Dating site: So, what are you looking for in a partner? Jack: Yes.

[@FANTHEORYTV]

🤣

[@timloomis2671]

Paula....yes

[@bgphantom3]

For him, “hello” is flirting.

[@kivimik]

I recall on the DVD commentary, the producers regretted missing the opportunity to show Jack hanging onto the TARDIS during the opening credits.

[@Scroteydada]

Well it could have been the best intro in the show's history

[@franl155]

Yeah, they said they'd do it for a future special anniversary. Someone's already done that: no idea who, but the amended credits with Jack are on YT somewhere

[@Longshanks1690]

"I am...the Master." Even for people who have no idea who the Master is, this introduction is so wonderfully sinister you understand precisely what a threat he is immediately and recognise his significance in spite of the fact they won't have seen him before this. It showcases everything we need to know about him while simultaneously revealing nothing of import about him.

[@tbirdguy1]

It's one of the best re-introductions of a villain ever. They laid all the clues through the season, with various scenes, and it was hinted a whole series before. This is why Davies' is still fondly remembered, his writing was extremely tight and everything fits together eventually. The drums... can you hear them!?

[@ciarantc7881]

When this episode first aired I was 7 or 8 and it got me so unbelievably excited and I've basically never lost that feeling when I watched this episode

[@lbd-po7cl]

The Professor's transition from congenial old man to menancing Master demonstrates the brilliance of Sir Derek Jacobi. You feel the dread at the evil he has become all from the change of expression in his eyes. I get a chill every time I see that! I so wish he could have stayed on a bit as the Master, he would have been outstanding - such a great actor.

[@marksaunders7920]

Interesting you should say that. Derek Jacobi has been doing audio dramas for Big Finish playing the War Master. Basically, his incarnation is the one that fought in the Time War. His incarnation can only be described as the Hannibal Lecter Master.

[@lbd-po7cl]

Mark Saunders Yes, I had known he’d done some Big Finish, but I haven’t heard any of those stories yet. Also, even though Big Finish is separate from the main series, the recent ones overlap with current storylines. I certainly wouldn’t want to spoil anything inadvertently for our Gallifrey Gals!😀

[@shadaxe]

I loved the John Mann incarnation of the Master, but like you, there was this awful regret, that I may have just the greatest Master ever, and only got a few minutes out of him.

[@jrobertlysaght]

it makes me so greedy. Like I wish we'd had half a season with Jacobi as the master, before he had to regenerate.

[@levindeed]

@@marksaunders7920AND he was the Shalka Master that basically got canonized starting the current season, because the Richard E Grant aka Shalka Doctor was in line of faces in Rogue

[@SweenyTodd98]

"YOU KNEW!" Paula's anguish is fantastic! This is the roller-coaster that is Doctor Who.

[@djcowell91]

Worse, we all know other things that she knows, and she knows that we know what you don't know Paula. MwahahahahaHA!

[@YN97WA]

Loved this reaction! Paula's was priceless. Katrina's reaction to Paula's torment was fun to watch too. Great job Gallifrey Girls!👍👍

[@DavidCharpentierBuzano]

Priceless indeed!

[@abstractnonsense3253]

- _The drums, the drums, the drums, the never ending drumbeat. Open me, you human fool. Open the light and summon me and receive my majesty._ - _Destroy him! And you will give your power to me!_ Such a great episode

[@LilSpookyyy]

I never noticed the drums comment damn

[@DJ_LP_ViBE]

One thing about Paula's reactions, there is hardly ever a slow burn of realization with her. She takes no time to connect the dots even seeing things before as they are developing. Remember when she was like 'Does this mean all Time Lords have titles' or something like that? Sharp as a tack she is! Chan incredible tho.

[@franl155]

lol "She takes no time to connect the dots" can be read two ways! I had to read on a bit to realise you meant the other way.

[@firefly24601]

I... I think this episode broke Paula.

[@Ladco77]

Doctor Who breaks you so you'll heal back stronger. Then it breaks you again.

[@ajivins1]

Cue Coldplay...

[@simonweaver9000]

I remember watching this when it first came out. Imagine having to wait a whole week to watch the next episode! This still gives me the shivers now.

[@michaelbradley730]

Yes, a Time Lord's true name is secret. Titles like The Doctor and The Master are chosen by the individual in question, but quite a few Time Lords also have a second name they sometimes used. During his time at the Academy, the Doctor was nicknamed Theta Sigma (shortened to Theta), but that name was only ever used at the Academy. You also have to keep in mind that Time Lords are all telepathic. Speaking to each other also likely had mental components during conversation that added more depth.

[@SteveInScotland]

OMG, That reaction! That’s why I love you gals. One doesn’t know, the other is giving sly looks to camera, I’m on the other side of the lens practically screaming as I’m in on the story too. It’s so gooood!

[@robertbrown569]

There was no better way to bring back the Master than by using Derek Jacobi. Shame he wasn't around for longer, but Big Finish have done several audio dramas in which Jacobi plays the character fighting in the Time War.

[@hmsljj]

"You see them out there surviving. And that's fantastic!" Jack paying tribute to Nine. Awesome .....

[@PaulaDeming]

I LOVED this moment!

[@galeno07]

Paula is like the dream binge-partner for anyone :) For those of us that love reaction videos, she's like the template for reactions for anything lol

[@shexec32]

Even though 'Blink' has the better story, I feel this is the better episode for reactions. Only this episode's revelations have Paula go on a 98-word rant in 37.61s, and ends with a 😱face at 13:43.

[@Max-jf5vu]

Such a brilliant episode. The Master's reveal is... well... masterful!

[@the0thersyde725]

BEST REACTION EVER! That Freakout was brilliant. The wait for your next reaction is gonna be torture. Hint: Easiest way to describe the master is he is the Moriarty to the Doctor's Sherlock Holmes.

[@stevemorganexperience7833]

At the beginning Paula said I like this at the moment but we’ll see... we smile Later on Paula says I love this show.... we think you just wait Even later when Paula says she’s a whovian..... we laugh.. bless you When Paula buys T-shirt, .....oh so adorable This episode.....WELCOME TO THE LIFE

[@shadaxe]

She takes the time to know the voices of Roger Delgado and Anthony Ainley. Katrina is such a beautiful, geeky, nerd. She makes my pulse go all wibbley-wobbley, timey-whimey.

[@stevemorganexperience7833]

Tim Bernard Katrina has outtrumped my who knowledge at times, which I ignorantly didn’t expect, she is very cool

[@KatAlysha]

Thanks y'all ☺😄💕

[@jkpole]

WOW your history of the actors who played The MASTER is super super AMAZING.... I only know because I have seen every episode since Dr Who started... however when I saw the 1st episode I was 4 yrs... so I might have forgotten one or two of the first episodes

[@ftumschk]

Bit of trivia: Sir Derek Jacobi (Yana/The Master) played Hamlet in a BBC production in 1980, and his Ophelia was Lalla Ward (Romana II in Classic Who, and then-wife of the great Tom Baker).

[@Grizzly01]

and had already played The Master in the 2003 animated story Scream of the Shalka.

[@majkus]

Well, of course Sir Derek also played Claudius in 'I, Claudius', with a guy named John Hurt playing Caligula.

[@ftumschk]

@@majkus ...and a couple of guys named Brian Blessed and Patrick Stewart, among others. I wonder what became of them ;)

[@dngillikin]

And in that 1980 production of Hamlet, Claudius was played by Patrick Stewart, who also played Claudius to David Tennant's Hamlet in a 21st century televised BBC production. Sir Patrick also teased Lalla for co-starring in Doctor Who during the making of the Jacobi version, which is amusing considering the role Sir Patrick would best become known for years later.

[@1nelsondj]

I love the dynamic you 2 have, both empathetic, caring about the characters, involved in the stories so you have great reactions. Katrina manages to avoid spoilers (such self control) and every emotion Paula feels shows on her face. You Gallifrey gals are the best.

[@ropecrewman36]

Great reaction! I really wish that I could have experienced Utopia in the same way when I fist watched, but I was already told ahead of time "Oh, by the way, The Master shows up in Series 3!" :-( Still y'all make my favorite show even more fun to watch. Can't wait for Series 4 aka an even bigger roller coaster!

[@jokerz7936]

While he was dying and regeneration is usually reserved for renewing a Time Lords life but if the Time Lord is skilled enough they can regenerate at will and even choose their new form. In classic Who the Doctor traveled with a Time Lord named Romana for a while and she regenerated simply because she was bored with her last body and chose to take the form of someone they met before.

[@adrianahumada5930]

So many people who watch DW reaction videos wait patiently for Blink, personally I''m always more excited for reactions to Utopia, and you ladies didn't disappoint. That's your best reaction yet. The last fifteen minutes of this episode are riveting.

[@fleason771]

This makes me smile so much. Over a decade since this aired & Paula is as captivated as we were then! A testament to RTD's body of work & an incredible legacy 😍

[@chaospoet]

That meltdown at the end was wonderful. Think of how hard it's been for US to keep silent this entire time! Best way to explain The Master is think of The Doctor as Sherlock Holmes and The Master as Professor Moriarty. An equal in every way to The Doctor but batshit crazy and evil.

[@ABrecher]

I don't know, but I have this gut feeling that Paula is going to _love_ Matt Smith.

[@davidcave5426]

I love it when newbies have a meltdown! So many questions, so few answers! BWAH HAH HAH HAH!! Now think about how WE (who watched it when it came out) had to WAIT a WEEK to find out the answers!! followed by more questions!

[@Alfwin]

I've seen a lot of reactions to this episode, and this might be the best one. That was truly spectacular. Oh, and just be glad the Time Lords you're seeing _do_ have titles like that. Time Lords' actual names tend to be needlessly long and a bit silly (looking at you, Inquisitor Darkelastaquistahastrad).

[@marksaunders7920]

Couldn't agree more. Much prefer the ones with titles: The Doctor, the Master, the Corsair, the Clockmaker, the Rani, the Monk, the Eleven...

[@ABrecher]

[@luketaylor5848]

[@bp07goldj]

Paula's face at 13:44 is mine when I realized I'll have to wait for the next reaction... This is genuinely a series I have all the time in the world for. There's something about watching someone new to it react, someone familiar reminisces/re-enjoys and then just discussion of character. Thank You :) :D

[@PaulaDeming]

[@FANTHEORYTV]

Andrew Brecher thank you so much!

[@whobp8]

That was a blast! This is instantly my favorite of all the reactions you've ever done. Paula bubbling over with questions, excitement and apprehension and Katrina's glee at getting such a big reaction and finally being able to talk about some of the things that have been revealed in this episode. Just terrific!

[@chaddon7685]

"I'm brilliant!" That's the moment Tenant took over as my unquestioned favorite. I don't know exactly why, but that line always tickles me and, to me, sums up, in a lot of ways, who the doctor is.

[@Novaximus]

You should make paula wait another week to watch part 2 like the rest of us had to!!! lmao Paula....break out your "chips". It's a good time to eat em. I can already tell by the view count that this is one of those reactions worth a 2nd/3rd/4th rewatch. You two are adorable.

[@E_btsot798]

get ready for a rollercoster of emotions in the rest of the sesons moving forward..... good luck!

[@anerye1763]

I love that this episode shows also what kind of a person the Master would be without... well... can we call it nurture? Brilliant, kind and willing to sacrifice himself to help others. I don't think that the Master will ever turn "good" on the show (he is too much fun as a villain), but this makes him a more interesting one, at least in my eyes.

[@TheHopperUK]

It does imply that he at least has the capacity for some kind of goodness, or that he can recognise it and strive for it if he wants to. I do love the moment where Yana is all 'my genius is unrecognised' because that also shows that the Master's vainglory is present in the human, the way the Doctor's heroism was present in John Smith.

[@iansmith4023]

Katrina once again explains,so that we don't have to :) I need to listen again...I recognised the Delgado voice;but I didn't get the Ainley

[@penfold7455]

Just so you get an idea of those two Masters whose voices were heard by the dying (Derek Jacobi) one, here are some links: - This is Roger Delgado's first ever scene as the Master from a 1971 Third Doctor story "Terror of the Autons" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWKTpoqHbN-mjq8 - This is a tribute video did showing a lot of Anthony Ainley's scenes from his time as the Master from the Fourth Doctor to the Seventh Doctor on TV, and some clips of him playing the Master in a "Doctor Who" video game from the '90s kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ7OhHyDiM-GlZY Interesting Fact: The character of the Master was supposed to be killed off in the last series (1973-1974) of the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) with an epic face-off between him and the Doctor; but Delgado was killed in a car crash in Turkey before shooting began. That, in part, was a factor for Pertwee deciding to leave "Doctor Who", since he and Delgado were really close friends.

[@Bartlebycs]

This episode is so well done in how it's structured. Captain Jack serves as the perfect red herring, the audience believes his return to the show is the highlight of the episode. Then we get a story that seems very predictable. He's clearly going to save the last humans, we've seen him do this many times before. But Jack's back, and that enhances the experience. Also he can't die, which adds a bit of mystery. It's only when we are almost through the episode when the tone suddenly changes. There is something very wrong with Professor Yana. And then he shows Martha his FOB watch. New Whovians are jumping up in their seats, and Classic Whovians have the old dusty gears in their heads suddenly start to turn. No. Freaking. Way. He's back.

[@69coolchris]

Great reactions. You need to watch some classic Doctor Who to find out more about the Master. You'll have to watch the 3rd Doctor (Jon Pertwee) series, as that is when the Master was first introduced. Subscribed 😀

Utopia always has the best reactions. From the moment they show the watch, the episode just goes into such an explosive energy. Jack, Rose, the Futurekind, it's all a smokescreen keeping you from thinking too much about the Professor and the drums in his mind...

Chantho is probably my favorite all time Doctor Who character - not only is her costume absolutely amazing (and so different), but she's just such a genuinely nice person; when humans arrived at her homeworld, she allowed them in, helped them build their rocket to reach Utopia, supported Professor Yana in his work and life - and then, when she realized Yana was dangerous, she was willing to kill him, even at the cost of her life, to protect the dream of Utopia for the humans. I would've loved for her to be a companion of the Doctor, even just for a couple of episodes. Though I am not dissatisfied with the emotional end to her story as it is.

[@mrandrews3616]

One of my strongest memories of Doctor Who is of this episode when it first came out back in 2007. Unlike a lot of other kids my age at the time I had seen some classic who which featured the Master so I actually cheered when he announced who he was. My dad was also there at the time and he started watching back in Hartnell's time and his jaw just dropped at "I am the Master". One of those brilliant moments. Two generations of Whovians.
