Doctor Who 2x12 Reaction

[@Tiuri7]

How sad we couldn't see your reactions to "the impossible planet" and "the satan pit", imho one of the best two-parters of Doctor Who.. :/

[@booradley8895]

Reactions are only good if the reactor likes the episodes

[@JustSoShayla]

They were good episodes! Sorry, I did not react to them, but time constraints and all that.

[@beesly01]

@@JustSoShayla We understand, only so many hours in the day.

[@medafan53]

In hindsight there is a very big piece of foreshadowing what's in the Sphere; it literally looks like a massive version of one of the orbs on a Dalek's skirt.

[@AubreySciFi]

The actress who played Queen Victoria in "Tooth and Claw" first appeared in Doctor Who in 1967 playing Samantha Briggs in "The Faceless Ones". And of course Liz Sladen "Sarah Jane Smith" who recently returned in "School Reunion" this season was a companion of the 3rd and 4th Doctors back in the 1970's. And Graeme Harper who directed this episode and the following one, "Doomsday" continues to be the only person to have directed episodes in both the original and the New Series of Doctor Who!

[@sallyatticum]

No, the showrunner, Russell T Davis, and exec producer, Julie Gardner, had worked with David Tennant on Casanova and when they found out that Eccleston was leaving, they offered the job to David. David met Billie later. (His 4th series companion is my favorite) I guarantee you will love future episodes more than anything you have seen yet. David had done some Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories and was a massive Doctor Who fan, since childhood. He was born to play this part.

[@john0constantine]

I agree. If you are enjoying this already so much ... it still get's so much better in my opinion.

[@JustSoShayla]

I love it so much already.

[@Alfwin]

I totally understand your worry about losing Rose (and thus losing that chemistry), but if there's one thing Doctor Who can do, it's replace the characters and change up the format without losing its core identity. The shot of the Cybermen ripping through the plastic sheets at 6:54 is a callback to the 60s episode _Tomb of the Cybermen._ One of the most frequently-referenced scenes, actually. After _Tomb,_ whenever Cybermen showed up there was like a 50/50 chance you'd see them rip through plastic sheets before the end of the episode. Also: 40 years after the first appearance of the Cybermen, 43 years after the first appearance of the Daleks, and this is the first time we've had both in one episode!

[@JustSoShayla]

Thanks for the fun facts!

[@Muckylittleme]

Season 3 suggestions. 3. Gridlock 8 human nature (1) 9. Family of blood(2) 10. Blink 11. Utopia (1) 12. Sound Of Drums (2) 13. Last of the time lords (3)

[@Gxbbzee]

uhhh. how about 3x1? kind of an important one, lol

[@Muckylittleme]

@@Gxbbzee Maybe in the context of the show but not for a reaction ahead of some of the others except maybe gridlock.

[@Gxbbzee]

@@Muckylittleme Fair enough! I, for one, am hoping we get those initial impressions on Martha. To me, the most important companion episodes are their first and last. (Plus, I really love the episode, lol).

[@Muckylittleme]

@@Gxbbzee ​ Gibbzee Yeah I get that, it is all subjective. I thought this was one of the lesser finales but put it in because I thought it important so can't say the 1st isn't can I? :D

[@adrianahumada5930]

You're one of my favourite reactors, love your enthusiasm for the show, it makes me happy seeing a new fan loving DW.

[@JustSoShayla]

Thank yo so much!

[@davidcave5426]

BTW, Torchwood is an anagram for Doctor Who.

[@mrandrews3616]

For the record I do remember being a kid watching this, jumping up and screaming my head off when the Daleks appeared at the end, and my dad was surprised as well, since he's been watching since the Hartnell era.

[@tinfoilfantheories8347]

I'd like to echo what everyone else is saying, definitely do Family of Blood, Blink and Utopia for season 3!!

[@LilSpookyyy]

The Cybermen and the daleks not only one of the most iconic doctor who creatures but even across pop culture

[@chronics23]

Lol oh man that beginning was hilarious!

[@jaydenyugi9034]

So glad you’re embracing Tennant as The Doctor. I also appreciate you highlighting the chemistry between the actors. Your reaction to Mickey and the Daleks returning were great too.

[@john0constantine]

The episode before the last in the season always makes you a bit crazy I guess :D Love your reaction.

[@JustSoShayla]

Haha yes it does.

[@pmcmahon97]

I love all your reactions! I also like how quickly you are going though these episodes. I know I had all those feelings you had about this episode and Rose. Just remember that you are at the very beginning of a long adventure.

[@JustSoShayla]

:,)

[@Jim_The_Fish]

Always weird seeing Martha just a few episodes too early

[@Wannabe_Baby]

I'm so happy that you're getting these out so quickly! Great reaction too. I can already see your eyes getting red at the end. :P By the way, do you have a list of episodes that you're planning to react to?

[@JustSoShayla]

Yes I do have a list, and oooohhh just you wait till you see 2x13.

[@docwho10th88]

Satan needs to be paid!

[@cesarsagaert]

I’m really surprised New Earth is your favorite episode, it’s usually considered quite bad... the episodes I liked best in this season was the Satan two-parter and the Girl in the Fireplace. And I enjoyed the two-parter finale too.

[@dupersuper1938]

I liked New Earth well enough, but agree it doesn't hold a candle to Girl in the Fireplace and the Satan 2 parter.

[@JustSoShayla]

For some reason I just really liked New Earth.

[@gabrielarredondo3825]

I can’t wait for your reaction to the next episode!!!

[@JustSoShayla]

;)

[@jacobchamberlain1076]

Really wanted to see your reaction to 2x8 and 2x9 :( Also for series 3 you’ve really got to do: Episodes 8,9,10,11,12 and 13. It’s a really strong run.

[@JustSoShayla]

Will be doing all of those!

[@robertmcghintheorca49]

8:29 You're the only reactor I've seen who pointed this out.

[@mrbrit1218]

I love your reaction and can't wait for the reaction to 2x13. These 2 episodes are probably my favourite and I did warn you on an earlier reaction you'd need a very large box of tissues. Episode 13 has reduced many a person to a blubbering wreck by the end so don't be too harsh on yourself. The chemistry continues all be it in a different form so I hope you continue watching the show. Seasons 3 and 4 is when Tennant really starts to make the Doctor his own.

[@jazoon7249]

I 2nd this.

[@JustSoShayla]

Get ready cause I CRIED SO HARD.

[@mrbrit1218]

@@JustSoShayla It still gets me to this day, no matter how many times I watch it and know what is about to happen. Billie Piper was fantastic. There are a few more hugely emotional endings in the coming series but not quite as bad as this season.

[@JustSoShayla]

Welp my reaction is uploading...it's well. Uh so sad lol.

[@francisbartoszewski2284]

No satan pit 2 parter reaction? Yes the cybermen are a more influential villain but those two episodes were infinitely better than the two we were given

[@JustSoShayla]

Sometimes I may skip some of the better ones :(

[@RenatoGPadilla]

I feel like I want some Psychic Paper too... No idea what I would do with it either... OH BOY THIS ONE!!! WOO!!! Gotta love the Cybermen! And the Daleks are the SASSYEST THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE, so that'll be fun! YOU. ARE. (WERE?) NOT. PREPARED! WOO!!! Can't wait for tomorrow! -"Ren". P.S: As someone who knows your thoughts post - "Doomsday" I just have to say. It gets better. Don't lose hope and DON'T STOP WATCHING! Please. You'd regret it eternally if you did...

Return of the Daleks

[@12chapin]

Hello Shayla. Cybermen are back, what are they up to? But wait, is going to get worst, bc next is the Finale. Have napkins ready.

[@JustSoShayla]

I didn't have tissues :(

[@john0constantine]

So can I talk about next season? I don't know the delay between watching and posting. And you might have already made up your mind. But I would like to recommend a few episodes in season 3 anyway. Because season 3 is full of some of the most amazing episodes and we dearly want to see your reaction to them. Maybe you can do a few more in season 3 than usual? I know you are spoiler sensitive, but it is allowed to say the episode titles, right? Plus what episodes are tied together? So please do 3x01 (Smith and Jones) because introducing new season and stuff. I would also love to see 3x03 (Gridlock) because I love that one so much and because cats. And there is a double ep 3x04 and 3x05 (Darleks in Manhatten and Evolution of the Darleks) which is such an amazing period piece. Please watch it. Then there is 3x08 and 3x09 (Human Nature/Family of Blood) which is one of the greatest of all time and cannot be missed. Also, 3x10 (Blink), but people have told you already to watch that I'm certain. And then there is 3x11, 3x12 and 3x13 that all go together and are an amazing finale.

[@john0constantine]

I only put the titles in because you have said you juggle two different numbering schemes.

[@JustSoShayla]

@@john0constantine I will be reacting to all of your suggestions except 3, 4, and 5.

[@leslieturner8276]

Since you are getting thru each series very quickly here are some suggestions for series 4, the following are the very minimum to react as I thought that standard of series 4 was very good indeed. I'm just posting the episode numbers to avoid any spoilers 04x01 04x08 04x09 04x11 04x12 04x13 Repeat this is very minimum as there are certainly others that it would be worthwhile reacting to. Now after series 4 there are a number of specials I would recommend to react to the 3rd, 4th and 5th (final) special

I'm delighted you skipped over most of S2, I thought you wouldn't be at S2E12 for another week or two. One of the poorest seasons ever, S3 is brilliant, a return to form. The second half of series 3 is phenomenal, I suggest reactions to S3E1, E3, E8,9,10,11 and 13

[@hilzabub]

In my opinion, series 2 is the weakest since the relaunch. No surprise you didn't get a lot of reaction recommendations. That shouldn't be a problem in the future

[@ajivins1]

"That one's black!" So racist... :)

[@KthulhuXxx]

You'll see the really pretty black girl (Adeola) from this episode again (but playing a different, much more expansive role). Doctor Who does recycle actors a bit, there's a episode in the 4th season that has a future Doctor one of the main characters, and a future companion as one of the minor characters. (And the one that was a future Doctor also played a major role in the 3rd season of Torchwood.)

[@JustSoShayla]

THAT'S WHY I KNOW MARTHA!
