousand years becoming Millions and then the incredulous Billions. Great Sci-Fi, My mind was blown. I re-watched straight away (I never do that) and watched a totally new story. I re-watched again recently for the first time in a few years and with some life experience under my belt and watched a 3rd story about Grief. That line about, The day you lose someone isn't the worst, it's all the days they stay dead..... Damn that hit me hard. This could be my favourite episode of any TV Show.

That was absolutely amazing, I have been waiting for this episode for so long and I was not at all let down. I honestly consider this to be a television masterpiece. The fact that the whole episode was essentially a monologue absolutely blows me away - you are absolutely right about 12 stealing the room whenever he talks. I love the other Doctors too, but nobody can command the audience like 12 does. And his progression, you hit the nail on the head, 12 has had the best character progression I have seen in a long time - I think it's quite similar to the calibre that Walter White has if you've seen Breaking Bad - not in style, but in substance. We first see this grumpy arrogant man who is clearly so uncomfortable in his own skin, but look at him now. Clara has been absolutely essential for 12, as a friend and a companion - he needed her, like really needed - I don't think I realised that until this episode. Remember when he wanted do know if he was a good man? he not only forgot who he was, but why he was doing anything, or how to feel. Clara and his relationship is incredibly intense, you would have definitely seen that in the next episode. There relationship is to intense that he literally cannot function properly without her. The closest we have got to something like this was Timelord Victorious with 10 - largely because he didn't want to die. 12s motivation is absolutely... Hell Bent.... on Clara and Clara alone. He put himself through all of that so he can get to her again. These is something about a relationship like this, so powerful and all intense, that is not sexual that I find absolutely amazing. They are addicted to eachother, and you can tell that the actors are really good friends too (when you've finished with 12 I'll suggest some RU-vid videos of the two of them being interviewed together). Some little tidbits about the episode. - 12 painted that painting of Clara - the room resets aren't perfect, if something happened enough times, the room would reset with the addition. So he painted that painting thousands of times until it became a permanent addition. This is also how the clues like "I'm in 12" got left. He put them thete - In the confession dial, the Died about 12 trillion times. TWELVE TRILLION! - In the earlier loops, he hadn't left any clues yet, so he spent months trying to find the way out. Months and Months of having to run every 50 or so minutes to the other side of the Castle. This was a fantastic reaction, that you so much for putting yourself through all that emotional distress for our enjoyment :)

Smith is my favorite Doctor, but in my opinion, Capaldi's era is the most consistently great. You can tell Moffat and the writers were rejuvenated with Capaldi.

This episode. This. This is a work of art. It's one of the best episodes, in my opinion, of television I've ever seen, and Capaldi's performance, just Capaldi, was fantastically amazing. And the music at the end is one of my favorite pieces of all time. It's all phenomenal.

This is my favorite episode of Doctor Who ever. There is so much subtext in this episode. Part of it is a love story, a revenge plot, but to me, it's a great metaphor about grief. "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." That line has always stuck with me. I lost someone very close to me a long time ago and the days after their passing where taken up with making plans, calling family members, closing up their affairs, etc. By the time I had free time to think about how I felt about it all, too much time had passed. It would have been improper to bring my feelings to family members who were processing too. The cold that settles in when you realize that in all days that are ahead they'll still be gone.

And yet there is more amazing stuff from Capaldi coming up, he really is The Doctor

The idea for the monster in this episode actually came from Jenna Coleman. In an interview she was asked what she thought the scariest villain was, and her reply was that she thought the scariest villain would be something that comes at you very slowly, it's unstoppable, and there's no way to escape from it: it just keeps coming at you, but very slowly. Moffat heard her and thought, "Huh," and filed it away.

Probably one of the best episodes ever. So amazing! Good on you for barely avoiding the curse.

This is my favourite Doctor Who episode. Capaldi is such phenomenal actor and with amazing scripts he shines.

"Hello again. No more confessions, sorry." ♥

Thanks for sharing your raw emotions with us. That’s what we enjoy watching, and being able to relive these moments through you. 😊

“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.”

Two Shayla's in one video, what a great surprise, thank goodness for camera fails. So glad that even despite the tears, you could still appreciate how good this episode was. Capaldi's run as the doctor really shows where Doctor Who has come, series 1 with burping bins, series 9 complex layered character pieces with time loops. Glad you really liked this episode :)

Don't forget to watch the christmas special of season 9 ! You'll like it !

Never clicked faster for anything before in my life.

I love this episode, and I love your reaction, especially to the Bird payoff. It’s a journey into the Doctor’s mind, and a tour de force from Capaldi. Did I say love already? Love.

My grandma likes to tell that Brother's Grimm story so I was so excited when it finally clicked for me what we was doing.

Capaldi is My Doctor. And this episode is one of (many) reasons. A true classic.

YES!!!!! This ep is one of the berst ever in Nu Who!!! OMG! Capaldi does a SUPERB job in this ep with just himself. You see his wide ranging acting skills! I cannot wait for the Next ep! Your reactions are gonna be priceless!!!

Say no words. That means you completely in the show. Best reaction ever.

One of the best episodes I've ever seen in all of Doctor Who, I would even dare say, one of the best stories I've ever seen on television history due to the complexity involved, the poetic nature of it, the personal conflicts and resolutions it generates about us and the Doctor's storyline, the fact it can be seen as a debate between depression/oppression vs endurance/freedom, the cleverness of playing with all the elements, the fact that it can be seen as a great standalone, the acting involved, the monologues, the fact that it's a great mystery (which Doctor Who should often be)... I could go on all day. This episode is a wonderful and rare piece of television art imo.

That's a hell of a bird.

i love chris because he did so much in one year.and his bond with rose,and you really felt it when he died.every one else had 3 years to make you fall in love with them. plus he brought back the franchise and got a whole new generation to watch. all of this is a hell of a lot to do in 1 year.

Amazing reaction as usual! It's so comforting to see you've grown to love the Twelfth Doctor so much. If he isn't your favorite now, he'll most certainly be after next series! :D
