This was really interesting, Bill looks at all these titles with awe and wonder. The Doctor (1) looks at them with fear and 12 was like "they cut out the jokes" because that is all that matters to him at this point. He likes to think of the good times because he has suffered so much

Twelve knows what he is. He can be and often is terrible and powerful. But he's also kind and tries to be fun because what's the point of saving everyone if no one has any fun?

Even with that, the First Doctor really wasn't much a hero of himself. He was more like a goody-goody adventurer, it was until the Second Doctor that he actually became "the one who fights the monsters".

Hypothetically if William Hartnell was able to play the first doctor in this special and if he was the same way/age as when he left the series, I wonder if he would have been able to convey the same reaction as Bradley.

Van Y. Imagine if you were just a rebel who wanted to see the universe and you were told you would become some great, feared, historical figure. The First Doctor is terrified - all he wanted to do was see the universe!

[@huks.]

Bradley's portrayal of the First Doctor was awful and had barely anything in common with Hartnell's aside from his appearance. He's like a low-energy imitation lacking all the vigour and excitement which make Hartnell's Doctor such a joy to watch. I don't know whether it's the fault of the acting direction or Bradley himself, but it's quite frankly a disgrace. I suggest watching The Time Meddler to get an idea of how the First Doctor would really react to meeting his future self

[@TheYvan93]

Huks I've seen all of Hartnell's episodes, thank you. This doesn't stop me from enjoying Bradley.

(Huks) There speak someone who is way too invested in the subject. Bradley's portrayal of the first Doctor was widely regarded, but I guess you think you know better than everyone else. I have no issue with you disliking the portrayal -- everyone is entitled to their own opinion, of course -- but to call it disgraceful is, well, simply overwrought and mildly ridiculous.

David Tennant's Dr Who was also like that, which why he is still my favorite. There is this episode, the Fury of the Timelord, where he imprison some beings that are immortal, so he puts them in the worst places to suffer forever as punishment for trying to destroy earth.

[@almightyk11]

1:27 Most initially felt that his reaction was just from seeing his future but put the whole thing into perspective. This Doctor has not long left gallifrey for nothing other than to see the universe. While recently dying and choosing not to regenerate, he get's a glimpse of his future of he lives. He doesn't see a playful man, or a curious one. He sees a tyrant, one that is feared across the entire universe, one that can send an entire army running at the mention of his name. He truly does see himself became one of the most despicable beings to ever exist.

[@comicconcarne]

So basically, the fearsome Valeyard is just The Doctor after "they cut out the jokes"

[@vullord666]

comicconcarne I mean, pretty much yeah. There has always been a dark side to the Doctor (even with context). I think the most terrifying moment was when 12 said “The Doctor is no longer here; you are stuck with me”. If you think away the Doctor (the rules and promises he made to himself), then you’re just stuck with the most powerful man in the universe unshackled. The Doctor has always done whatever he pleases but even that can be terrifying to the first. He has singe handedly decided the fates of entire species, civilizations, planets, galaxies, and even the universe (on occasion). Even with context, just from a different perspective the Doctor can be a terrifying and tyrannical existence. What gives him the right to decide everyone else’s fate? To decide who loves and who dies? Nothing. He just does it because he feels like it. I think the first Doctor would be terrified even if they hadn’t cut out the jokes and gave the full picture. He’s just so naive and young (despite being 400 something). He just recently ran away from Gallifrey with his granddaughter to see the universe and all of a sudden he’s told that he becomes this godly force in the future that has probably committed more death than any other single individual in the universe (even with context, that’s a hard pill to swallow).

Love the Valeyard and reference from Old Who. Trenzalore the war, Matt's again. And Skull Moon was a Time War battle in which the doctor had a part. In Hell Bent, a soldier says he was there at skull moon then sides with Capaldi. Destroyer of Skaro is Old Who but partly New Who again with Tennant and Capaldi.

I wouldn’t really call it an inconsistency in this case since the tardis has always changed appearance and the doctor calls it a redecoration.

Even if it forces him to do things he doesn't like. And the 1st Doctor's frightened reaction really hits home when you know what's in his future. I really wish we had more of those self reflective moments with 1 and 12 contrasting the differences between where they were in the past, where 12 was now (wondering whether or not to live or die as he is) and where he would be going (Wherever Captain Chibbers and the 13th Doctor are taking the show for Series 11) Ah well, still love the episode despite some of the "All ladies are made of glass" moments from the 1st Doctor.

[@jakerobinson9475]

I agree. I had hoped that, while it wouldn’t be the sole plot, that we would be shown how different 1 and 12 are, from how they act to the type of adventures they are used to. I had also hoped that 1 seeing his future would cause him to become even more determined not to regenerate or at least become more interested in knowing who he ends up becoming. And despite the how they made 1 more sexist than he actually was and the easy to prevent plot, I still enjoyed the episode for it’s emotional story and for the chance to see the original TARDIS again.

@@ramsesbams I kind of see it more as how she's The Doctor after her experiences with him. The man she knows isn't a monster who goes around destroying worlds but a traveler who rarely ever passed up helping someone he encountered who needed it, including herself. While the 1st Doctor is seeing only all the destruction Bill's likely seeing all the odds The Doctor has faced and overcome to save the day. Whether that is a good interpretation for her to have is certainly up for debate but most of The Doctor's companions do tend to have a lot of faith in his inherent goodness.

One thing I love about this episode is how First changes his perception of what “Doctor of War” means. In this scene he’s horrified with what he becomes and thinks 12 is some kind of monster but during the Christmas Truce scene he sees “Doctor of War” as a man who goes round saving everyone why? Because it’s kind

I like that they all had different reactions. The captain was confused, Bill thought it was cool, 1 was terrified, and 12 looked ashamed

[@noahfischel5164]

The beautiful mix of all of the Doctor's newer theme song pieces was gorgeous. Starts off with 12's theme, transitions into 10's, and then moves into a bombastic version of 11's I am the Doctor. So good!

[@WebofSpeedForceTS-FU]

I heard 11's and 12's, but in which minute sounds 10's?

[@dhooth]

I love David Bradley's face at 1:27. This was a great scene bc of how well it showed the dilemma 1 was facing, and that the universe might just be better off if he refused to regenerate. I feel like the rest of the episode should have focussed a little more on that conflict, but it was still a pretty great story.

[@dhooth]

Please stop making comments about this everywhere, mate. I heard from other people that a lot of lines from the 1st Doctor in this episode don't fit his actual character. Personally I can't form an opinion on that, bc I haven't watched the 1st Doctor's episodes. Still, I don't think any of this should devalue Bradley's performance, let alone the entire episode. There were still plenty of great moments in the episode with the 1st Doctor (example: this one) and you're unwilling to see anything good in this entire story because you feel personally insulted by how the character was presented. If the 1st Doctor was portrayed inaccurately, I think the writing would be more at fault than the actor. I'm not saying this isn't a problem (I am saying I don't know), but it definitely isn't nearly problematic enough to post 7000 KZbin comments complaining about it. So uh, please stop doing that, thanks

[@mirlov]

puik puikmans you should watch the classics. They’re really good, also, I don’t see why everyone is so offended, it’s just a tv show.. so what if it’s sexist? It’s funny.

[@dhooth]

Personally I felt like the sexism jokes were repeated a bit too often throughout the episode to still be funny at the end. It wasn't the topic of the jokes that kinda bothered me, just the repetition. It didn't ruin the quality of the entire story ofc. Also, if it's funny but not true to the original character, I can see where some people are coming from. Comedy shouldn't be more important than the characters themselves. It should originate from the characters, rather than appear out of nowhere. Again, Idk if that's the case here, I should prob try to watch the classics sometime to get a good idea of the 1st Doctor's personality.

This scene is so powerful. The Doctor ran from Gallifrey because he was scared of the legends. The monsters from beyond time like the Hybrid. Beings of terrible power, gods and demons. He ran because he thought he could avoid it all. But in this moment he sees that his very decision to run, is exactly what sealed his fate. And not only did he not escape the legends. But in his future, he is the greatest and most terrible legend of them all. The one even the other legends fear.

CJ MacPhail not really NO , This is not more epic than..... The Dalek Invasion in Parting Of ways. The Scene were the doctors burns the sky in the Poison Sky. Dalek Invasion In Journeys End.actually all of the season 4 finale was epic The Doctors rooftop speech in The Eleventh Hour. The Epic Music used in the final scenes of Vampires in Venice. The TARDIS revealing itself in the Oval Office. The Speech the Doctor Makes to the silence as man first sets foot on the moon , River song revealed to be Amy’s daughter. Lastly: The Scene were all 13 doctors Were onscreen at once and flew all there TARDISs into Gallifrey to save it from destruction by a Dalek fleet. So NO this is not the most Epic Moment in Doctor Who , Moffat was trying to make it epic but it falls flat and last 20 seconds.

I still think this was the cleverest counter measure any of the Doctor's enemies have ever used against him. Showing the darkest moments of the Doctor's life, accurately but shorn entirely of context, to his youngest and most naive self, during a crisis of self doubt about his own morality? That would mess up most of us, but imagine you're a strong contender for being the literal main cause of death in the universe... *Damn*

[@gameover9390]

Honestly that should have been the plot, the first doctor was already deadset on not regenerating because he to him regenerating was creating a new man, not a new version of himself. And now he’s see what he will become if he follows through with regenerating, a Man feared by the entire universe, a man who does whatever he wants because he can and what he does has earn numerous names and titles of untold carnage. Bro would need a serious convincing conversation from his future self to make him go through with it.

[@benjiammin]

I think Bill's face during that whole Doctor of War bit is all of our faces: for as much as we know that the Doctor has left death and destruction in his wake, he never started or asked for those fights and he leaves behind just as much life behind him too. It's easy for him to be labeled a villain and a monster, mostly because he himself doesn't see himself as a hero, but we all know he is.

We still have yet to see the modern version of the Valeyard. "There is some evil in all of us, Doctor - even you. The Valeyard is an amalgamation of the darker sides of your nature, somewhere between your twelfth and final incarnation, and I may say you do not improve with age." The Master to the Sixth Doctor, The Trial of a Time Lord: The Ultimate Foe

[@vullord666]

I mean, we kinda have. Like the Master said The Valeyard is an “amalgamation” of the darker sides of your nature. We’ve seen a dark side to every Modern Doctor in the revived Era. 12 alone had a lot of moments where he bent his own rules or straight out broke them. We are then told (again by the Master; like you just said) that the Valeyard exists somewhere between the Doctor’s 12th and final incarnation (which was so strange at the time considering timelords only have 12 regenerations and 13 incarnations). Since the time of the Doctor and the Doctor got more regenerations we never got a number (so infinite was possible; also the whole timeless children thing that I want to forget exists), so basically the Valeyard is anywhere between the 11th Doctor (or is it 10th since 10 regenerated and kept the same face?) and infinity. I don’t think they’ll ever make a whole era where the Doctor is completely dark; it would be cool if they brought back the Valeyard as a villain though (I mean they’re still a time traveler; hmm, I wonder how the TARDIS feels about The Valeyard and when the Doctor goes dark... things to ponder). That or the master was just lying; they can really do whatever they want with the Valeyard (I don’t expect Chibnall to though considering his run so far).

Spaceship episodes always have the risk of being "running through corridor" episodes, but they managed to have a contained sci-fi setting that also involved some hard science, and in the past episodes like Midnight have used contained environments to their advantage.
