IT'S BACK!! THE STAR BEAST Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Special Reaction

[@DanGamingFan2406]

I LOVE the fact that UNIT is taking care of Wilf... he deserves to rest in his old age... RIP Bernard Cribbins

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Me too 🥹😭🙏🏻

[@kevinschultz5678]

Oh, and can I add, David's performance of "Why did it have to be this?!?!" absolutely destroys me every time I hear it. Wow.

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Oh my gosh YES 😭 AHH!! So good, so heartbreaking

[@mpg272727]

I really like how although 14 has the same face as 10 he's clearly still aged and matured mentally thanks to, you know, having had more than a thousand years of experiences since he was 10. Also the fact that the Doctor is now at long last able to admit and say that he loved people when he clearly had so many issues trying to do so in the past is just adorable

[@fayesouthall6604]

The memories came back to Donna all the time. Through her daughter. The way she followed him, took the sonic when he was doing the bullet proof glass. Letting it go, River Song did too.

[@LondonCelt]

Your reaction to the intro was everything. As soon as the theme kicked in on Saturday night I grabbed the remote and turned the volume right up! Murray Gold is masterful, so pleased that he like many others are back!

[@thestarsthemselves.]

He is so great! Thanks for watching! ☺️

[@TrainerNomed]

the stars themselves before the episode: "I'm going to try and tone down my reaction a little bit..." How we all reacted during the episode: 29:42

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Honestly 😂😂 So much for that

[@paulflint6254]

When Beep changed my jaw hit the floor. Love this episode and am looking forward to seeing the next ones.

[@paulbrecken2136]

Just found your channel. I'm so happy you loved this episode ❤

[@kevinschultz5678]

Well, I was about to go to bed, but... Such a delight so see how much joy this brought you. It wasn't without its flaws, but what a ride! 🎉 And I completely agree with you about Murray Gold. I was almost more excited when it was announced he was back than when it was announced RTD was back. Since you were 15... You say that like it was so long ago! 😁

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Oh yes, me too about Murray Gold 😂 So good. Thanks for watching! Also, maybe not long for you 😅 But I was 15 almost 10 years ago

[@kevinschultz5678]

Kid, I was 15 when Sylvester McCoy was the Doctor. 😊

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Not a competition 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@lykan2]

LOVE the new Interior, i think it's my favourite right after 9/10 "Coral" Console Room, this feels like a clean version of it in a way. And I wonder where all these Doors lead to.

[@dh9892x]

Okay so mine and a few other whovians theories about the whole “let it go” thing is; A joke about how previous male presenting time lords have always struggled to let go of the doctor BUT Jodie’s doctor welcomes it with open arms. Another one is that its been a known fact since classic who that Female presenting time lords are more powerful and have more control. As shown by The Rani when she tells the doctor he’s stuck with his regeneration but she can change her appearance if she wants and when Romana I regenerated into Romana II she took the face of Princess Astra willingly because she wanted to. Also shown by River in Let’s Kill Hitler when she tells Rory to be quiet while she focuses on a dress size! I like both and think both apply but people are torn between

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Yeah very interesting. River also "let go" of her regeneration energy to save the Doctor in Let's Kill Hitler and was able to be shot multiple times and be fine (she was in the middle of her regeneration cycle but still). Though even that idea that she could "let go" of the ability to regenerate doesn't seem exclusive to her since the Doctor gave her some regeneration energy to heal her hand in Angels Take Manhattan. Also, I actually didn't mind the whole concept of Donna and Rose letting it go. Lots of people on the internet have gotten quite heated about it 😅 But I didn't mind that, I just wasn't a fan of the whole "male-presenting time lord" thing. I mean he was just a woman and he still has that experience in him. Plus it just felt like an unnecessary jab at men when it wasn't really relevant or important to the storyline imo. But yeah, didn't ruin the episode for me at all. I still thought it was amazing and I'm so excited for the coming episodes and seasons!

[@DanielRed2]

Thanks for such a natural, honest reaction video! Btw the way you guys across the Atlantic pronounce 'Bernard' will always be everything. Cheers! 😸

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Thank you! Haha! That’s so funny, I’ve never heard that before 😅

[@suzannepage3549]

This is the most colourful intro it's my favourite looking intro it's got a typical Dr who sound to it. I like all the episode. I read they will show Wilf in it in a next episode he managed to get half of his acting role done alive. I love Donna's mishap in the TARDIS I can't wait for the next episode.

[@killianyinstitut]

If his first TARDIS wasn't thrilled about tea why put a coffee pot in his new and improved TARDIS? Especially knowing that the bull in a china shop Donna would be on it. ❤

[@rivermistfae]

14:13 I'm convinced Nerys will be the BBEG 😅😂

[@MaestroJax]

I love how I refresh a page, your reaction pops up first thing in not only a minute from you uploading this! Excited to watch!

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Haha! Wonderful! Thanks for being here ☺ It hasn't even processed to HD yet 😅

[@MaestroJax]

@@thestarsthemselves. HD or not, pretty awesome video! You've earned a sub, see you for the next 2! (I assume lol)

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Thank you!! ☺️ I had a great time watching it. And I am reacting to the next two!!

[@SupaKen74]

Im sure someone answered this already but in an interview with David, he said he didnt know who the boss is, so its not in his shows- which means STORY ARC! God i missed those 😂

[@rivermistfae]

19:02 I am still shooketh 😱😱🤣😅 and now I want a Meep plushie so bad haha

[@carolineskipper6976]

To sum it up in two (three?) words - "IT'S BACK!!!!" In every way, it's back. Thanks for letting us watch your reaction.

[@iCastiels]

first time watching your channel, but even during your intro, I knew it was going to be an amazing reaction video! the way you reacted to the whole episode was very wholesome and I love your energy. It felt like watching the anniversary with someone who loves the show as much as I do, and it's super appreciated (specially with all the woke stuff comments) so thank you so much!

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Thank you!! 💜💜 That’s so fun 🥹

[@AgnesPerditaX]

Exactly! It gives me so much "secondhand" (yet first-class) happiness! :o) Thank you so much! 💙

[@thestarsthemselves.]

@@AgnesPerditaX Haha! Thank you 🥰 That’s wonderful 💜

[@davidworkman2329]

Watching her is adorable. That's how I felt my whole life about Doctor Who it was my show and a lot of my friends never watched it but that was okay. It was my show. LOL I love her reactions on certain scenes so perfect. 👍👍👍😊

[@alexandertheprotogen6180]

I enjoy that you watch it as if you’re watching it regularly I wish more people did makes it feel more genuine

[@user-yy6zs4fu8r]

Also a winter soldier was what the soldiers in the red army was called

[@richardgilbert2897]

Loved your reaction. Looking forward to watching your channel grow. Keep up the awesome work.

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Thank you so much!

[@envoyfrommirrorcity]

It’s so nice to see a fan that has genuine affection for this show, instead of the moan, moan, moan from toxic fandom. Seeing the delight in another fan has made my day.

[@thestarsthemselves.]

I’m so glad 🥰 It is tiresome to see so many people spending so much energy complaining about every little thing they don’t like

[@zemoxian]

I think it was the TARDIS's fault. She pulled that control room from the archives, with the coffee maker, and she sees the past, present, and future. And Timelord technology is a billion years more advanced than human tech. I don't think a cup of coffee should do as much damage as this seemed to. I think she knew coffee would be spilt and that the Doctor was needed elsewhere. I smell a set up!

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Solid theory tbh

[@Mixhael556]

I love love love how you watch and react to media. All the little details, the cross legs, the angles and music. You can really tell how much you care and love the Whoniverse and you watch with such passion and it’s how I love watching tv shows too so you are like my new favourite reactor haha. I love that this episode had a large budget and that opening…. Cinematic 🤌🏼✨

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Aw wow, thank you soo much. You made my night 🥹

[@Mixhael556]

@@thestarsthemselves. you made mine, thank you 🙏🏼

[@TonyMiller423]

I don't blame you or anyone else one bit for watching trailers, but I am reminded of why I stopped a while back.

[@thestarsthemselves.]

I kinda wish I hadn’t watched them but they’re everywhere. It’s very hard to avoid spoilers. I didn’t watch the next time trailer for Wild Blue Yonder though so I don’t really know anything about it and it’s encouraging to know that there was almost no footage from that episode in the original trailers. From here on out I’m gonna try to stay away from spoilers for Ncuti’s era especially. I love to be surprised, it’s just nearly impossible to avoid spoilers without staying away from social media.

[@TonyMiller423]

@@thestarsthemselves. No doubt spoilers on the internet are a minefield. I don't mind seeing the offhand comment or picture, but seeing actual clips play out, out of context is what detracts for me. I guess also just realized that youtube is only social media adjacent thing I tend to look at anymore. Just for lack of interest more than anything.

[@zemoxian]

I didn't know about the Meep or the comics. I realized the twist though once I had the thought that it looked cute like a gremlin. Then I had a thought about the evil gremlins... uh oh!

[@Maxippo]

Wait could the living sun be refering to akhaten or something similar?

[@thestarsthemselves.]

That was my very first thought! And then I thought of the living sun that was being harvested for fuel in “42” with Martha and possessed people (including the Doctor).

[@Look_Over_There]

I’m n the original comic the meep planet came into the orbit of a dark star/black sun. I guess they changed it to a living sun that went mad/psychedelic for more drama and fantasy. I never made the connection with Akhaten that’s a good point! I imagine there must be entities similar in the universe.

[@Maxippo]

@@Look_Over_There oh cool Because I haven't actually read the original Meep comic, maybe I will

[@gameoverman3673]

Anybody else feel like youd gone back in time

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Totally! I was kinda scared that I wouldn’t like it or that it wouldn’t have the same spark or charm that the older episodes had/have for me. But oh my gosh as soon as it started it just pulled me right back into it and made me feel like a little kid again 🥹 Totally revived the wonder and joy that makes me love the show so much

[@gameoverman3673]

@@thestarsthemselves. oh it really did! It was like RTD putting his jacket over you 😊 letting us all know that things are gonna be alright moving forward. And David and Catherine just slipped back into it so x effortlessly.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

I actually think the “It just felt like the sort of thing he would do” line refers to Donna’s father, Jefferey Noble. He’s mentioned in The End of Time part 2, was there in The Runaway Bride, and deleted scenes show Wilf’s storyline was originally meant to be his, before he passed away in real life.

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Oh wow, I didn’t know that about him passing away 🙏🏻

[@kevinschultz5678]

Nice observation, never even thought of that but it definitely fits.

[@kassidyj97]

Even if it didn't... I honestly love that

[@wrdreacts4247]

💙💙 (too half asleep to say something proper, but pretend there's some in-depth discussions about the greatness of this episode, and how much I love Donna and Wilf. Plus a compliment to you as I subscribe to begin this readventure with you)

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Thank you 🥰✨

[@hightri]

Probably the best review/reaction of the first episode on KZbin! Loved it ❤

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@killianyinstitut]

I loved it and watched it at least 10 times. People either love it or hate it because of their transphobia, triggered by pronouns or screaming about so called wokeness .Grow up people! News flash there's an off button on your T.V. , tablet, laptop and desktop computer. You don't have to watch it but you can skip those parts and just enjoy the Doctor/Donna perfection! Simple! Now I think I will watch it again.

[@thestarsthemselves.]

Exactly 😅👏🏻
