Capaldi's breaks me. His final conversation with The Testimony is pure *Who* "Can't I ever have peace... Can't I rest." That breaks me every time because it feels like a complete arc from the start of Nu Who; instead of trying to beat the villain even if people die, he's weary, tired and the last man standing out of all of his friends. He just wants it to be over with. But of course he chooses not to, and that's the purity of the Doctor wrapped into one twenty minute segment. God I fucking miss Peter.

I think Martha and Mickey getting together is supposed to represent the two rejected lovers finding solace in each other. Mickey was rejected by Rose in favour of the Doctor. Martha had a crush on the Doctor but was always overshadowed by Rose. Although it still does feel kind of random, especially as Martha was already married.

[@stevedavidson5038]

@Warriorette12 Why do people feel the need to make it about race? That scene was filmed before Torchwood series 3 was, which Martha and Mickey were supposed to be apart of but it never happened because of the actors' filming commitments. So had the original plan gone ahead, we would have had a whole series of them interacting in Torchwood, presumably in a romantic sense, leading into them being married by The End of Time pt 2. So it was really due to filming scenes out of chronology as opposed to bad writing.

I would've actually preferred that much more ( also setting a darker and more inhumane tone for the 5th season), as that one was already the age of a great-grandfather and would've died soon either way... David's Doctor could've done so much more on Doctor Who, but I guess following the announcement of his departure (I still don't get why he gave up the dream role he always wanted his whole life, even Moffat tried to convince him to stay) they used the sacrifice for a random old man as a plot device to kill off the tenth doctor...

[@blazon.studio]

Sorry, don't know why I noticed this but why were there so many actors spitting, did they not put the spit filter on the camera or something, Rasalon did it at the end of Part 1, Tennant did it when he broke down in front of wilf and then smith did it when he was in the TARDIS, idk why I noticed this but I can't unsee it now

Daaaaamn I've never thought of it like that. I knew it took place "after" Children of Earth but I never considered the proximity. Now that forlorn look on Jack's face at the beginning of the scene makes so much more sense! It's easy to dismiss that scene as a cheeky sexual set up when compared to the previous two scenes where the Doctor literally saves people's lives. But I suppose he's doing the same thing here, saving Jack from his misery by finding him a companion (or at least a temporary distraction).

[@dublinjake]

Possibly, but I think they did enough interesting stuff with the Doctor's loneliness after all his companions departing and his subsequent tragic fall in Waters of Mars that it made stretching it out worthwhile. Besides, it would have distracted from Donna's departure and the integration of all the spin-off and returning characters would have probably distracted from the story of the regeneration. Would have required fairly substantive changes to the story, with the loss of the main cliffhanger from Part 1 to avoid making the actual regeneration look cheap.

And then when the Master reveal the White Point Star, that the Time Lords are returning, without a moment of hesitation, the Doctor grabs the gun from Wilf's hands.

The End of Time in my opinion is without a doubt the greatest regeneration story of all time. It is so grand and epic in its scale (The Master! The Time Lords!

[@justsomerandomguyonline1144]

EvilMan • 50 years ago it was bad. First of all it made The entire RTD era and the arc of The 9th and 10th Doctor pointless by bringing back Gallifrey and It was The 8th Anniversary of Modern Who not The 50th Anniversary of The Entire show.

[@luxage595]

@@justsomerandomguyonline1144 yeah you're right, but I still enjoyed the episode because it was fun and still better than what Chibnall did in the finale of 12th season

[@ALMSIVIJack]

My biggest problem with this episode is that its strongest moments (Because lets be honest, the plot and resolution has a great deal of that RTD 'I spent the entire episode building up this resolution and now have about a minute to fit in a Deus Ex Machina ending whilst the Villains sit around twiddling their thumbs and let the Doctor do what the Doctor needs to do) are the build up to and the actual regeneration... Which I have become less fond of with time. Not because its bad, like I said, by far the strongest moments, but because I think it makes the one big mistake a regeneration episode should never do. It seems to go out of its way to make you almost bitter towards the new incarnation for replacing the old one. Sure, a regeneration episode should be melancholy. Its a sad occasion... But its also a new beginning. The whole 'It feels like dying, I die, and a new man goes walking off' and 'I don't want to go' (Along with all the rest of Tenths angst) may perfectly suit the Tenth Incarnation (As Eleven put it, 'I had vanity issues at the time'), but its just too much negativity towards the idea of a new Doctor coming along, and is my opinion one of the big reasons so many people say they left the show at Ten (Despite the impressive fact that viewing figures held up throughout a good chunk of Moffat's run). Tenths regeneration simply left people bitter towards the idea of a new Doctor. Elevenths does this the best, because it fully embraces the sadness of the regeneration, the end of an era, but the writing doesn't become bitter about it: 'We all change, when you think about it, we are all different people, all throughout our lives. And thats ok, thats good. You got to keep moving, so long as you remember all the people who you used to be. I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I swear. I will always remember, when the Doctor Was Me' Now sure, that more suits Elevens personality, his incarnation was around for over a thousand years after all, we know he spent three centuries on and off with the Ponds, and spends around 900 years expecting and coming to terms with his death on Trenzalore. Its understandable why he would be more ready to regenerate from a character perspective... But in my opinion its just a healthier approach for the show overall. Regeneration episodes should embrace the sadness, but still make people excited for a new era, instead of leaving a bitter taste in the mouth towards the new Doctor who could all to easily be seen as the 'Killer' of the current incarnation.

[@benkeenan8101]

Not quite sure what's difficult to understand about the 'End of time' title. It's explained several times by Rassilon and others that the Timelords plan to destroy/end all time/creation. Just so happens that it's the end of 10's time too. Also I can't believe that you just basically skipped over the cafe scene with Wilf and the doctor. One of the best scenes in all of doctor who and a great pay off for wilf and their relationship

[@Notanothercrayon]

*With one particular exception* Welp, now two.But sad that we'll never see the second one again after this time. RIP Bernard Cribbns.

[@ishaandw]

I like it especially Part 2 but I don't think it's the end of the golden era of Doctor Who.

[@FelixJonesReviews]

Aw, man, that coffee shop scene is one of the highlights of the first episode. Like a master-class on acting a bitter-sweet tone. Makes anything else in that part worth it. Just as the latter half of part 2 and Wilf and the Doctor on the ship is enough to overlook the vinvocci, insufferable as they are on re-watch

[@jvblhc]

I found both parts rather tedious though the second part had some excellent moments. But it felt like either Davies thought he has making the most amazing episode ever or he was just in a rush to get it all over with. As for Martha and Mickey looking sad when they see The Doctor: they know this man, they know the look on his face, they know instinctively that they will never see him again. They may not know why, but they know. Some people hate it, but I always loved The Doctor going around to see his friends and companions one more time (and in a Sarah Jane Adventure, it is revealed that he did the same goodbye trip with all the companions he had ever had). Knowing that I would (probably) never see Martha, Mickey, Rose, Wilf, and other ever again, I sit through those last moments with a sad smile on my face. In conclusion, The End of Time was not every good, but, as you say, there are some amazing scenes. P.S. Timothy Dalton would have been a superb Rassilon.

[@charlie-loujames7027]

just a random thought but the Doctor was not planning on speaking to Rose and she only noticed him because of his wince in pain like when she meets him originally (9) he is in complete mental and physical anguish after the time war it's like Rose is always there to alleviate his pain when he needs her most.

Congrats on 100k I’ve been here since you started the doctor who reviews and I’m sure I’ll be here for much longer keep it up and keep making incredible content ❤️

[@michaelharatzis8015]

I swear even seeing the stills and knowing those final 2 minutes were comming brought me to tears, damn it Harry I already had 1 emotional breakdown today

[@Manraj-xw1cg]

I personally agree with most of your points although about the gun part the doctor has killed people via shooting them to death before (see day of the Daleks or Colin baker killing the cyber controller in his era). Also another thing I had a problem with was with how he complained about dying and going on a fairly long fare well tour (which big finish did an excellent job with in an adventure crossover between 10 and 4 where 4 tells ten that the mere fact that tens there shows he’s long dead and he just continues on showing how the classic doctors were always at peace when they died, see caves of androzani for a truly excellent regen story).

[@bobmalone3726]

The song played during the doctor’s regeneration means goodbye 10.

[@gamewithadam7235]

"Ball tickling at best." That's like the most pompous thing you can say lol. Gonna use it in all my negative reviews from now on.

[@safebox36]

That beginning part, the Doctor just came back from his honeymoon with Queen Liz. It's implied in the 50th anniversary episode that's what happened

[@KevKedro]

It was all worth it to hear Wilfred say "She's a cactus!".

[@Crabcityrocker92]

I think you skipped over a moment when Joshua Naismith sits down with the Master, he briefly explains how he got rich was when Torchwood had split and had "acquired it", indicating that perhaps he sold some of their weapons. To UNIT maybe, who knows? It's up to the viewer to decide.

[@class87fan54]

Apparently, Naismith owned a mobile phone company called Neon. Adverts for it were on the bus in "Planet of the Dead." So there was another bit of foreshadowing in that episode, in addition to Carmen's warning.

[@ishaandw]

The 20 minutes reward scenes don't do it for some people. I like it but in context it helps a lot. The doctor visits every single past companion going back through all the classic companions right before he regenerates one final time.

[@shaneh1872]

This is the 2 parter next to the torchwood episodes of season 2 made me bawl my eyes out. It really hurt me seeing these characters leave after a whole 5 years with such great characters.

[@BritishTeaFGC]

Wilf has been and always will be one of the best characters in Doctor Who. I've always wished that we could have a season with him as a companion that doesn't focus on the Doctor fighitng enemies like the Dalek but just have him see the universe that he's always been starting at.

[@nanomachinesson5951]

3:40 you said the end of time didnt actually mean the end of time..but rassilon says multiple times that his plan was to end time and reality itself so that they could become transcendent beings

I always felt when 10 arrives at the ood planet that was right after day of the doctor.. He got back into the tardis, lost his memories about the event and headed of on a few last adventures before landing back on the ood planet setting up his end

[@AnthonyDuran]

Im pretty sure it takes place after the 50th anniversary. In that episode we see the doctor get married to queen Elizabeth. When the doctor shows up to the ood planet, he says he got married to queen Elizabeth

10 will always be the best doctor for me, this final episodes ruined me and still do to this day. The simple "i don't want to go" will always stay in my mind and every time it makes me cry like a baby I don't think anything will ever hit that same emotion that the ending of this did, such a bitter sweet reward for the doctor and the fans.

[@Boom4BlastRuin]

I don't know about anyone else, but I always assumed that the hand gestures of the unknown woman were the origins of the weeping angles, Rassilon refers to it as a punishment, and the origins of the weeping angles are never made clear, seems like something the timelords would come up with in the depths of their madness

[@tomanderson4953]

Rassilon mentions that they have to stand like the weeping angels, meaning that the angels probably came before this. I don’t know the quote but he specifically mentions them.

[@artyb27]

@@tomanderson4953 I believe the quote you're looking for is "they stand as monuments to their shame, like the Weeping Angels of old". In my humble opinion the "of old" part definitely gives away that the Weeping Angels are an even more ancient race than the Time Lords. Which, really, makes sense. I'm not a fan of this "The Weeping Angels were once Time Lords" theory. I don't understand why they need an origin story, they're just some other species.
