FULL LENGTH REACTION

Comments

I dont get why people spoil shows like this. Like you are here, likely paying money for a reaction/watch along video and you ruin that for them and you? why?

My only problem with Donna is that she thinks she can scream at the problem and it get resolved. She is so LOUD. Otherwise, she's funny and brilliant and a wonderful person if she could only tone it down just a little bit. I do love this story. It's a good transition piece from saying goodbye to Rose, even with the flashes the Doctor has during the reception help with that goodbye, and lets us prepare for season 3. Donna was very much the comic relief and inspiration we needed to be able to move on to the next adventure. Allons-y!

Great episode, a good mix of Doctor grieving Rose and having those sad moments, while also showing a great chemistry between Doctor/Donna and David Tennant + Catherine Tate. A really great balance of both grieving the companion that just left, but also showcasing Donna and her story and relationship to the Doctor. Love your reaction and commentary! Can't wait for S3 and the new companion, imo the companion is quite underrated, but I really love them personally. S3 for me also is one of those series that has no bad episode. Some okay/average ones, but no bad ones (looking at you "Love & Monsters")

I’m so excited for you to meet Martha jones, one of my favorite people in doctor who , season 3 is gonna be a wild ride!! It also features one of my top 5 episodes in doctor who, it’s seriously that’s good!

It IS hard transitioning from companion to companion. I think mostly because we see a lot of ourselves in these companions as we dream of travelling with The Doctor ourselves.

I'm glad you stopped that preview from continuing. It has spoilers for the entire season -- or series as you say across the pond ; ) including a HUGE spoiler that you fortunately missed.

Y'know I thought I was going to come in here and talk about Donna characterization, but then you gave this amazing and open into about a sense of loss so I have to talk about the cycle that goes on for the Doctor and his companions. One of the best things for me is the genuine love and nostalgia with which the era RTD began treats its past. You see it first in the way it treats the Daleks very seriously as a threat, and then the cybermen, even though they're both a little goofy sometimes. You see it in the way it treats Sara Jane and K9 seriously as people who were in the Doctor's life. It would be easy and kind of in keeping with the Doctor's character to see regeneration as a sort of molt, where he sheds everything that went before and goes on anew, and for production reasons there's a bit of that, but thanks to that kind backward perspective it becomes a story less or loss and more of change. The doctor goes on and he changes and he has new companions but each is a very different relationship to the ones that come after, and it's only because we get to have such a long view of the Doctor, through his changes in entourage and his changes in self, that we get to see that. That we get to understand how change enriches and brings joy and pierces and pulls back. The ways in which moving on doesn't necessarily mean letting go, because for the Doctor very little is ever really let go. It's a perspective that I think has a lot of value.

I love this episode. It hits hard in the feels for me. Ugh. Looking at the comments in the edited version, I already see spoilers everywhere. Why do people do that? Why even refer to future episodes? I really don't get why people do that.

TGrimace

Is it hard to transition from companion to companion? Jeez. It can get very, very hard. This show is masterful at manipulating emotions, and they're just getting warmed up. Good rule of thumb: Just bring tissues. Always. You never know when the show is going to rip your heart out.

Ben

I think Donna has every right to be shouting given the circumstances.

Ben

I've noticed that whenever the Doctor is faced with danger you never seem to be bothered/worried by it. I understand why you think this way given the nature of TV and series leads but it's worth baring in mind that the Doctor isn't untouchable, for example, you weren't bothered by the robot santa's aiming their guns at him but you've said that you don't know when the Doctor regenerates, so for all you know, they could have shot him and this could have been his last episode. All I'm saying is don't be completely dismissive of those sort of scenes, but then again, I guess you can't fake something you aren't feeling.

Ben

With the scene near the beginning where Donna picks up Rose's jacket there was an extra bit to that scene where the Doctor takes the jacket and angrily throws it out into space but it was cut because one of the executive producers thought it would be too melodramatic.

Daniela Sannino

I think this is the perfect Christmas special to have after the S2 finale. Funny, silly, not too emotional. It's typical Doctor Who. I think my favorite thing is seeing the progression of Donna throughout the episode. She starts off as loud, annoying, brash and quite superficial. But man oh man as the episode progresses she finally starts to see the bigger picture of things. The way she pinpoints how the Doctor shouldn't travel alone and needs someone to tap into his humanity. Brilliant.

Rach

I think anyone could instinctively tell that it would be the most baffling writing decision in history to have a Doctor's regeneration happen in the first 10 mins of an episode because he was shot by a tombone. Don't ge tme wrong it would be VERY funny to do that after making such a big deal of 9's exit. but I don't think anyone would be genuinely worried it might happen.

Matthew Brench

The trailer you began watching at the end was a teaser for the whole next season, so don't worry about being too spoiled by that glimpse :)

John

When you were talking about still grieving for the loss of Christopher, and now Billie, it reminded me of someting Andrew Garfield said when discussing the loss of his mother. "Grief is all the unexpressed love we didn't get to tell them."

Ben

I was actually referring to to the scene towards the end just before he kills the Racnoss, but I know its obvious that nothings going to happen to the Doctor most of the time but she shouldn't let that get her complacent and not feel any sort of tension in those scenes.

funnylilgalreacts

I think me thinking that the doctor has plot armor and is invincible might end up making me surprised if something bad happens to him. I’m just not worried about it because I’m sure he always has the answer.

Tiny Octopus

Is it hard to say goodbye to each companion and each Doctor? Yes. Is it worth it for the travels? Absolutely. I think I said it before, but I absolutely didn't want to like Capaldi, and I resisted it so much, but eventually he won me over, just like every doctor does. But season three! And one of my absolute favorite episodes is coming up. Blink. No spoilers, but I think you'll love it.

Josef Schiltz

Just curious, Angela, as to if you've ever seen The Prisoner with Patrick McGoohan?

Nathaniel Castle

This was a strange one as i couldnt remember this episode, then i saw spider lady and it all came flooding back! The empress was very campy but i imagine it was alot of fun to play. So is a christmas wedding prepped for soon? exciting!

Nathaniel Castle

Oh and the transitions almost always hurt

Steven Kleckner

yes you DEFINITELY should not have watched that... :-P also... *me waiting for it* *Empress of the Racnoss appears* Angela: OH! No thank you! ME: THERE it is...

John

Sometimes everyone needs a Donna Noble to pop in for a bit and share some laughter. Yeah, losing companions is also hard. We lost the entire family this time.

Ejigantor

As to your question at the beginning of the episode, yes it is entirely normal to feel that way. The actress playing the Empress of the Raknos certainly seems to have gone to the Jeremy Irons in Dungeons & Dragons school of scenery chewing. Series three coming up next, and while I will give no specifics, I will say it's my favorite series of the Tennant era, and I absolutely love the opening episode.

Annabellae Priestly

Absolutely normal to feel this way. I still feel that way and I have watched the series several times over. Man, i just want you to binge the whole series and post it - i'll take 2 days off work and just binge it with you - lol. But in all seriousness, great reaction. I look forward to these episodes all week.

Companion transitions are devastating too. Actually, in a way, they can somehow be more devastating since the Doctor is ultimately the same character, but the companion isn't.

G Lam

One of your own pre-review comments could be a spoiler in itself if you knew which one, but of course I won't tell you which (I'm sure some people here thought "ooooooohhhh" when you said it). But now forget that... forget it... think of kittens or something. Remember that time K-9 was called a "bad boy"? Or the kid saying "are you my mummy?" There we go... One particular Doctor regen is (to me) a fair bit more emotional than the others, but again, I won't say which. However, there IS a possible spoiler in a comment on this thread, which if you have someone checking them for you (I think you should), they should check these comments for it. Either it's okay, and I'm overreacting, or it should be removed. I'm happy for mine to be removed under the same rules... but I think I've been careful being incredibly vague not mentioning actors/doctor numbers or any episode/season names/numbers. I will say that as much as I liked the first 2 seasons, this is where it starts ramping up for me. And for anyone reading this, yes, we are all excited for timey-wimey and ultimate ginge.
