Doctor Who 2x6 REACTION!! "The Age of Steel"

[@DarkElfPaladin]

Eric:"That's a big wheelchair, it would be hard to get through doors" Cybermen: " the doors will be upgraded"

[@helpmeiamtrapped]

This episode is very special for me. My Grandad started watching the show from around here and this was the first episode we talked about together. He knew how much I loved the show. Little did I know he was very ill and unfortunately he died a few months later but I'll always have our conversations about each episode, just like you guys.

[@jamesginty5688]

have you seen "Doctor Who - A Reboot for Series 11?!" from EMS Productions on you tube.

[@karkatvantas9557]

Fun fact: It was revealed in a deleted scene that Jake and Ricky were boyfriends.

[@kaiser_Haux]

Yep it was just after the doctor and rose left

[@Tayvin4042]

Huh, cool, that explains some things. Shame it got cut.

[@erengard4670]

Interestingly, while not canon, a deleted scene for this episode confirmed Ricky and Back-Street-Boy were in a relationship.

[@Fanatic_Foremem]

I think there was enough hints IN episode to indicate that.

[@erengard4670]

Same, and while that scene was specifically cut in still informed the others during filming. Just found it interesting given how the guys kept joking on how Ricky was gonna try and supplant Micky in Rose's life. :)

[@ZakJordan98]

Jess Williams and how they headed for Paris afterwards

[@Liesmith424]

Doctor Who operates more on "dream logic" than real logic.

[@archive9796]

Well that's New who due to being only 45 mins

[@LORDdrPepper]

You guys need to take in to account that this episode is about a decade old

[@archive9796]

Yes also are British so like camp is just naturally in our culture

[@UnclePalpy]

"He's defeated them all with depression!" At least it wasn't with love... oh wait.

[@AnthonyWilliams840]

14:01 "this urban youth", Shane did you become like 90yrs old when you said that???

[@australianwi-fi]

@@MrBigNicholas yea, I always think the same thing when watching older Blind Wave content. Also it's interesting seeing how openly horny the crew was compared to now lmao. Especially Shane, dude seems like a creep. Good move getting rid of him, Blind Wave is better for it.

[@fkez0510]

@@australianwi-fi Shane left because he was struggling with his mental health, they didn't just "get rid of him"

[@NeoDragonCount]

Cybermen are personally my favorite villains in Doctor Who due to both the loss of individual autonomy and body horror. While these Cybermen are mostly brains in jars, earlier Cybermen, and later on these ones, usually just carve you open, removed some of your major organs and replace them or augment them with mechanical replacements or grafts and lastly build the suit around the vivisected body. The 2006 design was also my favorite since the unison marching pretty much emphasized that you're now a perfect extension of a collective hive mind and basically a perfect little soldier, like in some Stalinist regime where they essentially do treat people as mere extensions of the government's will. I also think the loud stomping serves as an effective psychological warning, since, while you can run all you want from them, since they never tire, eventually they will catch you or find you and either convert your or just kill you.

[@lukeyread]

I'm so pumped for you guys to see some of the exciting things to come. A while to go but Series 4 and 5 are my favourites and I can't wait to see your reactions

[@hannandersha]

Aww, at the "I just want the band to stay together."

[@justsomerandomguyonline1144]

I just realised that 3 episodes out of the next 5 are The Idiots Lantern, Love and Monsters and Fear Her

[@KoffingOnion]

arguably, the episodes of who, period.

[@BlueSparxLPs]

I still don't think that Love and Monsters deserves the hate it gets. It's a really good episode until the ending--which is the only bad part. If you can look past the ending, everything else is very enjoyable to watch. The Idiot's Lantern is one that I used to dislike, but I rewatched it again awhile back and actually somewhat enjoyed it. It's a drier episode, but not bad. Fear Her is one that I'll agree is absolutely terrible. There is absolutely no good that I can say about it whatsoever.

[@dochry7301]

The resolutions to episodes of DW may not always make sense or may seem to convenient, but try and remember that the Doctor isn't like most protagonists of typical sci-fi shows like Legends of Tommorow. He has to use his intellect rather than brute force which can be very hard for writers to come up with all the time as opposed to Legends of Tomorrow while there is still intellect most problems they encounter or villains they face they just punch their way out of it.

[@Abjess]

"That backstreet boy is really upset" LOL ya got me good.

[@annapires991]

"That's the dumbest fuck I've ever seen" LOL this is Doctor Who alright. And I love it, shameless. But guys, just drop trying to find logic and tie knots on this show, you will see how fun it is once you embrace Shane's phrase.

[@KoffingOnion]

Well they shouldn't not apply logic, because thats what everyone does and if the writers can't use logic, that's bad writing.

[@annapires991]

KoffingOnion Is essentially a children's show, complaining abt bad writing in it is hilarious. Especially with the ever changing of screen writers. And no, nonsense does not equal bad writing, what does is when a writer contradicts the show's own rules abt the universe it proposes. Aka what GoT did, what Walking Dead have been doing for a while, etc. DW will have some serious issues down the road, but these first episodes are so silly and child friendly, is hard to put fault on it.

[@KoffingOnion]

it's not really a children's show, but more of a family show, that children can watch. I wouldn't really call mass murder child-friendly, but I watched it as a kid and I turned out fine. But regardless to that point, the show should still make sense and have good writing because it lets the story be better. Like an example of how bad writing negatively effects the episode is when the doctor is hiding from the cybermen and pulls out his sonic screwdriver, uses it and then the cybermen walk away. The viewer is left confused as to what actually happened. Did the cyberman stop investigating and get on with their job? Did the doctor's sonic make the cybermen leave them alone somehow? Wouldn't the loud sonic sound make them want to investigate? If the doctor did somehow make the cybermen leave them alone, that's overpowered and would solve a lot of other problem in the episode. Its never explained and looks quite dumb, taking the viewer out of the episode, which is bad. By showing the writing isn't taking writing seriously, it tells the viewer to not view the show seriously which removes any high stakes that the episode has. Personally one of my favorite things about this show is how logical it is and by telling the crew to not think about the show logically, it discourages them from understanding future episodes which almost require higher level thinking. Edit: And yes I have seen doctor who, thanks for checking

[@justsomerandomguyonline1144]

KoffingOnion it's became a Children's show since Moffat took over The Whole Era of Matt Smith was childish rubbish he was a good Doctor But had bad writing and don't get me started on Capaldi the worst Doctor ever he was so miscast he was a bad Doctor who had Bad Scripts

[@KoffingOnion]

JustSomeRandomGuy Online I disagree with you on so many fronts there but I'm going to stop myself now before we devolve into mindless argument about what's better and what's worse.

[@MrDude1198]

If you guys are going to complain about every "convenient plot device" then you're not going to enjoy most DW episodes. You just have to take it as it is sometimes.

[@mauricioramirez8817]

Mark Ryan I don't think they're complaining they just make fun of it in a light hearted way.

[@shaneginty990]

have you seen "Doctor Who - A Reboot for Series 11?!" from EMS Productions on you tube.

[@bobdallas4860]

Alex Hodgkinson This story had 90 minutes...

[@Domihork]

Exactly what I was thinking :D "If they don't like convenient plot devices, they're gonna go crazy during the Moffat era" :D

[@enclavekelsie8415]

It’s mainly Shane that complains. Other than that, it’s fine

[@casualcouch9459]

Doctor who predicted airpods

[@zemoxian]

Talking about walking villains... I just imagined a Halloween like parody where the slow walking villain is always catching up. Then in a scene where the victim is out of sight the villain runs at top speed via a shortcut then returns to menacing slow pace once in sight again. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if that joke was already in a movie somewhere.

[@Red-vo3sk]

This joke is already in Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

[@Aurora-po1rv]

Love Doctor Who but I have to admit I also get a bit frustrated when they use some convenient last minute object that they never foreshadowed to save the day.... it happens in most shows but it always irks me a bit so I totally understand!

[@archive9796]

Well that's just mainly New Who know

[@jjc5871]

As someone that worked with the ground crew for Goodyear, there is definitely NOT a wheel in their airships. Not their old ones anyway. I haven’t worked for them in about 10 years and all their blimps got replaced with Zeppelins a few years ago so I know nothing about what’s on the ships now.

[@TheGallifreyGal]

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! This is my favourite series at the moment! I clapped and cheered when I saw you posted this!!

[@kalakritistudios]

"Not mum" Doctor Who has cosmic value!

[@TheGnarly0ne]

I just did the math.... if my bois from Blind Wave continue at this pace to catch up on Doctor Who.... be ready for 3 years worth of reactions. Took them 4 months to get through Series 1. That x10 current series is 40 months which equates to 3.3 years. But since they are about halfway through this season it's gonna be around 2.8 years. However as they are catching up during that time 13 will have started so back up to 3 years. Excited to see all the reactions for the next 3 years.😁😂

[@highvoltage7797]

JCGnarlyDude Then do all the classics.

[@justsomerandomguyonline1144]

Classic Doctor Who recommendation Inferno since that's set on a parallel Earth or Tomb Of The Cybermen

[@BlueSparxLPs]

Inferno is one of those episodes that everyone seems to love, and I just don't get. I found it extremely boring and had to force myself to not shut it off early.

[@archive9796]

Spearhead from Space is the only season 7 story I don't find boring

[@DaveF.]

Yeah, I don't think anyone else tries to justify that awful cliffhanger resolution. I do love how much you guys continue to try and find some consistant logic to the transient elements of the show. Can't wait to see what you make of Love and Monsters.

It's very cheap

[@drmhr8890]

Gail Bortey Yes.

[@belterloda4256]

Merlin is one of my all time favourites. Honestly, I actually like it a lot better than Doctor Who. Especially now that Doctor Who is shit- at least Merlin ended before it could get shit

[@belterloda4256]

Nah, Merlin was great. To be fair, I barely watched any Primeval or Robin Hood, but I loved Merlin. The character interactions are so incredibly well written, and the acting talent is top tier. It also has a great overarching plot near the end. I won't spoiler it here but the ending episode was very somber and beautiful.

[@MisterInsectNasty]

Primeval was very good

[@belterloda4256]

They were not really getting "caught up with", the cybermen were kind of all over the place by this point

[@belterloda4256]

Also a sidenote, don't try to overanalyse this show too much. Honestly I agree there is a bit too much deus ex machina, but the main reason to enjoy this show is the great character interactions. Anyway, there are some really good episodes up ahead.

[@connorclarke853]

MORE DOCTOR WHO. I started watching at the same time as you guys and I'm on 5x10

[@IshikawaGoemon]

They also watch a ton of other shows, so more isn't happening. Just be glad you have reactions from them for the foreseeable future.

[@drmhr8890]

IshikawaGoemon Glad that you started watching.

[@dandabmouth9068]

recently started watching the old series seriously instead of just ran away watching an episode here or there whenever it was on and someone else put it on and the garlic's made the first variation of the Cybermen the robo men and that was also the first episode they said exterminate or one of those two episodes was the first one.

[@TheTrainfan44]

someone really need to tell them that they do have more than a week to film episodes. they have said this several times now.

[@DigitalFumbles]

Not much left of this series. Can't wait for series 3! The second one's good, but series 3 has some great episodes! Not that excited for next week's episode tho, it's always better than I remember, but it's still probably one of my least favourite New Who episodes. Then we've got that damned Love & Monsters thing, which would be a fine episode if not for the god damned ending. xD Wow, and Fear Her. Those three are all some of my least favourite New Who episodes. The end of series 2's pretty poor, innit?

[@irishnexus1180]

Christ I'm dreading Love & Monsters and Fear Her

[@ms_scribbles]

Fear Her still gives me the feels, so I've got a soft spot for it. The scene where the Doctor explains the Isolus to Rose and Chloe's mother, plus the way he talks to the Isolus and works with Chloe's mother to calm her just hits me right in the feels.

[@justsomerandomguyonline1144]

Series 3 is great apart from Blink

[@Damo2690]

I like the impossible Planet Episodes though

[@DigitalFumbles]

At least we'll be getting closer to series 3, which has some fantastic episodes~

[@fkadugetahon8388]

why do they hate micky so much??

[@ms_scribbles]

Trying to apply dry logic to a show like Doctor Who is an exercise in futility. There's some internal logic, to be sure, and up until you get to the Moffat era, the characters have real emotions and realistic reactions to what's going on around them, but trying to apply pure logic to how things work just isn't a good idea.

[@mirkecWii]

I just knew someone will do a slight jab at Moffat

Watch The Preacher season 2 pls. It`s good

[@Slade_The_Deathstroke]

I don't know if they'll continue watching Preacher since they didn't past watching the second episode. I'll admit, I stopped watching Preacher Season 1, around episode 4. Because it was slow and boring. As a fan to the comic book, I couldn't get into watching the show. Season 2 however, it is what I wanted from Season 1. It's turning out great.

[@jeckjeck3119]

Is not fake Mikey gay?

[@duncanmcokiner4242]

Only in deleted scenes. That has never been confirmed in the canon of the show.

[@Fanatic_Foremem]

So is there any chance Calvin or Aaron could make sure to skip THAT episode? I mean, I'm sure the reaction will still be entertaining, I just don't want to have THAT counted as part of the once a week deal.

[@katieee1203]

The crew don't skip any episodes. For anything they watch. Thats not how they do this.

[@Casualdoom12]

Dynasty Not even close to being true. Moffat is an amazing writer who has wrote some of the best stories the show has ever had. Yes sometimes he doesn't quite stick the landing with his story arcs but he writes great episodes that play with interesting sci-fi concepts and he understands the character of the Doctor better than RTD ever did.

[@dynasty971]

moffat is good at one-off stories and thats it. he ruined sherlock and thank god hes leaving doctor who

[@Casualdoom12]

The best episodes of Sherlock have been written by Moffat and I'll miss him when he goes because he gave us Series 5, 6 and 9. Three of the best Series the show ever produced. The only off Series in the Moffat era was Series 7 and that's not really because the stories were bad, they just weren't very memorable and Moffat even said the strain of production got to him that year.

[@UncleMilo]

Nope. Moffat's episodes were the best of the RTD era and Moffat never came close to giving us anything as bad as Love and Monsters.

[@morganlawton7237]

[@katieee1203]

Something Blind Wave always says is that if any of them are not enjoying what they are watching then they will drop out and leave it to the remaining members that do or if they are all not enjoying it then they will get rid of it entirely. So despite what you may think the crew are enjoying this. They don't watch something for views, thats not the kind of a channel Blind Wave is, so don't worry they are enjoying it.

[@Somebody-kj6be]

Just because they don't suck the episode hard, doesn't mean they don't like it.

[@M00SHTY]

This was a low point for doctor who I think. Just stick with i gentleman, it does get alot better

[@archive9796]

LOW POINT ? This was huge The favourite doctor and companion team with Sarah James return a few weeks ago and the Cybermen returns

[@M00SHTY]

At the time it was great but its hard to watch now, production of it was no where near what it is today. Doctor who had a lot of a filler episodes in the early season that literally had nothing to do with the rest of the season. Only in the recent seasons did they try to tie the whole season together with at least a few points of story telling that reminded you what the whole season was about.

[@karkatvantas9557]

The first part was good. This part is horrifically poorly written with many many moments that don't make a lick of sense. Plus it ruined the Cybermen.

[@karkatvantas9557]

Okay then. Why does the factory magically blow up when they kill the Cybermen? How did Lumic, a slow-moving Cyberman manage to get to the roof and onto the ladder within seconds of them without anyone noticing even though he left the control room like ten solid minutes after they did? How did the clanky Cybermen sneak up on The Doctor and Mrs. Moore? Only answer to all of these questions: Poor writing.

[@daviddreyton8586]

This_is_ellis You hate this season because of production that's low in comparison to today's who and the existence of filler episodes? So do you consider the first ten incarnations of Doctor Who as a 'low point' or is it something else that's particular to this season?

[@MrSilverTime]

Like all shows, it gets better... ...well, not this season. This season gets much worse before it gets better.
