The Butterfly Effect! | PREVIEW | Space Babies | Doctor Who 

I miss Pete he was such a good character

Pete is my favourite companion

Who's Pete?

Pete don’t get the recognition he deserves, arguably best companion ever and people act like he never existed 😆😆

@Andrew_Kearney ...your friend, Pete!

Peter Capaldi.... am I just now realizing that he was made into a companion and then killed off within this dialogue? His ultimate fan dreams both fulfilled- to become a Doctor, AND a companion. XD

Pete will be dearly missed

Before people get mad that this wasn't possible before. Remember mavity. I don't think that would have happened either. Somethings going on and it's both Wimey and Timey

@@amelialikesfrogs5778 Mavity who?

That honestly gives 4th doctor vibes

Imagine if raining donuts

​@whophd Doughnut? What are doughnuts? Proceeds to scream. Oh look, it's raining again.

@@whophd

That'd be fun

Relatable.

Idk I feel like RTD seems to be trying hard to avoid leaks and spoilers. One thing I'm coming to appreciate about him is he knows how to hype up Doctor Who without ruining any big moments

Literally me just now. I really didn't think there wouldn't be huge spoilers here though, so I watched it hehe. It's trailers I avoid 100% now.

I was curious how woke it was going to be. Honestly wasn't surprised

@@JacksomLacke Okay, okay, okay... I'm literally done with you, guys :D What the hell was woke with this clip? The dinosaur is too brown for you? The trees are too green? What the hell is going on with this community.

Inb4 his name was actually Klingon this whole time

That's so funny 😂

No they don’t. Maybe they changed it back?

They also so

@@vitalishus They do for me lol

😂😂

What even is the lifespan of this kind of butterfly? It must have spent most of its life here in Doctor Who.

seriously they could of just animated it with special effects. Its really not that hard !

Coincidentally - I work in a building where huge beetles start scurrying around at night. If discovered, they run for the closest shade to hide in. Which is usually - under my shoes! What a survival strategy! Fortunately I am not creeped out by them running towards me, and avoid stepping on them.

That is a monarch, which lives for about three weeks most of the time and about nine months if it's of the migratory generation. I'm also rather sure that they didn't exist that far back, but it's hard to make a butterfly effect joke without a butterfly, and the monarch is a very recognizable species...​@@sheersternfeld1914

@@voltijuice8576 No this is a different episode. The Beatles episode is later in the season.... :P

well, it's what happens. every time the whole entire universe is rearranged. You see, in first timeline, Dalek are pink and quite elegant : "EXTERMINATE, if you may wish, thank you"

Calm your bouncy bust. I am sure this is all part of a story arc.

@@oomusd I think you're underestimating the implied consequences. If history were that easily changed that completely, the Doctor would almost never run into people who remembered his previous visits, because his adventures in other places and times would have changed history so that his previous visits never happened, or at least not the way he remembered them.

I don't think you understand the mavity of the consequences...

@@jameskuyper I think this may be something more central to the full season story plot. I think it DOESN'T happen like this ever and now it is. The "Mavity" bit with Tennant and Tate was our first hint of it. It's only the Doctor who notices the change.

Especially with remarkable sci-fi drama and comedy like in this preview. 👍🏻

Too bad she will be only in this season, she's leaving the show

@@dashtoroya2838 She will also be in some S2 episodes, but not all. According to rumors, she had a conflict with RTD like Eccleston (9th Doctor) had in the past. Someone said that "she was hard to work with". It's 2005 all over again ;)

⁠​⁠@@dashtoroya2838she’s not leaving nor will she be in just a few episodes as @inquerion8867 suggests. The BBC has said that the Doctor and Ruby will be joined by a new companion in Season 2/Series 15 played by Verada Sethu, they will be a TARDIS trio, RTD has also said Ruby will play a major role.

@@dashtoroya2838 She's not leaving. There's gonna be two companions in season 2 (one of them being Ruby).

They'll only remember for a few episodes...

Who's to say it isn't the TARDIS herself making the hinges squeak? She apparently likes her current shape enough to keep sabotaging her Chameleon Arch every time it gets fixed...

Thats the vibes im Getting.

Honestly this does not have classic who humor vibes either. It's something different

It has a perfect blend of what it was and what it wants to be.

@@hothemeep1219 for sure the way scripts are written nowadays are very different. Especially humor, But I mean just the weirdness vibe I’m getting. Classic who had some proper strange choices, and turning ruby into a bird lady right off the bat just feels like a classic who choice for me

It's Russell's classic style ​@@ham1sh99

Kirby and the Doctor save the universe by defeating the butterflies

Maybe they'll do that adventure time thing where they keep referencing the same alternate timeline until it actually becomes majorly relevant

Might see some 12 and 9 in his darkness

I'm so enamoured of him already. Can't wait to see if the writers can live up to his promise. They better not do him dirty like they did poor Jodie!

Or maybe he's his own Doctor.

and the depth of a pancake.

And he's got better Dancing Skills than the 11th Doctor

I miss Adric, Nyssa and Turlough Only knew about them 10 years but wish we got an alien

@@cunningsmile4166 I actually wish we had the butterfly version of Ruby as the companion, would be a lot more interesting

​@@MidnightChimeyYeah that would've been cool. Nothing about Ruby is standing out for me right now. We're told there's this bug mystery surrounding her but it's just kind of... meh.

Clara could never be that funny.

I thought Ruby turned into Madame Vastra... no wait, antennae, not a Silurian...

More like Donna.

Wow, hard disagree. I think Jenna Coleman's comedic acting is very underrated. She had great banter with Peter Capaldi.

I'm loving the accent.

Yeah. Poor mr. Bradbury, he will never be forgiven for that...

@@sabrinatirabassi3529 I don't think he ever existed...

Great story. I think it's at least 45 years since I read it but I've never forgotten it.

@@sabrinatirabassi3529 what's to be forgiven for? I'm not even sure if his was the first take on time travel consequences. Asimov had a short story about time travel experiment with a drone going backwards in time, with the scientist lecturing about it going through physiological changes without being aware that they occurred.

I remember that one! I like that they have it in the story, I remember it changed the language somehow, different spellings?

I mean, Ruby Sunday WAS erased from existence. That's what you just saw. From Ruby Sunday's POV existence ended in that moment. It's exactly the same as in the Christmas special when the goblins went back in time and made Ruby disappear in the present by eating her, only this time a replacement lifeform from the new fractured history happened to appear, and similar to Christmas I'm sure the Doctor will do something that restores history and by extension Ruby.

yeah like poor pete

@@HOTD108_ nope, the Doctor will not "fix" history. For now on, In every episode of Doctorr Who humans will be Bee colony #5737-74, every actors being costumed. They will be : "you are quite peculiar Dok-tah ! are you a weird termite ?" "-no, I'm an alien mammal" "-WHAT ?!!"

Very possible. Davies did mention something about pantheons and anything relating to the Pantheon of Discord would certainly qualify... and the Trickster did voice an intention to turn his eye towards the Doctor at some point, like he did in Turn Left, where his Brigade targeted Donna and used her to remove the Doctor from history. Maybe this Mastero character is another one of the Pantheon of Discord? I mean, it could make sense with the episode we'll see her in.

No more Timelords to maintain the web of time in the background (some numpty of a Timelord/old friend broke them ;) ). Poor Narvin .

There’s also the point from the 60th special about how the doctor enacted a myth at the edge of the universe so maybe that impacted the myth about stepping on a butterfly

Also 14 and Donna accidentally met Isaac Newtwon and helped him discover the word for gravity 😂

@@AdamAddictL What's gravity?

​@@AdamAddictLYou misspelled Mavity.

@@obiwankenobi687 Their decision makes some sense from the business perspective. A lot of potential consumers in America. I'm not sure if they can succeed though. 1996 movie tried to reach American audiences and failed.

@@obiwankenobi687 you're the most annoying type of person

@@obiwankenobi687 I think I'll trust the person who has actually seen the episode before you.

@@obiwankenobi687 Oh wow, I didn't realise you had seen the entirety of Gatwa's run as opposed to the rest of us who have seen 1 episode only (and the majority really liked it). Are you a timelord too then capable of time travel?

@@obiwankenobi687Nothing you have ever said is even remotely truthful and you know it. I’m sorry you never received your allocated braincells when you were born, but that is not our problem.

I thought of the same one immediately only to find everyone else talking about bill a d the doctor

@@MrGoldhandles A lot of people in the Who fandom seem to suffer from selective memory loss…

@@MaxCarnage1984 You literally got the doctor you are quoting wrong, it was the Twelth.

@@randomarcgunner4543 I wasn't quoting 12th you muppet. I was quoting 10th, from "The Shakespeare Code". Do your research before commenting next time.

@@randomarcgunner4543I wasn't quoting 12th. I was quoting 10th from "The Shakespeare Code". Do your research before commenting next time.

Yeah. I hope this has something to do with Mavity too.

My thoughts: A) Most of Doctor Who doesn't go hundreds of millions of years prehistoric - the further back a thing happens, the more ripples it has - and has went out of it's way at multiple points to minimize the impact/interference...unless another time traveller was changing things. And the future of Earth has changed several times due to the Doctor (Long Game) B) Time Lords and their TARDIS tech stabilized and directed Time in such a way as to avoid Universal decay/fragmentation (and to ensure their dominance and sometimes welfare of allies)... they're gone again. C) Creatures like the Reapers and Angels fed on and erased time, especially paradoxes...but aren't omnipotent and have lost some of their dominance/threat. E) As a Time Lord, the Doctor has had some ability to mitigate some of the changes to time...but they also threw salt at the edge...

​​@@elizawulf8180 This got cut off, please continue.

Is your brother George from Peppa Pig

@@djburke4314 idk maybe , he's like 5 years old and into guns and trying to pick a fight and he likes dinosaurs. Half of George lives in his mind and the other half lives Rambo

@@djburke4314 Everyone's brother is George from Peppa Pig most of the time.

And the fact that the Tenth Doctor never believed.

And Bill in Thin ice haha

And poor Pete. Erased from existence because Bill didn't look where he was stepping on.

Just wait until he faces the Daleks. Then we'll see how serious and deadly he can be.

I think that was the original idea for the Pete's World storyline, that the parallel world came to be because Queen Victoria was killed by a werewolf due to the Doctor and Rose's interference.

Thank you. I didn’t have cc on but I rewatched it with it just for this

But the monarch butterfly has only been around for two million years!!! Other than that, I have high hopes for the new Doctor.

Exactly what I was thinking since we see him holding the butterfly in a shot from the trailer

If the butterfly dying caused temporal changes without any paradoxes, then wouldn't just walking around in the past on any patch of ground or interaction with any form of matter do the same thing? Why extend this beyond scientific principles just to produce a comedic scene. This contradicts past doctor who logic, and is distasteful.

​@@JacksomLacke yet the 60th made this possible

@@JacksomLacke because the butterfly effect has been mentioned in Doctor who on multiple occasions where if you literally step on one there’s a possibility of you changing the past, they were throwaway lines until now

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@JacksomLacke going back into the past leads to no change in the future unless you try and prevent a fixed point in time

That's when you know it's good TV!

​@@AaronB453 fed

Oh crap baskets

More like both

@@shemdellashemygd29 Realy ?

​@@user-ih7mn8fz9j Yep he provoked a superstition at the end of the universe allowing the toymaker to come through. He can Bend reality to his will. Him coming through allows there to be fantasy elements but also childhood stories, mythology, godlike concepts ect.

@@shemdellashemygd29 oh, okay, thanks

Fantasy is fiction, though. Did you mean science-fiction? Technically, science fiction is just fantasy with some sort of space/technology theme.

Watch the classic series.

@TNJX I've seen alot of classic and all of New. This is continuing the greatness.

@@TNJX why would someone with a classic doctor as a pfp wouldn't have watch classic doctor who?

@@_smerte42 Exactly! 6 is my favourite doctor of course ive seen the classic series

@@JSP_1147 I'm more of a 4 person but 6 was super underrated

Bet he's remembering that conversation now...

@@katherinepurvin7802 😂

Then it was brought up in thin ice, nice try though 🤣

One thats tired and been repeated infinitum in all sci fi series since forever. Nothing new

No one missed the joke

@spiritreapr read the comments in the other threads, some look like they haven't got it

rtd2 in a nutshell

In all fairness, time as a plot element in Doctor Who has been kinda wishy-washy. I think the soft nature of the rules around time in the show (that also just so happen to give us a large variety of time travel-based shenanigans rather than a strict adherence to a specific kind) mean that most anything can happen anyway. I think as long as it's fun and doesn't detract from the main plot of the episode or the seasonal arc, then it fits just fine.

maybe it turns out that the Butterfly Effect has always been in play on the show, but the Doctor's just constantly crossing their own timeline quietly in order to undo the effects and it sorta cancels out. Well, except for Pete, I guess

Considering the number of times the series contradict itself in the last 60 years, it's not really a big deal honestly

just enjoy it and do not think so much about it. overthinking is the death of every fandom. especially doctor who which retconned itself multiple times. :D
