Kate Lethbridge-Stewart's UNIT: Highlights | Doctor Who

[@Reginald425]

3:32 “Patience is for wimps” is a pretty insulting thing for the Doctor to say to the guy who spent 2,000 years waiting for him.

[@CaratsRitzy]

Power of Three was written by Chris Chibnall. I remenber liking the concept of the episode, but the ending was a serious letdown.

[@fc43]

And the woman who spent 12 years waiting for him when he promised he'd be gone for five minutes, let's not leave Amy out of this.

Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, depending on how you count it, has matched or possibly surpassed her father's astonishing statistic of having met five, six, possibly more different incarnations of the Doctor.

7 actually. War, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Plus I believe one of the classic doctors knew her as a school girl in one of the spin-off media stories

I seriously love Kate's entire story arc. She's one of my favorite reoccurring characters in this show. That conversation she had with her doppelganger in the 50th anniversary was a highlight of the episode for me. She was willing the blow up the city to potentially save the planet and she was dead serious. It was such a powerful moment. I was worried how Chibnall would handle her, but I stopped worrying during that conversation she had with The Grand Serpent. She showed how much of a badass she still was standing up to him in that scene. Her father would be proud.

People forget it was Chibnall who brought her into new who. It wasn't like the intro to Captain Jack where RTD and Moffat worked together on introducing him, it was all Chibnall introducing Kate. Moffat just brought her back because she was popular and he needed someone to be in charge of UNIT.

[@Acknowledgerofdoctorwho]

technically no since she was introduced in 1995 but then again that probably isn't canon so.@@adamstewart9052

[@stephenmurphy2212]

I think they introduced the character of Kate Stewart (the Brigs daughter) to make up for the fact that they were never able to have Nicholas Courtney return to the role of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart in New Who (even though he returned in SJA in 2008). The actor was unwell during the final years of his life before he died.

[@JB-vq6xv]

One of the best characters of revived doctor who. I don’t think much of her at first but DOTD and every subsequent appearance proved she was a force to be reckoned with and she is absolutely a worthy character and successor to the brigadier. We love you Kate, and Jemma too obviously

[@SimonAckerman]

She’s such a great actress.

[@stephenmurphy2212]

I’m really glad Chibnall and RTD chose to inherit the character of Kate Stewart from Moffat. Gives UNIT the perfect continuity. Kate Stewart actually made her first appearance in the direct-to-video spin-off, _Downtime_ from 1995 (but played by a different actress). Edit: Even if Chibnall introduced the character of Kate Lethbridge Stewart she’s still a Moffat era character by origin since she made her debut in Doctor Who during that era of the show. The same way Jack Harkness is an RTD1 era character even though Moffat penned his first episode (The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances). Edit: Tell you what since she technically first appeared in Downtime in 1995, let’s call her a “wilderness era” character. Ok? 😂

[@adamstewart9052]

Chibnall wrote the episode she first appeared in, _The Power of Three._

[@joshuaa_77]

Chibnall didn't inherit her from Moffat, he wrote her first TV episode in Series 7

[@friendlyotaku9525]

Actually it was Chibnall that created this version of the character! Originally she was intended to be entirely original but it was pointed out that Kate Stewart existed in the EU and first appeared in Downtime which Chibnall wasn't aware of but once this was pointed out she was made to be the same character.

[@PeasMinister]

3:44 matt Smith actually did paint this entire fence

[@Cinncinnatus]

If you watch this again a few times you might notice something that no-one really mentions. even the doctor ignored or did not notice it. The 'Painting' is 3D. Watch it as the camera pans like if you were walking passed it. The left edge does not stop it keeps moving around the frame edge. Reminds me of an effect that is done in the movie Lucy when Morgan Freeman is holding the 'super computer' and if you look closely does the same thing in that case you can see a universe starfield inside it. Kind of non-Euclidean space effect.

[@steve-0493]

I love Kate Lethbridge Stewart!! It will be great if she can say the one great line that her father said between 3 and 4. "Well,here we go again" That would be Awesome-tacular 😜✌️🥃🤙

[@Gemma-Majoran]

hope rtd gives a onscreen explanation for where osgood went one day

[@StillStanding-k2h]

Chibnall already gave one. She was working in other countries helping keep the peace between Zygon’s and Humans as well as helping the ones who were exposed who didn’t want any trouble integrate back in to the life they were living before the war began. She was also grieving for the loss of her twin/doppelgänger, and currently has the Osgood box again because the Doctor had wiped everyone’s memories again apart from Clara’s and Osgood’s! If you remember it was revealed that the whole thing had actually happened multiple times over the years but they never remembered, them two episodes were the first time we actually seen the same thing play out that the Doctor had dealt with countless times since TDOTD. The actress in real life was already working on other projects when she was asked if she could return? She wanted to but didn’t have any spare time not even for a cameo.

Although, I don't doubt that there are moments where Osgood already has had two inhaler prompts, and Kate literally has to just snap in front of her face or give a mint to help her throat work correctly again. It's not always the lungs causing the attacks.

@@anon5263Nope. Your premise is flawed in general, and even more so in this specific instance. It’s well-known that it was an actor issue. They hadn’t gotten round to actually making the last scenes before Steven Berkoff resigned from the role, so had no choice but to wrangle a new ending without him on the studio floor in the last day of work on the story. But don’t let actual facts get in the way of your deranged nonsensical ramblings, eh‽
