@@tzarg Yes; Series 1 & 2 + (series 3 & 4) was made as both an end and beginning at the same time. End as in; series 1 & 2 lead to the last moment of the classic Doctor Who Whoniverse in end of episode Doomsday. (When the call with Rose got cut off; the classic WHoniverse stopped existing outside the TARDIS) (In a super short explination Doomsday moment is the same day/moment as the Big Bang moment (Same day/ same event/different perspective) (Donna is "drawn" to the TARDIS as the new Whoniverse comes into existance) But series 1 +2 is also an beginning to Doctor Who as every single event from when the Doctor grabs Rose Tyler´s hand to the call in end of Doomsday where Rose tel s the Doctor about her brother being born in that other whoniverse = the origin story fro how our Doctor came to be; (Bootstarp paradox style; just like we saw in Curse of the Fenric with Ace birth that came to be by futurepast events) =Rose borther is an multiversal hyvridchild with parents from two different whoiversis, (Source Ghostlight; last peiosde (Light tellls the Doctor he thinks the Doctor was born in a different Whoniverse) Moffat era = Doctor = Hybrid And the 1996 movie where we got told the mother to our Doctor was from Earth. Just like Rose brothers mother is (Jackie) = The shows most ordinary person (Jackie) is the most important person of them all Yes and there is more to the above but that is a start to begin see it) ..... + I mentoned series 3 & 4 is part of this beginning as it leads to the birth of that other multiversal hybrid child.... as the Masters parents hooks up just like the Doctor´s parents did in Doomsday in end of episode Journeys end. Baby Master parents are: The man born out of war and chaos + the Bad wolf girl. THat ater thier Earth they are on is (stolen from that other whoniverse and eds up withn the classic whonivers where it became Mondas.... There is a ton more here 2 ofc to much to tell n a short in put like this... Just know a female Rassilon saved the dying Mondasian mankind with the original first TARDIS, twice times over. We know this because it have hidden in plain sight of the show happend to our mankind (from the classic whoniverse) where we will loose our Earth now inside the new WHoniverse to the Daleks that turns it into New Skaro and we are saved to a brand new timemachine (twice times over) that was completed with the mind of the child of the TARDIS in the library. (This is the massive spoiler River Song hinted about on Trenzalore) as RIVERS have been saving us hidden in plain sight to "Heaven and Hell" as we all die (to its running matrix (storing us all "Souls/body patterns" on its "hardrive") where a second "blank" save of the entire mankind was made shortly after the Master built the harddrive (in question) when he needed somewhere to store all of our mankins living but dormant minds when he turned us all into the Master race; We got sent back to our bodies yes; but the dying "blank" Maser race was saved and stored on the harddrive instead....and they are like "base stations" for the 2nd set of saves later made of mankind as we all die, = our souls and body patterns are used by the base staions...to be the new whoniverse rulers over time (on Trenzalore).... So how did our Earth end up within the new WHoniverse without anyone noticing??? After our Earth was stolen from our (classic Whoniverse) in Stolen Earth...it was "returned" to the wrong (read New) Whoniverse... where "our" moon is a "fake" dragon egg, (and there is more ofc in the show about this,, including how we have a massive percepton filter around the Earth) in new whoniverse solar system where there already are a "copy" of Earth and Mondas since Doomsday/big bang... Yes all this is correct,,,+ there are a lot i have been skipping now....

If you didnt here is a small expliantion: The 2 parts of the Bad Wolf entity (Rose/TARDIS) in the futurepast have/are/will always been divding the Daleks into dust. This is why the TARDIS been going places out of control of the Doctor in the past, now and in the future. Same goes for Rose; but in her case it is still in her future (most of it) as she "will" become a Timelord we know very very well since the 4th Doctors time in the TARDIS. (Romana) But it doesnt end there; we know Rose also was present at the Gallifreyan high counsil at the very end of the Timewar when the Master "killed" everyone by ascending them at the Gallifreyan High counsil to save his existance as he (Jon Simms) was dying. = Rose became an ascended being, an ascended being we know as a certain White Guardian over time (seen in End of time pts 1 and 2) while the Master became the Black Guardian over time....= yes...exactly...even Missy and the current "Master" makes suddenly sense..

It kind of went over my head as a kid. But coming back now it's so heavy I can't keep a dry eye enduring this. The way the Doctor just turns around and looks at his Tardis. The pain in his eyes as he sends away what has been his home, and his future in Rose back to her mother. He loved her that much that he just went all the way and did the right thing. And again at the end. He stands alone in front of the demons within the pepper pots, making his peace and accepting his fate. Only for Rose to appear in blinding light, reciprocating that love and wanting him safe. Casting all those demons to ash and even withdrawing death itself from Jack. The Doctor saved Rose and Rose saved the Doctor. This Doctor and Rose forever. They were absolutely fantastic. (Side note. As heavy as this is, it adds so much weight later on in The Satan Pit. When the Doctor states that if he believes in anything, he believes in Rose. They went to the end of the world for each other.)

[@kennethnystrom593]

​@@rthe0 There is ofc a long way to tell this and a short way. Ill begin with the short way: First of it all go listen; again to the conversation the Moment had with the WarDoctor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2mroI2incqhkJY Hidden in plain sight in the conversation above; is the origin of the Doctor. "Story of your life" "I choose this form" "It is from your past." there is more here but this is the short version: those 3 lines of dialogue tells us the twist behind the twist for the RTD era. ....... Next add what we know about the origin for the Doctor. He was not born inside the "classic Whoniverse" Serial: Ghostlight (last scenes) His mother is from Earth. (1996movie) He is a hybrid (along side the Master) (Moffat) ....... As this is the short version ill skip over how Doomsday really was the Doomsday (for the classic Whoniverse) and instead shortlypoints at how Rose hiddenly told us about how her Whoniverse she was trapped in had its Doomsday/Big Bang in Journeys End (during the TARDIS being dragged off to the Dalek crucible scene) (she describes the events of the episode Big Bang) ....... Add all this together (and MUCH more) and one end up the twist beyond the twist. The Hybridchild of with a mother from Earth and a father from the lost "read" previous Whoniverse aka a child with parents from 2 diffrent Whoniversis. =Rose "really" IS from the Doctors past. = everything the Moment said is correct (yes even the craziest ramblings) AND That means....The most ordinary person on the whole Earth (and the entire show: 1963-today) Is the most important person of them all. AND That suddenly means all the "weird" scenes between the 9th/10th and his birth mother suddenly makes so much sense. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpSaiqSglrh-Z5Y Yes.. even that makes sense. The sourpuss boy dont like being kissed by his mommy. even the bedroom scense from "Rose" episode makes sense... AND yes there is so much more but that you can deduct by yourself: Ill just add that Rose became the mother of that other hybridchild...

this feels even more depressing seeing this uploaded now

9th 😭 His wartorn self who was full of resentment but just needed to be validated and loved to be more open and conscious again... Rose saved him in that manner.

[@Rob_Shoot]

Christopher Eccleston was absolutely fantastic as the Doctor

Liv? Haha

[@Silver-xj6gb]

best doctor for sure. only if he was here for longer. maybe if the show had started a year earlier or later

[@FreakyTeeth]

"Sometimes you let one go." Yeah. The doctor is experienced enough to understand that he is an addiction to his companions, they mindlessly follow him wherever no matter how dangerous, how pointless, how irrational, they never ask "Are you sure there isn't a better way?" or "What if we go to somewhere else in space-time and create a machine that will solve all the problems then come back to this point in time after we built it so we can save the day with 0 risk of failure or sacrifice?" and why do they never do that? Because that would mean having to be rational, humble and patient, and those virtues are boring. And so in wild hopes of escaping boredom the impressionable, impulsive companions with arrogant mouths tie themselves to the doctor's hip mindlessly like spoilt, senseless children. 9 sending Rose away was him trying to save her from her addiction to him.

Wow I was a year old when this episode came out

[@tommystudiotomdunn4506]

He was good doctor

[@BlueShadesX]

I want that feeling back when i watch doctor who. In my eyes doctor who died with the regeneration of peter capaldi. Jodie was a big joke and Chibnaill needs to be fired. He destroyed doctor who. The shows audience is at a all time low. Before some one starts assuming crap : i LOVED every single doctor until jodie and these useless companions came along with the idea that the doctor isnt a timelord.

[@Jhymnbeau]

While I cannot second that, I do feel that Jodie's Doctor has been lacking thus far. I blame the direction, yes, but the writing has simply not been up to par. Changes definitely need to be made, including showing everyone how 'woke' the series has suddenly become.

[@mrjekyllandhyde9941]

me too I've had love for every doctor on various levels up until jodie Chris Chibnall is not a showrunner he's an assassin

[@kennethnystrom593]

Edrani. I could explain how and why/what etc is really going during JW run. (CC needs to be fired I agree but the story he tries to tell is actully quite good; once you realise whats really goin on. but the way he does the show is horrible)

[@elenawoodruff7759]

James Gambrell i feel like Jodie could be a fantastic doctor but the writing just sucks ya know ? Course the first season is always the hardest maybe it will be better!

[@Jhymnbeau]

Elena js I wholeheartedly agree. Jodie is a splendid actor but she’s only one of the major elements that needs to be strong so as to make the show not just viewable but something worth looking forward to. However, I had some doubts about Capaldi’s portrayal even up to the end of his first year. The rest of his tenure more than made up for that, though, and actually made the first year a pleasure to rewatch. I’m crossing my fingers that it works out the same way for our Thirteenth Doctor. I guess we’ll see.

[@Micr0.]

Gah nostalgic overload!!!

[@twinpeaksreference3981]

Still the best series finale

[@godiloveminininjas4278]

Do people really skip this doctor? Why? He was amazing

[@AllThingsAlex]

Nothing in the new series gets remotely as close to how good this was. The music, the actors and characters you actually cared for. R.I.P DW. #BringBackRussell

[@kdmedia1534]

Seriously, RTD and Moffatt need to come back to save this show before it gets cancelled, hell, most Big Finish writers could do it. Chibnall has no clue what he’s doing.

[@kennethnystrom593]

Nah license out the show to either Netflix(preferbly) or Disney + and make the new showrunner David Tennant. (whatever DT then chooses to do would turn out great,) (yes i know hes an actor, but the show needs him at the helm and give him free reigns: normally an actor should not do this but in this case.... )

[@kdmedia1534]

Kenneth Nyström What are you on? Netflix and Disney would ruin the show even more than it already is. Just look at what happened when it was taken over by Americans. And David Tennant as showrunner? No 😂 He’s not a writer, he’s an amazing actor, and a die hard doctor who fan, but I don’t think he’d be up to it or want to do it. I don’t understand why you think any of that’d be a good idea.

[@kdmedia1534]

Kenneth Nyström And have you heard any Big Finish? They have written some of the best Doctor Who stories of all time, and they’re *consistent,* much more than the show imo. They would be the best choice.

[@mrjekyllandhyde9941]

*CANCEL THE BBC LICENCE FEE*

[@kennethnystrom593]

@@kdmedia1534 I wont argue with you there BF have made some good stuff, (especially with the 6th and 8th) but having DW go full BF would be a huge misstake. (unless they (BF) scrap everything previously done by them and say everything of that is NON cannon) And begin on a fresh clean slate, and have DW on some obscure backwater service like BF when it comes to the "live" version would just be a joke. Nah, only way for DW to be a succesful (truly money bringing) franchise is to have it on either Netflix, Disney or HBO. With atleast 22 shows per year, Like TNG-Voyager did it. 10 shows per 2 years.... some of that being two parters....That is just bad by itself. and it is obvious JW have 3 more series before her arc of becoming Virgin Mary is completed. = 2025. (2021,2023,2025) (and as that completes the story arc of going thru ALL of the "Dark times" for the new rulers over time (the classic Whoniverse mankind and the fall of "our" Earth; inside the new Whoniverse) that "began" in the serial Battlefield all those years ago. That would be a perfect time for BBC to let someoneelse handle the show from that point on. (and "live" on the royalty from that) And let them (the new network) tell the story how our "former" Doctor lives thru mankinds history ("with old familiar faces") without the "ascended" (read: so called dead) TARDIS until 5145AD when classic Earth falls to the Weeping Angels puppets they been manipulating to do so to try prevent our mankind from becoming the new rulers over time) = yes = the new show could tell the story about the Timewar between our (read classic;) mankind and the former rulers over time as they try to stop us and our eternal President from reaching Trenzalore in the newly built RIVERS where mankind with the "Docs" DNA spread thruout our mankind = That would be a show worth watching. and thus complete the long way home. as Trenzalore IS a terraformed Gallifrey (by the Masters hand and Rassilons ascention device (read: new "key to time")
