The Doctor just now withnessed something, that should be impossible (aside from a seemingly destroyied Tardis to reappear, well a 2nd impossible thing that day) - a fuse of human brain with that of a Time Lord.

This is why RTDs Doctor Who was my favourite. Such tight writing that even a severed hand becomes a key player. There are stakes, people can win and lose things. That doesn't happen so much with the newer ones, really looking forward to his return. The scene on the beach with Human Doctor was fantastic. He could give Rose something that the Doctor never could, and the acting was brilliant too. The stories didn't preach or hold our hands, they were complicated and subtle. The Doctor didn't tell Rose he loved her, nor did he say the human Doctor could be a better partner than him, but it was there on the screen.

They're even harsher with "Time Crash". They smite that on sight, even if it's edited. Most other stuff they claim but leave visible, which is totally fine, because here in Canada, in order for these videos to be fair dealing, I can't make money off them, which is why my channel isn't even monetised. So they're welcome to claim whatever they like and collect all ad revenue. But since it's fair dealing, they don't have a right to block the videos. Though all this stuff is done by computer and content creators get no say in the matter. Still, they're better than Universal Studios, who smite everything with maximum force. They gave me a strike for my Incredible Hulk video. Not even a warning. Straight to strike.

[@p_to]

That Rose/Doctor scene at the end always gets me because there is so much implied tragedy to that scene mixed with hope and a lot of it is unsaid but the acting, directing and music make it visible to the viewer in such an amazing way. 1. Rose realizes this isn't exactly the man she fell in love with. He has all thr potential and memories to become him and he very likely will, but it isn't exactly him. And so she immediately runs to him and kisses him grateful to have him offer to grow old with him, its all she ever wanted BUT she also realizes the man she trully loves just left never to return. 2. The doctor watches her kiss the meta him, smiling, happy to know shell have him and hell have her but is also filled with this devastating loneliness knowing hell never be able to be with this person he trully and deeply loved. Its kind of like watching the love of your life kiss a family member or best friend you deeply care for. Watching two people you love who in an instant are total strangers and so far removed from you. 3. And though shes in thr background you can see Donnas pain in seeing her friend go through this and she wants to be there for him and knows more than others how he feels due to that meta connection but also knoes there's not much she can do Super poignant stuff

Best doctor who for sure

[@lewismassie]

8:08 I remember watching this one, the episode ends right after he starts regenerating

[@KenLantern]

The hand wrist got long then short again

[@michaelversace456]

The hand scene at the beginning with Jack, was just terrible. Barrowman as awesome as you are you aren't the best actor but my god you are a charming Scot.

At 16:03 someone is still cutting onions.... after all those years....

[@kobyramsey8657]

i hope we'll see the "Donna" Doctor again/hear about him in the tv show.

[@astersworld6169]

Isn't it kinda funny that we kinda have the scharack to thank in part for saving the universe, cause if he hadn't chopped the doctors hand, we would've been doomed

Honestly always feel bad for Micky.

[@Silverwind87]

imo, the first season of Torchwood is necessary viewing whenever you're doing a doctor who marathon. watch it before you watch Utopia.

[@PenneySounds]

If you look in the description of my minisode playlist, I've got a watch order list with every episode, minisode, and spinoff of new Who

[@elimortley2782]

That isn't continuity being on point, that's just telling a story, it seems like that was always the plan from the beginning

[@PenneySounds]

The show was not planned out that far in advance

[@kylecassidy3978]

I forgot how much that hand cropped up

[@Sef_Era]

I wonder is younger Rose is going to be in the new season.

[@ArchieJimjr]

and Jack still has he’s hand. I saw it on Torchwood

[@PenneySounds]

The jar is still there in season 2, but I don't think there's a hand in it

[@ArchieJimjr]

@@PenneySounds hmmm 🤔. It’s a possibility. Although I do remember seeing it in it every time. I actually just finished watching all the seasons again 2 months ago

[@PenneySounds]

I just skimmed the episodes, and it never gets a close shot that I could find where you can see what's in it, except the New Year 2000 flashback in "Fragments" where there appears to be something like a brain in it.

[@coffeecatrailway]

Now I want Handy, 10 & 14 to meet...

[@lostfiresanimations6541]

HOLD ON. There is a head in a jar next to Capt. Jack's hand! Looks similar to the Face of Boe! (At 1:11 ) Could mean a lot of possible theories!!! Damn I never noticed this. - 1. Could the Face of Boe be a fake alias? That Jack isn't the face of Boe but rather has close connections to them? - 2. Could the head here be from the future? Like an earlier version of the Face of Boe that Jack asks for information on how events transpire? Since The Face of Boe had already lived through it? Maybe the rift allows the paradox to happen? I am unsure if the head here could be something from the extended lore or old Who so I apologise for posting this if that is the case.

[@PenneySounds]

Eugene refers to the other jar as "The head of Vexor 11". No idea what that is or why Eugene knows about it.

[@lostfiresanimations6541]

@@PenneySounds I had noticed, on first viewing I assumed that was a reference to another show/ film. It could be within their universe, we had seen in season one episode one that as the ninth Doctor read the magazine at Rose's home he said "Oh that won't last, she's human and he's an alien." So they have breached a lot of sectors within their world society wise and are just, mingling and exploring human life. Could be a thing we see here. Somehow the alien got cast for the show with the people that made the show thinking it was some 'fancy mask' like we saw in episode one of Torchwood with Gwen's first alien.

[@atreestump]

Idk if it's been said yet... Sorry if it has. Seasons and episode numbers would be amazing 🤩

[@ProfessorHeavy1]

If Chekhov truly had a gun, this is the hand he pulled the trigger with.

[@christopherg2347]

Remember that he won a swordfight with a tangerine. Saving the earth from a invasion and saving christmas while doing so.

[@theduckscp]

Donna was too OP they had to find a way to ditch her.

[@mythikbeast6404]

I just realised the container that Jack put the hand in is similar to the one we see the Face of Boe in, Prop Design coincidence or Intentional character connection?

[@reaper253]

if metacrisis 10 didn't get the regeneration part of his timelord dna in the metacrisis... does that mean Donna did? ...ohhhhh i need to start writing

[@RoseTheVideomancer]

So uh... have you seen the 60th? Cuz I wanna know your thoughts on the Star Beast now :)

[@PenneySounds]

Regeneration is from the Timeless Child's DNA and was infused into the Time Lords by Tecteun, and into River Song by Madame Kovarian. Tecteun placed the limit of 12 on it artificially.

[@reaper253]

@@RoseTheVideomancer haven't watched it but I got spoilered the general plot, it looks real neat but I still think my idea was awesome (lol 💀)

Get found out inside that minute what type of man he was and it wast lucky it Vengeful.
