michael23

oh this is going to be amazing, I’ve been looking forward to this one for so long!!

Michael Siegel

Same! Been so hard to avoid spoiling it for Angela but glad we did!

Josef Schiltz

This one is gonna be fast clicked!

Leo Cap

Rory is the best companion we've ever had, and i'll explain why I feel this way The Doctor himself is a genius, capable, and confident. Amy is a tough girl, but more than anything, she has unwavering faith in the Doctor. this is explored more later too. Rory is different -- he spends most of the time doubting, scared, confused, overwhelmed, and out of his depth -- but he comes through every time to protect his people at any cost Rory encapsulates the very definition of bravery I think they tried to do something similar with Mickey and it fell a little flat, because they just wrote his character into a hardened mercenary. Rory retains his core anxiety and meekness throughout, but he pushes through ANYWAYS. these are the kinds of core concepts that Stan Lee was coming up with to make people fall in love with his characters. Rory is nothing less than a hero

Leo Cap

So, the million dollar question Angela: which is your favorite twist, River being Amy's daughter or Zuko being Roku's great grandson?

Josh Bacon

Been waiting for this one since Silence in the Library!

David Gaynor

I haven't been keeping up with your reactions since I haven't been in a doctor who mood recently since the most recent season BUT as soon as I saw this upload I ran to watch

Robert A.

You have now seen the birth of a new category of Doctor Who memes: The "RORY WILLIAMS IS A BADASS!" memes. Chuck Norris ain't got nothing on our man Rory...

Leo Cap

there's so much happening in this episode that I feel like I should mention something that gets overlooked... STRAX!! yes. we saw Strax in SEASON 3! well... not Strax himself. probably one of his clones. but same VFX makeup and voice actor. he is ICONIC and his character writing is so underrated

Robert A.

"I'm old! I'm fat! I'm blue!" Oh, Dorium, I feel ya...

Philip Metcalfe

You haven't missed the Gamma Forest scene, there IS a short story about it, but that was released post this episode being broadcast. IF you ever find yourself watching ST:SNW you'll see the actress Cristina Chong as La'An Noonien-Singh where she is badass and excellent

Benjamin

we've been waiting for this reveal for a VERY LONG TIME. I'm so glad it wasn't spoiled for you <3

Frederik Jensen

We've been waiting a long time for this one and it was worth the wait.

Luke Jones

i’d really recommend rewatching the episodes with Amy, Rory and River again just to see their dynamic because it makes it so much better knowing what you know now

Doug C

My favorite line in this whole episode is River telling Rory in the beginning that it's her birthday. That is such a tell in retrospect... :-)

Robert A.

Mindblowing trivia: Steven Moffat came up with the idea that we got the word "Doctor" meaning "helper, healer" from the Doctor in the EARLY 1990s and posted about it on USENET of all things... When this episode was first broadcast someone dug up his old post and replied something to the effect of "You MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!"

Tristan Reynolds

Now that you know the truth I really recommend going back and rewatching river's interactions with Amy and rory before this. Especially the scene when they find the spacesuit and river talks to rory about her relationship with the doctor. She's just a girl venting to her dad and he doesn't even know yet 💔😭

Jeff Ratcliff

I think he does the kissy-kissy thing because he realizes he's made out with his best friend's daughter.

Cross Hatched95

I’m sure you don’t wanna look at YouTube chat because spoilers but I’ll say it in here to reiterate river song is peak doctor who ❤️

Leguś

Fun fact: Most of the crew didn't know River was Melody until the shooting day. Matt, Karen and Arthur knew Alex had a secret for a bit but didn't know what exactly.

Michael Siegel

This is an almost perfect episode. Everything comes together so beautifully. And like most beautiful Moffat episodes, it breaks your heart at the same time it uplifts you. There are many parts of this I love but that moment with Matt and Alex standing over the cot -- "I *am* telling you*, with Murray Gold's music underplaying the moment -- gets me every time. To see this moment out of the show I'd loved since I was 12 was something else. Also, Angela on cold medicine >> most people unmedicated. You were great. :)

William Hurley

lorna bucket isn't a character you've seen before, this is the only time we see her

Past Tense

Mah favourite funnylilgal + the big reveal + popcorn + a bumper pack of tissues .. I’m soo ready!

Michael Siegel

It's crazy how well-written the show was. I have no idea if Moffat intended this all along but it all works on rewatch.

glenn sawyer

Me too, i was going to say the same

glenn sawyer

I knew this episode will have you cry, its such a plot twist its up with "no, i am your father", this is probably my favorite matt smith era episode, and pretty close to top if not top doctor who episode, i have been waiting for this episode since the library, you can see why everyone loves River so much as a character.

Nathan Boice

Been waiting for this one since the library! Biggest reveal ever!

Russell Crockett

Watching this during my lunch break at work was probably not a good idea. Had people asking me what’s wrong because I came back with tears and puffy eyes, lol!

daviderl666

I know you don't remember, but after River's first appearance, I wrote that she had one secret that I couldn't say because of Spoilers.

Obvious

Now we want to see you rewatch Forest of the Dead/Silence in the Library knowing what you know now.

Chris Padwick

Yeah, the little girl is River. No, the Doctor isn't her father; Rory is but River was conceived on the Tardis and it had an impact. Yeah, River has always known but 'spoilers, sweeties'. Lorna is now in Star Trek; Strange New Worlds'. The Headless Monks are another line on sale in Moffat's Little Shop of Monsters along with The Weeping Angels, The Empty Child and those creepy clockwork robots in The Girl in The FIreplace.

The Lore Merchant

I love the opening bit where Amy is talking to Melody, and it sounds like the dozen other times somebody has been talking about the *Doctor* coming to save them and how nothing will stand in the way... But she's talking about Rory. *chef's kiss* And then the final twist about River... perfect bookends.

Liem

Ahhh one of the biggest plot twists ever. And yes, so when Steven Moffat took over as showrunner, he had already constructed the idea that River would be the daughter of the companion. And wanted the name of the companion to be related to River. So Pond to River. Then naming Melody… to Song. Very very complicated Moffat stuff but my god it worked so well. This season is the first time the show had a mid season finale, and a break inbetween broadcast because Steven thought that after such a cliffhanger, it would be good to have a break before the second half of the series.

Rester

Notes from a Doctor Who fan: 1) You said that Melody Williams sounds like the name of a history teacher. River Song IS a professor of archaeology. So...explicitly a history teacher. 2) In the second episode of the season 'Day of the Moon', River guns down the Silence in the end of the episode while the rest of our crew are on the TARDIS, then says 'My old fella didn't see that did he? He gets ever so cross,' to the person standing in the door of the TARDIS. She doesn't look to see who it is, so it's not explicit that she knows who she's talking to. The man in the doorway? Rory. We assume she's talking about the Doctor, but 'my old fella' is a term that can refer to either a romantic partner OR a father. Who was she referring to? 3) I don't always like Moffatt's writing or wider narrative building, but I have to give props to the knife-edge balancing required to heavily nod to the reveal before it happens, but still make it usually hit as a surprise. You thought of River when you first heard the 'Only water in the Forest is the River' line from The Doctor's Wife, you connected the similarities in name between her and the Ponds, but it still hits. Very good episode.

Mastervodo

The BEST opening to any Dr. Who episode, ever! Yes? No? Change my mind! Rory is a (expletive) UNIT!

DarkStar 57

I am so thankful this wasn't ruined for you. SO SO glad. There were so many moments you picked up on during the reactions prior and I was like *SWEATS INTENSELY* hahaha. It was so nice to see someone come across this and see the pieces line up. This reveal ALWAYS ALWAYS messes me up lmao.

Dylan Roberts

FINALLY THE ONE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR

David Vandervliet

The plan for River was in Moffat's mind from the very beginning, and he let Alex Kingston know pretty early on. Not during the library, but I think as early as season 5's Angel two-parter.

V1rtu0u5

So she does have a "Time Head" 🤣🤣🤣

V1rtu0u5

Honestly the end of this episode when we learn who River really really is makes me tear up every time 😸

Mastervodo

Me too! Sobbing mess!

Josef Schiltz

Silence In The Library. The Doctor: Oh, you're not, are you? Tell me you're not archaeologists. River: Got a problem with archaeologists? The Doctor: I'm a time traveller. I point and laugh at archaeologists. River: Ah. Professor River Song, archaeologist. At various ages now, River - Melody - has been pointed at and laughed at by The Doctor. Although, the first time, technically, the Melody he pointed and laughed at was a Ganger.

The Puenst

This is one of my favorite episodes!!! Im so glad you got to see this and not have anything spoiled.

Bill Roland

I know it hasn't actually been all that long since you released your 4x6 reaction, but it felt like forever with this episode coming up. If you think back to the episode "The Doctor's Wife", you may remember that the Tardis kept getting confused about the order of time and saying things that hadn't happened yet. She had a non-sequiter that wasn't resolved in that episode. She says "The only water in the forest is the river", because she was remembering the events of Demon's Run, which hadn't happened yet. The odd thing about it, the TARDIS isn't even present when River says that, so perhaps the TARDIS had read the leaf before the Doctor left and had figured out why it said River instead of Pond, and wasn't quoting River but stating her own thoughts.

matt

The reason The Doctor's in such a good mood when he leaves is because he knows it's all going to work out fine. The fact that River (Melody) is standing there is proof of that.

Jessica H.

The let's kill hitler title after that emotional moment always makes me laugh 😂 which is good because this episode always destroys me. I love the river theme music it gets me every time.

Darren Withers

Rory has never been more badass than at the beginning of this episode! I’m not sure if Angela fell for the little bait and switch at the beginning of the episode, describing Rory as hundreds of years old and the last of his kind, and then saying “he’s your father”. It was obviously an attempt to make the audience think Amy was describing the Doctor before you realise the same description applies to Rory.

Josh Lammaslehto

Now you know why River was so innocently excited to tell Rory about her birthday.

J. Black

This is one of those episodes that if you'd ask me about it, I'd say, "yeah, it's alright" and then I rewatch it and it's such an absolute banger. It's just so good, and the only thing I can fault it for is the Mark Gatiss v/o cameo.

James Fleischman

In case you think you've got a handle on what's going on: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

SnachaGona

"What is she?" "Hope. Hope in this endless war." "What war? Against who?" "Against you, Doctor." We finally learn who River Song is and then they drop this on us! Such amazing writing I love it

Rory Gerrard

Like everyone else i was looking forward to seeing your reaction to this episode. It's such a good episode especially with the return of all these previous allys that the Doctor has called in help from. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to the rest of this season.

Jedi Beavis

Just realized that Lorna is La'an from Strange New Worlds.

Space Monkey Mafia

At least you get to watch the next one right away. We had to wait SIX MONTHS. This season was basically broken up into two parts. They even released season 6 part 1 on DVD before part two aired.

Casterborous

oh you also may wanna check out a minisode that got release a bit after this called "The Battle of Demons Run: Two Days Later" sets up some context for future episodes

Chad

I was actually coming here to point this out and recommend SNW since she likes space stuff.

funnylilgalreacts

I felt like I knew it was a baiting switch, but she definitely had to be talking about Rory. I was definitely relieved when she said “the last centurion”

funnylilgalreacts

I am so happy that I didn’t miss something because I thought that either A I forgot a character or B it was from classic who and I wouldn’t have known who it was anyway.

XeonAlpha

This was the episode when I first gasped. I was so blown away. Glad no one spoiled it for you.

Hellan Meras

When I first discovered your YT channel more than a year ago - you've just started your Doctor Who journey. THIS was the episode reaction I was looking forward this whole time and it was worth the wait. For me, this is the peak of Doctor Who, my most rewatched and my favourite episode and to this day, I cry every single time when I watch it. (Now that you know who River is, please, go back and see that reveal scene with Doctor once again, the brilliance of Matt's performance can really be appreciated once you know what's happening)

Ben

It wasn't six months we had to wait, it was actually only 3 months. Think you got it confused with S7.

Adinium

No that wasn’t Moffat’s decision, he spoke in an interview and said it was decided by the BBC not him

Howie

"What is happening?" Yeah, this was considered a mid-season finale and Moffat threw everything but the kitchen dalek into this episode. Kinda messy but the ending made everyone forget about it!

Literaltruth

One of my favourite little things that happens in this episode is that when the Doctor finds out who River Song is, he goes back to the Tardis, pops his head out, points at her and laughs. WAY back in The Silence in the Library, the first time the Doctor meets River she tells him she's an archeologist and he says "I point and laugh at archeologists" The other wonderful part is when Rory appears at the start, Alex Kingston lights up like a little girl and says "It's my Birthday!" before realising Rory doesn't know who she is yet....she thinks that her dad has come to visit her on her birthday. The other little easter egg is that in "The Doctor's Wife" Idris, the TARDIS, says "The only water in the forest is the river" as one of the phrases that seems to be nonsense but are actually just because she exists out of time and accidentally said something from the future - as the TARDIS is there watching when River tells Amy that the only water in the forest is the River. Another thing a lot of people people miss here is that this confirms that River and the Doctor do not encounter each other in exactly reverse order. It's not like each time River sees the Doctor it's always later for her and earlier for him. I think it's really a spoilter to say that this isn't River's last episode - but at this point in the Doctor's timeline he's met her at the start of her life as a baby and at the end of her life on the day she dies in the library. It's just it generally trends earlier for her and later for him - that's why they have to synch up diaries when they meet.

Leo Cap

"how did you find him?" "stringy... but tasty all the same" Madame Vastra's dialogue is just so good.

Leo Cap

I love Rory's expression in the last shot... look at his forehead!! he's so shocked his scalp contracts 🤣🤣🤣

Zain Cassis

When it comes to plots twists like these, "so close but so far" really is the best place to be!

Jeff Ratcliff

I was afraid Angela might figure it out too soon, but fortunately she didn't. Somehow it seems to me that a twist is best when you get it at the very last moment.

L K Piper

I remember when I first saw the name "Melody Pond" I yelled River song at the TV

Dean Miller

I am sooo glad this wasn't spoiled for you. <3
