Doctor Who | The Devil's Chord | The Doctor Plays The Chord To Banish Maestro

From Series 14 Episode 02 "The Devil's Chord"

[@aerelyamirart]

"Do it" from Maestro always gets me 😂😂. So sassy.

[@sol20051]

Walk without rhythm and you wont attract the Maestro.

[@PhilDrury]

Pay attention to the background music here.

[@LegionIvory]

Nice reference. lol

[@guy3854]

Maestro lowkey reminds me of Titan from Megamind

[@exwa1300]

0:02 Nah I say Maestro looks like mad hatter from Alice in Wonderland

[@Zoras88]

They remind me more of a demented Miss Frizzle

[@SizzleMoonSong]

Mx Jinkx Monsoon is one of a kind but she would appreciate the comparisons I'm sure.😂

[@foxtrot-gamesandwit4475]

While it is a little unfortunate that the doctor wasn’t able to defeat the threat by himself this early in his series while they’re trying to establish him this was a fantastic scene. The Maestro was holding their breath during the whole scenario and you can tell that because there’s no music in the background, music itself is terrified it might’ve been beaten by the madman in a box himself. And the line: “I’ve experienced everything and if that’s where music comes from” that was a really excellent line too I know it’s hard to go back to being hopeful about Doctor Who post Chibnal but this is a good start I’d say

[@PhilDrury]

Listen to the background music during this. Also, going back a few years. Weren't there 9 chords in the Peter Howell theme?

[@c0mpu73rguy]

That episode was fantastic. To think I had doubts about Ncuti, since he appeared too confident to me in his introduction episode... Also, Maestro reminds me a lot of Winnifred Sanderson. Probably the hair or the voice, idk...

I get that reference.

[@dawfurby]

This is some low key stellar acting though

[@Badname2011]

Horrible writing and acting and effects. why isnt the doctor questioning how he can see transparent notes picking up and dragging people to their death? also. why would a god be confused about their gender? or care about pronouns? its even worse than the concept behind the space babies episode.

[@codyc2500]

I don’t think Maestro cares about gender, that’s kind of the whole point of their costuming. They’re the embodiment of music, saying why wouldn’t they stick to one gender is the same as asking why would they? And the special effects in Dr. Who have never been stellar, but I find the current effects they’re trying to at least be creative. I’d wager the Doctor wouldn’t question it because he’s seen plenty of weirder stuff in the eons he’s lived lol. None of your points make sense. You’re hating to hate.

[@Badname2011]

@@codyc2500 except the whole pronoun thing at the begiining, and the little boy calling her "daddy". its being intentionally confusing for no other reason than the showrunner wanting to stuff an agenda down your throat. also, the numbers dont lie. viewership has been dropping like a rock and its worse now than anything chibnall put out.

[@SizzleMoonSong]

​@@Badname2011you seem to be the only one confused. 😒

[@Badname2011]

@@SizzleMoonSong not sure what you mean. its a mentally ill woman who thinks calling herself a "daddy" makes sense. i have an excellent grasp. as do the many other viewers who stopped watching this drek. but please, tell me first, what is a man or a woman? explain that to me. prove you understand this like you claim that you do?

Wasn't the right G note :P

Ncuti’s Doctor becomes fully the Doctor (to me, at least) at this moment: 0:27

[@KayKayLette]

When he hits everything right except the last note then it's Game Over

[@juliamiller5120]

I legitimately thought I wouldn’t be able to take Ncuti seriously as the Doctor after sex education. But honestly, he kind of slaps.

[@EmptyMan000]

He's got charisma and it grows on you with time.

[@zerozolo8981]

Why are people hating on this so much?

[@KaliahSheDevil]

bigotry, for the most part

[@xJeylx]

What are the notes / chords he is playing ?

[@shemdellashemygd29]

Probably the chords one of the Beatles mentioned earlier in the episode

[@clownishphoeniX]

4th octave C major scale, with the 8th (bum) note being an Eb5.

[@TwoSixer]

They have to find the notes that make up the chord

[@screenmonkey]

Okay I've watched enough Doctor Who over the ages, but when did they start bringing in straight magic into a admittedly pretty soft scifi series.

[@MantraMan2077]

It was like this early in the series. It's more of a return to roots kinds of direction. It's even stated in canon that Magic did exist, but the Timelords didn't approve of it, so they altered history so that the world obeyed physics. And with all the Timelords gone again, well... Magic makes a return to stage. Through the dark corners and fuzzy thinking and imagination of the living. At least that's my interpretation.

[@AWeller92]

after into the wild blue yonder

[@rockysandman5489]

"The Shakespeare Code" from Series 3 with Tennant had straight up magic.

[@Creek932]

@@rockysandman5489 Not exactly, not to this extent. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but in The Shakespeare Code it’s explained that the witches are actually aliens and their word-based powers do get a somewhat flimsy sci-fi explanation. I’m pretty sure Ncuti’s era is the first time magic has just flatout been acknowledged as being magic.

This is legit toO good

[@ararazul9638]

"Oh I would never call myself that, Maestro" Some hundred stories before... Doctor: Your leader will be angry if you kill me... I'm a genius. Ice Warrior: Geeeeniusssss Not a criticism, though. Perfectly understandable that the Doc would change his perspective after everything he's been through.

[@commandermaverick1487]

The maestro has been nothing more than an annoyance

[@AlejandraHernandez-nl1el]

No he is the 15th doctor . The 14th doctor was David Tennant

[@archievii]

I can see the potential…but…I can’t watch this anymore. Doctor Who, has become like SO many long running shows…BORING. I’m sorry, but I wanted Jodie Whittaker to be given another shot as the Doctor…it was WAY too soon for her period to end in my opinion. I’m fine with brining David Tennant back as well…but, I can’t watch this show anymore. Where’s the DRAMA…the CONFLICT…the SHEER POWER of the actor SPEAKING this absolute ICON’S name “I’m the DOCTOR.”

[@hanpolo2727]

Respectfully, I think the Phantom from Mario + Rabbids makes a better music villain than the Maestro.

There's killing. Though the Doctor never directly does killing. Besides, it's a family show, did you expect a bloodbath like every Game Of Thrones series?

[@judeh8160]

Maestro is a cosmic god who exists beyond space and time. They're immune to the laws of reality, so life and death have no real meaning to them. It's near impossible to destroy them, but even if you succeed they can restore themselves from nothing.

[@1kreature]

That's a hard pass. Only villain has any proper story and acting and they are playing single notes referring to them as chords? Expecting numbers for next ep to dip into the 1.7M or less LOL. This train wreck is twerking down the line.

[@devinspencer1678]

They're playing the notes that make up the chord. I thought that was obvious
