Doctor WHO | "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" | S14x7 | REACTION | Ncuti Gatwa

Some people are telling you to watch the 60th specials... I don't know what's your plan for Doctor Who after season 1, but I wouldn't recommend watching those, because there's some heavy spoilers for someone that is already familiarised enough with the show. I think that, after season 1 you should go back to the 2005 series 1 episode 1, the episode called "Rose" and watch it normally from there.

Ugo, your analysis and insights about this season of Doctor Who would be impressive for anyone, let alone someone who has never watched the show before. You have pointed out things I didn't pick up on and remembered things from earlier episodes I had forgotten, and I've been a Doctor Who fan since 1993! I'm really enjoying your reactions.

"set him straight" puts a picture of Rogue looking disappointed Amazing.

I actually only noticed this small thing after another reactor pointed it out, but Harriet actually cries a little bit during their monologue while talking about how all creation would fall. So I guess the Harbingers actually do have feelings and can act like people, but are still mainly messengers meant to be used for the Doctor Who gods.

I loved that Mel shows how a companions job can be to call the Doctor to action, lovely as Ruby is, at times she over embraces his emotional crisis, Mel was having none of it.

There's something horrifically scary about a villain with an ASMR voice.

'i wonder if we've ever seen him regenerate on screen' babs we've seen it happen >15 times by now

I have a feeling the “we will get him” was an Elon Musk joke

For context: UNIT has been a thing in Doctor Who since 1968, originally run by Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, and run by his daughter Kate Stewart since 2012. The Doctor's granddaughter Susan was a companion from 1963-64. Mel Bush was a companion from 1986-87. The current UNIT tower and many of the staff were introduced last year. Sutekh is a returning villain from 1975. Some of the mentioned gods have appeared before, some haven't, but them being actual gods is a new concept. If you want to see more of the show, I'd recommend starting from the 2005 series 1.

I only just noticed that the doctor says that time lords regenerate to save themselves or "hide themselves away", and Ms. Flood specifically says that she's always hiding herself away. Coincidence? Yeah, maybe.

Your breakdown of how regeneration works was pretty spot on. The Doctor has all the same memories and a lot of the same core emotions and personality traits every time. Regeneration changes the whole body, including brain chemistry, so it can affect personality. It's why some Doctors are more playful, less sociable, or have different likes or dislikes. At the core, though, it's always the same person.

Its so fun to watch you discover this show with this as your first season. Yeah you may not be able to get all the references to the 60 years history of this show, but I can see how much this episode still hooked you haha!

If you're interested on who Sutekh is (Within Dr Who), he first appeared in the episode "Pyramids of Mars" from 1975. Not sure where to find this episode outside of the UK though whish is a shame.

I'm glad you've been enjoying Doctor Who so much, been a blast seeing a newcomers reaction over these past few weeks. I hope you decide to do reactions to Doctor Who, with the revival starting in 2005 when this season ends

Yep, lots of "new" faces for a newcomer there, but most of them are "old" ones for the rest of us. But shh, spoilers, you'll get to that at your own pace. :) Ha, at that "thoughts and prayers" intro ! ^^

I was very curious how well this episode would work to someone unfamiliar with both Sutekh and UNIT, and it's nice to see that it still holds up. Also, lots of other comments are full of spoilers and people explaining lore and answering questions you specifically asked them not to

I was curious to see how this episode would play to somebody working with less knowledge of the show so this was cool! Definitely worth getting into the rest of the show.

you are right about egyptian gods,Sutekh is also known as Set & Seth

Bro I love your reactions so much!

You could watch the 2005 series of Doctor Who in between Season 1 and 2 if you can't get enough of the show. I wouldn't reccommend the 60th specials first just because they rely on you knowing what happens in the 2005 series.
