IS 11 REGENERATING!?! Doctor Who Season 7 Episode 7 "The Rings of Akhaten" REACTION! 

Episode 12 isn't on your patreon yet bro,when will it be available? Cant wait to see it man

This is still one of my top 5 all time favourite episodes. I watch it every year with my mom on christmas. Time of the Doctor (my favourite) is on New year´s eve.....

@@chanceneck8072 Same here. I love that, within the space of a minute, The Doctor - from 16:28 - first; quotes Muriel Rukeyser and then; does a quick Carl Sagan bit and moves swiftly and effortlessly to Lewis Carroll. What wonderful juxtaposition.

Where is episode 7 gone if season 5

A question for you is how do rockets burn in space without any air ?:-)

Luke Ayres I think that was intended by Moffat as a throwback to the Davies era.

@@the-youtube-enjoyer It would've taken 20 days to edit the ep

The events of Rose never happened at this point due to the reset of the universe

@@TeamTheme I'm not sure that makes sense as that is how Rose became the doctors companion and after big bang 2 in let's kill hitler the dr is in the tardis and the user interface (I think it's called) cycles through his (modern era) companions including rose, I don't think big bang 2 changed anything other than making Rory human and bringing back Amy's parents and the doctor and the only person capable of makes those changes was Amy due to being exposed to the cracks in the wall

@@TeamThemeIt isn’t that the events didn’t happen, its that the people of Earth no longer remember them.

Yeah but they wont use it. Never in thousands of years. 🤵🔥👨‍🔧

Just wait for it, lmao

Lewis Heald lmao, I knew it XD

@Benjamin Davis no shit

All of the hurt and regret that the Doctor has had since the beginning of New Who is enough that there is probably an amount of relief to it being consumed.

@Benjamin Davis I wouldn't describe that as Shakespearean tbh. It's an awesome speech, but Shakespeare has a certain feel and rythm to the words, and this speech has that down.

Tbf, I love his reactions because they're always based off something he's read into or foreshadowed, etc. They aren't baseless or random like many other reaction channels out there, which makes it pretty engaging to watch because it's like seeing the episode through an entirely different "what if" lens, even if the outcome of the episode remains the same.

yup up there forsure.

Definitely

12's response: "You call this a speech? This silly little thing?" etc.

Yes

Agreed

Well, that one in Pandorica Opens, wen he said something like "... Do something intelligent, and let others try first..." is just perfect! And then he can go out with a "Who da man??!!"...

LOVE YOU

I've sometimes thought so, too, but on reflection perhaps doing it this way round increased the tension. The leaf was "the straw that broke the camel's back", but would only work _after_ the Doctor had softened up the enemy. That softening up was crucial, because without it Clara's leaf wouldn't have worked on its own. It was the Doctor and Clara's teamwork that saved the day, if you like, not just the leaf.

Vitor Vidolin it does make sense tho because the doctors experiences are finite, whereas the leaf represents infinite possibilities and so therefore is more powerful as there were no limits on the stories and value and power it could absorb from it

@@obiwankenobi687 Tho that kinda feels like a cop-out. I would prefer the whole "straw that broke the camel's back" explanation more.

In the context of this episode alone.. yes, it does seem stupid. It SEEMS like Clara's shoehorned into it. The Doctor's very epic and brilliant speech would be a more poetic climax/resolution. But a few things to consider: --The point of the episode is that the Doctor = the sun god. The Doctor is "grandfather" (Susan's grandfather, and because he is old and ancient). The Doctor is also a parasite. He feeds off of the experiences of his companions (like how he told Amy that he keeps companions around for their experiences, because he himself can't see the beauty in the universe as easily anymore). He also often gets his companions hurt, scarred, or killed. He feeds on their lives just as the old god does. Clara even has to give up her mother's ring and the leaf, while the Doctor pretends like he doesn't have Amy's glasses (I don't think that the Doctor is an evil parasite, but that is the allegory). --The leaf is more powerful than the Doctor's memories. Why? Because the leaf caused Clara's birth, and Clara was split across the Doctor's timeline. Thus her existence is the Doctor's existence several times over. Again, this doesn't work in the context of the episode, but once you find out why Clara is "the impossible girl," you come to realize that it really is the most important leaf in human history (because without Clara, the Doctor dies, and without the Doctor, humanity dies).

Except it literally is the most important leaf in human history, as without it you wouldn't have Clara who would go on to do all the things later on in The Name of the Doctor and The Day of the Doctor.

I was looking for this comment. lol

The kids back in your day called a mic drop? Are you a time traveller from 2050, I thought mic drop was a modern thing. I'm joking, but I think the speech by the Doctor was amazing both well written and performed.

I don't like that he does that speech, he's so hurt and vulnerable and soft and then it's all over a god damn leaf... I'm like wow rlly

The leaf was just the final push.

and the music is just aaahhh

Dude this is my fave 11 EP. It's glorious. It's art. colours r gorgeous, acting is ace, the speech id staggering. I adore this ep

The eiaode is amazing, but I like to pretend it was resolved after the doctor's speech... Like, I get what they where going for, but for such an epic scene with the doctor it was unnecessary and kinda forced to push Clara in to take over the scene.

Matthew Bibby totally agree with you; i love that Clara has a big presence, and i think it really helped give her character a personality, but it should never compromise the doctor. In most recent years, the companions have had so much influence on the outcome of a story, and whilst they have always been a key part to who the doctor is, i think he/she should be allowed to shine so much more - this includes the excessive use of the sonic with Jodie, it completely defeats the sense that the doctor is the main source of knowledge

@@samkeir9212 I know this is a super late response, but I just had a thought - I agree it seems quite anticlimatic how the Doctor gives all his memories then Clara is the one who takes care of things, but if you think about it, it's only hinting at who she is. "I was born to save the Doctor". She's filling her role, the role only she can play, as the impossible girl. I think it works in that frame of mind. As well, I know Clara presents the leaf as infinite because of memories never lived, and so people argue, well, anyone could have given anything from someone who died. But I think it's more the point that she 'flew into this world on a leaf', so to speak... the leaf is her. And she's essentially infinite, before the events of 'the name of the doctor' conclude. She's thrown herself into the Doctor's timeline. If this leaf is Clara, then of course the sun can't take it. That's the way I justify the episode.

thank you fam! Appreciate you
