Doctor Who 6x13 FULL LENGTH Reaction | The Wedding of River Song

FULL LENGTH REACTION

Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart isn't a spoiler - just an iconic character/friend of the Doctor from Classic Who, who used to lead UNIT. His actor, Nicholas Courtney, had died in 2011 not that long before this aired, so that scene was just a posthumous tribute to him as much as anything. He's been mentioned a few times already in David Tennant's seasons, which is why you might recognise the name

I forgot they did a farewell to Nicholas Courtney after his passing in February 22nd of 2011, who played Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart in Classic Who. The Brigadier showed up a lot in Classic Who, so it's no surprise you didn't know who they were. He was the head officer for UNIT back in the Classic Who era.

Hidden in plain sight is how Moffett writes and he gets us every time lol If you now go back and watch the first episode Amy literally tells you while on the beach after the Doctor dies 'oh it must be a duplicate or something', literally hidden in plain sight lol I really like this finale, lots of cool moments but Amy being cold blooded with the eye patch lady was amazing. Also some appreciation for Moffett, in the eleventh hour dropped the silence will fall line and he's dangling us along since, dam it Moffett tell us when silence will fall!! lol The place they mentioned at the end was Trenzalore.

I feel you on the wedding dress comment. I'm pale, even for a swede, so I feel that me in a wedding dress would probably be visible from space if I were to step into sunlight. Really looking forward to season 7. It has some of my favorite Doctor Who moments in it and it's gonna be a good time to revisit them with you.

I remember tearing up when I heard that, a really nice goodbye.

This episode i feel is a quintesential Who experience, its funny,sciencey, Wibbly Wobbly Timey Whimey and so so silly and yet it hits me with the emotions and the pure joy of the experience. Just a goofy good time!

I love this finale. I always end up wishing it was longer, but it manages to get so, so much done in 45 minutes! Like you said, Steven Moffat’s imagination and inventiveness are amazing. I don’t think I guessed the ending when I first saw the episode, but while Moffat lays out all the clues in plain sight, his awesome powers of misdirection win out most of the time. I loved the steampunk London skyline at the beginning. And most shows would have built an entire episode around the places the Doctor visits before he reconnects with Dorium. The worldbuilding is incredible. Timey wimey mystery tied up (fairly) neatly by the end and emotionally satisfying – I just love this conclusion. Technically the Doctor does what he needs to do to fulfil the ‘fixed point’ without it becoming a paradox. He turned up and was shot – albeit he came pre-prepared. “Time said I had to be on that beach, so I dressed for the occasion; barely got singed in that boat.” As others have said, UNIT commander Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, commonly known as The Brigadier, and played by Nicholas Courtney, appeared in a few stories with the Second Doctor in the Sixties before becoming a regular in the Third Doctor’s era and the early years of the Fourth. Nick also appeared alongside the First, Fifth and Seventh Doctors and reunited with Sarah Jane in The Sarah Jane Adventures two-parter ‘Enemy of the Bane’. He was due to return alongside David Tennant as Doctor 10 in the 2010 two-part Sarah Jane Adventures story ‘The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith’ (which took place between ‘Waters Of Mars’ and ‘The End of Time’). Sadly, Nick’s health wouldn’t allow it and he passed in 2011. That TARDIS scene was a lovely moment of tribute to someone who meant so much to fans and to the Doctor. The place Dorium mentioned was Trenzalore by the way – “On the fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the Eleventh, when no living creature could speak falsely, or fail to answer, a question will be asked. A question that must never, ever be answered.” More Moffat shenanigans await! I love series 7, so much to look forward to, including the 50th anniversary. Wishing you and Drew a lovely anniversary and happy holidays.

That's it people we have had Angela crying for 8 episodes straight

When I realized the Doctor didn't actually tell River his name in this episode, I had a theory that he actually told her his name in Let's Kill Hitler. He whispered something in her ear and she replied, "I'm sure she already knows. "

John

Rory's superpower (other than coming back to life) is his ability to just go with the moment. His simple "Ok" when Amy tells him they got married and had a daughter and it was River was perfect. He had another similar moment in Let's Kill Hitler when he jumped on the motorcycle and Amy asked if he could ride one and he replied, "I expect so. It's been that kind of a day." Dude just rolls with whatever curve the universe throws at him.

John

The name of the place Doriam mentioned was Trenzalore.

Just a heads up for next season: it's split. 1-5 and then the Christmas special and then 6-13. Amazon doesn't have the Christmas special (The Snowmen) with the season. IDK where to watch it though. Edit: nevermind, your husband is on it. Lol!

"Doctor Who!?" gave such a shiver back then, yikes. What a clever bit of meta writing that was :) The Brigadier was one of the most-beloved characters in Classic Who, like Sarah-Jane Smith. Hearing of his death enabled the Doctor to accept his own (if temporarily).

Amazon does have the Christmas episode, but it's not included in the season and is a bit awkward to find.

The Brigadier was a Classic "earth-bound" companion who showed up frequently and was essentially the Doctor's longest running companion. He has been referenced on the show before, but the main reason they wrote this scene is that the actor who played Brig actually died in real life. It was quite a fitting way of having the Doctor face mortality, by facing the Brigs death, a companion that felt like he'd live forever.

Angela I have been absolutely loving your Doctor Who reactions. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much I look forward to every Wednesday (and Wednesday on Thursdays).

Such a good finale episode. And I like the symmetry - last season ended with so many enemies of The Doctor from across the span of existence getting together to lock The Doctor in a box, this season ended with so many calls from so many friends friends of The Doctor across the span of existence that it interfered with technology like sunspots.

One of Moffat's greatest strengths is weaving complex plots around the simplest, most obvious things. How does the Doctor survive? The Teselecta! (Like Amy said in the first episode, 'is he a clone or a duplicate or something?') What's THE question, the FIRST question, HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT? LITERALLY hidden in plain sight - it's the name of the show! ;) Genius. So complex, and so simple, all at the same time. And also, it's a very good question. Who, after all, is the Doctor? After all this time, do we even know? This series is a meditation upon the legend of the Doctor. And how he reacts to that. And there's much more to come :)

DSJ.

Also: Something that took me a long time to realise - from 18:30 to 19:21, he's trying to signal to River that it's okay, he's in the Tesselecta. The slight wink at 19:20 specifically. She doesn't get it then, but he tells her later. A very nice detail. He was always trying to let her know that he had a plan and he'd be fine - that she wouldn't kill him. 'Look into my eye'.
