big CONSPIRACY | Doctor Who Season 1 Episode 7 "The Long Game" Reaction!

[@JoeMama410]

It’s surprising that Adam was such a selfish fool. It’s not like they picked him up from the inner circle of an amoral tech magnate with a huge collection of alien tech…

[@1funkyflyguy]

Nice!

[@Nerdexotic]

Not to mention him thinking it was funny nearly causing WW3.

[@OrbitalCookie]

It's my head canon that Adam was going to be the next a**hole tech magnate if things went his way. Oh yea he was licking the boots of more powerful, but things could have changed as soon as he got into power himself.

[@JoeMama410]

@@OrbitalCookie Yes, but instead Dr. Sarah Gardner took over, then she was taken over by the Goa'uld Osiris... Wait, that's her Stargate character.

[@cardsfanboy]

@@OrbitalCookie He ends up being much worse than that in other source material. (only to redeem himself in the end)

[@cyberwolf1402]

"He is no one" because the last time he saw Mickey (at the end of Slitheen) he gave him a disk that erased every mention of him.

[@OniShade]

I've rewatched this season so many times and I've never put that together! 😅

[@mrtveye6682]

"Never go into a Jazz-club" 🤣

[@w.d2343]

Funny thing is that in Doctor Who expanded lore there's a comic where Adam becomes the main antagonist, seeking revenge on the Doctor for letting him back on earth. Never read it, I just know it exists

[@Kostyurik]

I read it, it's great. Spoiler Alert ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Adam's gravestone ended up with words "Adam Mitchell, the Greatest Companion" from the Doctor(s)

[@AHYL88]

I've not seen this episode in years, for at least over a decade, and it's weird seeing Simon Pegg play a villain, having seen him in later stuff like the Mission Impossible films and other main character protag roles in Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End and Paul.

[@MrDarkwing78]

You forgot "The Hobbit". I wouldn't have bothered, but it was his biggest role to date. 😆

[@Llanchlo]

... and if Emme keeps going she will eventually see his partner in crime Nick Frost

[@AHYL88]

@@MrDarkwing78 Err, he definitely was not in The Hobbit, I just looked it up even though I've not seen those films and he's not listed or credited, but he's in Star Trek, and Ready Player One.

[@MrDarkwing78]

@@AHYL88 I shouldn’t comment after midnight! Confusing Martin Freeman with Simon.

[@mollymaclachlan]

There was a BBC interview from around the time where he said he was really pleased to have been cast as a villain. He does a great job of it, too, I'd like to see him in some more such roles.

[@mattp6089]

One more episode and then you're into the excellent Steven Moffat double episode for Eccleston's season. That man can sure write a Who story (see Blink...)

[@paulpenna5615]

The original classic series was developed to be an educational show. The idea was that the trips to the past would teach the viewers about history, and the trips to the future would teach the viewers about science. So, yeah, like all good science fiction shows, Doctor Who explores and examines real world ideas.

[@jackduddle9449]

His new modification really does make him look like he joined a cult😂

[@najhoant]

This was actually the very first episode of Doctor Who I ever watched, I saw it on my country’s public television (the only season they aired). It was such a blast, I got hooked and watched the rest of the series

[@azizuladnan2957]

"My husband's right. It's a conspiracy. Do you have any idea how annoying it is when my husband's right?"

[@arthurcamargo8416]

This has been a theme in governance for a long time. George Orwell wrote about it in his book "1984" back in 1948. Depeche Mode released a song about it in 1986 called "New Dress." And, of course, more recently in the 2000s and on, it has become a very real concern for many governments and populations around the world. As aged as this episode is, the topic is still relevant today! Plus it was a fun episode for nerds especially since they kept highlighting how powerful knowledge can be! Much too powerful for Adam, for sure!

[@alexandermills9965]

2 words Rupert Murdock, in charge of nearly all of news and entertainment newspapers and the things we can see on the internet.

[@SpontaneousAndStructured]

One of the best lessons I learned from this show is to choose your companions carefully. The Doctor tends to choose people he admires - which tends to be eclipsed by the audience identifying with and seeing things from the perspective of the companions, making us wish we could go adventures with the Doctor.

[@MusikCassette]

1:16 didn`t you know the author of the hitch hikers guide to the Galaxy ( Douglas Adams) also wrote for Doctor Who?

[@ronfehr7899]

When Adam's mom snapped her fingers, it wasn't necessary to see the effect on Adam. We already knew what had happened. Besides, it was his mom's expression that we wanted to see.

[@Legendary3Dgamer]

1:22 I like how u say we like your a character of the story I’ve seen 2 Doctor who reaction KZbinrs do this already and I love it. it makes the reaction more adventurous in my opinion

[@HuntingViolets]

This is a tool in literary/film essays.

[@joshuajoshua2732]

Adam the companion who couldn't. Rose being the "best" abit of an understatement".

[@Legendary3Dgamer]

0:32 he didn’t trick its because his DNA picked up roses DNA that allowed his cut out emotions to exist due to human assistance which no Dalek is normally allowed or able to feel. If that made any sense

[@elvwood]

He was pretending in order to get Rose to touch his casing, though. Kind of ironic he ended up with real emotions afterwards!

[@berricmisik4563]

"This guy should never go to a jazz club." Lul

[@olivefernando7879]

You don't just need the key, I like the thing the 1st doctor said about piloting the tardis, (if you don't know how) you'd starve to death before you found the light switch

[@Swenglish]

I think this episode was originally written with Mickey, but there was some kind of scheduling conflict or something, so they moved some things around and put Adam in it.

[@azizuladnan2957]

Funnily enough, I never hated Adam, mostly due to the fact that I read what the sources of the motivation in what he did, which is wanting to find a cure for his father. But still, asking future information can lead to consequences, but I really can't hate him for what he did... hashtag Adam deserve better I guess XD

[@davidmichaelson1092]

Yay Simon Pegg! So many actors from Shaun of the Dead show up in Dr. Who.

[@10thdoctor15]

Glad you liked the philosophical aspect of this one.

[@GrumpyOldGit-zk1kw]

More like 'The walls are made of cold".

[@The_Other_Dan]

"Isn't she in the next room. Why doesn't this guy just run to her." Did you forget. No one in Dr Who runs =)

[@grabtharshammer]

HA HA, 90% of being with the Doctor is running

[@htim8997]

Actually, the flashlight makes sense, because in the year 200,000 no one has a cell phone anymore. (Except time travelers, obviously.)

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Emme! ⏳ Philosophical, indeed... sometimes fun, sometimes scary... but the philosophical stuff is probably the most common theme.

[@HuntingViolets]

Beelzebub! (Anna Maxwell Martin.)

[@happyhedgehog6450]

"Knowledge is power." If Cersei has done anything for the human race, she has quite clearly proven that, in her own words, "Power is power." Hehe.

[@HuntingViolets]

"Rose is the best." I don't know; Rose is the one who gave Adam the Tardis key. :)

[@arch1017]

Also, knowing what episode is up next too...

[@IslesYankeeLady]

@@arch1017Nope. She said what she said, and she’s right. Rose is the best. 🥰

[@neezduts69420]

I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with being knowledge greedy but I do think it's possible that knowing too much could eventually drive someone insane

[@MrPaulMorris]

Adam was written to be a rather slimy self-centred character and I think Bruno Langley played the role very nicely with just enough undercurrent to suggest all was not well without being too obvious. Unfortunately, it turned out that Langley's own personality was rather too close to that of the character here; his acting career was cut short a couple of years later after pleading guilty to two charges of sexual assault. . .

[@princesselizabeth653]

You should try and watch Sarah Jane’s Adventure it is a spinoff of Doctor Who. I loved it growing up

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

If you think 9th's comments are mean, never watch 6th.

[@IsiahBradley]

THANKS for this!!!!

[@IslesYankeeLady]

Eee Tamsin Grieg, Anna Maxwell Martin and of course Simon Pegg. 😊

Walls of GOLD??? Dont you means walls of COLD???

Jazz club. lol Nice one. :D

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

Hey! Simon’s Peg!!

[@wrdreacts4247]

Gold, cold, small difference that makes a huge difference. (Sadly comment number 70)

[@AdamFishkin]

Getting caught up on your season 1 reactions, this is the episode that had flown under my personal radar despite seeing it when it first aired. Otherwise I would've remembered .... Simon Pegg??? Okay, this was released one year after "Shaun of the Dead", and 6 years before I became a hardcore fan of the Cornetto Trilogy. So for Pegg to be in another sci-fi, *as the villain,* is delightful. Also the threat of the Tardis ending up in the wrong hands, and how easy it could be if the Doctor ever trusted the wrong person, is quite a layered foreshadowing disguised by Adam's sheer expendable stupidity.

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

Bring paper towels for your next reaction... 🤧

[@alexthorpe6583]

Yeah, Simon Pegg was an interesting villain. The black woman actress (Christine Adams) was also in a few episodes of 'Agents of SHIELD', and in 'Black Lightning', she was the hero's ex-wife, and the mother of two daughters with powers of their own. News manipulation... well, I don't watch TV news anymore.

[@HuntingViolets]

I really like that actress.

[@andybodle7560]

"Some TV news is bad" should not produce the reaction "I will never watch TV news again". The internet is teeming with BS, and you're clearly happy to carry on using that. It's not hard to tell good news from bad.

[@cursedy__]

Can’t believe chai wasn’t in the room for all the propaganda mentions

Not all of us watched Classic Who, so thanks for the complete lack of consideration. Stop showing off and just let her take nuWho one episode at a time.
