What are The Flood? (Doctor Who's Biggest Unsolved Mystery) 

i legitimately don't know how i got banned can someone msg elon to get me unbanned pls thank u

Along with the vashta nerada, the flood is one of the most scariest doctor who villains. Something you don't notice until its too late.

This scared the shit out of me when I was a kid

It’s interesting watching The Waters of Mars back to back with The Fires of Pompeii

every clip ever from the first modern era of the show has such incredible scoring behind it. Murray gold is a music god

This episode got me so intrigued as I kid because in Australia it was M rated. It felt like a forbidden fruit or someting.

I was very ill when Waters of Mars aired, and the sight of them blasting water from their mouths set me off. 15 years later and I still feel a bit queasy when I see it.

To this day I honestly think that the flood is the scariest monster in Doctor Who history as well as it being one of the scariest episodes of all time. But it is one of the best episodes of all time.

I ADORED this episode to bits when it first came out. Just wish there was more like it. Such a brilliant setting, effects and monsters.

The second scariest alien parasite to be called the flood

Whilst I adore all of Dr Who some more than others ....the first RTD era literally hits so different like for 5 years it delivered pure platinum gold weekly ....and the fact TWOM I watched....it was the final time as a family of 5 we watched Dr Who ....my father got realky ill and passed away Christmas holidays 2009 my life changed forever ....this special was my mood, my vibe my depression manifested in a pure horror episode....I do wish these specials were contained in series 4 box set too as TWOM is a masterpiece in art form in so many ways that I feel gets overlooked at times... But excellent ....just excellent sadly I don't think Dr who will dare to go that dark again ....like genuinely ....this was exceptional and I'm thankful this was watched by 10 million people on prime time ...absolute art 💙💙

Arbiter: “What is it More Brutes” Chief: “Worse”

idk I think the midnight entity is a bigger mystery, but Waters of Mars is definitely one of the greatest episodes since 2005.

Ok so the Ice Warriors get their name in their 1st appearance from Humans who see some warriors stuck in ice. There is some absolute brutal irony that The Ice Warriors would be trapped and get their name from the very thing they used to defeat The Flood: ice.

The real mystery is why Murray Gold never released all the new songs from this episode… man, the track that plays while the Doctor fights against history is so good!

I assume waters of marz got lots of children in 2009 nervous about drinking tap water.

The flood dilemma

unironically you got some of the best sound mixing on youtube

15 views, two minutes ago? Oh boy, I'm early! Love hearing people talk about the Flood, such a terrifying episode.

I almost wonder if this is the reason in-universe Mars is a desert.

If I had a nickel for every time an infection that creates zombies and was completely sentient, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's kind of weird that it happened twice.

4:06 Bro has that deathly rizz

Your videos are really relaxing to listen to, which is especially nice when I've just started a quite stressful year of college :) (even when said video is about arguable one of the darkest stories in doctor who lol)

Goat's outta the farm with this one

The flood creep me out more than the weeping angels. Like you, zombies are creepy af to me, so yeah I don't fuck with the flood.

I love the Pokemon music you used during the Patreon announcement, and great video once again 👍

Definitely one of the best revived Dr Who stories. The Time Lord Victorious showing why he should not be alone.

One of my all-time favourite episodes fr great video!

bro this is one of the only creatures in doctor who that i find equally as scary now as i did when i first saw them

When I was first watching doctor who and I finished season 4 I watched The next doctor and the planet of the dead then I looked up if I had to watch all the specials and it said no so I immediately skipped to to the end of time, After watching it for the first time a couple of months ago I genuinely can’t believe I skipped on of the greatest doctor who episodes ever

I'm rewatching all the"modern" series and the next episode will be exactly this one. This will be the third time I see the whole thing but there are so many episodes that I don't remember! Like this one, I remember those horrible faces but nothing about the plot!

This is one of the main things that have haunted me, and made me absolutly terrified of zombies. And yet, dr who is one of my favourite shows

Ah! The S-tier Who villain. Along with Vashta Nerad, Weeping Angels and waters of Mars. But there's something above them. The midnight entity. Who could have literally killed the doctor, if not for some kind woman to sacrifice herself and throw it out of the vehicle.

Think the issue with reusing the flood is that you kinda have an Angel issue, where you might lose the fear factor they once had. Admittingly I am still waiting for them to show their heads in Big Finish, all things considered it wouldn´t be the first sentient water alien they used. I personally like to think of them as somthing like the SAX from the Metroid series, where the Ice Warriors serve as a species perfectly made to counter the Flood who just happen to be an invasive species on mars.

Top 3 creepiest DW eps imo.

Absolutely fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed this video, good work!

Nanomachines, son. Also Shoggoth. They are the same.

i would love to see another episodes where the ice warriors and the flood make a return at the same time.

This episode has always been special to me, origonally b3cause my birthday is the 21st of november, but as i got older it started to also become apparwnt to me just how important this episode is to doctor who and the character, he is all powerful and this episode is the shows response to what happens when his power and ego goes unchecked

I didn't want to drink water after this episode as a kid

This scared the shit out of me as a kid.

The goat has posted

just as i see this video in my feed it made me think of something. The Flood. Mrs. Flood. maybe a connection? considering we just had RTD have Sue tech = Sutekh i now am theorizing Mrs. Flood is like maybe the queen of The Flood ,like a hivemind and shes here for revenge against the doctor

This episode fucked me up especially the ending

Still my favorite episode as an adult. Scary villans base under seige dark turn for the doctor 10/10

Sigma Rule 10: Be a time and space bending tyrant and force other incarnations of yourself to chase you out of jealousy for your major mew streak 🤫

The flood should have been in before the flood

New DW91 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I suspect they are a future incarnation of the doctor.

I need an upload at least 2 times a week, I need it

Ncuti's doctor against the flood. Please.

clearly the flood are the halo enemies problem solved : )

Wait 'til you hear about HALO's “Flood”. Even worse One single spore...

Water

thank u goat 🙏

No way I just finished this episode-

1:15 Mother 3 music. 😭

How many biggest unsolved mysteries are there haha 😭😭😭

great vid

I believe a a couple years ago that Apple image was being spammed all over the internet so you might’ve been marked for spam?

15 years ago

My cousin favourite episode. And rightfully so.

This is definitely a great episode, it's the only episode from the Tennant specials that I actually like as well 😂 the others are just alright and the end of time is just bad imo

One of my favourite episodes, hands down. (Also I know this isn't the point of the video, but what's the music at 8:21? I recognise it from somewhere, but can't remember why/where from and it's driving me a little nuts lmao)

Waters of mars is peak

this would have been prefect if you use a little halo music otherwise great video

LETSS GOOOOOOOO

the flood

I swear you've put "Doctor Who's Biggest Unsolved Mystery" in many different video titles at this point. Which is actually the biggest? 😄
