You’re, “Good choice! 😁…Did you die though?” 🤔 Had me in stitches! 😂

Nine is an underrated Doctor.

She's the Anti-Doctor🤔

Looking forward to your reactions my favourite season is 3 and 4 and some of 5

Fun fact, the multiple short episodes format is actually a lot more similar to how Classic Who used to function. In classic who one story would be split across 4-8 episodes filmed to fit a far shorter weekly time slot. As you can imagine, watching week by week the seasons last a lot longer. A part of me wishes they would go back to it in all honesty, paradoxically the shorter episodes allows longer stories to be more commonplace.

The director, Sam Mendes, the score composer, Thomas Newman, and Paul Newman deserved oscars for this film.

Luke is my favourite character in the series. Tommy Knight played him really well.

Great catch for them to get Samantha Bond to play the first ever villain for this series.

CRYING! 😢 another season finale that I ALWAYS cry at. I love this show so much. I am so glad you are enjoying the show.

Go Kylie 😊 She’s a fantastic actress and a pop star too.

I enjoyed SJA. It’s for kids, and still feels like Dr Who. Very much so. Torchwood is dark enough that it doesn’t feel like it’s in the doctor who universe to me. I’m really glad you are doing SJA. There are some characters that I would love to see on regular who. “We all get it wrong. Constantly”. What relief I felt I my late teens when I realized that! Remember Slithern is a family surname, not a species. The Slitheen are a massive crime family, from raxicofalipatorious (I’m sure I misspelled that).

Dont go to schools they are full of aliens lol. Either slitheen or Krillitanes lol

While the Slitheen are better suited to a kids show I do think they are worse here. The actors are camping it up to ludicrous levels. Thankfully the actual character work and development for our heroes is really strong in this story.

Replacing Kelsey with Clyde is an instant improvement. I'm not sure how the show would have even worked without him. I mean Sarah, Maria and Kelsey can't teach Luke how to be a boy. You need another boy in the main cast to both be his mentor and opposite.

I'm glad you're doing SJA & Torchwood as nearly every other DW reactor doesn't. Hopefully, you do "Class" too when you get to that Doctor + Thank You for doing the 2 parts together 😅

Upminster - it had a windmill. I used to live in the town next door: Hornchurch. (There was a pair of horns on the church. Really.)

I'm glad you chose to watch both episodes in one reaction sitting- it will work much better that way! How did Clyde know all the school locations were at the ends of tubelines? If you lived in London then you would recognise that information. It's part of London 101.

Sarah Jane & the Fourth Doctor were my first pairing and she remains one of my favorite companions. It was good to see her so many years later step back into the role as a more mature character who has lived alone for many years but suddenly discovering the world through the eyes of teens.

The Slitheen are so delightfully camp, in their skin suits - the actors are giving such fun!

Just a reminder that Slitheen is the family name not the species name. The species are raxacoricofallapatorian.

Does anyone else think about how the child slitheen is wearing a child's skin?

sarah jane says a friend once said "Slitheen in downing street". This a reference to one of the things rose said during their argument where they keep listing to each other what aliens they've each encountered with the doctor. This episode also features the fictional news reporter Trinity Wells on tv. She made her first appearance in the Slitheen two parter in doctor and was also used in the Christmas Invasion and Sound of Drums.

I believe the official reason they replaced Kelsey with Clyde was to better gender balance the ensemble, but I suspect that another reason may be that reviewers found her too irritating. Also, something interesting with the formatting of two, half hour episodes making one story is not dissimilar to the formatting of classic who, aside from a single series it was 30 minuite episodes that formed multi part stories, typically in later years 4 part stories, but they were longer in earlier seasons. It would not surpries me if the series was formatted this way as a homage to that.

I'm happy to see you enjoy this story so much. For me it is rarely as as apparent as it is here that I'm not the target audience of the show. You're right: It does make sense for a kids programme to bring back the fart aliens. Luckily for me, SJA has way better stories in store then this one and I can't wait to see you explore them.

When you finish Torchwood and SJA (gods, that'll be so far in the future) you should check out another Doctor Who spinoff called Class. It's a story about students in a school but it's gritty and dark and mature at the same time, meaning it's truly like a Torchwood/SJA hybrid, which is so weird given how tonally opposite they both are. Sadly cancelled after one season but still fun.

I'm sure someone told you already but all of Sarah Jane Adventures up to the end of series 3 happened before the end of time specials which come after Doctor who series 4 I think Clyde is an infinitely better character than Kelsey so I never missed her. I remember watching all of this live and the stories being all split into two parts was equal parts great and maddening 😅

The Slitheen are silly, but I've actually always really liked the design of the Raxacoricofallapatorians. The horizontal blinking is cool, the few details we get of their hunter culture seem interesting, and there's some solid practical costume work in some scenes. I love all of the arcs for the main trio in this show, but since he wasn't in the pilot I'll call some attention to my boy Clyde. I love how in this episode he learns that "cool" is what you make it rather than what everyone else makes it, and that something doesn't have to be popular to be cool, so he ultimately decides to be friends with Luke and Maria after being quite rude initially. Just a good little bit of believable growth for a teenage character, and it's well acted by Daniel Anthony. Sarah Jane and Luke figuring out the whole mother and son dynamic is also really sweet and earnest, it warms my heart.

Clyde was my first crush as a kid 😅 he’s still my favourite SJA character too so well acted

You saw 12 angry men 1957 remake like my cousin Vinny 1992 and... tne best old cool movies lve ever seen all quient on the westernfront 1930, the life of Emile Zola 1937, the three faces of eve 1957, Freud 1962, network 1976 plus Christine 2016, frost Nixon 2008 plus the candidate 1972, the outsiders 1983 plus freedom writers 2007, Gan dhi 1982 plus Cesar Chavez 2014 end Norma Rae 1979.

1st!!!

Fun fact: The last surviving passenger onboard the RMS Titanic, Millvina Dean, lived to see this episode. After she saw the ending scene from The Last of the Time Lords, where the bow of the ship crashes into the TARDIS, she got upset because she thought the show was going to be using the real Titanic and found it disrespectful to her father and to everyone else who had died that day. A Doctor Who spokesperson contacted her to assure her that the show would, in fact, not be depicting the real ship.

Also I love that you always call out the music. And the traveling alone, who lives who dies makes a person a monster, middle distance stare moment . . . Foreboding.

Be on the lookout/ listen for references to the “Mr Copper” foundation. No spoilers. Just ears on.

I love that every actor clearly embraced that the movie is supposed to be more on the cheesy side. SO GOOD!

To answer your question, it was a happy ending. 🤘🏼👍🏼👏🏼

YEAH, AND they’re gonna watch The Tonight Show. 😂😂

You should try the expanse series

This just isn't a fun episode to watch. It's an old-fashioned disaster movie and a poor Christmas episode. The only bright spot is Bernard Cribbins.

I've seen this film dozens of times over the years and it has never failed me, I ALWAYS laugh, I usually catch some new clue or nuance in the script, and I remain duly impressed at the talent of the Coen's to, once again, craft a script so convoluted yet so simple that it is high science, pure art. There is an entire subculture now around The Dude (Dudeism) , it's all a joke and everyone is in on it but they're also serious about it. Abide.

I LOVE the David Tennant specials. They are great! Yay you are about to start one of the best seasons !!!

I've watched numerous reactions to this film and this is one of my favorites. You not only do your research for perspective and context you have good insight to the plot in real time. I'd highly recommend Tarantino's book on the characters in this film, it's a whole universe of intrigue.

Alonso just does not deserve this crap. And yeah, it may be called the Titanic but the adventure was more like the Poseidon.

By the time i heard (i live on the west coast so we're 3 hours behind) it was 11 on the east coast. I couldn't believe i slept through it. It was so devastating.

Too bad Bannakaffalatta and Astrid couldn't get married. Maybe in the stars. Wish they had saved the name Astrid (a TARDIS anagram). I think I would have liked less death in this episode (It's not like It's the original Titanic) and if Martha had stayed on for one more adventure.

Been looking forward to this

A strong suggestion would be to watch an old 1970's UK tv show. "Keeping Up Appearances". I don't care how many times I watch, am always on the floor. Ask your followers if they think you should.

I saw an interview with Quentin Tarantino where he said the film The Thing inspired this story. A group of people trapped together unsure of who to trust.

Forgot the new theme music comes in here cause I just call it the Series 4 theme lol. Love the extra bit of rock, and really hits that last DUN DUN DUN DUN.

Kylie!!!

4th season is hands down the best of modren who. You're in for a fun ride.
