Doctor Who 7x3 FULL LENGTH Reaction | A Town Called Mercy

FULL LENGTH REACTION

Comments

I’m writing this before. I’ve watched the episode with you, but from memory. This might be my least favorite. Matt Smith episode because of the western setting, which is strange because back to the future three might be my favorite, which I know is unconventional.

I really like this episode. Matt Smith is terrifying in it and I always get chills when he lets this part show.

I'm glad you enjoyed Crichton's appearance. He is like comfort food for me.

In retrospect, the theme of the season becomes clear. The first clues are already there. You just won't be able to notice them at this point. Don't worry—the theme will become clearer soon. Enjoy the trip—and always keep tissues handy—for tears of joy or sadness... It's Doctor Who, after all. 😉

Why are people getting so excited for Angela to see this episode in particu— ohhhh yeahhhhhhhhh 😅

This season was aired in two halves, so it was a pretty spread-out experience for us. As I recall, they also were aiming for a larger cinematic feel to these episodes, and it certainly seems to be working for ya! "John Chrihton!" was my reaction too, even though I hadn't watched all of Farscape yet. He's so memorable.

I remember my personal theory from when I was watching as it aired. I wasn’t even close 🤣

I love this episode, Matt Smith was amazing as always, his angry scenes were intense! And I love them exploring that theme of how complex people can be and it isn't necessarily just good and bad, big fan of this episode. Not seen Farscape so didn't know the Sheriff, he was excellent, but the moment you were like Oh I know him I was like...uh oh...brace yourself! lol

I was looking forward to that moment of recognition and it did not disappoint. I remember having a similar, "Wait, was that Ben Browder?" moment, but I had it after the previous episode's "next time." Of course that biases me, but I do very much enjoy this one. I like how Matt can swing between youthfully cheerful and curious and world weary old man,, and The Doctor has seen so much that his anger is understandable. He was having a "Why doesn't Batman kill the Joker" moment. I like the way the layers of the story unfold. And I think the ending is very fitting - the Gunslinger killed the sheriff, and then became the sheriff.

Hero or villain? Good or bad? Sometimes it's both. It's easier to punish a villain if you don't know of their good deeds. It reminds me of a quote from Samara in Mass Effect, "If I must kill a man for violating The Code, do I really want to know he was a devoted father?"

I was waiting for you to catch on that it was Ben Browder. I like how dark the Doctor went by letting Solomon die in the last episode, it allowed the Doctor to let his rage show. The Doctor does need his companions to keep the “Time Lord Victorious” inside him in check and remind him of who he really is. If I remember correctly they had a slight budget increase and they shot this episode in Spain to take advantage of that “spaghetti western” feel to the episode. A lot of where they shot was used back in the 60’s for westerns and was actually cheaper than building a full town from scratch.

I love the eps where there's a real moral dilemma like this one, where nothing is black-and-white. But I think the Doctor's problem when he travels alone is kind of the opposite of the way you describe it: It's not that he becomes more emotional, it's that he becomes colder. He's more prone to thinking that he knows what's best and he should just act decisively for the greater good even if there's collateral damage. Companions remind him to care about the smaller things, to be kind, and to follow his better instincts.

Doctor Who is at its best when the line between good and bad is blurred, and somehow amongst its wibbily wobbily silly sci-fi tendencies becomes one of the most heartfelt and real dramas there has ever been. It's been a long time since I have seen this episode [although I always remember the 'his name is Susan' quote!] but it's a goodun'! Series 7 is such a strong series, as far as I can remember there isn't a weak episode in the whole run in fact. The twists and turns ahead are memorable too as we start to head towards the 50th Anniversary of the show... and on a more personal note, 2026 is the 30th Anniversary of me being a Whovian. Watching the 1996 TV Movie with Paul McGann as the 8th Doctor was my entry into this world. And between 1996 and 2005 when Eccleston turned up as the 9th Doctor I went back and discovered the classic era on VHS and TV reruns. 30 years, wowza...

I knew you'd have a visceral reaction to seeing Ben Browder. I had a bit ot one too. For after Farscape, he was a lead character on of my favorite shows, Stargate SG-1, for two seasons and two movies. (And Farscape alumnus Claudia Black also starred with him during that same time!) And of course, had the same feeling seeing him in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. :)

About eight months before this episode was announced, I saw Ben Browder at a convention in Toronto. During his Q&A panel, someone asked if there was a show he'd love to appear in. He answered, with a smile and no hesitation -- Doctor Who. 🥰
