WATCH ALONG | DOCTOR WHO | The Power of the Doctor

I did record a reaction to the Children in Need special that followed this episode. (Thank you to the Patron who made sure I had access to a copy of it!) It will be a full edit so you do not need your own copy to watch alongside my reaction. It will be released by the end of this weekend.

*****

A Few Notes:

Please no spoilers beyond The Star Beast unless you see that later episodes have already been released. In that case, no spoilers beyond those episodes.

This video is in a watch-along format. This means you'll need your own copy of the episode to watch alongside my reaction. This is in an effort to avoid copyright infringement.

If you're based in the UK (or using a UK streaming site), here are instructions for how to get your copy to sync with mine.

The show footage will play for the first 30 seconds with both video and audio. After that, the show footage will be silenced, and the video will be blurred for the remainder of the episode. There is also a count-up timer that begins once the episode has started. These things will hopefully make it easier for you to keep your copy of the episode synced with mine.

This episode was viewed on Max.

Comments

Hello ma'am, new sub, noticed you were just starting my favorite Doctor on YT (11) and couldn't wait the years for the rest, once I realized you were caught up. I had to laugh about "This has to be the most beautiful regeneration." (Because I thought, I bet the TARDIS liked it the best...)

Here’s the way I think about what the Master was going for: He has always wanted to be the special one, and then he learns that the Doctor was the special one. So he couldn’t just impersonate her or pretend to be the Doctor — He actually had to become her and literally take her place. Like if the Doctor was a movie on a VHS tape, what he did was record over her. Some people object to the idea of the Doctor be ‘special’ like this, but she’s not the chosen one — she’s the colonized one. Tecteun treated her like a coal seam to be strip mined. The critique of empire runs all through 13’s era. (Listen to episode 110B of the Reality Bomb podcast at the 44:39 mark for an excellent 7-minute piece about this.)
