Doctor Who 4x8 REACTION!! "Silence in the Library"

''Ice-Cream. Ice-Cream. I-Scream. I Scream..........''

[@TheGroucho66]

When Miss Evangelist's communicator is saying "Ice Cream" on a loop, I always understood it to be a deliberate homophone wherein it also sounds like she's saying "I scream" over and over, hence the ominous tone whilst it is happening. It's the juxtaposition between the light-hearted vibe of the phrase "ice cream" and the haunting vibe of the phrase "I scream".

I am aware that she has done better work. I only stated it to see if they would remember her from it. Back when they started reacting to this series, I wanted them to keep track of everyone they recognize from the Arrowverse as well as the MCU.

Doctor Who: show where the phrase "That was already going to have been happening" can actually be used.

[@iwillcry]

Anerye the best thing calvin said in this video 😂

[@Meteorite_Shower]

Loved that line. It also reminded me of an early Red Dwarf episode. "Hey, it hasn't happened, has it? It has 'will have going to have happened' happened, but it hasn't actually 'happened' happened yet, actually." "Poppycock! It will be happened; it shall be going to be happening; it will be was an event that could will have been taken place in the future. Simple as that."

[@Gxbbzee]

and this is where the fun begins!

[@hagridmary]

Yeah, I'd say every episode from here until the end of The Tenth Doctor's era is very reaction-worthy (apart from Planet of the Dead)!

[@thegentleassassin]

I'd go so far to say every episode from here until a few episodes into season 6 are reaction-worthy

[@hagridmary]

thegentleassassin Series 5 is full of great episodes, but I wouldn't say all of them are reaction-worthy: The Beast Below, The Vampires of Venice, The Hungry Earth/ Cold Blood and The Lodger are all forgettable imo.

[@thegentleassassin]

Tom Monty I’d maybe agree about The Beast Below and Vampires of Venice, but I think The Hungry Earth two-parter is quite underrated, and I’ll defend The Lodger till I die

River's and the Doctor's timelines occur in opposite orders. Every time he meets her, she knows him less and vice versa, with very few exceptions.

This two-parter is a pretty "iconic" duo of episodes for River Song's story arc, infact you can say it lasts a very long period, how long? Spilers ofc but she has a few good episodes throughout, even past Tenant (won't say more then that). Get used to River Song, she's a keeper.

[@markusixsilard1334]

Calvins "going to have been happening" reminded me of Douglas Adams quote:) One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can't cope with. There is no problem with changing the course of history-the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end. The major problem is simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you, for instance, how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be described differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is further complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations while you are actually traveling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own mother or father.

I know this video is old so i dont think anyone will see this. But my late father actually worked in the building that part of this episode was filmed in (see 3:06). When I was somewhere between 8 and 10, I forget the exact age now, not too long after thid episode, my dad took me here for my birthday. Being there in real life made me very uneasy about all the shadows. Fun fact: The books that they decorated the shelves with were still there, and they are actually all just empty binders with labels on them!

Which is a shame as they built her up to have a lot of potential

[@nickjrossi]

All her character development was off-screen. Every time​ we saw her she just told us how great her relationship with the Doctor was, rather than showed us. It felt like we just skipped an entire season of backstory with her.

When you think it hurts then, but it's not till much later you know just how much.
