2026-10-11 23:00 i somehow perfectly timed opening the patreon app at the exact moment this was uploaded. excited for the video and next week’s too :D

Luke Jones

literally same 😂 i knew she posted around 2pm gmt so i opened the app, low and behold, there is was. super duper excited for this 🫨

Leo Cap

fun fact: the lady with Vincent in the opening was the one who was initially yelling at him and telling him to get lost. I guess she turned a new leaf

Robert A.

Not celebrating -- those were the stars going out...and do you recall what previously seen race had the hand-guns? :-) I can't wait for next week!

Vinny Johnston

The Roman legion were all Autons if you remember they were living plastic , except they were a bit more life like.

Michael Siegel

One of the clever things about this episode is the that the Doctor describes all the bad things about the inhabitant of the Pandorica. And you realize he's describing himself, as his enemies see him.

Jessica H.

I have a starry night print on canvas but I've always wanted to get one of the of the tardis exploding. Someday!

Craig

The end wasn't celebrations, that was the Universe exploding in total event collapse

Cross Hatched95

Top tier cliff hanger writing. Also Rory the Roman ❤️❤️❤️

Ben

Really don't know how she comes to these conclusions sometimes!

Russell Crockett

Oh Mr. Moffat, you do know how to twist our emotions all over the place! I absolutely loved them using as many Wholiens as they could for the alliance.

Howie

"the TARDIS exploded, the Doctor stuck in the box, Amy is dead... [sob] worst episode ever... " 🤣

Leo Cap

the fact that Toby Jones was so creepy as the Dream Lord that he has you paranoid that he's involved in this finale is awesome tbh

Merkavar

Yeah sometimes the the things she comes up with are a bit of a head scratcher :D

The Lore Merchant

There is a Jack Harkness reference: The vortex manipulator River gets during the pre-opening credit sequence was taken "from a handsome time agent".

The Lore Merchant

Who were the villain/antagonist in the very first Eccleston episode, "Rose"

OfficiallyGames

Honestly amazing how much the dreamlord has had a hold on you and that you're really holding onto those theories with him.

James Miller

I'm pretty sure that wasn't the Dream Lord's voice. He didn't actually exist.

Ben

The voice is also way too deep to be the Dream Lord!

Jeremy Young

I've said it before, no one hates the Doctor like the Doctor hates himself (this season).

Natalie

I’m with you on the Weeping Angels. They’ve never been as effective as their first appearance. But I get why they would want to bring them back after they were massively popular.

demonic-myst

romans were very adaptive they would fight a enemy who had better tactics then learn the new tactiocs during battle and master it beating people at their own game

Cody Eckert

Sorry for the triple-post. I didn't realize I was commenting on the Full Length before. Since I know you've already watched episode 13 at this point, I don't consider this a spoiler, but I'm surprised you didn't call out that 9.5 (10.5 if you count The Beast Below, which takes place in future Space London) of the 13 episodes in season 5 take place on Earth. I remember in your End of Time Part 2 reaction you mentioned you specifically wanted more space adventures and other planets and things rather than Earth-centric stories. The Angels snapping people's necks bothered me to. The whole expanded lore they gave the Angels in those episodes bothered me tbh. They talk now. Really? Any picture or video of an Angel magically becomes one? Why? Images of an Angel can infect your eyes and turn you into an Angel. Come on. Things stop being as scary when you explain them or you give them too many abilities. We didn't need a Weeping Angel lore drop. Should have kept them simple, vague, and ambiguous IMHO. The whole "phoning the time vortex doesn't always work, but the TARDIS rerouted the call" thing really annoyed me. If Winston was trying to call The Doctor, and the TARDIS is smart enough to know this and reroute calls through time itself, then why does she reroute it to River instead of just ringing the damn phone in the door, so The Doctor gets the call? Always seemed like a poor explanation/exposition drop to get River into the story because plot. "I'm not exactly one to miss the obvious" while completely missing the obvious lmao. Never change Doctor. The Doctor's speech at the end is probably my favorite moment of the season. It's not my favorite Doctor speech. It's not even my favorite Matt Smith speech. But it's a super fun moment in an otherwise boring (to me) season. The Romans aren't the Cybermen or the Pilot Fish Santas, they are the Autons. The same villain from Season 1 Episode 1. The Rory-bot almost overcoming his programming then shooting Amy anyway is so tragic, especially because he seems fully aware of what he's doing but is completely unable to stop himself. The explosions at the end weren't celebrations or fireworks, they were galaxies exploding because the TARDIS blew up and took the rest of the Universe with it. This episode was essentially all The Doctor's enemies in the FA stage. They are now entering the FO stage :) I don't think the voice in the TARDIS at the end is meant to be the Dreamlord. I could be wrong on that, but the Dreamlord was a fiction of The Doctor's creation because of the pollen. He's not a real person/entity. He only exists as a representation of the darker parts of The Doctor's mind. I love Rory as a companion. I think I prefer him over Amy tbh. Amy is nowhere near my favorite modern Who companion. Don't get me wrong, I like her. But not as much as some others. I hope you enjoyed your snack!

demonic-myst

its not cybermen its the living plastic from the first episode back with rose

demonic-myst

not celebratonhg the stars were going out

David Vandervliet

On the cliffface under the Hello Sweetie the first two characters are greek letters - Theta and Sigma. Way back in 1978 in the original series, it was revealed that the Doctor's "nickname" when at the Prydonian Academy was theta sigma.

Fraser Anderson

The tardis is exploding, the doctor’s stuck in the box, Amy’s dead… WORST EPISODE EVER. I was crying laughing at your reaction. Then ‘are they celebrating?’ pushed me over the edge 😂😂😂

Brendan Peters

That was not the dream lord talking in this episode, we have not heard anything about the dream lord since his episode.

daviderl666

Who guessed the most dangerous person in the universe was the Doctor?

Lloyd Brady

I must say that by the end of series 4 I had become quite tired of the way RTD had written just about every series finale and Xmas special to involve an invasion or other threat to London, or at least centered in London even if the threat was global. We had Sycarax hovering over London, Cybermen and Daleks invading through Torchwood London, the Racnoss Empress’ ship attacking London, the Master as the British PM taking over the world from London, the Titanic about to crash into Buckingham Palace, etc, etc. Moffatt on the other hand looks beyond London and takes the threats to a greater level. He also takes full advantage of the implications and paradoxes of time travel, which I greatly appreciate. While he doesn’t always pull it off, I certainly applaud his broad ambition.

Leo Cap

when he yelled "LISTEN TO ME" before they sealed the Pandorica, I think it would have been funny if he'd said "do I just have a face that nobody listens to?" right before the box closed

Daniel Osorio

One of the best speeches in the entire series.

Firefly24601

"Worst episode ever" I laughed so hard!!! 😁

Fenixnade

That painting - I have a framed print of it hanging in my office.

William Wood

Loved this on original transmission, it was a rollercoaster of emotions, then having to wait a week was intolerable!

Adinium

Doctor-lite episodes are kind of an RTD-era thing for the most part, I don't think there are any you could define as Doctor-lite in the Moffat era

Adinium

The Christmas Special is part of season 6 not 5 btw :)

Drake

The Romans and Rory are neither Cyberman or Santas, rememeber Season 1 Episode 1 xD tehy are the Plasticmen (Autons) which were animated by Plastic Consciousness that Rose killed with her Acrobatic kick pouring anti-plastic over it xD its such a far callback its crazy

Drake

the chrstmas special aint part of any season but inbetween, they sometimes listed as episode 14 somtimes listed as episode 0 but thats just based on what the person thinks who lists them, they differently on every page bbc even has it listed differently sometimes xD

Drake

thank god xD

Drake

i ... bloody ... love ... steven ... moffat he is the goat also " are they Celebrating" ... not quite, every sun is exploding i would not call that a celebration xD

Leo Cap

"they'll never expect 3 people to attack 12,000 Dalek battleships! because we'd be killed instantly. forget surprise" 😭

David Vandervliet

I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but I do think Moffat overuses time travel shinnangins, in particular Bootstrap paradoxes. Sometimes he writes himself into a corner, and just handwaves it all with a timeloop resolution of some sort

Clara Hines

What's wrong with Doctor-lite episodes?
