To those who might be interested, I am going to be doing a 4x08/4x09 re-reaction probably in my Doctor Who month upcoming a little later this year. (For any who don't know, after I am all caught up with the current series, I will be taking a break and then later this year I will be reacting to any Doctor Who content I have not seen/avoided, like fan videos, behind the scenes, minisodes, bloopers, and past episodes). Alrighty, let's get back on the ride. Enjoy the reaction, everyone!

Oh yeah. Season 11 isn't terrible. It is mediocre... painfully normal and uninspired. There never was a moment she felt like The Doctor. It's not a gender thing. Michelle Gomez could of nailed it, if she already wasn't Missy. It had some good episodes. I appreciated the more historical episodes. I liked what they tried to do and it was ok, but Doctor Who deserves so much more then mediocre. They obviously lost the best writers and were left with the calibre of writers for a show like Class--good enough for a second tier show set in the same universe. That is just my opinion. My girls lost interest and never finished, and I regret buying it on Amazon.

But from her perspective, those are minute details that come and go in the blink of an eye for a being like The Doctor.

How many times did he NOT show up when she could've used him because he was keeping the universe together? She even said it herself: "When you love the Doctor, it's like loving the stars themselves" The entire first half of the episode we saw the Doctor feel unimportant and insignificant in her eyes.

Two of the finest actors Doctor Who has ever had.

That side-eye when you heard Manhattan mentioned. :D Yeah, we all did that. This is one of the episodes I always look forward to reactors watching. The final scene with the Doctor and River is so touching. I don't want to give my opinion on it yet but I'm disappointed that people have already told you that season 11 isn't worth watching. I like reactors to go into it blind. Who knows, you may love it. There are people who are fans of the Russell T Davies era (Eccleston and Tennant) who said the same thing about the Moffat era. Sesskasays mentioned it in one of her videos and she ended up loving the Moffat era of the show. So yeah, I think people should keep those opinions to themselves because what's the point in watching reaction videos if you just want to influence the reactor? By the way, it's fine if you didn't react to it but did you know there was another Christmas special after this one? We had a year without Doctor Who, so we got two consecutive Christmas specials. It's easy to miss, so I was worried you may not know it exists.
@eirei0789

"what's the point in watching reaction videos if you just want to influence the reactor" Because people want the reactors to have the same opinions and emotional reaction as they had. They don't want a surprise or a fresh look, just confirmation. For the most part it's fine (the happy bits and the sad bits), but then the reactors have a differing opinion from the audience, and they immediately get stormed by comments saying that they're wrong. I still remember Sesska having to address multiple times why she didn't love "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances" and "The Girl in the Fireplace". Not saying everyone does this, but it's a noticeable pattern.

I love this end to Rivers story. It ties everything up like when she got the sonic. The perfect way to end her story, first meeting she knows him and he doesn't know her. The "last" time they meet he knows her and she doesn't know him. It gives Silence in the library and forest of the dead more weight and relevance now. Also this does have a bootstrap paradox because 10 saves her and finds out what his future self did to save her. Then all he had to do was remember what he did. So 12 could then put his saving her plan into action. But when did the Doctor think of the idea to save her? The answer is no one knows. He only knows what to do after his past self sees the result. It's Beethoven all over again. Can't wait till Thursday.

Hah, 12 doing the TARDIS entrance "properly" is such a fun scene, great reaction to his... reaction ;). And i'd say it's not worth bothering about what "everyone" or "the majority" thinks of series/episodes/etc. because the truth is, none of us really know that anyway - forums and comments sections aren't necessarily a representative sample of the fandom, neither are polls and even viewing figures are a bad indicator IMO (plenty of my favourite shows have been cancelled or lived on the bubble for years due to low ratings - looking at you 'Agents of Shield'). And even if we could get accurate numbers, lots of people thinking something doesn't make it true. So to me you're better just making up your own mind and trying not to let other people's opinions create preconceptions that affect your enjoyment of the show.

@@spiderfingers86 Agreed. It brings some format refurbishment changes (something the show badly needed in my opinion) and has some questionable choices on the behalf of the showrunner, but overall I don't see Series 11 as being any worse. It has maybe 4 episodes that stand out as great/excellent which is more or less on par with most Who series. I just can't fathom the "hatedom" it has attracted. Dr Who fandom has always made moaning about the current series a popular pastime, but recently some of these so-called "fans" have taken it to a level that just leaves me feeling dirty just interacting with them. Doctor Who fans that can't deal with change. Now there's irony. One thing is sure - I'll be damned if I want to let these miserable misogynists control the narrative of fandom.

The majority of people don't dislike Season 11. The season's ratings completely contradict that, being the highest in years. It's just the fans who didn't like it are very loud about it. Personally, I think the stories are weaker, although I really like Jodie as the Doctor. So who knows how you'll feel about it. Opinion of it definitely isn't as universally negative as it might seem.

@@CharmingNewSociety The 50 min run time for the lack of a 13 ep series for 10, no real conflict, no real repercussions to character actions, no two part stories, no 13 getting truly tested & no real arc.

And here we go! The end of the River Song arc! I guess Moffat had to get it out of the way before leaving as Showrunner... The way you breakdown every time you mention Clara legitimately makes me so happy. Personally I kinda hate her, but seeing you happy make me LOSE it! NARDOLE!!!!! He was Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum in the "Alice" movies! She carries a trowel like Brian! OUCH! Capaldi's expressions give me SO MUCH LIFE. A new Regeneration Cycle has only happened twice... And once was in Classic "Who", so of course River wouldn't know about Matt changing into Capaldi. "Finally... It's MY turn!" He's been waiting his WHOLE LIFE for this and I AM HERE FOR IT. "Hello, Sweetie." BOOM. "CLEOPATRA!" "SAME THING!" I forgot River passed herself as Cleo for a while... Good times! And I'm glad she mentioned that time Smith accidentally married Marilyn Monroe... 24 years... That's a hell of a night... Goodbye, River Song! Good Luck! And now, Series 10! I really hope you like it! It's a little packed with propaganda, but I legitimately like it! At the very least it gave Capaldi more time to shine! -"Ren".

@@adzinco6916 I actually thought they gave more money on season 11 already, perhaps I am wrong about that though. It certainly looked more expensive. I had high hopes with Chibnall as I enjoyed his work with Broadchurch, and had hoped seeing he worked with some Doctor Who actors in the past, that he would have a good dynamic with Jodie Whittaker at least. He just does not seem to get his head around actual science fiction stuff though. It looks like he will still be writing, but I do hope he will get in other writers to mentor him somewhat, and they will learn from previous criticism. Perhaps I am being too hopeful with the long delay being time for them to rethink things.

I'm not sure a majority of people dislike S11. I thought most of it was great. Peaks and troughs as with any run. But there is a noisy contingent who did dislike it for various reasons (some of them I'm sure simply on the basis of reactionary responses to certain casting choices, others more on certain production choices that were made or their personal perception of the writing, which is always subjective). And actually, if I recall correctly post-Tennant you've actually tended to favour the less fan-popular seasons (like 6 and 9) quite a bit anyway. I wouldn't let anyone else's views cloud yours - though I would say that for me the best of S11 is up there with the best of the show. In terms of 'Husbands' - it's a great Christmas romp and if you do rewatch the Library 2-parter you will see that Moffat does a pretty good job of matching up his description of their 'last night' in that story with its depiction here. S10 will be great.

I always found that 12 and River had more chemistry , probably because Peter and Alex are closer in age. With 11 it was more of a blossoming romance whereas with 12 it was more mature and settled. Whatever happened in 24 years before the library 12 was the man River was in love with and when she meets 10 that relationship hasn’t even started then in his timeline and it breaks her heart. Matt Lucas and Greg Davies are two British comedians and actors and Greg in particular has two successful sitcoms and is host of a brilliant comedy tv show called Taskmaster. He’s also 6’ 8’’ so he had no problems playing a huge character!!
