2025-01-27 18:48:31 +0000 UTC24:34 it was mentioned in the second to last episode on the weakest link as a throw away… I’m surprised you remembered

2025-01-03 01:43:01 +0000 UTCIts just regeneration sickness its like a hangover If u regenerate in a high stress state such as pain or dying a none peacful death you get a sickness foe 24 gours after Some time-lords used to meditate whwn regenerate ro prevent it and if a timelord body dies of old age and they regenerate from that they dont get sickness

2024-12-29 00:00:47 +0000 UTCAbout the TARDIS metarializing like... well THAT. Firstly the Doctor just regenerated so he was all over the place. And secondly the TARDIS is designed with the intention of it being piloted by 6 people. So for future reference don't surprised if he runs around franticly to keep the ship in a (somewhat) stable condition - mainly landing it.

2024-12-27 12:35:29 +0000 UTCBeing ,,off-handedly" mentioned. It has not been mentioned in a ,,present day" context. e. i. In relation to the Torchwood spin-off.

2024-12-27 12:23:30 +0000 UTClol yeah, i know he was exiled but i sort of felt like I would've had to explain how exactly he was exiled lmao so i just settled for being grounded.

2024-12-27 06:35:31 +0000 UTCWas grounded on Earth is a very undertoning way of saying what happened, altho this is how the Doctor would have felt about his exile on Earth. He loves the Earth and humanity. For Sure. But he also lives for the adventures across time and space.

2024-12-27 06:01:16 +0000 UTCI didn't mention this last time UNIT showed up (Aliens of London) but UNIT was first introduced as an organization back with the 2nd Doctor and got more of a spotlight with the 3rd doctor's run when he was grounded on Earth for about 2 seasons and he worked for them as a sort of extraterrestrial/scientific advisor Also Torchwood was mentioned in part 1 of the season 1 finale, it was one of the questions on the Weakest Link. One of the other side characters was asked a question about a "historical earth landmark" and the correct answer was Torchwood.

2024-12-27 05:33:41 +0000 UTCI'm sure Morgan has heard of Chekhov's Rifle so they know. I mean if not they're probably wondering how a Star Trek gun got into Who, but sometimes weird timey wimey shite happens.

2024-12-26 13:18:56 +0000 UTCYes Morgan. Thank you for this FANTASTIC Christmas present. What a way to introduce David Tennant’s Doctor. And it’s only just the beginning. 🥳🌲🎉🥳🥳🥳

2024-12-26 09:52:01 +0000 UTCActually, the name was mentioned in the episode “Bad Wolf” by the Anne-droid as one of the questions.

2024-12-26 07:47:46 +0000 UTCLOL, the effects got one thing very wrong, the scale of the Colisseum is completely wrong, the CGI people would have to be like 20 feet tall for that picture to make sense
Verdigree
2024-12-26 06:40:22 +0000 UTCYou have never heard the word Torchwood in the show before now, I’ll tell you that much
Verdigree
2024-12-26 06:32:40 +0000 UTCThere is actually an explanation for the unique way the Tardis landed in the last thing you watched, that took place before this. The Doctor felt a little excited and wanted to go faster, so he pressed a button he hasn’t used in a long time is what he said
Verdigree
2024-12-26 06:29:02 +0000 UTCMerry Christmas Morgan! I remember a bit back I was in the group saying "Watch Doctor Who, but start with Nine." And I remember I had the smarty comment along the lines of "and if you get through it fast enough, David Tennant starts with a Christmas special!" And you powered through and you can take it at your own pace now and congratulations and thanks for the Christmas treat. It was awesome, we enjoyed, enjoy the show going forward at your own pace. And you know where you've heard of TorchWooD before, it's just all a bit of a jumble since you went so fast, or maybe we're just all being obnoxious kids cause we can be...

2024-12-26 03:05:48 +0000 UTCoh also as a classic who fan i also have to mention - the christmas specials have only been a thing since the 2005 revival, and weren't a thing in classic who, apart from one time: the 1965 episode "the feast of steven". that only happened because one episode of the 12-part story "the daleks' master plan" happened to air on christmas day, and so the writers decided to take a break from their big plot filled and slightly depressing and scary storyline to do a fun little christmas special where the characters get up to hijinks on a film set, and at the end the doctor wishes the audience a merry christmas! this has nothing to do with the christmas invasion, but i just wanted to nerd out a bit about the show i love lol 😅
Luke
2024-12-25 22:55:12 +0000 UTCoh and other ppl have mentioned this but yes, this is the right episode! the one they're watching in heartstopper is "the runaway bride", which comes between seasons 2 and 3, and is one of my personal favourite christmas specials! doctor who has done a christmas special basically every year since 2005 (apart from about 2018-2022, when the showrunner at the time switched to doing new years specials instead) and they're always part of the storyline at least to some degree, even if they're sometimes more removed from overall season plotlines :)
Luke
2024-12-25 22:47:50 +0000 UTCI think the reason Torchwood sounded familiar is because someone mentioned it once in a comment a reaction or two ago, and it was a comment you had hearted.
SauceyRed
2024-12-25 21:41:23 +0000 UTCOne thing to remember about the Doctor (most any incarnation), is that he does not use guns or is it an instinct to him to use violence as the primary solution to problems (As it is for humans - in a general sense). And he does not appriciate when his companions do/try to do the whole killing thing, be it alien or human.

2024-12-25 19:51:27 +0000 UTCYeah I know I’ve heard about it with my friend. I heard about the ianto stuff which is already a preface lol. I recently learned about the attraction in Cardiff bay too that was very interesting to read about

2024-12-25 18:38:23 +0000 UTCWarning if you ever watch it: It is VERY adult oriented. Just one ,,word": 456.

2024-12-25 18:35:54 +0000 UTCWatching the newest Christmas Special (Joy to the World) after your reaction to the first one was certainly an experience. I loved both ones, but I had to put myself in the head-space to watch the new one for sure.
LikeCat
2024-12-25 18:33:26 +0000 UTCWithout saying why...just...remember the Doctor's severed hand. No reason why I'm saying that, totally won't come up some time in the future or anything, absolutely not.
Flufux
2024-12-25 18:25:18 +0000 UTCThought so. I knew it was in the same kind of universe, just wasn’t sure if the events were canon to doctor who hence the parallel universe comment, I haven’t seen torchwood myself but my best friend is obsessed with it lol
ShadowDust
2024-12-25 18:20:23 +0000 UTCThe Torchwood show is in the same universe as Doctor Who, it's just that the Doctor himself never appears in it...mostly because Doctor Who has a huge audience among kids, and they didn't want the Doctor to draw kids in to watch the way more adult and higher rated Torchwood show.
Flufux
2024-12-25 18:19:09 +0000 UTCHappy Holidays! :) It's a blast watching you react to this just like so many of us did when it first came out! Brings back such great energy! :) There's so much more amazing stuff to go!

She pulled out the party hat. "It's pink! Mom, it should be yours." "it wasn't pink." thougt the doctor. "It was rose" -The Christmas Invasion by Jenny T Colgan audiobook

2024-12-25 16:52:45 +0000 UTCevery season has a christmas special
Jamie
2024-12-25 16:44:17 +0000 UTCdont worry morgan this is the right episode, there are multiple christmas specials so the scene from heartstopper could be one of those or maybe even a cut scene from this one
Luke Teasdale
2024-12-25 16:19:46 +0000 UTCYeah it's the right episode there is just a lot of chrismas speical, the one heartstopper showed was another chrismas speical, but I can't remember which one lol
Katie Speirs
2024-12-25 16:18:24 +0000 UTCAlso I love seeing the different Doctors' first stories (usually a Christmas Special), for one reason: LOVE seeing The Doctor being high on regeneration energy, it is so fun.

2024-12-25 16:14:30 +0000 UTCBy the way the special shown in Heartstopper is the special that came out after season 2 I believe

2024-12-25 16:12:24 +0000 UTCSo about the whole ,,6 words" thing: When The Doctor told the ,,Don't you think she looks tired?" to Harriett's assistent he - for lack of a better word - started spreading a ,,gossip", basically he (The Doctor) wanted her to be removed from power and this seemed the most subtle and peacefull way of doing it. By starting a rumor (which would spread like wildfire) and which she could not defend against it.
LikeCat
2024-12-25 16:11:44 +0000 UTCDon't worry about forgetting Torchwood, I think they did mention it in season 1 but I also forgot until I watched one of your reactions and even now I can't remember what episode they mentioned it in lol it was a very small line of dialogue probably Your reaction was AMAZING! Gods I LOVE this episode it's literally one of my FAVORITES of the specials. Happy Holidays to you and I hope you enjoy your day today!
NatMcK7
2024-12-25 16:03:38 +0000 UTCDon’t worry Morgan! Torchwood has been mentioned I believe once in this show so far, but it hasn’t been explained or explored yet. The reason why it’s familiar is you’ve probably heard of the Tv show by the same name. Captain Jack is in it and I believe it takes place in the same universe, if not then a parallel universe
ShadowDust
2024-12-25 16:00:48 +0000 UTCLittle random Torchwood is an anagram for Doctor who back when the series started in 1963. They did it as a way to hide it from TV pirates
Sirghostfreak
2024-12-25 15:34:21 +0000 UTCIt's ok - I don't think you're supposed to know what Torchwood is yet! Also, the "don't you think she looks tired?" - it's the death knell of a politician. As soon as people start talking about how "tired" they look, that's the start of the slippery slope. At the time this was made, that was what people were saying about Tony Blair, to try and undermine him and get him out of office.
