Doctor Who 3x8 REACTION!! "Human Nature"

[@InfamousHei]

One of the best two parters in this show and it shows how good David Tennant is

[@ProjectT]

"These guys are such a threat that he has to change" *Laughs knowingly*

[@claris3056]

"SHUT UP. STOP TALKING. CEASE AND DESIST. THERE'S A GOOD GIRL." Love it. Definitely the line from Doctor Who I've quoted the most. Me and my sister used it for years to shut each other up! Also any time Viserys confronted anyone in GoT! XD

[@vdesatch6273]

ClarIs I love the Son of Mine so much. Hands down my favourite villian from Tennant's era.

[@carlover9127]

Actually my favorite Villians of Tennant's era. Very original and fun. I

[@zemoxian]

When I see a red balloon 🎈 I think of Daughter-of-mine before I think of It.

[@StormageddonTMS]

Holy shit Viserys Targaryen was bullying Jojen Reed

[@ngatiramona]

Martha Jones actually becomes The Doctor and he; the clueless human companion. The hard backbreaking work she endured at that time, under those conditions.. Martha was extraordinarily heroic and phenomenal. Not only keeping him and the Tardis safe, in a time when women, and especially those of colour were subject to abuse and bigotry.. but doing so without super powers or another companion to lighten the load. Its not the only time she rightfully outshines the Doctor. Just wait.

[@sophiefilo16]

For half your comment, I thought you were talking about the series 3 finale. Just goes to show how Martha has always been a major badass, doing what most people wouldn't have the strength to do for the good of others, even if she has to do it all alone...

[@HuntingViolets]

Martha is the best.

[@dragonlcrd]

David's acting in this two parter is freaking amazing, especially in the second part. Gets me every time.

[@Wolf6119]

Man I love this two-parter so much. The Family plot is really fun, and I love all of the undertones related to World War I looming on the horizon. Just great stuff. *Sniiiff* (Also yeah nobody eats sardines and jam, it was just a disgusting combination Martha came up with because she suspected the girl wasn't human)

[@pcgaming4944]

Good ol Viserys

[@CosmicAeon]

God damn I knew he looked familiar.

[@martynnotman3467]

PCGaming and jojen reed!

[@0okamino]

He could really use that golden crown about now.

[@isaacc7]

The book this is based on is much darker. It was written for the 7th Doctor and Benny was his companion, a classic combo. The upperclassmen actually hanged the young kid and killed him in the book but was brought back to life by the Doctor’s artifact. This two parter is a really good adaptation but the book Human Nature is a fantastic read for anyone that is in to Doctor Who.

[@isaacc7]

Atharv Sankholkar the “New Adventure” series had a much darker, adult vibe. The 7th Doctor was the most manipulative Doctor of all time. Unfortunately his companions ended up getting caught up in his machinations. Poor Ace! The books made between the end of the series in 1989 and the TV movie indulged in some darker themes. The New Adventures starring the 7th Doctor (and later with Bernice Summerfield on her own) and the 8th Doctor stories are incredible additions to the Doctor Who universe.

[@vdesatch6273]

6:08 With that line, I can't wait until next week where we find out he wasn't 'running away' Also, the Son of Mine is my favourite villain from Tennant's era; I love him so much.

[@kylano525]

I was actually thinking the same thing when he said that.

[@quietdemon8138]

I know I am 5 years late to this comment but cool fact the actor that plays the son is the great great great grandson of Charles Dickens, not the actor from The Unquiet Dead the REAL Charles Dickens

[@darthnazgul]

These two episodes are some of the best of Tennant's career as an actor. Fantastic performance.

Another little Easter Egg that only really, *really* nerdy Who fans would get, when John Smith said his parents were named Sydney and Verity, after Sydney Newman, the Head of Drama at the BBC at the time who came up with the concept, and Verity Lambert, the show's first producer.

[@mauricioramirez8817]

I never realized that.

[@rakoonshampoo2608]

I Z Wait so are you saying that you watched An Adventure In Space and Time and while you were watching you remembered one little line in another episode?

This story is one of my favorites from Ten's era, shows how really good of an actor David Tennant is. I haven't read the Seventh Doctor Virgin New Adventures novel it's based on though, but i might since it has Benny Summerfield

The "son" in the family is played by Harry Lloyd, who went on to play Viserys in _Game of Thrones,_ among other things.

Well Jojen Reed, but have you noticed that he talks to Viserys Targaryen? :-D

[@Potato98765]

I love how quickly Martha was able to detect something was wrong with her friend. Meanwhile Rose goes on a date with plastic Mickey.

[@somthingbrutal]

it's not a military school, just a standard private school of the time. corporal punishment was standard in all uk schools up until the 1980's.

[@DextroDNAOfficial]

You'll find out in the next part why the Doctor ran instead of fighting them.

[@alexandermercer5363]

Next is the 'being kind' episode... HELL YEAH!

[@carlover9127]

This two parter actually has great baddies. Very original ones for doctor who. One of my favorite episodes of ten.

[@alex_gaimar]

Oh, they talked over the Gallifrey

[@jeckjeck3119]

-Face palm-

[@beepboopethanj]

I agree that they're talking to much, but Eric was the one who wasn't paying attention to the Gallifrey line. Aaron popped to attention when he heard Gallifrey.

[@vdesatch6273]

Kevin Dean Well Aaron has an excuse, since he's seen it.

[@kayleighmorrison9614]

This two parter is my absolute favourite. Everything about is amazing. The story, the characters, the villains, the acting. Next episode had a bit of an emotional gut-punch. Makes me cry everytime.

[@Gxbbzee]

4 more outstanding episodes in a row to go, it's gonna be awesome!

[@justsomerandomguyonline1144]

Gibbzee Come On Family Of Blood, Utopia, The Sound Of Drums And Last Of The Timelords Are Masterpieces don’t saying Blink is good because it’s not

[@Mrazmatmahmood]

Gibbzee 5 more, Last of the Timelords is good too.

[@Mrazmatmahmood]

The tactical Shark That's not what it is at all though. The Master created the Archangel network to subdue the human race using a psychic signal to convince them he was Harold Saxon and vote for him. In the year since The Doctor was enslaved by The Master, he was busy trying to psychically integrate himself into the network. At the same time Martha was travelling the world telling stories about The Doctor giving them hope. Martha was also eventually captured by The Master and he started the countdown to launch his war fleet on the universe. Martha had told everyone she had met to think about The Doctor simultaneously once the countdown started. Using the combined psychic energy of the people, projected and amplified by the 15 satillites that make up the Archangel network, it channels it all to The Doctor, rejuvenating him. I'm not trying to say it was the perfect ending and was completely satisfactory but within the context of the story, it made complete sense. A lot of people say the science of it is far fetched but this is Doctor Who. Some suspension of disbelief is required. The religious overtones are also a bit heavy-handed but again, it isn't nearly enough to ruin the story for me. Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Timelords is still a great finale.

[@Wondrous_U]

Utopia is coming boys!!!!!!!

[@TheGohanSkywalker]

Fun fact about this episode and its follow-up: It's actually an adaptation of an expanded universe novel the author of the episodes wrote for the Seventh Doctor in the long hiatus between seasons. He was offered the chance to adapt the story by Russell T Davies (who also wrote some EU novels at the same time), and by God am I glad he did.

[@taylortierney6542]

A strawman fallacy is defined as being when you restate someone else's argument, and distort it or reword it, so that it has obvious easy to refute flaws. You create a copy of your opponent out of straw, and attack them instead of your argument, so to speak. Person 1 makes a claim. Person 2 resates that claim, but rephrases it so as to be obviously wrong, and then states that that proves the claim is false.

[@kwesiidun8512]

Fun fact: Harry Lloyd, who played Baines in this two-parter, is a great-great-great-grandson of Charles Dickens! Also, not all school teachers in the UK wear caps and gowns, particularly not in the state sector. This story was based in a Public School with the standards of the Georgian era (note Public School is what we call our private boarding or day schools in this country). It would have been standard practice for Public School teachers to wear a cap and gown in the 1910s, but not state. Even these days some teachers in schools like Eton College and Harrow School wear caps and gowns, but not universally. If you went to school in this country, teachers would just be wearing ordinary shirts, suit trousers and Oxfords. Maybe a suit at most.

[@ReconRecall]

The young actor who plays Baines as like a tiny Tim Curry I love his silly yet funny performance!

[@summernovah]

OMIGOSH WAIT. I TOTALLY FORGOT UNTIL NOW BUT I HAVE HIS JOURNAL FROM THIS EP

The Family of Blood and the Episode after it (Blink) are some of my favorite Doctor who episodes of all time.

[@KoishNoish]

It's funny that you mention Jojen, seeing as Viserys (sniffy guy) is also in the episode.

[@assailant8722]

[@psychojoe4764]

[@thestargateking]

With a strawman argument you often misinterpret the argument to make a more simplified version that is easier to defeat

[@GabimaruSano]

They’re ripping on Charles Dickens’ literal great, great grandson (Harry Lloyd)😂.

[@Nic-dz5dm]

It’s so tragic how it feels like the doctor just always wanted Rose back and always thought of her

[@dqixsoss7436]

The last three episodes of this season are really good! Can’t wait for you to see it!

[@franl155]

David Tennant plays three roles in this pair of peisodes: the Doctor, John Smith, and the Doctor pretending to be John Smith - the Doctor's John Smith is subtly different from David Tennant's. What I love about Doctor Who is the attention to detail to the tiniest things: in this episode, there's a certificate on John Smith's study wall showing that he passed a course - not seen it yet, by the time I get this far into the episode I forget to look. If you want a further scarecrow-Doctor Who connection, try "Worzel Gummidge" - Brit kid's series, based on books about a scarecrow played by Jon Pertwee

[@IG7799-c4u]

Paul Cornell is a really good writer, shame he didn't write much else.

[@SpectrumStorms]

He wrote more, but this is his only TV story.

[@IG7799-c4u]

It's worth mentioning, if nobody has already, that this story was actually a reworked version of a Doctor Who novel from the early 90s called Human Nature orginally starring Sylvester McCoy's Seventh Doctor. Paul Cornell, writer of this two-parter, also wrote the novel. I haven't read it myself but it's still in print.
