9:30 I've always thought that that was just pure, blind luck. The pause was the Doctor trying to compose himself for the step forward to what was almost essentially certain death (but it's not like he could've gone back the way he came either).

[@leonwestbrook8742]

I always thought he could just hang himself of the side of the platform and scoot past without having to go near the big fan

I know her as Mrs. Oliver, the excentric writer from the detective series Poirot!

[@M22Records]

I think when the Doctor walks through the fan, he is just leaving it up to chance, that's why he looks so surprised when he gets through. That's how I always took it anyway.

[@kbg12ila]

I love Rose's reactions in this episode. Of her being overwhelmed by the aliens and her realising that everyone's dead.

[@joangibb7480]

I believe this episode exists to show us how The Doctor gets took know and basically vetted his companions. Are they accepting of other life forms or are they judgemental and racist. Are they brave and resourceful. Do they blame him when bad things happen and launch into a huge diatribe about all of it being his fault. If the companion passes the test then they are on board. There's a look he gives Rose when she mentions that someone is blue....and also when they are sitting on the steps together talking...he's assessing her. Also, she's assessing him and deciding in her mind what she's going to do. When he programs her phone makes it possible for her to phone home, he gives her a gift...safety, kindness, understanding how close she is to her mother. Women like that. Also, the chips thing...their first "date." In the last ending episode when she's sitting in the pizza parlor with Mickey and Mom and it's so mundane, like when she was riding on the bus eating chips, she's ranting against how boring and mundane her like would be again if she were stuck on Earth. They don't understand at all because they have no frame of reference. She has. She wants to get back to the adrenaline rush of traveling with The Doctor. Many episodes later when Mickey meets his parallel and starts pitching in and fighting the Cybermen, then he starts to understand and winds up with badass Martha. Rose can't go back to the dullness of her previous life. Dalek Review, when the young man was flirting with Rose ....she's a flirty girl and can't do that with The Doctor. Here she has a chance to be a bit flirty and girly. Just kind of shows another side of her that's still there, in a good way. Her relationship with The Doctor is much more serious and meaningful. Tennant once said, I paraphrase, that her flirty eyes have buttered many parsnips. Yup. Here she gets to put them to use. When you're ina bad situation it's never a bad idea to charm one of your captors and pull them over a bit to your side. I love that episode because there's so much to think about in it. Maybe if Robert Sherman wrote a few episodes for 2020 he could salvage what, to me, is an awful season. I still don't give a darn if any of them live or die. I also think that the black woman who played the new incarnation of The Doctor scared the crap out of Jodie. Aheblooked as if she were going to be eaten by a lion. Honestly, I'd like to see a few episodes with, sorry I don't know her name, the Black actress who played The Doctor, actually play The Doctor. She has a presence and when she says I'm The Doctor...I believe her because she believes it. She's commanding and awesome. Thank you for all this analysis. I've learned tons. I used to teach Language Arts and theater history classes but I always learn a lot from you. Harry, you're terrific!!!! Going to listen to the Harry Potter series too. I've read all the novels and seen all the movies and I sure do want to know what you have to say!!!!

That music that you were talking about is Rose's theme.

[@joecoates0]

Christopher Eccleston is my fav doctor. His acting is excellent, especially seeing him go from friendly and happy and somewhat goofy to terrifyingly intense and merciless in the blink of an eye.

[@sammalkie1707]

I think the scene where the doctor closes his eyes is just him focusing and hoping for some luck that maybe when he steps through the fan the 1.9999 chance that he makes it through happens

[@joangibb7480]

Or that be one with the force stuff from star wars...zen kind of thing...

[@winkles2314]

John Hurt was phenomenal, but I'd rather have had Eccleston in the 50th anniversary episode. Or had him in it too, best of both worlds.

[@catsdogsandlego10000]

The slow motion of time is meant to show him taking his time and focusing I think

[@mrbester2116]

The scene with the Doctor and the fan: He closes his eyes to listen to the rotation of the fan and maybe to feel it move past him (I don't know) - timing the intervals to calculate a rhythm/pattern. It is more reliable than his eyes, which takes a few milliseconds to feed his brain the information. And maybe seeing the fan would cause him to hesitate, and get chopped. Not magic, just hyper-Timelord-focus. And probably only there to look cool. (I speculate. But Eccleston is my Doctor, so I'll argue anything in his favour.)

It is quite possible that with Casandra's power, money and influence she could have had a hand in building the Platform One into a death trap explaining the existence of the sun filter button and the fan blade walkway.

[@flashstudiosguy]

You do actually have handles on aircrafts that can open the doors to the plane; one opens it normally for when you're on the ground and the other is for in case of emergencies, although many now have safety features that lock them unless the sensors detect the plane is at a safe enough altitude to allow the door to unlock, thus avoiding loss of cabin pressure mid-flight

[@tez.3508]

I think that the doctor does the thing with the fan is kinda explained after when he says "everything has it's time and everything dies" because he thought if it's his time it's ok but when he stepped through he knew it wasn't... or something like that

[@lapelcelery42]

The fact that there's a button to turn the sunshield off is nowhere near a stupid as the fact that there also isn't one to turn it back on.

[@MBRSims]

The bit with the fans to me always made sense because the Doctor is a Time Lord. It's in the name. It would make sense that, with their mastery of and deep connection to time that they would be able to precisely time their movements down to the millisecond, and that is what allowed the Doctor to perfectly pass through the fan

[@Hammelj]

6:50 I assume the shielding uses a lot of power or something so there is no point having it on if there is no need e.g. it is in between star systems

[@kooptt]

I like to think the ship was built by cassandras company so that there was a bunch of features that are completely intended to kill people

[@Amy-iu4ub]

When the doctor is stepping through the fans, I think in his head he slows time down. You also see this in heaven sent when he is falling, and at the start of the witches familier when they are explaining how he escaped from the robot assassins

[@magiv4205]

TARDIS Matrix interesting concept in retrospect, but sadly that concept was only introduced and explained later. I think that this scene is simply showing him going into intense focus such as to have a better chance at surviving the fan.

[@nightowl8477]

Okay, for what you said about humans (even though you don't want me to): The show likes to explore the idea of humans touching every corner of the universe, loving the thrill of exploration. This idea is mainly apparent in The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit. Remember when Donna asked the Doctor if humans are "survivors or a virus"? That is the biggest human, most consistent theme of the show. So, although it may bot be logical that we would be there at the end if time itself, I think Davies merely wanted to explore this philosophy

[@ashtonkimball5243]

The sneeze at the end sounds like a Super Mario jump sound effect. 11:24

[@kinnundo6434]

9:20 I think that, after what mrs Fangorn said to him about the time war, he had a moment of suicidal depression, all his survival instincts going out the window, and he just didn't care if he lived or died. That's how I've always interpreted it, at least. Either that or his thought process was as follows: "If I don't do this, everyone dies. If I try, I will probably die, but I could save everyone. No More."

[@godduck701]

You should review the doctor who episode "42". The guy who wrote this episode will be the new head writer after Steven Moffat leaves.

[@HarrysMovingMedia]

Good shout! I'll think about it!

[@spakythedig5132]

[@Joey-mm5nu]

I love this story just for the various Aliens. I wish they all got explored in later episodes though especially the Moxx as I love him!

[@GDS_Studios]

That bit where the doctor ‘clips’ through the fan, I always saw it as him slowing down time in his mind, ya know, cos he’s a time lord, so he can perfectly time his step through

[@tyrxian6452]

9:23 my guess is it's another example of "The Doctor's superspeed thinking" to figure out the exact second to walk through? Or something? I don't know, it's just a best guess

[@robinschicha4712]

Yes, Harry Potter will survive the End of the Earth!!

[@ContinuumGamer1]

So here's what I think happened with the fans, first off you can see the Doctor's eyes snapping around looking at the fan blades spin, probably trying to figure out it's RPM and then when he closes his eyes it's to focus on getting the timing right.

[@jmace2424]

I’ve always thought 9 closing his eyes was based on him feeling the motion of the Earth. He feels the motion of the fan so he can find the gap.

[@jonsnor4313]

The Doctor closing eyes may be symbolic for the doctor having the hope via hope to go forward. And he trust that it will work and he has kuck after his whole terrible time war ptsd experience.

10:06 - Yes there is facial expression. It's called 'Blue Steel'.

[@cricketandkarma5129]

I think the spiders would have made more sense if it had been established that they were used for maintenance. That way, the woman in the tunnel wouldn’t have been alarmed by their presence, the Doctor wouldn’t have noticed them on the wall as anything other than typical, etc.

[@martinmaguire-music6692]

4:02 - Aimlessly? I always read it as looking around awkwardly, like, having no cultural frame of reference or even the illusion of one, being surrounded by aliens. I get that part of your deal is to be entertainingly critical though, so I can't really complain much lol.

[@toba_2029]

I can explain the part with the fans thanks to the official Doctor Who character encyclopedia book there's a section that talks about the 9th doctor that talks about his special abilities and it says "Incredible Timing- he once managed to step through the blades of a massive spinning fan" so to all the comments saying its him felling the universe no its just a special ability thx to the DW character encyclopedia.

[@arvarvanwar]

When the Doctor noclips through the fan he's just taking a chance and walking forwards since there's no way to time his step to walk through the fan; there's an equal chance of success at any moment, so he just takes a gamble.

[@-ice-125-3]

something you forgot rose provokes the doctor which he then decides to take her to watch her world burn in a way to make her relate to him which is quite a dark thing to do. Another reason could be to give her some appreciation of her world.

[@LucyGooseyLicious]

I'm in the process of building a theory about the time sense powers used at the fan... I believe that the doctor can sense the right time to do something coz he is a timelord. He has an innate timey wimey sense. This functions similarly to how Eccleston/Jesus in The Second Coming is told to do stuff by God... he only knows in the moment he has to do something. My current guess is that this power protects only the doctor's life - not his even his companions are protected by it. That would imply that all timelords have this spidey sense superpower... but i guess most timelords haven't had much cause to get used to it and be able to channel it in necessary situations. I think the companions are protected instead by the tardis... theories will develop in time. When I've fleshed out 10 theories i'll put them into a youtube video...

The doctor can go through the fans, because as it says in the character encyclopedia the 9th doctor' special ability is incredible timing, but for some wierd as all hell reason the doctor never shows any incredible timing ever again other than when he stops one of the adherence of the repeated meme's arm from striking him down.

hola chico - good to see your boredom hasn't stopped you helping with mine - have you seen my ufo video?? 😎 that aside, when the doctor's walking through the spinning fans he is "seeing time" and integrating with the moment (note - not THE moment) that he is in so he knows exactly when to move - a bit like dicky bow when he throws the Apple™ in Amys first episode to stop the accident, but a bit more intense. Also wouldn't they normally be evacuating from the other side therefore avoiding the fans under normal circumstances? In defence of Billiex Pip - she was being shagged at the time by a guy with Absenth for sperm so probably couldn't move never mind act half the time AND she stopped "singing". At the time the spider things were quite a draw to the episode for people as the CGI wasn't bad for its time either, especially when compared to it's contemporaries on TV here in the UK. So - you doing Rocky Horror or am I going to have to hunt you down - in drag? 🐩
