The Doctor vs the Foretold | Mummy on the Orient Express | Doctor Who 

Warsaw911 Don't forget, Jack! He is still wandering around in this universe

Stephan Stalheim but he died.. RIP The Face of Boe

@@Warzaw911 Jack's alive and well!

@@Warzaw911 You know... Jack and the Face of Boe do intersect, they overlap at times. Did Jack travel back towards the beginning of the universe at some point, maybe to see things he hadn't yet, either before or after becoming the Face of Boe?

@Dreaming Warlord And yet, at the beginning of Jack's run with the Doctor, at the end of Season 1, the Face of Boe is referred to as "The oldest being".

There's been other episodes where the doctor has claimed to be able to survive on very little oxygen. Including the ability to go into a special trance to increase this further. Of course... this was classic who... so the trance just looked like overdramatic hyperventilating. But I'd like to think the doctor could do that in this situation to avoid passing out long enough to get the machine working before any of the humans develop brain damage. (Which I believe would happen after about 6 minutes without oxygen based on first aid training I did years ago) So yeah. I'm a nerd. And I'm gonna own it.

There's a later episode where he eventually goes blind from lack of oxygen in space because he trades his air to a companion; a really cool nod to his breathing strength.

@@charlesshepherd7521 time lords have a respitory bypass that acts kind of like a natural rebreather. He cant do it for a very long time but it is neat way to avoid strangulation and no air to breathe

@@MatadorMedia I thought it was exposure, not lack of oxygen - then again it's been a while since I've seen that episode.

Definitely, understated thing really that Time Lords are much more physically resilient and powerful than Humans, as well as a hell of a lot smarter - and or at least capable of processing a lot more raw data.

"The Time Lord Victorious is wrong!" -Captain Adelaide Brooke, 2059

Well, he did it for the soldier, the soldier couldn't stop until given a perfect way to stop. And the Doctor did that for him.

He told the Anglicans to surrender to the "Kastarians" in Boom, too.

Truly touching scene

Was this the first time that the Doctor accepted a salute?

Daniel O'Connell Agreed

@@petersenior5432 It was too!

The salute was weak because the mummy didn't feel so good.

he is the 12th

@@SabirHussain-vn9hw Same thing..

@@SabirHussain-vn9hw ...

“Maisie Williams.” The Doctor turns around and looks at her incredulously lmao

@@bozotheclown_1993 maybe he was asking a question but forgot the question mark?

Consistency in character development. Yeah. Why not so many fans appreciate this?

Because Stephen Moffat sucks bring back RTD I eat bacon and eggs at dinner time herp derp

Hey! There's nothing wrong with having breakfast for dinner! Russell T. Davies, on the other hand...

***** Literally every main character introduced at the start of his run is dead now.

As long as she doesn't come back

Muuuuuummyyyyyyyy

Brilliant! 😂😂😂

Still the creepiest episode

I like to think the Doctor holds on to that as his happiest moment to remember. “Everybody lives Rose! JUST THIS ONCE!! *EVERYBODY LIIIVESS!!!*”

Are you my momy

Daniel Appleton Your right, there probably was barely anything left of him

Daniel Appleton Yeah I get it already

+TheGodlikeDragon but that mummy just salute to him and that means that he thanks to the doctor. he felt gratitude

Jacob Jacob You have a point Jacob

He's not the only one....

The man was living in hell for millenia, it was the least The Doctor could do to show acceptance for the dead man's gratitude.

Nine?

+Unknown Doctor 9 :)

evan fero Oh I get it now. Most people refer to them as "Ninth" and "Tenth", etc.

+Unknown I can't remember, did the Eleventh doctor do this?

UnityQuest Nope, the eleventh is the only Doctor who didn't reference the mommy episode.

Make that over a thousand!

If the doctor ever uses a face he’s seen before again he’d make a good one

@@DogsRNice Perkins for 14th Doctor!

@@SStupendous I accept

@@zperk13 Hehe!

I was SO convinced that Perkins was Gus when I first watched this episode

James Landon it's a reference to the 9th doctor and the lil kid it was funny lmao

@@whenjune2355 thank you Captain Obvious

Best line ever.

The happy speed he delivers it

He was like an electronic zombie. The Foretold's brain was probably a dust bunny.

ThioJoe Sorry but i still hate you ebcause of your speed up your internet video but stil i agree

This was my favourite episode in series 8 mostly because of this scene. His speech in the end is just like Sherlock, and Sherlock is just amazing.

I didn't know you were a whovian!

+ThioJoe Not really a villain, more of a dangerous victim.

+ThioJoe i think you mean fantasy not Sci-fi. The point of Sci-fi is that it can be explained with some sort of science instead of just saying 'magic'.

To be fair, he confesses to Clara that if that weren’t for her he probably would have just burnt through each of the passengers until that was his turn.

I liked the idea from his speech in a season-trailer that he would try to fix things or problems his former selves either created or couldn't fix, but he seldom delivered. Davros may have been one case, showing him mercy.

Possible future references with other doctors next time.

FoxIGaming of course it's one of the most iconic doctor who phrases

It's a good episode to call back to. I remember how happy Eccleston's Ninth was when he realised nobody was going to die. Eccleston was a great Doctor. Shame things went the way they did.

Green Whovian haha. New " guy".

I can't wait for Jodie's Doctor to use it. Has she already used it? I can't remember they have done a lot of referencing in the new season.

FZone96 I love that inside joke.

@@heroineoftime2876 The Doctor just love that line xD

We love our inside jokes

Now we need someone to ask the 13th "Are you my mummy?"

leading into the last one with "hello I'm the doctor and I will be your victim this evening." somehow just made it 10 times better. I suppose this demonstrates some of the beauty of having multiple actors play the same character: they can each take their own crack at running jokes XD

Yeah, that might be what the episode was trying to show: PTSD and how some people don’t even know it exists, the Foretold symbolises PTSD, when it killed people and no one else could see it, that symbolised ignorance, and the ending, where everyone can see it symbolises awareness, think about it. You can’t run away from the Foretold, just like how you can’t run from PTSD, and the people’s deaths represent the higher chance of a person killing themselves from PTSD, and the Foretold’s freedom represents getting help from others on how to stop it.

It is EXACTLY like that.

@@S-Fan2006 Wow, this really opened my eyes. Thank you.

1:13 The mummy is literally attracted to pamicked thought patterns. It's not subtle at all.

Also had to be relieved of duty by a superior like the last world war two Japanese soldier

You know he was waiting for that call of surrender, just from how he sighed after saluting the Doctor. Along with hearing a simple "You're relieved, soldier," before he disintegrated.

@@shadowstar8619 I wonder how much of the Foretold's brain, mind & memories were intact. Or if the tech was somehow making him act " alive ", going through the motions, etc.

​@@DanielAppleton-lr9eq He was obviously conscious enough to understand what the Doctor was saying, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped when he said, "We surrender."

@@shadowstar8619 Reflex. & if there was anything left of his personality, I'm sure that he wanted to be released from a Purgatory that he didn't want to be part of.

Many Japanese soldiers refused to believe their country had surrendered after the nukes and maintained their guard posts for decades after, fighting the war that was long lost. For one soldier, they had to track down his old commanding officer to relieve him of duty... 50 years after the war ended.

And Half-Face Man. "I bet you don't even remember where you got that face from." As Half-Face Man looks into a mirror that also reflects the Doctor's back to himself.

@@negamewtwo5535 "Who frowned me this face?"

Series 8 is so underrated. It is such a big improvement over Series 7.

The music immediately kicking back in will never not make me smile

+DrKnockers05 Exactly... Since the moment he stepped in front of Maisie and music started to play until the moment the Mummy reappeared - that was when Capaldi beautifully showed us he's the Doctor who saves people.

Laesele And he's only got better. Last night's episode proved that :D

Totally. I loved the last episode - as well as most of the 9th season.

For me it was when he saved Clara from them droids. " *his theme starts to play* HELLO, HELLO! Rubbish robots from the dawn of time!"

Formative 3D Yeah, that was a pretty damn impressive moment. For a second in that episode, you're with Clara hoping he's there. And just before you think he isn't, BOOM! "Hello, rubbish robots from the dawn of time!" But this scene is his first genuinely heroic moment. You almost see it in his face, like a switch being clicked. He decides, 'No. No more. It's my turn' and takes a chance. Add to that a creepy mummy, amazing music, and one hell of a performance from Peter, and it's Doctor Who at its finest.

thedoctorand 😂 9th doctor with the are you my mummy people😂😂😂😂

i see what you did there. now go to your bed

IKR??

The beautiful part about this one is how he says it all so quickly, he catches you off guard with it. "I'm the Doctor and I will be your victim this evening" only to then IMMEDIATELY say "Are you my mummy?" right after it.

Pheebs thats the 2nd time are you my mummy has been said ironically on accident!

That killed me!😂

Pheebs Swan Christopher eccleston refrence

no NMihaiV ....... i am YOUR FATHER!!!! ..... wait wrong fandom

Nooooo ! That's improbable !

Yeah i loved that season 1 reference!

Even after ALL THIS TIME, he STILL feels good enough about that victory to joke about it. Because, as he said so joyously at the time, EVERYBODY LIVES!

SUCH an awesome scene. Only the Whovians who didn't chicken out and skip nine understood that

I wouldn’t say the best but still well written

Just let down by increasingly poor stories and scripts

Xidphel Doctor: "hugh humans and their constant need to breathe"

Wait. Yes👀👀good spot

+MinecraftPro15 Missy?

yes!!!!!! i love how they linked it😂 and i love the "are you my mummy" :)

yup that's the one.

+Taylor Swiftie HA! I wasn't the only one who noticed!!

Larssonie Are you my mummy? -Gas Masked Zombies Episode Are you my mummy? - Ten to UNIT officer Are you my mummy? -This Episode.

@@69Mikage wXezc 👍😍

QFsez icslc👍❤️

Absolutely, he's my favorite side character in the whole show. Doctor: "Quick work, Perkins.. maybe too quick." Perkins: "Yes sir, I'm obviously the mummy!"

At ease, Foretold.

Funny, it reminds me of Wilfried Mott saluting

Honestly thought he was secretly Gus the first time of watching

o.o

Ethan Wood LOL

lmao

Yeah, also on 1:51 I see Dmitiy Mendeleev on background. I think the idea is - every scientist in this car is looks like one of the greatest scientists in the history

The real question is whether Gus pulled some of the most famous scientists in history (from our perspective) to work on the Foretold, or if those scientists were fans of the classic scientists and chose their looks after them.

perhaps the air was used to explode the train

@@paradoxica424 no, the Doctor tried to used the trains hardware to find out who organised the gatherings, making people find out what the mummy was. Gus blew up the train to prevent it from being revealed.

An explosion is the fastest way to remove air from the train.

+BackslideDan That's a very interesting theory.

+Doctor Forever my favorite series 8 episode too cause it's the one Peter Capaldi finally finds space to act as THE Doctor, he literally takes everything in his own hands. this is also what 12th Doctor is, he's never gonna tell you what his plan is unless the right moment comes.... till then you just have to trust him

wrong, child wrapped corpse not the same

​@@julieeverett7442they are not saying it's the same the doctor likes to reference himself Such as even in the poison sky when he is wearing a gas mask he goes "are you my mummy"

Listen was better in my opinion

David Harding Flatline and Listen were better

David Harding Flatline and Dark Water are better, in my opinion, yet this one is the proud number three on my list.

+David Harding Listen and Kill the Moon were the best episodes IMO the setting of this episode was great but anything else not.

Balloon Boy Yup. Tell me about it...

xdddddd

James R For many reasons, no.

wasn't it 9th??

*Ninth

smit1000 9th Doctor episode: The Empty Child & The Doctor Dances.

Yep that's the one 😃

And then 10 says it also Sadly 11 didn't say it

Yeah i saw that

no he is 12th you will not convince me of that monstourness, we all know the master has a, shall we say, somewhat informal relationship with the truth, why believe any of it!!!!!

YESSSSSS!!!!!

TBF shes super hot in every episode!

She is in every episode, but the outfit made it better

She always is, problem with that is it distracts me from whatever is actually happening lol

You mean because she finally showed some cleavage?

Lemonhead118 100% agreed on all of this.

Lemonhead118 I didn't know why I didn't like Listen very much, but I think I found out by what you just said. Thank you. :)

Lemonhead118 Listen? I mean, it is a good story, but now that you've mentioned it, you're right. But I mean, there had to be a sub-plot connecting that episode to the others.

Lemonhead118 reading a review of Listen is what made me start watching Doctor Who. I watched all 8 seasons in under a month and a half so that I could watch the Christmas episode. I actually ended up not liking Listen lol.

Brandon Ottinger It's the beauty of the show - it caters for everyone. There are many episodes I find dire but other's love and vice versa :)

Yup! Moffat did it that long ago

lordlossize GG Because the doctor is much more durable than a human.

It was also much more raw and recent to her too.

It picks a random eligible target, disregarding the degree to which they are eligible?

It's like when you're playing a video game-- you target the weakest ones first in order to whittle down the enemy's numbers as quickly as possible. You only focus on the big bad once you know you won't be distracted by the others.

Doctor. Timelord. Two hearts. Stronger. It picks off the weakest first. The old lady as 12 iirc says in the episode who went first would have died soon naturally anyway, then chef I think had a health condition. Until it got down to things like grief but as someone else said, Doctor is more durable and thus STILL stronger than Maisie. Plus even with Zygon episode he shows how that drives him to save people. And if anyone has got a problem with that, to hell with you!

I think he wrapped her up before going to the beach.

pokefire5 Well, yes. But still.

What are you trying to say by the way?

pokefire5 The message is that the Doctor and Clara have a much deeper relationship than you think, and this isn't the only evidence I have.

+Nicole Song WELL SHE'S DEAD NOW
