Doctor Who 5x7 FULL LENGTH Reaction | Amy's Choice

FULL LENGTH REACTION

Comments

Nathan Jasper

Well this was a great surprise to wake up to! This is such a trippy episode. Love the idea of not knowing the real world from the dream world. Like an intense Inception. Toby Jones making sexy postures is...slightly more disturbing though 😳 No, Zola, no!

Cen

Fun fact for all the old who lovers as well the dream lord is meant to represent the 'valiard' from old who

Merkavar

I dont recall this being a good episode. kind of average. will watch soon and remember :D

Jacob King

A Toby Jones recommendation (probably not for reaction) is the movie Berberian Sound Studio. It’s a psychological horror but he gives such a sad beautiful heartfelt performance. Most of his characters are him playing against his physical type but he can really do the vulnerability thing. I don’t really have a comment on this episode because [spoilers] but it’s definitely worth a rewatch.

Leo Cap

in my opinion this is one of S5's most underrated episodes, and solidifies Amy and Rory in a way that sets them up for the rest of their run if this episode didn't exist things would be EXTREMELY awkward and weird going forward, as Rory is still basically her "Mickey". this episode reeeally needed to happen on top of that I think the Dreamlord mystery is fantastic, and Toby Jones knocked it out of the park

I remember not picking up on it being both dreams. I thought the TARDIS was reality, especially after Rory's “death,” so it's pretty impressive (to me, at least) that you figured out it was all a dream. Also, the self-hatred of the doctor is so depressing, especially with how relatable it can be. (I hate myself more than anyone in the universe he's just like me for real lmao)

Leo Cap

"I didn't know until just now, really, I didn't" i'm not sure how to feel about this, because personally I wouldn't feel compelled to wait for my partner to die to realize that I have true feelings for them -- but at the same time, I think it's touching. Amy can only feel what she feels -- and i'm glad it resulted in her realization that Rory is the one

I did not catch on that both were dreams the first time I watched this. I was convinced that Leadworth was a dream and the Tardis was real. I thought this episode was mid at first, but to me gets better every time I watch it. Listening to all the comments that the Dream Lord says and knowing that’s what the Doctor actually thinks, even if he doesn’t like to admit it to himself, it makes this alien seem more human and I love it.

I don't think Amy never said those three words to Rory, I think she meant it more as "I never really told him how much" I didn't consider them both being dreams on my first watch - I was pretty confident that the pregnancy future was a dream, because the question Amy asked in the TARDIS dream, "Why would we give this up?" wasn't answered even when they were back in the dream where they should have known. And a cold star seems completely within the realm of possibility for the Whoniverse. And if anyone's confused about the Doctor's hate, I'd suggest you go back to The Family of Blood, and ask John Smith how he feels.

Dani

This was a great episode.

Luka Poser

Absolutely one of my faves of the show. A fun twisty premise, lots of messy emotions and fears in our characters and even a double send-up of rubbish Doctor Who plots with the Killer Old People and the Nonsense Science Star. Amy and Rory both have such clear communication issues that I do wonder if the Doctor consciously let the Dream Lord persona manipulate them into improving their relationship. I read the final moment with the reflection smiling up, as the Doctor acknowledging that, smiling at a job well done. And that line about only one person hating the Doctor as much as that - ouch!

"What would be more romantic than saying 'I love you' to your future husband and then being eaten by a T-Rex?" Oh, I have a book for you! Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor.

Ben

If you weren't aware, the Dream Lord is played by Toby Jones who voiced Dobby in Harry Potter.

Nathan Jasper

And was Zola in the Captain America movies

Nathan Jasper

Well it's not like she wanted him to die. We just often don't know what we want until one of the choices are gone.

Ben

As others have said, you've definitely misread Amy's 'I never said I love him' line. She didn't mean it literally, I think she either meant she didn't tell him enough or that she didn't say tell him in the moment as he was dying.

Jeremy B

Can only echo what others have said about the way this solidifies and defines Amy and Rory's relationship and how the "I never told him I love him" line was more about taking him for granted than literally never telling him she loved him. As a whole Season 5 is pretty much universally loved and ranks in most fans lists alongside Season 4. Other parts of Moffat's run as showrunner may be more divisive (though I love almost all of it), but Season 5 remains widely regarded.

oh the rollercoaster that's coming for you....

*Valeyard. I think it's more of a callback than an actual representation, but that's open to each viewer's interpretation.

Fr. Brench

I dunno, I don't think the Darkness Inside is imagining the death of loved ones and crying, it's more like imagining the death of loved ones and being okay with it. Maybe not the best story, but it's exactly what we needed to straighten out Amy's priorities after her attempted fling.

Doctor: "No idea how you can be here, but there's only one person in the universe who hates me as much as you do."

Martin

I really like this episode, thought it was a good way to explore the dynamic most the companions so far have faced travelling with the Doctor, and also a great reminder that Doctor isn't all bow ties and quirks! Regarding what you said at the end who are these people that dislike Matt Smith and his era!? Let me at them as they need to be shown the error of their ways! :p lol Kind regards, Matt Smith era Stan.

*Boatyard sorry couldn't resist ;)

Carl Wilson

I actually don't agree with everyone here - I think Rory said it to her, and she kind of passively acknowledged it in a way that he took to mean that she loved him too. I think he just understood that she's uncomfortable with making herself that vulnerable, because of the way she grew up (with barely a family, and the idea of this other life that she could have but had lost). Speaking from the p.o.v. of a man who's loved an elusive woman, totally plausible to me.

Alex Berlow

FYI if you look closely at the van when they are escaping the one with the glasses is david tennant;)

Geoff Richards

Tony James is great in The Detectorists - and very much not a bad guy there.

Ben “Bentendo” Dawson

Toby Jones is amazing. You probably won't see it in the US but they did a drama here in the UK about the real story of the Post Office scandal that has happened here [one of the greatest miscarriages of justice our government and public services has ever been involved in] and he played the main character who brought the Post Office down. Just amazing, sad but amazing.

Linus Marjeta

It isn't actually David Tennant* Just an extra made to look a bit like 10 with the glasses, hair and sideburns.
