Doctor Who 5x13 FULL LENGTH Reaction | The Big Bang

FULL LENGTH REACTION

Comments

Siti Dee

2,000 years i've waited... for this reaction! Thanks! 😭😭😭❤️

Leo Cap

I wonder why they used a whole different take for the young Amy intro-- she had the same dialogue up until the point where she runs to the window and the Doctor is absent

Leo Cap

this ending kind of reminds me of Interstellar. the flashback explanations, the "ghost" of the Doctor talking to Amy, etc

Reggie Ortiz

You’re really holding onto this dream thing lol

Jacob King

I think it all holds together. The season is a closed loop, if Amy hadn’t met the Doctor she never would’ve had a crack in her wall. They could bring the universe back because the Pandorica was a sealed bubble of old space time and Amy’s memories are a part of that. We’ve already established that as a time traveller she can remember things other people can’t. River clearly remembers because she gave Rory the book and the Doctor is dressed in a tux because he expected to be there. It’s all part of the general loopiness of the story. Most importantly, fezzes are cool.

Nathan Jasper

The Doctor, Rory, and Amy's parents were all lost in time not completely gone. What's lost can be found if you remember them.

Merkavar

She really did cling to the idea that it was all a dream, always coming back to it. :D

Merkavar

did they change the camera/tech so the older footage wouldnt work?

Jackson Ehlers

I always loved the intricacy of this story, and especially seeing all the hints across the season come together well, but I think it's definitely a case of 'don't unpick it for consistency, just go with it and have fun'. Looking forward to seeing you meet the Silence!

Alkaris

Dream Lord was only a one deal thing, also the last episode that wasn't just suprnovas going off, that was just all the stars and planets going out at once and the dead silence that came with it as everything stopped existing.

Frank (MetronV) Izzy

My take is that it's not just memories, but Amy's memories due to the fact that she was so closely linked with split in the skin of the universe for most of her life.

Ben

Can't believe you thought the fez was a bucket! 😆

Lintrinsic

I sometimes wonder if US viewers understand when the Doctor says "I hate repeats", repeats are what we call reruns in the UK. Many of us thought the jacket in the Angels two-parter was a continuity error, so when this episode showed it was the Doctor as his timeline unravelled and was intentional, it became a lovely touch. And please, for the love of all that's holy, let go of the Dreamlord.

Lintrinsic

She may have looked older and they wanted her to match the additional scenes for continuity, and it does make it clear this is an alternate timeline.

Ben

With the whole 'memories can bring people back' thing, I don't think it's meant literally, because, as you say, memories won't bring your sister back, but the memory keeps her existence alive, so memories can bring people back, at least figuratively speaking.

Steven

The "Gotcha" was a joke between the Doctor and Amy in The Beast Below, most notably when they're hugging at the end. Bit of a random thing to bring back for the finale, I didn't remember it either until I rewatched the season with you lol

Fr. Brench

What a phenomenal ending of a season this one! It didn't solve all of its loose ends, but it holds up well. It was so freshly emotional watching with you, thank you for your reactions :) The "Silence will fall!" voice earlier was (I think) from episode 1, not the Dream Lord's voice. And yes, this literally was a "Deus ex machina", (God from the machine)... a the TARDIS explosion + the Pandorica literally just fixes everything. To be fair, most of the season finales have ended with a Deus ex machina plot device (Bad Wolf, hello), this one just seemed more put-together than a lot of the previous ones in my opinion. And yeah, Matt Smith does a remarkable job seeming ancient and young at the same time. I was really concerned when he was first cast that he'd be a David Tennant Part Two, but he really does have a different energy to him. Cheers :)

Ben

This finale marks the first time in Modern Who were neither The Doctor regenerates or a companion leaves.

funnylilgalreacts

Don’t fez’s normally have a tassel or something? 😂 I guess I don’t see them with enough regularity

Ben

They can have a tassel but you can get ones with out. Also, if the Doctor says the Fez is cool then it is cool!

MertzRocks

I agree, that was the Prisoner Zero voice...

Nathaniel Castle

"You'll have your family back, you won't need your imaginary friend anymore" Absolutely broke me to the point that I made a Teddy Bear hero for a D&D campaign (The wild beyond the witchlight for those in the know) based solely on that line! Had a lot of fun with this!

MertzRocks

Fezzes are cool... 🤘😎🎸

Martin

You've done something here you don't usually do and taken things very literally lol, Doctor Who isn't much of a show if that's how you start looking at it, timey wimey will cease to exist otherwise :( This is an amazing finale, finding out the angels episode was his future self was genius, the idea of dreams (but I think more the power of memories) throughout the season is fantastic, Amelia Pond, 'like a name in a fairy tale' and the power of dreams/memories to bring back her childhood friend the Doctor, it's beautiful storytelling. A great first season of a new doctor and companions, loved it. Think the other stuff people have told you 200 times by now lol eg the 'gotcha' call back and everything with the Dream Lord. But yeah, big fan of this finale and this season :D

funnylilgalreacts

I watched this two months ago, so people couldn’t tell me how to think and feel about it. That’s the problem with spoilers and people who can’t keep their mouth shut is that I have to watch it so far in advance they can’t ruin a storyline for me. I might’ve ended up ruining it for myself, but at least it’s on me and not somebody else.

Marquie Minx

I think the only reason this one didn't connect with you like the others is because you were too busy beating that dead horse with the dreams. Right up till the end of the episode you were still waiting for Amy to wake up and confirm your "dream theory", which was never, ever a thing

funnylilgalreacts

It’s my first time watching it! Everyone else on here seen this before I don’t think it’s fair that I’m getting beat up about me having my own idea of what could possibly be happening. I didn’t know the dream lord was a one off thing.

Rach

Fun finale, but definitely suffers from 'first finale of the era where Steven Moffat doesn't want to play all his cards at once' syndrome. Which is wild considering this episode contains the TARDIS exploding, the universe ending and then being rebooted, and the lead being erased from history and resurrected. Any other franchise that's endgame, in Doctor Who it's 'huh, that was an annoying incident. Wonder why that happened?'

Rach

I also love how the Doctor ALWAYS procrastinates big story arcs. "Someone orchestrated this whole thing to blow up the tardis and end the whole of creation - however rather than investigate that immediately I think I'll do a bunch of side quests". He'd be a perfect RPG character

DieWinterkirsche

I did say it on Discord, I´ll say it again here: I liked your "Dream Lord"-theory whenever bird sounds came up... It was a fun little fan-theory. It would be boring if you predicted everything correctly all the time. <3 You and your reactions are so fun and awesome. Please never change in how you theorize and react to stuff! <3

Earthen

Is there a solid scientific explanation as to how the Doctor was brought back, and Rory, and her parents, and how the Big Bang 2 actually worked? No... ;) But that's ok as long as the narrative overall works, and this story isn't over. New mysteries to solve. What is the Silence? Why did the Tardis explode? What does River mean we'll find out who she is? Just keep watching :)

John

But where did River get her vortex manipulator? You know the one that was "fresh off the wrist of a handsome time agent"? No, it wasn't the Dream Lord.

John

Amy's memories had the power to bring people back because of the crack in the universe being in her room for so many years.

Ejigantor

So, about "deus ex machina" it's a literary device dating from Greek Theater, where plays often had their stories resolved by a "god" portrayed by an actor who would rise up through the stage, elevated by a contraption (the machine of the "god out of the machine" literal translation of the term) who would fix the problem or resolve the conflict, mete out punishments, etc. The term has come to refer to a plot resolution that comes out of nowhere, with no foreshadowing. If a meteor or anvil or grand piano randomly drops out of the sky to vanquish the villain of the story, that's a deus ex machina. And the thing is, The Doctor basically is a deus ex machina within the universe of the story; he's a god who drops into situations out of nowhere, delivered by a machine - the TARDIS - and he resolves the conflict or fixes the problem and so on. About the episode - I like the time travel shenanigans in the first two thirds of the story, but it loses me somewhat with the much more fantastical conclusion. It's executed well - especially by Karen - so the emotions carry the narrative through to the conclusion, but it doesn't actually make a whole lot of sense from a logical perspective. The biggest stumbling block for me is that The Doctor is an extremely complicated spacetime event. He is woven through the events of the universe in fairly significant ways. Even if we ignore the rest of the universe and forget about the Time War and all that, Earth's history would have unfolded significantly differently without all the impacts he's had on it, and yet there's no difference at all between the when the universe is restored without The Doctor and after Amy remembers him and causes him to exist again except the writing in River's diary. I do like the bit about too many rooms in Amy's house - it was there the whole time, and they even drew our attention to it by having Amy count the rooms to catch the perception filter hiding the room Zero was in way back in The Eleventh Hour, but we never really noticed or thought to ask. Or at least, I didn't, and nor did anyone on the discussion boards I frequented when the show was live. We were told it was only her and her aunt, and we all just accepted it as how things were.

John

Trivia: The girl who plays young Amelia, Caitlin Blackwood, is Karen Gillan's cousin.

John

We got a subtle remark that the Dream Lord wasn't real. The Doctor said he knew who the Dream Lord was because there was nobody else in the universe that hated him that much. He was talking about himself. The dreams took the dark fears of each person and manifested them - the Dream Lord was the manifestation of the Doctor's self-loathing. At least, that's how I took it. The town was Amy's fear of settling down in a "normal" married life and Rory's fear that a life with him wasn't what Amy wanted.

Carl Wilson

This is definitely the kind of episode where I have to go "okay, Doctor Who is fantasy that looks like science fiction" to accept the ending - what happens is emotional magic, and it's great emotional magic, but trying to make it logical involves way too much rationalization. I still love it beat by beat. His speech at little Amy's bedside becoming the "something old, something new" of the wedding, great glittery poetry. As you say, even emotionally it's not realism, just wish fulfillment. But we can all use that sometimes.

DSJ.

I despise it when people rain on a parade - the Dream Lord interpretation was completely valid, and interesting, actually. Get off your high horse ffs. God forbid people have their own ideas, eh? The comments will sort it all out! Ugh. Annoying. Fans, especially Who fans, can really be the absolute worst. I say this as someone who thinks that this is, oddly enough, a perfectly logical episode and season, as well as a beautiful piece of storytelling. See? One can disagree with Angela, or a particular interpretation, without being a complete droning twat about it. Sorry for all the shite you have to endure, Angela.

Linus Marjeta

Yeah, like, by all means this episode has some of the biggest plot-holes in Who-history, and still manages to be so exceptional in every other area that I couldn't care less about them! Love it and wouldn't change a thing about it!

Michael Jones

That really was quite deliberate on Moffat's part. He wanted Smith's era to be a Fairy Tale, and he skewed it towards the more Fairy Tale feel.

Jack Mingle

Let's not forget when 10 did the whole Jesus-Doctor thing and magicked himself back into his young non-dobby form by the collective thoughts (Prayers) of the earth. Doctor Who has always had that fantastical element.

Carl Wilson

Yes, for sure it was always there! I've just had a tendency to deny it and then have to remind myself. And sometimes I do think it can be taken too far and slip out of balance (which is kinda how I feel about RTD's most recent run).

ZapWing

Did you ask your husband if he'd wait 2000 years for you to keep you safe if you were locked in a stasis box after watching this?

Connor Clarke

Amy could bring back the Doctor not because pf her own memories, but because she grew up next to the crack. All of the universe, including all of the Doctor passing through her each night. The Something old/new, borrowed and blue was just the trigger for the stored memory. If you go back and watch the season again they make several references throughout to the power of memory. or lack there of. FYI, Deus Ex Machina, is pronounced DAY-us Ex MACH-ena. Literally translated it's "God of/in the Machina." Used when something so improbable happens it must be attributed to a/the God's intervention, rather then the normal workings of the world.

Rayna Storie

My head cannon is that River Song is awesome Miss frizzle from The magic School bus. I'm here because Doctor who is now streaming on AMC
