The 9th Doctor explains the Time Reapers as bacteria, which infects a wound in time, but normally not every wound would get infected.

[@archive9796]

You mean Vortisaurs

[@michaelklaus]

@@archive9796 No he means the creatures from Father's Day that were Grim Reapers in the Script and only became alien in the production process. They were never named reapers on screen in that episode. Only comic story Four Doctors and video game Legacy used their name. The Vortisaur is mainly from the 8th Doctor audio books IIRC. And they are something completely different. But I can totally see the confusion since the description of the creatures and the situation around the air ship in Storm Warning does make it sound like they reused the reapers and gave them the name Vortisaurs.

[@archive9796]

@@michaelklaus wow I was clearly making a joke that 3 years later didn’t matter and no one cared about

[@Amazing_Amy_W]

I'm sure no one is ever going to see this comment as it's years late, but the stuff they were talking about 'a lot of cowboys in here' is a phrase we have in the UK. Cowboy builders. Basically, when you get a handyman, plumber, builder, whatever, who pretends to be good at their job but leaves it in a bad state. They haven't done things right, left damages, or just caused more problems. So whe the Doctor says about cowboys being in her brain he's referring to the clockwork people scanning her brain but doing a shody job of it, and probably leaving some damage behind. It's definitely a UK phrase that will pass over most folks heads.

[@ms_scribbles]

Yes, Time Lords have used telepathy on the show prior to this. They're a telepathic race.

[@ms_scribbles]

And two trivia things: 1. David and Sophia Myles, the actress who played Reinette, started dating for a couple years after this, and split up when Sophia moved to the US to get work in Hollywood. 2. David is super allergic to horses, so those scenes with Arthur the horse wandering around with him were miserable for him in a nose-and-eyes-itching sort of way.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

@@ms_scribblesDay of the Doctor must have also kinda sucked for David in that respect, as he had to ride a horse there too.

[@georgina01melia]

Cut out my favourite bit where the horse is still walking behind him and he goes 'would you stop following me, i'm not your mother!'

[@SuperFacePlace]

God this was such a good episode. Shows you the sadder lonely side of the doctor and David Tennant was such a good choice to show these sides. I can't wait for you guys to continue this show because it only gets better.

[@ryokiuzumasa8068]

Don't know what it is about this episode, but I loved so much as a child. Very nice to watch this again.

[@TheGotenza]

Ryoki Uzumasa it's so weird that it's so old now that you think of this as when I Was a child.

[@ryokiuzumasa8068]

SuperNerdGavin Ikr, I used to be scared of most of the monsters on this show, now I'm just "meh, I've seen worse"

[@TheGotenza]

Ryoki Uzumasa I binged the show about 3ish years ago. I was like 13 or so and so I was old enough to where none of the monsters really scared me I just enjoyed the stories. Though the weeping angels are kinda creepy

[@ryokiuzumasa8068]

SuperNerdGavin Yeah, the weeping angels were scary, but I think they were ruined at the end of Matt Smith's run.

[@TheGotenza]

Ryoki Uzumasa In my opinion a lot was ruined during Matt Smith's run.

[@slayguy86]

"You've had some cowboys in here" is a phrase in the UK, it's about describing the shoddy workmanship of builders, plumbers etc. When they have done a terrible or messy job.

[@MrLeebo666]

The "Cowboys in here" is an English reference to cowboy builders who are non professional builders that work cheap and generally fuck shit up

[@emaloney2211]

This episode was described as the first time that the Doctor has 'discovered girls'. It was also another reminder for him that whoever he grows an attachment for, that they will always leave him in the end. This follows on from the last episode when he tells Rose he can't spend the rest of his life with her because she will die in a time that is nothing compared to a Time Lord. Also I love your reaction to the Doctor's ability to get all the ladies but just to let you know if you expect a bit of nookie going on in the TARDIS you'll be quite disappointed (well not from the Doctor in any case!!)

[@scottjenkins16]

Cowboy builders is a term in the UK for builders that do a bad job so basically it's someone who has done a poor job.

[@MyAbridged]

Ok, this isn't a big spoiler. Forget about the Time Reapers. You will literally never see them again, and the 'rules' of their appearance don't really make any sense, since even when very fixed points in time are changed, they don't show up. They're literally a one off enemy, made in the first season when they didn't have a solid grip on canon, and that really make something of a plothole of themselves

[@KoffingOnion]

I know, its funny how the crew are still talking about them.

[@BinghamBen]

What if they became extinct!

[@thewerewolff7248]

Nivada Stars I can’t find anything about that in the wiki. Also since time isn’t linear to them that wouldn’t stop them as a repear from before they were hunted could show up. According to the wiki they have shown up in the comics again so i think the theory of them only possibly appearing rather than definitely appear makes more sense

[@SorchaSublime]

the way I think of them working is like bacteria. They show up when time breaks only if they are in the vicinity.

[@theotianyarttar9230]

*videospoilers* maaaaaan, i forgot how sad that ending was.

[@Tulkas219]

Re the "cowboys" reference. In the UK cowboys is used as a slang term implying incompetence or shoddy work. E.g. "this place was obviously built by cowboy builders". Or "a bunch of cowboys did this work". Ties in with the fact that when he used the term he was rummaging through equipment that looked like it had been cobbled together from scrap parts.

In the UK a common expression is to talk about a "cowboy builder" which is someone that takes short cuts and leaves things all messed up.

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

i always found this episode, while amusing, to rub me the wrong way sometimes. after finding out moffat's views on rose, i understood that the almost scorning of her throughout this episode was very deliberate. so while i love arthur the horse, and the clockwork monsters, and madame de pompadour, i have a hard time seeing past moffat's shitty attitude in this one now

[@Charizarzar]

Questionable Life Choices Yeah it's very noticeable. I feel like he should've just left Rose and Mickey out of this episode.

[@MilkmanConspiracy]

That's rich coming from Moffat. Rose was flawed but I loved that about her. She was a full fledged and developed PERSON, unlike Amy and 11's Clara. And it's actually rather gross if you look at this episode knowing that about him. Rose was a girl that, whatever else you can say about her, was not afraid to call the Doctor out for his fuck ups. Madame de Pompadour on the other hand saw him as some sort of angel or god. (Sounds familiar, actually....River Song, can you come to the courtesy phone? River Song?) Is that the kind of companion for the Doctor Moffat prefers? If so, ew. Plus it makes the Doctor seem like more of a dick than usual.

[@deonnelson9780]

@@MilkmanConspiracy I actually think Clara has more characters development than Rose. Clara became brace and smarter the more time she spent with the Doctor. Rose just had a crush on the Doctor while while dragging Mickey along for 2 series.

Two episodes in a row with rivals for Rose. She and Mickey get treated badly in this episode, with the Doctor basically abandoning them. And if he couldn't get back to them, what would they be able to do?

[@LittleRedWhine]

Moffat is obsessed with the idea of a hot woman growing up obsessed with the same ageless man on their mind.

[@HuntingViolets]

And she idolizes him from childhood. Sophia Myles plays this trope again on _Moonlight._

It's a really good episode but coming as it did right after School Reunion and the emotion between the Doctor and Rose in that one, it seemed weird to me that the very next episode he appears to completely forget her.

[@HuntingViolets]

Yes, he treats her badly in this episode; it makes him seem fickle and hypocritical

Such a good episode and one of my favorites! I tear up everytime I watch this episode.

[@eitanmarks02]

Steven Moffat, the guy who wrote this episode, replaced Russell T Davies (2005-2010) as show-runner for Series 5-10 (2010-2017). Moffat is being replaced by Chris Chibnall for Series 11 and onward in 2018.

[@LordHoth_90]

Chibnall..... *Shudders*

[@terris5988]

Just an fyi in the new re-written version of "The Day of the Doctor" by Moffat it DOES mention his low level telepathy ability.

[@stevewelland6728]

You guys should also watch Broadchurch, it's a brilliant British thriller series that Stars David Tennant - it's interesting watching his charismatic performance in this show, whilst also watching his some what depressing (but fantastic) performance in Broadchurch.

[@HuntingViolets]

And he gets to use his Scottish accent. And a future Doctor (and future past Doctor), companion, companion's mother, etc., are in the show at various points too.

[@MrBroncolife]

awww memories. The first episode I watched which led me to being hooked on Dr Who.

[@DJSkywalker716]

I know that this is something that doesn't happen for a long while, but you guys should know that time lords are NOT immortal. They are just long-lived as we see with a later incarnation of the Doctor. They can still die of old age, they'll just regenerate once they pass on.

[@austingonzales1405]

Someone else has probably posted this already but in British parlance, "cowboys" means incompetent repairmen.

[@stevebton]

Re 'there's been a lot of cowboys in here'. It's a British idiom where unskilled people performing poor quality work are referred to as 'Cowboys'. So the Doctor coming on board and seeing everything in pieces and badly put back together he's basically saying 'whoever repaired this, did a really bad job of it'.

[@islaythejabberwokky]

Welcome to the most wildly out of character episode of the entire second season! Hooray! At first watch it's a decent episode and has lots of good moments, but wow the Doctor would never just abandon his companions and the TARDIS on a spaceship in the middle of nowhere without thinking of a way back first. He's a spontaneous man for sure, but he always has a reason for doing those spontaneous things. Throwing all caution to the wind to chase after one pretty French lady just isn't something he would do. He would do his best to save her, yes, of course he would! Because every individual person matters to him! And he admires her intellect and capacity to understand things that are way beyond her time, too. But this is the man who hesitated to nuke the Slitheen because "I could save the world but lose you." It just doesn't quite make sense to me that he would just go shattering a space-time window that cuts off his way back to the TARDIS, especially if he'd be abandoning Rose and Mickey without a single word. Especially not Tennant's Doctor, and especially if it's Rose he's leaving behind. And certainly not right after the conversation he had with Rose about his companions just one episode ago. When looking at the season as a whole, there are a lot of things that go on in this episode that are really out of place and never happen again. (Until, of course, season 5 when Steven Moffat rewrites literally the exact same storyline with Amy...) I want to like this episode, but for me it doesn't fit right in 9/10-era Doctor Who. I think the fandom is pretty split down the middle with this one: either you love it or you hate it.

[@Kuralai95]

stardust-moth you've wrote it down perfectly. The concept is really interesting but the attitude of the Doctor sees so off the character that it wasn't enjoyable to watch.

[@HuntingViolets]

Agree with all of this. The integrity of the character is lost to the aesthetics. Style above substance.

[@HuntingViolets]

It's funny how often they mention _The Time Traveler's Wife,_ considering Moffat went on to make a series from it.

Very late comment 😂 but in the UK saying “you’ve had cowboys in” means like having poor trades people. So like if you had a new bathroom fitted but the fitters took advantage and the work was messy and things leaked etc. you’d say you’d had cowboys in.
