The pain on their faces when they were listening to the music was fantastic. You could feel it.

[@scarigamez]

That moment where the Doctor says, "I thought it was non-diagetic" heavily implies he's always been able to hear the soundtrack, and I love that. Another moment to help imply that he's aware that he's in a show.

What you don’t have your own sound track in your head to pump you up. But I think the joke might be that the Mysteo is reading his mind and playing his internal music out loud

In case you didn’t already look it up for yourself, the actor playing Maestro is known as Jinkx Monsoon. She’s a beloved and pretty well known drag queen as she won the title “Queen of All Queens” on RuPaul’s Drag Race a few years ago (you should check out her Snatch Game competition she’s freaking hilarious). She’s also now a Broadway star in addition to being a transgender icon for many, myself included. Jinkx being in Doctor Who in a role like this is just perfect and a dream come true for her I’d bet. I really hope this isn’t the last we’ve seen of the Maestro.

It was over the top and amazing! The dance number at the end was a fun surprise. For me this was one of the best episodes I’ve seen in a very long time.

I didn’t know who they were but it was a great performance I agree and it really works for that character.

With the Disney budget could they not have got the rights to just one Beatles song because that would have been perfect.

To the question 'How can the characters stay unaffected while timelines change?' : the series writers decided that being in the Tardis/travelling with the Dr puts you in a state of "Temporal Grace"

The double bill was smart. Routine expositionary episode followed by the "pantheon of gods" reinvention that RTD promised.

[@MLaak86]

Yeah it did get the “getting to know The Doctor and his new companion” stuff out of the way before dropping a super heavy high stakes episode on us

[@Tao_Tology]

It is also similar to the Sylvester McCoy era and stories: elder gods, hell dimensions, the physical embodiment of Death (her favorite color is green, btw). Real cosmic-level stakes.

[@Seir]

Nietzsche once said, " A life without music is not worth living." I've always taken that to heart.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

It feels so fresh and brand new, but at the same time, RTD really made it feel like I’m back watching the Eccleston/Tennant episodes. It’s such a great mixture of feelings.

[@sallyatticum]

I sculpted them a little duck with a crown, (water off a ducks back IYKYK) and I said I was sorry it wasn't better as I didn't have much time to make it and they looked me in the eye, grabbed my hands and said "Never apologize for your art!", then gave me a big hug! Jinkx is just an amazing person! I really hope we see the Maestro again. And what is with Susan Twist coming back, now for the 3rd time. She was the tea lady in the cafeteria. I wonder if she's THE Susan or the big bad?!?!

Meastro is absolutely terrifying for being so fabulous. I also think Ruby isnt related to the Doctor but instead related to the toymaker maybe the youngest kid or a child of one of his kids.

I dunno about fabulous. All the excess make up makes her look more like a Clown. than anything.

[@The-Busy-Beeeee]

Yea she definitely reflects maestros outfit as well liek a more fluid version of them just more human

[@donrikk8546]

Maestro mentioned the old one which isn’t a reference to Susan or any of that, it seems like ruby might be connected with a potential leader of the pantheon. The old one would insinuate he’s the oldest of everything so I think ruby is the child of a deity related to the pantheon which is why maestro seemed so spooked 24:53

[@anthonyschroeder8776]

Could be both. The old one stole susans baby and brought her to the past to mess with the doctor

[@stephencoppins9467]

Susan (played by actress Carole Ann Ford) first appeared in the story An Unearthly Child (1963). The first episode was set in 1963. Susan’s last regular appearance aired in 1964, but was set in post-2164. Susan (again played by Carole Ann Ford) did make an appearance in the show’s 20th anniversary special in 1983.

So they are definitely setting up the Doctor to be one of the pantheon Gods from beyond the universe. , timeless child shows that galifrey found the doctor and the Time lOrds were based on what the Doctor already was , they've drawn parallels with how the Time lords Named themselves and how the pantheon is .

Since you guys did the double bill, I don’t know if you’re aware but there’s an actor who’s already popped up more than once very subtly if you’re not watching them, but it’s good to keep an eye on those type of characters since in RTD fashion they have a huge impact in the grand scheme.

[@ChadBlevins]

This episode is absolutely FANTASTIC !!

[@mixofreak]

I really liked the callback to the Saxon theme and the Master's first return to Doctor Who in the new era via only being able to go between two time periods due to the Maestro's interferance, an inversion of what The Doctor did to the Master. The moment I heard those keys I had to pause and go back to make sure I wasn't mistaken in what I heard.

[@The-Busy-Beeeee]

Wait when in the episode was that heard?

[@mixofreak]

@@The-Busy-Beeeee right when the Maestro plays the piano in the future and the Tardis starts responding to their music. When I turned on captions on Disney+, it even specifically said "[Playing Saxon theme off-key]". Four rapid notes, then a change in pitch and four more. At first I had thought it was an allusion, but it is directly called out for the motif that it is.

19:42 The Doctor did do something at the beginning of the last episode after he stepped on a butterfly. He initiated something like a Butterfly Effect Protocol or something.

The year the episode Susan left in was _released_ in 1964. However, in-universe, the time the Doctor left her in was at least 2164. The Doctor finds a calendar with that date, but as he says the room hasn't been used in years, it's likely much later than that.

[@chrisleneil]

I’m an Olde Schoole Fan, & I bloody loved it! Though I also tend to be absurdly fond of anything that expands/shakes up the canon. (While at the same time being thrilled that they brought up Susan!*) Plus the Toymaker’s Pantheon is brilliant. Reminds me of an absurdist/creativity-based version of The Endless from The Sandman. And Ncuti is definitely playing the Doctor as a genuine soul: human, Time Lord, or a foundling from another universe - just a person who meets you at a relatable emotional place. And the ‘twist’ at the end makes me happy on multiple levels! [*Susan, in the television canon, was dropped off in 2167 without having a Tardis of her own. Now she did have adventures in other media… and in ‘Dimensions in Time’, though many take that episode to be a cheese-induced nightmare of the Doctor. (Not me - I was just thrilled to get to see the Seventh Doctor again!) But there is no reason why someone close to the Doctor (say Leela or Romana) couldn’t have dropped her off a Tardis of her own or rescued her after David’s death.] Great reaction, guys 💜💜➕🟦

[@lukephillips2241]

I love the fourth wall breaks, and the meta jokes, in this episode. Also I think the general theory is that Ruby is Susan's daughter, but I think she might be somehow related to the pantheons.

[@jackhinze9347]

I absolutely LOVED this episode. Jinx as the Maestro(Iconic!), the dynamic between Ruby and the Doctor. It was great. But I feel like this episode would've benifitted better as a Mid season episode. It gave off that energy to me.

[@francisco_m7849]

😊❤ OK I gotta make this statement. So I went on KZbin to find a varied array of other reviews for these episodes just to see what everyone else is kinda feeling about the show and I am surprised at how many negative reactions there are to it. I am enjoying the positive vibe that Ncuti is giving for the doctor and what Russell T Davies is wanting to do with this particular series. I know we’re used to the doctor being doom and gloom and and always trying to save the universe cause it’s so dark but I find this very refreshing that wanting to bring happiness back to the universe and to have a good time. I have had plenty of other incarnations that were either really Science Fiction based or really tech and a lot of drama. But I’ve never West, that it would be the same doctor doing the same things every single time that’s boring. I like variety I like every doctor being different and approaching it which is why I am enjoying this new and I really wish people can see that.

If you would like to see a small but great example of Jinkz Monsoon's talent, you should check out Season 7 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, episode 2 called Snatch Game. It is hilarious!!

[@davidcox8582]

It's always so much fun to see new people being introduced to Jinkx Monsoon. I hope Doctor Who launches them into the lives of a whole new army of fans. 😁👍

Longtime fans are probably posting that Susan appeared in “The Five Doctors” anniversary special back in ‘83. William Hartnell had died years before but she’s paired with the actor they cast as the First Doctor for the occasion and interacts with other companions and stuff. It’s fun! Susan’s been casually name dropped many times over the years and it always fuels speculation that they’re going to bring her back. When Capaldi’s a college professor you see a picture of River and a picture of Susan on his desk but if you didn’t know who she was it probably went by. For what it’s worth, Carole Ann Ford who played Susan back in ‘63-64 has said that she’d be down for coming back. Stephen Moffat directly addressed the possibility in an interview during his time running the show saying you’d have to come up with a truly awesome story to bring her back with, the implication being that he never did. As much fun as “Power of the Doctor” was and as nice as it was to see Tegan and Ace back, it didn’t necessarily feel ‘earned’ as the saying goes, so I see Moff’s point. 🤔

The 80th anniversary would feel more defined like Donna can come back once more but it's a surprise on top of Billie Piper's eager to come back because it'll be a live action adaptation of the audios. So we get Donna and Rose like "Donna" "Rose?" "It's great to see you". I think that's the type of crossover moffat thinks if we don't see her this season.

Mrs Flood is River Song. River Song and The Doctor have a baby together, River Song leaves there baby at the Church on Ruby Road, Ruby is the mother of Susan Foreman, actress Susan Swift who keeps popping up as different characters but later on in the Series she becomes Susan Triad. When you look at the name likes this "S Triad" that is an anagram of TARDIS. The person is in fact going to be Susan Foreman.

[@baddealdude807]

I liked space babies well enough but THIS was my shit

[@ambrosialyra1365]

I have been waiting for this one with bated breath from the moment I saw the promos with Jinx Monsoon. They are one of my favorite performers, and was just perfect for this role. Jinx is a powerhouse. I hope they have them back in the future. Awesome episode❤

[@darrenhopgood9348]

Maybe his running away and feeling scared is because he has resolved his trauma and he actually wants to live now, he is happy and not just surface-level happy. Just a thought

[@francisco_m7849]

😊❤ Greg I don’t know if you and John have picked up on this but ever since the Christmas special church on Ruby Road there’s been this recurring theme of certain characters breaking the fourth wall and looking right at us and I don’t know if that’s on purpose or just a thing. But at the same time, it is Russell T Davies, and with him nothing is by coincidence everything is by design with him.

[@SundayMorning91]

One thing I thought of is if Maestro comes from outside the Doctor Who universe then breaking the 4th wall could actually be in character. The rest idk. Though I do have an idea that if true could be a big spoiler.

[@katpiercemusic]

Most relationships in Doctor Who involve a power imbalance. The Doctor and the companion are not ever equals. Ten and Donna were pretty equal, at least from Donna’s perspective so there was much more balance there. This has that as well and I love it. The non diagetic comment is perhaps my favorite music reference in any tv show or movie ever. That comment lives rent free in my head forever now. As a musician myself, I appreciate that it is specific and accurate, and I love 4th wall breaking through music anyway. Like how Jinx starts the opening theme on the piano and it ends up in the jukebox.

[@Sushinelucile]

Funny you guys mentioned Ursula vibe for Jinkx, she has been the #1 fan casting for a long time!

[@SNIPERjeffO_O]

The whole vibration battle situation was f*cking cool

[@bigjsquare1988]

There's a picture of Susan The Doctor's grandaughter at the beginning of the episode where Bill is introduced. There have been small mentions here and there.

[@Kowanpoop]

One of the best episodes of Doctor Who ever. The stunning cinematography(the lighting!), the performances, music and that character! Really just amazing. I hope whoever shot this episode shoots all of the episodes.

[@ParsureArts]

I love how campy this episode is!! And what a cool voice Maestro has-

[@francisco_m7849]

😊❤ going all the way back to the beginning of the episode when the piano teacher asked who they were and maestro said them we are them and the piano teacher was confused and didn’t understand what they were talking about. Made perfect sense because it was 1925 and had no idea what they were talking about and I did not feel like they were trying to offend anybody with it. It just made sense.

[@amirrhodesve791]

bro why do you comment like 50 comments a video?

[@ArthurCrane92]

Thank you, John. I knew I wasn't the only one who thought Gorillaz every time they said "the lost chord".

[@lilachodan4941]

This episode was so chaotic. This Maestro character was so unhinged and crazy.

[@charleyds]

Susan was left in 2164. She was an adult, so it was time to set out on her own, I guess.

[@adeviantproduction]

I am so glad they dropped two episodes. I really didn't like Space Babies at all, but this episode was good fun. I'm a sucker for a moustache twirling villain. I could have done without the twist, and I'm not sure how I feel about the fourth wall breaks, but at least this was a fun episode. I also think it handled the overall story arc a lot better, too. We learned all of the same stuff about Ruby's importance and uniqueness, some direct Big Bad foreshadowing, and the callbacks to Ruby Road. Really just made Space Babies even less significant. I honestly would have just gone full Zaslav and Batgirl'd that first episode.

[@francisco_m7849]

😊❤ 13:35. I thought I recognized the melody that Ruby is playing. Greg, when a Milli told you in the interview that Rubys theme she liked for her as the companion that’s the song she’s playing right now in this scene that’s Ruby’s song.

[@theonlyteddybare]

I love that, in this, Jinkx is a full-blown SAILOR MOON VILLAIN!!!

[@ZakhadWOW]

oooo that is a good tie-in! Especially the first outfit!

[@RD-uq4hg]

Definitely preferred this to the first episode, and I like they're continuing the toymaker supernatural storyline, I hope we see the toymaker again and I hope maestro isn't the last of these supernatural beings we see before moving on to the one who waits

[@LauraGS564]

I mean a whole pantheon has been teased, so

[@wisewillowgames]

I thought it was implied the toymaker had many children

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

Personally, I would prefer they stick with Sci fi, cuz that was clearly his strong suit and made sense. This dive into more fantastical stuff has way too many logical problems, plot holes, and poorly explained (or completely unexplained) mechanics.

[@lilachodan4941]

I lovd the scene when they change their oufits and are so exicted to go there and see the beatles.

[@j-train13]

By the way so you guys mentioned it would be neat throwing the actual composer for the show in there, and they actually did. The composer, Murray Gold, was the one playing the piano during the musical number at the end, and he's credited as playing himself

[@GibbySoapBox]

Susan was dropped off in the year 2164 after their second encounter with the Daleks with a human named David Campbell and hasnt been seen since

[@thenerdywave2007]

Great Reaction Greg and John! 👍

[@RayTheomo]

I really liked this episode. But it feels like there's soo much hate just because of the culture war haters that this episode is getting dogged on for no good reason.

[@papirooster6236]

I rewatched the toy maker episode after this, and I'm fully convinced the toy makers "spice world" moment was foreshadowing his child being the next to shown up

[@samhunter8215]

Fun fact the show composer Murray gold is actually in the musical number scene at the ends playing the piano. Doctor Who Legend

[@TheTonytiger89]

I have serious questions about the mental faculties of anyone who could stomach this episode.

[@jpwphoenix1701]

It’s funny you said about the show’s composer breaking the fourth wall. He was actually in the episode. During the musical number at the end, he’s the bald guy playing the piano. He’s also played a musician during a similar musical number in the Tenth Doctor story, “Voyage of the Damned”.

[@grump9001]

@23:19 the moment Maestro destroys the Doctor's sonic

[@ZakhadWOW]

more like neautarlized it, not destroyed.... Feedback signal sonically.
