The Thirteenth Doctor went through A LOT. Seeing Fourteen feeling guilty and angry because of what she dealt with was heartbreaking. Far too many people dismiss her time in the role but I enjoyed it.
@@MrSamstackz Russell confirmed that this was the only scene filmed and that we won't see Wilf on screen again. Apparently he will be mentioned and the character okay but we won't see him 😭
The HADS first appeared in the 1969 second Doctor story The Krotons and also appeared in the 2013 eleventh Doctor story Cold War and the 2015 twelfth Doctor story The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar.
9:33 this scene made me tear up because donna never heard that, he opened up to someone he thought was his friend, the first time he’s opened up to her in 15 years and she wasnt real
She forced him to actually face his/their past and it wasn't actually her and the scene with him afterwards makes me cry. I'm so glad RTD isn't caving in to demands to retcon Thirteen's storylines.
Midnight was one of my favorite doctor/donna episodes, so hearing that this new episode has some of those vibes is very exciting! dropping a like for now and gonna watch after i catch the episode myself!
As for companions dying, there are some in the new series. - Amy Pond and Rory Williams were sent back in time, lived and died in the past (We can see their tombstone) in The Angels Take Manhattan. - Clara Oswald died in Face the Raven. In Hell Bent, she was extracted by the Doctor from the timeline just before dying, but her body was permanently stuck in time. She took the long way around, but finally got there at some point, her Testimony in Twice Upon a Time being aware of what happened in Hell Bent. - Two of Clara's echoes also died in Asylum of the Daleks and The Snowmen. - Bill Potts nearly died at the beginning of World Enough and Time. She was converted into a Cyberman, then into a water-based lifeform (or whatever The Pilot/Heather was). But Heather told her that she could make her human again if she wants. In Twice Upon a Time, her Testimony is aware of Heather saving her so she supposedly got turned back into a human again and died at some point. - Captain Jack Harkness died facing Daleks in The Parting of the Ways, but got resurrected by Rose in the same episode. As for occasional companions : - Nardole was left on a ship with severe time dilation and Cybermen. He led a group of people to safety but, due to Cybermen being in a faster floor than them, they probably caught them later and converted/killed them. His Testimony also appeared at the end of Twice Upon a Time. - River Song died when we first met her in the Library, in Forest of the Dead. Due to living her life backwards to that of the Doctor, we later see earlier versions of her. She appeared once after her death (the Doctor having saved her mind inside a hard drive) in The Name of the Doctor. Her last appearance was in The Husbands of River Song, were we learn that she's planning to go to the Library.
I just begun the classic series and am yet into Hartnell's run. But I already know of Adric, unfortunately. As for Missy, I didn't count her not because of her regeneration (otherwise, I would have counted the regenerations of Melody Pond and Mels under River's deaths... or Rory's other deaths). It's just the way she acts towards the Doctor never made me feel like she was a companion (until her last 2-3 minutes). She was the antagonist of season 8, before switching to a mix of antagonist/companion for 2 two-parters. In The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar, while she helps the Doctor and Clara, she tries to get the Doctor to kill Clara himself at the end (as retaliation, the Doctor abandons her on Skaro). And in World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls, she's keeps switching side between Simm's Master (who just converted Bill into a Cyberman) and the Doctor. And when she finally choose to side with the Doctor, she's killed by her past self.
We've had 3 companions who died tragically in Classic Who The First Doctor's companion Katarina got sucked out into an airlock, Sara Kingdom aged to death by the time destructor when she was saving the Doctor and Steven from the 12 part story "The Daleks' Master Plan" and Adric who was the Fourth and Fifth Doctor's companion died in a ship explosion in the 4 part story "Earthshock".
Leading up to the 50th anniversary on BBCA, they had basically marathon of first, a 30 minute breakdown of each doctor and their defining moments along with like cast interviews and stuff like that, and afterwords, a normally like 2 hour episode of Classic Who and I remember for the Fifth Doctor, it was Earthshock. It was kinda like the Jason Todd moment for Classic Who where a companion death could be like THE defining moment of an iteration.
Definitely midnight vibes. Loved it....grown generation X Scotsman. Dirty cried when Wilf appeared. Remember the actor used to voice kids programs when we were growing up.😢 "I loved that man.." The Doctor.
amy is kinda pushing it. she died yes but of old age without being artificially aged and she had rory with her. falls more in the tragic separation category honestly.
@@johnpaullogan1365That's literally what Angels do, they steal your time and grow stronger from it. It's not artificial age, but you die at the time they took you from.
If I remember correctly, the Hostile Action Displacement System is an old thing (introduced during the 2nd or 3rd Doctor, I think), but I'm not sure if it was named at the time. That may have come later. I do know the name was mentioned in an episode with 11 and Clara. The one with the submarine and the Martian Ice Warrior.
Im pretty sure the thing with Tardis flying away because of danger was mentioned in early episodes with Clara and 11, when they end up in soviet submarine
The second Doctor mentioned it way back in the 60s (can't remember which story but it had Jamie and Zoe) and I'm sure that's what Twelve said happened to the TARDIS in the Skaro two-parter in season 9 too?
Doctor Who over all, I can only think of two companion deaths. Adric with the 5th Doctor, Bill with the 13th. Bill was such a great character, she deserved more time with The Doctor.
If you think the Doctor Who episode “ Midnight” giving you a nightmares, I almost getting a nightmares from the episode “ Blink”, seeing this weeping Angels chasing you to touch you back to 1960
Amazing episode, although it felt like more of a regular episode rather than an anniversary special; then again theres 3 specials (4 including the xmas special), so we'll see what the next special has in store for us:)) So in terms of companion deaths there's Amy & Rory getting touched by a weeping angel, Bill getting turned into a Cyberman, and Adric (from the 5th Doctor/Peter Davison era back in the 80s) saving a ship from being crashed. I really hope Donna dosen't get killed off though...Catherine Tate and David Tennant are amazingly great together..>
and Clara, though she was extracted from her timeline, it's implied that she returns to her moment of death after having an adventure or two with the one called Me
13:47 Bill and Clara technically both died horrifically. Clara just has some extra time between when she will be forced to accept her final death and Bill is joined with her silver ooze girlfriend, but her life on Earth is over and she was a Cyberman before that, which is dead (as we know from Death in Heaven, which is also Capaldi).
Actually the puddle girl told her I’d bill wanted for her to, she could make her human again and drop her off back on earth at any time… bill just chose not to at that point… she may have gone back later for all we know.
You missed the reveal about the Doctor's origin and half the universe being destroyed. There are 39 seasons, it's important not to skip bits... 🙂 (yes, companions have died)
The TARDIS's Hostile Action Displacement System has been featured twice before in Doctor Who: once during one of the Second Doctor's stories back in the 60s, I forget which, and then again in Series 7 with Matt Smith in the Cold War episode on the Russian submarine.
@@filthycasual8187 According to @TheYoungDoctor in these comments, it was "the 2015 twelfth Doctor story The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar."
