@@thejellybeangamer3284 i had the same fucking question. I like the reveal but like i was like tf? I have my heard of the Orions and no wonder I heard the pyramids arc of the 4th doctor weren’t that great meaning that ofc sutekh was gonna be lost with it
@@grandmasteralan137 bro pyramids of mars is considered to be one of the best classic stories and Sutekh one of the best classic villains. No one who hadn’t seen the classics really knew who Davros was before RTD bought him back so maybe just wait and see lol
@@Delano72An explanation to the how was given. He attached his essence to the TARDIS. The only question mark is when. The "all this time" comment would suggest since the Pyramids of Mars. (My theory is that it was when Sarah saw Sutekh's projection in the TARDIS, as his new appearance is reminiscent of what she sees and it just seems like the most seamless opportunity storywise). Alternatively, the fact he hid "in the howling void" lines up with his last appearance in the EU, when he was left in the void.
I remember seeing Pyramids of mars as a kid in the Late 70's.... Scared the living shite out of me. Spent most of it hiding behind the couch. Then I saw it a few years later as a teenager, no where near as scary. Now, in my mid-late 40's I respect how great a story it was and the costumes were brilliant, but I still remember how scared I was, and now I consider this to be one of the best Dr Who episodes ever.
I Love the fact that the organ continues to PLAY as Ibrahim gets up. Notice him look at his hands almost in surprise. You know shit is real when it continues its tuene.
Sutekhs outfit in this scene is class, the metallic cloak, gloves and black helmet with tinted eye visors plus the smoke as he walks down, still as dark today 46 years on, the organ music and metallic baritone voice just add to the atmosphere of the scene, if the wife wore this you would do as you were told or get a smokey shoulder massage!!!!😂
My Mum loved Sutekh cause he treated the Time Lords as annoying flies buzzing around. It's about time the Doctor went up against someone far more powerful than him.
A showrunner/director who lies is my favorite kind. You should NEVER tell your audience what's actually going to come, keep surprises actual surprises. I can't stand media/people who always demand to know things ahead of time. So happy that RTD didn't tell us anything.
I love it how the Organ keeps playing AFTER Namin moves away from it. Yeah I do think they could definetly do something like this in the new Dr Who. BUT... this version of Doctor who had half hour episodes and the new Dr has a lot less time to do a lot more. I think it would be VERY hard to get a satisfying episode out of Sutekh within that time. Imagine Genesis of the Daleks playing out in one episode. It would be a turd.
I think this is where the newer Dr Who has gone astray. The pacing often seems artificially breakneck, as if they're trying to cram maximum event density into each episode, if possible telling the entire story in one hour. Whereas more modern US tv programming (for example) is using the medium for longform storytelling, allowing much more attention to building atmosphere, development of peripheral characters etc. This is somewhere Dr Who really used to score. And could again...
At some point a repeat of Pyramids of Mars was shown by the BBC,which wasn't case with most of the stories. My sister told me that our tabby cat,whose name was Baggins (after Frodo,even though she was a female cat!),started purring when Sutekh was tormenting and belittling the Doctor in a later scene.
@@mpittard21 Same difference. IT did have a small renament of Scarmans memories and had his form and even Sutekh referred to it as Scarman a few times.
So everyone - when I was a kid late 80s, my local library had a few VHS of Doctor Who episodes. One of them was Pyramids of Mars. I borrowed it and watched it several times over. So Mr Davies, you Sir, are a genius!!!!!
The Cliffhangers at the end of Part 1 in each story. We were mystified by the giant hand reaching in and taking the Tardis - it was more of a WTF moment for us,and there was a whole week to puzzle how that could possibly come to be until we found out.
@@markfox1545 I'm afraid that after season 13 ended, with the brilliant "The Seeds of Doom"; I only watched Doctor Who sporadically and have no clear/fond memories of any particular story after that - I just grew out of it I suppose. I'm know I still watched a few Tom Baker episodes here and there as I can remember K-9, Leela & Roman, but I know for a fact that I never watched it again after Peter Davison became the Doctor. Such is life...
I get the feeling a lot of people will be viewing this now. As for me? Glad to see the God of Chaos back but I do love some Pyramids of Mars and Osirans.
True - but overall I think that there are more horrific deaths in the classic era: resurrection of the Daleks had a higher body count than the terminator!
I'm forty nine and a half and it scares the shit out of me still! I remember this when it was first broadcast, and I remember being terrified to leave the safety of the family in the light of the living room and go upstairs to bed in the dark -the dark that is the domain of Sutekh.
I have to agree. When I first saw this story I was shaking with terror. Not just because of the scary things that did happen in the story like this scene, but because of the fact that Sutekh is described as all powerful and that not even the time lords could hope to stop him. The possibility that Sutekh couldn't be stopped if he got free was absolutely terrifying to me.
@@markfox1545 haha it sounds like he’s saying he’s a 34 year old child or something. He probably started out in his head “scared me as a kid and still scares me now at 34” but just lost train of thought lol
For the spoilers revealed in the latest episodes, the best answer for who the hidden guy who scares even the Toymaker would’ve probably been Sutekh or Fenric. Certainly one of the most iconic one-off villains.
RightEyeRaptor Holy crap that moment shocked me, the rest of the episode was pretty mediocre which I think contributed to how out of place it was in a relatively family friendly show
@@TheZodiacz- pretty grim. As they are running towards the Tardis, they are ageing. Constant cuts between them as the Kembel sand and wind howls shows her older, before she falls, too old now to continue. She calls for help, it doesn't come, she collapses face down. And when it's all over, there's just a small pile of clothing and bones left. It really upset me at the time (aged 10 or so!).
The perfect prelude to “The Legend of Ruby Sunday” featuring the 15th Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa), Ruby (Millie Gibson), Dr. Kate Lethbridge-Stewart (Jemma Redgrave) and Mel Bush (Bonnie Langford).
No wonder why Tom Baker's era is my favorite. First of all I grew up with it.. but I didn't realize that the writers and producers took a drastic turn towards darker more Gothic subjects during this time until I started doing a deep dive on Tom Baker. Definitely the best era. Too bad the oldies put the Kai Bosch on this approach.
@ Toonsis - That can get you into trouble tho. My date : "Oh Michael, this has been a really lovely evening. Where do you think... I mean where do you see our relationship going?" Me : "Kneelll... before the might of Su-Tekh!"
When the New Who goes to the source material...it's just better because it's creating a whole timeliness that we follow along with it. It's amazing that I'm 19, yet the original show will always fascinate me because of the psychological aspects, but amongst other things, the theory of time and space. Amazing show and story telling.
They need to bring back the classic enemies for the 13th doctor last season, Sutekh and morbius and omega from the jon pertwee/peter davidson era of classic doctor who
@@marcse7en yeah, okay, if I look through the back catalogue of Dr Who creatures and costumes I'll probably end up saying the Autons are the biggest fashion house in the galaxy. ;)
@@originaluddite Being a massive fan of Classic Dr. Who, and a lover of shiny PVC and rubber, the Nestene Consciousness' affinity for plastic always intrigued me, because of my own affinity for plastic! "Pyramids Of Mars" was Classic Dr. Who at its best. I saw Sutekh, the Mummies, and Sutekh's Servant at the 70's Blackpool Exhibition! And, a friend of mine here in Lancaster had the actual helmet that Sutekh's Servant wore in the show! Don't know how he got it, or if he still has it.
I saw this classic story when it first aired on tv at the age of 6 and now I am in my early 50s I do not find it at all scary like I did in 1975 when I was only 6 and in primary school
