It was amazing seeing Calvin's reaction to Sutekh, knowing he's a big fan of Tom Baker's era! Russell knows how to set up a truly phenomenal cliffhanger! I was squealing in my seat upon Sutekh's name being revealed! The music alone was very haunting and I honestly love Sutekh's new design in the modern era. A more polished and animalistic version to display his dominion in the most atrocious way possible. It was so nice to hear Gabriel Woolf return for Sutekh's voice! *BRING ON EMPIRE OF DEATH!* 🤩💚

[@rachelschneider6751]

I heard the voice tease and I said that sounds like Sutekh. And felt more excited than I was on the original return of the Master because I was 99% sure about that. I did not expect Sutekh. It made me incredibly happy. In the Impossible Planet/Satan Pit I wanted the reference to Sutekh and was let down they didn’t. Also, there are extras on the DVD for Pyramids of Mars that were voiced by Gabriel Woolf and they are very amusing.

27:39 “The Trickster” is actually an already established character in the Whoniverse. He appeared in several episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures - even facing off with David Tennant’s 10th Doctor during a crossover - he is known to completely change time/make new timelines, he can “save” people from death by making bargains, and even swap a living person for a dead person to make so someone never died. He is known to be a apart of “The Pantheon of Discord” which includes The Toymaker, Maestro etc., but also has his own “Trickster’s Brigade” that follows him.

[@lukebridgwater6288]

[@anniesharp4871]

The trickster is terrifying. Hope he makes an appearance next week...

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

I was hoping it was The Trickster who was the big baddy, and that Ruby Sunday was this big ruse, a tool used by Sutekh to lure the doctor in, something which antagonists have done before, tricking the doctor by exploiting his emotional attachments.

[@IceMetalPunk]

I originally thought Sutekh attached to the TARDIS when the Doctor went back to save baby Ruby from the goblins. But people have pointed out that the TARDIS was making the weird noises all the way back in Wild Blue Yonder, which is also the first episode we saw Sue (talking to Isaac Newton)... so it's been longer than that. Gabriel Woolf is the original Sutekh, yes... but there's even more connections between Sutekh and the Beast from the Satan Pit. Not only is it the same actor, but the Beast said he had many names, including Satan... and in the Pyramids of Mars, they said Sutekh has many names, including Satan. So it's possible the Beast and Sutekh are somehow the same entity, the same being. Especially when you consider the way he puppeted Harriet was extremely similar to the way the Beast puppeted people in the Impossible Planet. I'm hoping Mrs. Flood is secretly Tefnut. She's not been in the Whoniverse yet, but the Osirans (the species Sutekh is) are the basis of the Egyptian pantheon in the Whoniverse. In the Egyptian myths, Tefnut is Sutekh's grandmother -- and the goddess of rain and humidity. Rain, flood? Connections? So she'd know when Sutekh was returning. Not to mention, that would also be a connection to Ruby, since a goddess of rain is the closest you get to a goddess of snow from a desert culture.

[@SpookyShimmer]

I remember the tardis groaning randomly in flux seemingly without reason and they said "it is sick" Is it possible that was this?

[@christianschoff2490]

@@ThatCzechGuy he has been waiting

[@alansmithee419]

I would assume he's been there since pyramids of mars, no? Though I haven't seen the story so no idea if that would work. "The one who waits." implies to me he's been waiting a very very long time, otherwise it's not exactly a good title for a character in a show where the main character is thousands of years old. "Yeah I hunkered down for a few years, lotta waiting that!" Maybe vicinity to one of the Susans just set off his return. Or his invoking superstition again.

[@lykan2]

Sidenote: The Tardis made these groaning sounds as early as Wild Blue Yonder, so it would seem Sutekh "hijacked the tardis back than, and remember what 14 said. With the salt and that he fears he "summoned" something and the end of the Universe.

[@julianalexander3268]

I'm starting to think it's the Tardis struggling to ring it's cloister bells.

[@gingerSnips]

Someone else said when they spilled the salt in Wild Blue Yonder snd triggered the superstition that released Sutehk. It's also I think that is when we first saw Susan Twist.

The doctor told Ruby that a Timelord can change their face to hide away. Mrs. Flood then says she is always hiding herself away. Her door is tardis blue and in this scene, they wash her face with a tardis blue filter. She’s a Timelord. Susan? Rivers daughter? The Rani.. we’ll find out soon. As for Ruby.. I think she is a child of the pantheon like Maestro. Human-esque like the H-Arbingers.

[@darklorddysart]

[@charlieb5358]

I wonder too if she’s River, and SHE dropped Ruby at the church, and was pointing at Sekh (spelling?) to tell the doctor Ruby is the key to defeating him somehow. Also, I feel like Carol of the Bells could be significant, the carol is based on ‘Shchedryk’, an old Ukrainian song about a swallow…the English translation mentions a Master, and A wife, probably just reaching with that one lol

[@MARStark97]

Here are my theories on Ruby and Mrs. Flood. I've thought from the Christmas episode that Mrs. Flood is Susan. And in this episode The Doctor says "We can change our face if we are dying. Or to hide away." Mrs. Flood says something like "It feels sometimes like I have been hiding away forever." =========================== I think maybe Ruby is the Eye of Horus made incarnate. Sutekh's prison on Mars was generated by the Eye of Horus. I think the others from Sutekh's world knew he was coming.

MVP of this reaction. Calvin. His reaction at the sutekh reveal was awesome!

[@Jamezevans123]

Loved this reaction, so glad Calvin remembered who Sutekh was. Davina McCall hosts a show called Long Lost Family, which traces members of families that were separated for various reasons like adoption or moving to other countries and have become lost to time, there's also spin offs of the programme, one of which is Born Without Trace, that traces the birth families of foundlings, so that was the kind of programme that Ruby was on in The Church on Ruby Road with Davina McCall. Born Without Trace was the inspiration behind Russell T Davies making Ruby a foundling adoptee, on top of the fact that the Doctor is a foundling adoptee too. I was great that in the Time Window Ruby had someone by her side who completely understood her, and could feel her pain and desperation. As an adoptee myself, it made me really happy when Carla showed compassion and understanding to Ruby's birth mother, if that's who it is.

[@Marvelousgamer7697]

THAT EPISODE WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! This is a master class in how to build suspense perfectly! The music was amazing, the performance from everyone were amazing, the pacing was spot on, the mystery of Ruby Sunday and Susan Twist meshing together was spectacular, the Practical sets and makeup were top-notch, the CGI and VFX are the best Doctor Who has ever had, Ncuti keeps being a top tier doctor, and to be blunt this is the most fun I've had with a season of Doctor Who in a long time! 1000/10 episode!

You should react to the Tales of the Tardis special of Pyramids of Mars

[@Ontir]

My theory: Sutekh attacked the TARDIS when it landed on the ship with the Not Things (Wild Blue Yonder), which is the 1st time the TARDIS moans & the last time the cloister bell tolls. I think the TARDIS ran away, trying to shake Sutekh, like it did Captain Jack. The Doctor says his children haven't been born, yet. Ruby's mother is "the Kind Woman" in next week's episode. She's River. Mrs. Flood is Susan. I void be wrong but Davies seems to be building the Doctor an extended family.

[@cairothetiefling_]

I really like how the fact the tardis is part of Sutekh’s plan now means they have no ‘safe place.’ Anymore. They can’t run and hide through time or space, at least, not very far, and the very thing the doctor spends a long time assuring the companion and the audience throughout the show is unbreakable and completely safe *becomes* part of the horror, it just cements the fact that they are not safe

[@bcfcfantv5339]

The trickster appears multiple times in the Sarah Jane adventures

[@TheMoonRover]

Various references in the episode: Kate addresses one UNIT character as Sullivan, a reference to Harry Sullivan, a 4th Doctor companion. Another UNIT character is Colonel Ibrahim, a reference to Sutekh's servant Ibrahim in _Pyramids of Mars_ (1975). Mel was of course a 6th/7th Doctor companion from 1986-87. The Toymaker appeared in _The Celestial Toymaker_ (1966) and _The Giggle_ (2023). The Trickster appeared in The Sarah-Jane Adventures three times from 2007-09, once with the 10th Doctor. The Mara appeared in _Kinda_ (1982) and _Snakedance_ (1983). The Doctor's granddaughter Susan was a 1st Doctor companion even before he left Gallifrey, before the show began, and left in _The Dalek Invasion of Earth_ (1964). And of course Sutekh himself. "I bring Sutekh's gift of death" is a direct quote from _Pyramids of Mars._

Sutekh is another villain from classic who, he first appeared in 4th doctor’s episode Pyramids of Mars, which was one of my early doctor who stories i remember as a kid borrowing at my local library during the wilderness years of Who. (Btw i was really looking forward to Calvin’s reaction because i might of guess he’d recognised Sutekh) But when he’s name dropped I went absolutely Ballistic with hype.

Sutekh definitely began seducing the TARDIS before Ruby's birthday. The first time the TARDIS groaned the way it did in this episode (as it has happened a few times over the season) is actually in Wild Blue Yonder shortly before it leaves Fourteen and Donna. Also may be worthy to note that there was a character played by Susan Twist in that episode interacting with Isaac Newton. Perhaps the change to "mavity" has some kind of role, but I think that has less of a chance of happening.

Seriously guys go watch Classic Doctor Who (1963-1989) starting from William Hartnell to Sylvester McCoy it's been so long overdue you can't just start a fraction of the show and not watch the old series and it gives Calvin an opportunity to meet the rest of the other Classic Doctors if you want to see more Mel, Classic Who is the way to go.

As someone who grew up on Classic Who and with whom Tom Baker was my favorite incarnation of The Doctor till Matt Smith came along, I was floored. Pyraminds of Mars is by far one of the best of the Tom Baker era if not Who in general.

[@Manx36]

They never explained where Susan came from, she was just there and they never discussed her parentage except companions who told people she was adopted but clearly she wasn’t. The Doctor has had a daughter before but she was a genetic clone and she was supposed to have died (David Tennant) during a war on the planet. The Doctor said to wait, that she was a time lord and would regenerate but she didn’t while he was there, he ended up leaving the planet but what if she did regenerate and she is Susan’s mom and he doesn’t know it? The Doctor has been married twice, Riversong and an English woman in the past when his memory of who he was, was locked away, either of those two people could have had kids that he doesn’t know but I’d think that’s a spoiler River wouldn’t keep from him unless she thought being around the Doctor was too dangerous and didn’t tell for that reason. We don’t know the Doctor’s lineage because they don’t know it themselves, we have a Doctor who we never knew existed before the last Doctor met her, we have a human version of the Doctor in another universe with Rose, we have a Doctor from scream of the shalka which has now been made canon (Richard E Grant) by the Rogue episode which is weird but okay. We have the bi-regen Doctors, so any or all of them could be out there making kids. The Tennant Doctor could decide to start a family and the other Doctor doesn’t know. I do feel like the new direction of Who is, let’s answer some questions, let’s create some new ones and enjoy the ride.

from i what i got was from the gods names are the Toy maker god of Games, Trickster the god of Traps, Maestro god of Music, Reprobate god of Spite, The Mara god of Beasts, The Trinity of Malice, Mischief and Misery , Incensor god of Disaster and her children, who Doubt and Dread. and then she says "And standing on high is the mother and father and other to them all for the god of all gods has returned and his names are many his name has been Set and Seth and Sithifer and his one true name forever more is Sutekh. hope this help in anyway😆

[@ethanmanson3129]

Gabriel Wolf voiced Sutekh in Pyramids if Mars 1975 with 4th Doctor Tom Baker and Sarah Jane first appearance now 50 years later ay 91 back doing his voice, fun fact there's been many theories over the years that because Wolf voiced both The Beast and Sutekh the Beast is a manifestation of Sutekh. The three gods that were mentioned were the gods of ragnarok who faced Sylvester Mcoys 7th doctor The Mara is a giant snake who preys on a phsycolgical way, she faced 5th Doctor Peter Davsion twice

Wait, how would UNIT not know about Susan? Don't they have a pic of her in the Black Archive?

7:51 Time Windows are what connected the S.S. Madame de Pompadour to 18th century France.

The TARDIS has been groaning all season, and the TARDIS also groaned during The Beast story arc…

[@fleason771]

Trust me "Mrs Flood" is not going to be revealed this season. RTD has sad mysteries will be revealed on Fri but I would bet money it's not "Mrs Flood"

[@ojwh1933]

Calvin being suspicious of the word "pet" 😆 That's just a Britishism.

[@BigCMiner]

if you've watched the Sarah jane adventures, which f you haven't i heavily recommend. the Trickster is one of the main Villains in that, hes also the one responsible for the alternate timeline in turn left.

[@Brendangatenby-mg2ix]

as an whovian, i should be exicted they brought a classic villian back like suetkh, rani, axlos or morbius but honestly i dont really feel anything because i know current days rtd will screw up this character

[@Stuffthatsfunny1]

Please watch Line of Duty. You guys would all love it and for some reason, no one on youtube has reacted to it on youtube. Had the whole UK gripped a couple of years ago

[@Corlwow]

Yess I was waiting for Calvin’s reaction!

[@samwell54]

The doctor does have a daughter, Jenny from season 4 but he thinks she died. She’s still out there and could be Susan’s mom technically

[@Lenny-ue8hk]

I'm pretty sure the Tenth Doctor talked about having kids so there might be a bit of a retcon with the granddaughter thing. Or the Doctor was just making a point that it's not necessarily the case that he has kids

[@joepverweij4012]

23:23 Wait…. Wasn’t there an episode with Capaldi where in the opening a suggestion was made that there might be another entity inside the Tardis? I remember people theorising that it was the Silence…. It might have been Sutekh then…. 😳

[@EloImFizzy]

It would be so cool if they went and reacted to The Pyramids of Mars. Not only would they get to see Sutekh, but they would also get to see one of the best stories in Classic Who. In my opinion, at least.

[@colinb5504]

I like how calvin recognises and smiles when he knows who sutekh is, while rest of the crew are like who?

[@Redarkai]

wait a sec didnt the Doctor kinda have a daughter and her name was Jenny from the 10th Doctor, she died in the episode but came back at the end and went off in space. maybe there trying to bring that up not sure if they want to go back far.

[@filthycasual8187]

You guys need to react to Pyramids of Mars before the next episode. That'll explain who Sutekh is!

[@rebeccalewin547]

Something I see with a lot of Americans watching doctor who, there are a lot, like a lot of passing remarks that are very British centric, and without the context it can feel like a mystery or something to think about. Like, Davina McCall, she’s a uk celebrity, voice of the big brother announcer and host of a show aiming to reunite adopted orphans with their biological parents, but lacking this cultural context, to some she may seem like a mystery character, or similar.

[@sofajockeyUK]

New viewers kind of need to accept that there are 40 previous seasons and they will be drawn from, from time to time.

[@scotthewitt258]

I think no one has ever been madder at The Doctor than Kate was. That silent glare said more than a chewing out ever could.....

[@hello3motos1]

The tales of the tardis that just came out will give so much context. You should check it out, only 1hour ish, which for classic who is an ease.

[@keenansudworth9969]

Sutekh return, toy maker and maestro mentioned and the trickster being mentioned again for the first time since miracle day ohhhhh I love that weird Doctor Who Gods shit gimme more of it. I hope with the trickster being mentioned again that means he could come back and make his debut in the main show he was so creepy and the best villain in Sarah Jane. You should pick Sarah Jane back up just for the Trickster his episodes were some of the best of all Doctor who lore.

[@dupersuper1938]

The Mara also got a mention.

[@layniebear1237]

my theory is that Flood is a pantheon for destruction or something similar. Ms Flood is a interesting name choice
