They released a "children in need " special of Dr who called time crash... its a little 10 minute thing set between the end of this episode and the start of the titanic one.... its brilliant and poignant and recommended to watch (and react to!)

[@Stuart_Cox1969]

Thank you, I'm really enjoying your Dr Who journey.

Martha doesn't get enough credit, IMHO. Fer cryin' out loud, she walked the Earth for a year and saved humanity! Even if we never remembered it. 🥰 BTW, I'm really enjoy reliving these episodes through you! I haven't watched them in a while, and seeing your reaction is wonderful!

As you observed, the scene with the Master refusing to regenerate was superb. Both David Tennant and John Simm were wonderful in this episode. I join the chorus of people recommending you consider doing reaction videos to the original UK Life on Mars with John Simm (If you do, don't read any spoilers for it as the ending is a surprise.)

[@HuntingViolets]

[@Venemofthe888]

Lucy Saxon has a bit of a subtle black eye suggesting that she had been abused by the master behind closed doors so in a way that is a justified reason to why she shot him. She was broken by the master in the year that never was

[@fayesouthall6604]

Drugged too.

[@its-aydonus6842]

It's not that. It's as simple as the Doctor said with the TARDIS key, when the perception filter is broken, people will see him for who he really is. She was also under the influence of the Archangel network, and when the Doctor used it, it broke the Masters connection. Lucy was no longer hypnotised by the network, and got her revenge for 18 months of hell.

[@eleashaghot]

Chris, thank you for rolling these story arches back to back. I really appreciate that you give us two parters and three parters quickly as opposed to dragging them out over the weeks. You’re the best! A great reaction. Looking forward to you to get into the amazing season 4.

[@ghostsurfer23]

So fun fact, the Toclafane exist because of the movie Looney Tunes: Back in Action, if you can believe that. The movie had Daleks in it without securing permission from the proper rights holders, and the owners of the estate were prepared to not allow Daleks to be used in the then upcoming new series of Doctor Who unless they were compensated. Pretty big problem seeing as episode 6 was called 'Dalek' and all. The Toclafane were created as a placeholder in case the situation didn't get resolved.

[@dewey70]

You can see the daleks in the deleted scenes. It's unfortunate because the deleted stuff was hysterical.

[@knavehart]

If no one told you - there is another mini scene between this ending and the Christmas special

[@bunnyslippers5183]

It’s a pity you had the face of Boe twist revealed for you but it was still nice to see you smile afterwards. Martha is a companion I now realise I judged too harshly the first time around, for me I missed rose and I felt that Martha being so clearly in love with the doctor too was stepping on her toes- (I was a pre-teen/teenager when these episodes first aired) so I was too busy comparing her to Rose at first to see how brilliant she was in her own right, but by the end of the series I had warmed up to her and was genuinely sad to see her go. On rewatches though it’s so much easier to see how clever and brave she was right off the bat. So much for you to still enjoy coming up! I’m looking forward to it! Thank you for a great reaction.

[@Llanchlo]

You noticed Lucy seemed unhappy. Did you notice the bruises?

[@muppetsstoogesfan1]

Don't forget the minisode Time Crash that's set in between this episode and Voyage Of The Damned!

[@JAYWALKER1000]

He turned the Doctor into Dobby.

[@chrisfraser5088]

Ahhh, such a good episode! Season 3 and 4 are sooooo good! Tennant and Simm were fantastic together! That final scene between them is heartbreaking!

[@georgiaann4402]

Tom Ellis went on to play Lucifer in the TV series. He is a great actor as well. Now you need to look up David and John Barrow's reaction to reading the reveal of Face of Bo. They were shocked. :)

[@fayesouthall6604]

I bet

[@andrewroberts299]

Glad you enjoyed this final episode. You might want to check out the 8 minute BBC Children in Need Charity Doctor Who episode called “Time Crash.” Written by Steven Moffat, it is a call back to Classic Who and is a love letter to David Tennant for being a Doctor Who fan growing up watching the show in the late 70s and the 80s. Won’t say anymore, but you’ll understand what I mean when you watch it. The episode is set in the gap between the Doctor saying goodbye to Martha and the Titanic smashing into the TARDIS.

[@AudsVids]

This is why Martha is my favourite companion ever. She was way underrated and even hated by some in the fandom. Even though nine is my favourite doctor I didn't see many complaining when there was a change in doctor but the switch to not Rose brought out the worst in some people. I'm sure it wasn't everywhere but Freema did such a great job in this role and now Martha is like the doctor, she saved so many people who will never know about it. Also if deliciously evil is a thing, John Simm did that here. The over the top moments were so fun in a dark way. His death scene with the doctor was brilliant too. Even if you'd never do it as a reaction it's worth watching Life On Mars. He's also recently been in a series called Grace where he plays a detective. Episodes are long so there's only three per season (9 so far).

[@sp72929]

Both David Tennant and John Barrowman are huge fans of DW since they were kids so when they got the script with the reveal of the Face of Boe they both freaked out. Barrowman used to tell the story at conventions of how he stood by the open window when the episode was first aired waiting “…to hear the nations jaw to drop.”

[@fayesouthall6604]

They did.

[@SorchaSublime]

The Toclafane were originally concieved of as a replacement for the Daleks if the new series couldn't get the rights (which have been in a weird situation of technically belonging to the writer of the episode they first appeared in for the entire shows history) Doctor Who got to use the Daleks after all, and they got a chance to feature their concept alien here.

[@ericrinehart477]

Ya even the actor jack didn't know about the reveal of face of bo till the day of the finale when he read the script there's a interview in it might be in the special features on the dvd he absolutely loved it

[@kelly6491]

He’s brilliant as the master, those runs were always fun 🙃 and of course it’s always so great watching you fall in love with the show and the people and the world then fall in love all over again every time some new eruption of awesomeness occurs lol. Like the upcoming episodes. Because :everyone: falls for Donna. We adore Donna. And Wilf! 💙 so glad we finally reached it!

[@obiwankenobi687]

It would be interesting to watch the American version of this so you can see all the very important stuff they missed out. Even the very first ‘planet Earth is closed’ scene is gone. As a Brit I find it so mad that America will butcher a show just to cram in adverts. On the BBC in the UK we don’t have ads at all

[@kay-jay1581]

2 months ahead! To be honest season 4-6 are some of my favorite Doctor who eras ever. Season 8-10 where quite I got super obsessed after a second rewatch. Feel like they are not as beloved, but they have a big following. I really hope you’ll enjoy it in the future.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

I’m loving season 4! And let me tell you, I’m fairly glad to be moving further ahead because releasing “time crash” after I watched “the doctor’s daughter” was a very good thing.

[@michaelgonzalez6295]

1:14 The BBC official policy is "only the events in the TV show are canon." One notable exception is the novel "The Story of Martha" by Dan Abmett. It was written in conjuction and released along with the episodes. It describes the events during Martha's year of journey, including why Japan was destroyed. It was not just name dropping there. For Doctor Who, generally the novels and comic books rarely considered "canon". There is no central continuity team. Star Wars did have one before it was bought by Disney (The Star Wars Expanded Universe).

[@JebWCManning]

At some point, I highly recommend the Children In Need Special Time Crash. It's set between Last of the Time Lords and Voyage of the Damned. It's amazing, and I can't say anymore without spoiling it.

@@Kayjee17 Not sure what you are on about. "Lucifer" is an American TV show. So what is that to do with spoilers? With many American reactions to UK TV shows they recognise actors/actresses from somewhere else.

Right who spoiled you that Jack was the Face of Boe...I wanna have some serious words!!! I punched the air when you mentioned that earlier xDDD

[@KernowWarrior]

In 'Utopia' Martha said to The Dr, in front of Jack. About how The Face of Boe told him he wasn't alone. Why didn't Jack pick up on the name then. He was stood right there, part of the conversation, not a flicker of recognition. Annoys me every time I see it. lol

When The Doctor hugs Martha and he's looking down the barrel of the camera. That. That is the face of an ancient loneliness. A song that has played out many times for The Doctor.

Martha was such an underused Companion. Really wish we got more of her out of all the companions. She felt...incomplete...though the longing for uneequited love was a good touch, we just needed more.

[@The-Cosmic-Hobo]

My one major criticism of "NuWho" is the reliance on "the big red reset button". This was the first major use. For 26 years Doctor Who managed to do stories set on Earth, with major invasions and other things going on, without needing to go for a reset. You get to the point in these new stories where you just KNOW that there's going to be a reset, because the writers couldn't possibly leave things as they are, because the contemporary Earth in Doctor Who is basically meant to be OUR Earth.

[@PandezPanda]

hopefully you have but if not there's the mini episode Time Crash after this before the Titanic!!

[@edwardhilton4344]

Honestly, the next time for this episode at the end of The Sound of Drums is legitimately epic. If you get a chance to watch that please do.

[@ZondaFRoadster]

As sad as it is to see Martha leave the TARDIS, at least she was able to do it on her own terms, unlike Rose.

[@ghostsurfer23]

Martha Jones usually ranks pretty low on my favorite companions list. She's not a bad character, and Freema is great; her arc just doesn't do a lot for me personally, and she didn't get a lot of stand out moments this season. Except this. The woman who walked the worth. Absolutely brilliant. And as lackluster as I find her arc, this was the perfect way to cap it off.

[@aleczrike9647]

I completely forgot that Lucifer was in this 😂

[@jamesreynolds7528]

Well, in the spirit of spoilers, prepare yourself, as the next series is best of them all. 😊

[@tempusspiritus]

This multi parter was great, but the ending wasn’t my fave. The time lord messiah as I’ve heard some call it I can look past, but the levitating thing was a bit cringey. Martha’s speech about pining after the Doctor also never set well with me as it felt a bit like she was blaming him. I mean, I agree with her reasoning but it just didn’t feel like something she needed to tell the Doctor as it comes of as guilting him. If they wanted viewers to know that was part of her reasoning they could maybe have had shown a brief conversation between her & Jack where she mentions something about her pining after the Doctor being unhealthy.

Good parts and kinda off parts here. Dobby the house elf doctor 😕, floaty god doctor, lame. But man, just as I thought it was getting silly we have that master refusing to regenerate and it was awesome. Then that face of boe reveal…wow! I found this episode all over the place.

[@meredithgrace4337]

Is it wrong that even tho the master is crazy I have a big crush on the actor who plays him, John Simms and because I have a big crush on the actor I feel more sorry for the character rather than feel anger, yes the master does horrific and bad things which is awful and I understand all the fans who feel anger towards the character and understand that its a traditional plot of good vs evil with Martha being the good and the master being the evil, but the master kinda reminds me of loki, he has the same emotional energy, smartness and the actor is just so damm hot. I can't hate the character because I fan girl over the actor. also I think this is the first modern series were the final that doesn't centre around the doctor, the three part series final focus's more on one Martha and the bad repercussions of traveling with the doctor and two on the master as a character for modern watchers of new who with a back story a great plot-twist at the beginning of the episode and the layers of the masters characters as a hole, because of this the doctor's character gets for me pushed out of the way a bit and I think that even tho David Tennent is a great actor, an amazing human being and always will be one of the best doctors ever, I think John Simms (the master) having more screen time out shines David Tennent in acting ability on this one.

[@rtaylor7384]

3 shooting things in this final episode. It’s been 1 years since the master took control Jacks revealed he might be the face of boe The Titanic crashing into the Tardis. lol Try not to look at spoilers next time for the next series. Series 4 is the best series of this era and show.
