Yes, before we get 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.600 into anything, there's a new segment I'd like to introduce cold. 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:59.200 I'm actually, oh god, yeah, and you did not. I 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.160 love that. I'm the or co host and you did 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:04.840 not go over this because I forgot about it until 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:08.520 right up until we started. But yeah, I'm actually it's 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.360 the segment that I'm bringing. Yeah, you're going to encourage 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.560 people to do this too us. Yeah. Well, you know, 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:19.440 sometimes they're right and sometimes we don't care. This is 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.120 one of the times I do care. Don't abuse this 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.479 don't make me cancel the whole segment, y'all, but I'm 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.720 gonna give you the appropriate shouts out when you do 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:34.600 point out something in a nice polite manner. Yeah. Uh. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.199 Thomas Allen on the page pointed out that I did 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:42.640 call Jean Claude van Damn Russian. I said his Russian accent. 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.080 He is not Russian. He was born in Belgium and 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.279 that's his nickname was Muscles from Brussels. And I totally 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.240 forgot that, and so that was right. And one other 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.640 person they weren't actually correcting, They're actually just kind of 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:58.040 adding on to the story, but they actually pointed out 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.600 something that uh, I kind of missed the same episode 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.720 two Street Fighter when I was saying that it was 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:09.120 the r bumper or something on the Genesis controller, it 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.359 was I want to get their name in it to 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:17.120 um infinite content. Soul brother to one five on Twitter 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.880 pointed out that it's the start button. It was the 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.640 start button that you have to press in Street Fighter 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.440 to switch it from punch to kick, which is just 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.920 all bad, which is even worse than a trigger button, 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.560 because that's what you used to pause. How did you pause? 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.240 Probably select? But yeah, thanks y'all. Yeah, like Danny says, 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.200 you know, we make a give us a gentle nudge 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.359 if we make a make a trip up, and we'll 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:45.040 shout you out a gentle, very gentle think of think 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:51.760 of the bruises we have from just existing and just 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.680 just love tap and we will make that correction because 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.600 we do want you all to have the correct info. 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.200 But how would you how would you how do you 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.440 speak to your little niece or nephew or like grown 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.560 as adults. We're grown adults, but please talk to us 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.800 like we're three. And there's really not even anyone's fault, 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.959 but just everything that we're used to. So the energy 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.800 always feels the same when someone's like, hey, people don't 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.000 realize how much how when you have like thousands of followers, 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.280 how much you get people that are not nice, that 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.280 don't follow you, that aren't friends with like you know 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.040 what I mean, that are fans of you? Are to 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:31.080 read tone on the Internet. Yes, it's something Reddit has created. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.600 One of the few good things they've created is the 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:39.320 slash s to say that you're being sarcastic. Our guests 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:44.040 has been sitting here just silently and politely, probably making 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:48.400 small notes in her head that like, oh, y'all mess 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.080 this dog all the way up because she is I 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:56.160 think when Danny said this was the episode, I was like, oh, 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.920 so we're definitely going to get this person, yeah and collectively, 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:05.040 and she was like I already yeah, yeah, yeah, she 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.600 is the Doctor Who critic for nurdiced comedian and writer 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.880 Riley Silverman, Hello, um, actually not yeah. I was like, 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:14.600 in my head, I was like, how do you not 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.440 know muscles from Brussels? And then and then you said it, 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.800 so I didn't have to say anything. Well yeah, well 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.880 you know, look, I'm I would only make myself look 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:25.960 worse if I pointed out the fact that it was like, 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:30.480 I don't know where Brussels is Germany, right, not Russia. 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.120 Well I think we already established it's in Belgium. That 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.440 was like the whole point of your thing. I'm not 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.840 I'm not even like an action person. And I knew 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.360 that Jean Clan van Dam was muscles from Brussels. Yeah, 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.280 oh my gosh. Um Okay, So, Riley, what was your 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.800 first introduction to Doctor Who? I am weirdly got into 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.719 Doctor Who first through Torchwood, the spinoff series. It was 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.039 a thing where I had to watch episodes of it 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:59.359 for work, and I liked it. But I'm also a 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.719 weird com leash in this nightmare person and so I 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.559 almost like, for years I wanted to watch Doctor Who, 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.200 but in my head I had this whole thing of like, 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.080 I can't give myself the amount of time it takes 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.800 to watch six fifty years of a show, which I 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.080 have since done, but at the time, like it's weird 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.120 because most people I know who are fans Doctor Who 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.920 of the modern series, like, aren't people who go like 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:23.159 I know a lot. I have a lot of people 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:24.680 who are fans of the original series, But people who 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.600 I talked to you on day to day basis who 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.839 run into me and like like my hardest person or whatever, 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.960 tend to be like David Tennant fans or something like that. 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.800 Nobody said to me like, no, you don't have to 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.680 watch the Classics if you don't, like you can jump 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.080 in on the news show, and like, I recommend the 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.040 classic eventually, but it is it's a very different show 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:42.960 and it's a lot of work to get into, just 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:44.479 like watching Old Star Trek or whatever. You know. I 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.160 watched it before, so I was like afraid of it 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.160 and then but when I started watching Torch Boy, I 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:50.719 was like, I gotta see how this works. So I 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.400 went back and started with the five original like the 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.960 return of the show with Christopher Cockleston, and I fell 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.720 for it pretty quickly and just plowed through it all 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:01.360 and then went back and watched all the Torch towards 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.320 as well. But yeah, it was It's It's that was 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.280 seven years ago this point, because I've it's become like 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.600 a lifestyle for me since. But yeah, it's just something 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.440 about it really clicked with me in a way that 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.280 like very few other shows have. And it actually I 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.640 would say maybe no other show like it's. It's the 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.680 only show I have a tattoo for. And I'm literally 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.800 sitting here with a Doctor Who t shirt and I 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.320 have that as my coat. So that's so funny. But 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.919 the people that we've had because I have my dragging, 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.479 I feel like you're known as Doctor Who personally in 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.920 our circle, I'm the Dragon ball Z person. Like when 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.640 anyone has a podcast or a panel about DBZ and 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.720 I have that's the only tattoo I have is a 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.719 Dragon ball Z tattoo. And um, Kyle Shy, remember if 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.560 you came on for the Avatar one. He has an 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.840 avatar tattoo, and it was like, this is van dam 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.839 just like all about Claude van dam yea, yeah, I 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.600 have it with love from Russia and John Claude van 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.160 Damn under it. It's just fun. He always muscles from 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.640 Russell's men. He ate russell sprouts and the protein gave 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:05.000 him because one stereotype Russians love Brussels. For me, it's 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.200 because I'm so fickle and I knew I wanted a tattoo, 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.000 but I was like, what am I going to always love? 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.600 Have I always loved? And and something that that is 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.160 going to stay with me? And that's why I got 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.000 my DVZ tattoo. It just made sense as opposed to 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:22.720 getting like a boyfriend's name or something that that's the 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.640 worst thing, even if you're married. Don't even if it's 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.440 your kid, okay with your kid break But yeah, I 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.120 like mine is a doctor who tattoo, but it's not 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.920 like the doctor who fonts, and it's not really one 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.000 that like if I ever to fall out of love 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.120 with this show, I'm like, I now my armies be 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.480 burned off. It just says deep breath what's the name 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.960 of an episode of the show which happened to have 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.400 really a personal significance to me when I started transitioning. 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.640 So that's why I got it. It It was like a 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.400 gift to myself after being on hormones for over a year. 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.720 I'm gonna get this tattoo to commemorate this, and that's 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.800 what this was about. And so you'll ever get more 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.200 Doctor Who tattoos. I have thought about it because us 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.800 I had a really big issue this year with getting 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:04.960 my I had I had a surgery back in March, 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.040 and I'm supposed to have it in January, getting pushed back, 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:08.240 and I had a lot problems with it in fighting 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.640 insurance companies. And then around that time, people had like 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.920 sent me some gifts for the show and like presents, 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.880 like like get well soon gifts or whatever, and like 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.080 then like mental health gifts because I was like freaking 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:24.360 out about surgery being canceled and the fandom of Doctor 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:28.480 Who kind of co opted the Elizabeth Warren. Nevertheless, she 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.440 persisted slogan to Nevertheless, she regenerated when they turned the 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.959 Doctor when they cast a female to the Doctor, and 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:39.199 so I thought about getting in the script, Galla frame, 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.360 which is like the circular font thing that they had. 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.040 It's like this like alien languages like layered and has 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:48.200 like connected lines and it's hard to described out physical pictures, 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.920 but it's basically like layered circles. I was going to 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.960 get just and s R in script gallafraan somewhere my body, 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.319 so it's like my regeneration after my So I might 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.920 still do that at some point because it's cool. That 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.520 also one that I don't think like screams like if 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:03.080 you don't know what it means, Like, yeah, it just 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.840 means like it's like a significant thing for me, because 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.440 I did think of it. Also, getting the non doctor 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.440 who tattoo I thought about getting about a year ago, 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.559 and I'm kind of glad I didn't go through with it. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.280 Was I was going to get the Rebel Alliance logo 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.160 from Star Wars, but in the shape of a snowflake. Uh. 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.440 That thought like a cool resistant snowflake then. But yeah, 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.960 I think I think as much as I love Star Wars, 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:25.240 I don't think I would have been that one would 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:26.640 not have aged as well for me. I think like 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.600 in thirty or forty years, hopefully I'll be like, why 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:32.160 was our resistant stuff. I don't know again, hopefully. I 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:33.960 think it's funny that I'm going to be like ninety 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:39.800 five and have gokuon Bvegetea on me Grandma, because mine is. 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.320 I went with a subtle one too, because mine is 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.040 just imperious Rex and kind of like your old English 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.559 a little bit for those who don't know. That's name 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:52.439 more the Submariner's battle cry, and it's lentin for everyone 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:57.560 that it's so you know, the number one Marvel character, 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.200 name More the Submariner at the only one that no 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.959 one has the rights too, I think like universal ad 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.640 it or something at that point, because it's weird because 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.160 he's like in this weird kind of X Men kind 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.520 of Fantastic Four guy, so I think no one knows 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.240 what to do with him. But yeah, I like that 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.600 one because it wasn't like a because I'm I'm always 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.679 the type who's who's like, I don't want to do 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.000 the thing everyone's doing. So I wasn't gonna get an 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.120 X Men logo, He's going to get anything Superman or Batman, 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.160 nothing Wolverine. And I was like, who's like a like 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.200 far enough character to where like if you know, you 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.560 know and it's like I like Naymore's energy, even though 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.040 sometimes he can be a total tool. Like I like 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.880 just like I'm going to get what I want and 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.400 I don't care. I'm gonna do what's best for me 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:47.520 and my people. So that's how dry and live like that. Yeah, yeah, 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.360 I guess we should talk about the and this show. 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.080 So I kind of wanted to hear though in your 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.800 own words, Riley, like what Doctor Who is for someone? 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:58.800 Like if you have you seen I have not seen 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.600 any I can't, So here we'll go to my Doctor 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.360 Who history because I came in with Eccleston really liked it. 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.960 I love I love the thub Doctor. That's that's what 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.520 Eccleston was for me. He was like, look, I survived 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.240 the war and you know what's going I'm gonna pop 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:15.880 off for gott to pop off, but I don't want 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.680 to pop off anymore. And then we got Tenant, which 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.360 was a dream. Then he changed Mint Smith and I 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.800 just could not dig it. And everyone's like, just get 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.400 back in, it'll be good, but I just never did. 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.360 And then it just kind of turned into that thing 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.040 where it fell behind the queue of the million things 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.720 that we have to watch but I plan to revisit. 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.680 I think if you like Eccleston, you'll like Peter Capaldi 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.160 because Peter is my favorite doctor. He has a layer 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.959 and he's not everyone's favorite doctor, but I like him 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:44.920 because when when he first comes in in series eight, 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.640 he's pretty grumpy, so he has an Eckelson vibe a 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.800 little bit. That's actually what this tattoo is from. But 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.360 then like he kind of like I think he's the doctor. 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:53.640 And I won't go too deep in this right now, 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:55.840 we're gonna reet and talk about the show, but he's 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:57.559 a doctor that I feel most had like an actual, 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.679 like defined character arc of development, Like he comes in 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.079 like kind of lost and grumping and trying to find himself, 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.200 and by the end of it, his character has like 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.320 found himself again and it's like very much about like 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.320 kindness and empathy, and that gets me back to like 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:14.599 the show. So for me, like on its most simple form, 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:19.680 Doctor Who is a serialized sci fi series about a 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.839 time traveling alien who travels space and time in a 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.920 spaceship that looks like a time machine and spaceship that 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.559 looks like a police box for nineteen sixties, and that's 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.760 and basically travels around, usually with a companion, once in 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.520 a while alone but very rarely because it shouldn't travel alone, 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.480 finding people like kind of stumbling upon people who are 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.800 in trouble and helping them. And that's basically the premise 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:44.800 of the show. So it's not unlike how like the 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.240 premise of Star Trek is like, Hey, we have a 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.600 thing that's happening in this area space, let's go check 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.000 it out and see what's going on. That's basically what 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.480 Doctor Who is like. They're often like the it's kind 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.720 of quirky and at the hardest, which is the ship 0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:59.640 that they that they fly around in, which stands for 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.480 time and all through dimension in space, Like they'll be like, oh, 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.520 we're gonna go to this cool vacation planet and then 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.080 they show up instead of a planet instead and like 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.280 there's like trouble of Bruin and they'll kind of figure 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.240 out what's going on and then stop it. Are they 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:16.559 often here on Earth the other? Yes? Okay, both yes equally? 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.400 Would you say I'll make it goes from season to season? Okay, 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.760 it can be. Some seasons are really earth heavy. We've 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.520 actually had a pretty earth heavy several years, but other seasons, 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.880 they almost never come to Earth. So this most recent scene, 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.719 they always look human. For the most part, there are 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.880 aliens that are alien aliens, but for the most part, 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.600 doctors always the doctor looks well humans look time from 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.800 the show. Yeah, there's a lot of humanoid races on 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.240 this show. Oh so there's an episode is actually actually 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.320 a quote from the show. Someone says, when you look human, 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.559 He goes, no, you look time lord. So there are 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:56.600 what we perceived to be human. Time Lords basically look 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.960 like humans, but they have two hearts and that's like 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.200 the difference. That's the big difference between them. And they 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.240 also can regenerate and have like longer, and they also 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.360 can they've also I'm really glad that So I'm just 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.920 gonna ask some questions. Sure, um, and I'm gonna let 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.400 you continue. So do they choose what they look like 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.480 when they regenerate? Some can not, all can, um, Some 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.520 people have randoms, sometime lords have random regenerations. Others can 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.800 choose it. It's not super dug into the plot. That's 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.280 kind of one of those things where it's just like 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.240 in one episode the writers thought it was funny. They 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.560 have this woman changed her appearance a bunch. So I 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.000 guess sometime Lords the show is so fast and loose 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.200 with cannon that it's like really fun to watch. Fans 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.360 then like scramble to try like no, this, this is 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.560 what this means, because basically what happened is there was 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.880 one episode in the seventies where a character or named 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.040 Romana who was the Doctor's companion, but she was also 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.640 a time lord time lady. They replaced the actress in 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.600 the second season that they had her, so they had 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:53.200 her regenerate into this other actress and so they just 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.560 had like a jokey scene the first episode with her 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.680 where Romana kept walking in with different forms until she 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.480 like solidified the ones it's gonna take and then travel 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.040 with the doctor and it was La La Ward who 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.840 was amazing. So that's like, so then like when you 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:08.720 if you play the Doctor Who role playing game and 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:10.600 you play, like if you're playing as a time Lord, 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.880 you can choose like customized regeneration as one of your options, 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.400 whereas you played the Doctor, you have like you can't 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:20.040 choose your regeneration, Like the doctor can't like consciously choose 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.960 his or her regeneration happens at random random generation, so 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:28.080 there's two questions. Yes, so I remember there was a 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:33.760 limit on how many regenerations that has uh, have we 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:38.640 reached that it's been reset because the thing is the 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.160 thing with that something like that, and that's that is 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.880 a thing that was written into the show back in 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:48.120 the like seventies and when they first started like fleshing 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.200 out time Lord culture. Because when the show first started 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.760 in sixty three with William Hartnell the first Doctor, the 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:58.640 phrases that I'm using time Lord regeneration two hearts galliph right, 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.480 none of that was part of the show. That was 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.760 all Doctor was just a weird alien and he and 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.560 his granddaughter were traveling the universe in this police box. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:10.160 That like Tartists has now become like on the show 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.320 the term people used for these ships. But in that episode, 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.040 like the granddaughter just called her ship the Tartist because 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.000 of the initials. That wasn't like the official title for it. 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.960 But it's just been reckoned over time, Like yeah, they're 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:26.520 all called tartists. So the original one was like thirteen regenerations, 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.240 and then what happened was at the end when Matt 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.920 Smith became Peter Capaldi, there was they they had squeezed 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.200 in an extra regeneration when they did the fifty the 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:40.280 Anniversary special. So there's a regeneration between Paul McGann, who 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.080 was the Doctor, who the actor who played the Doctor 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.560 in the nineteen nineties TV movie who was the eighth Doctor, 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.160 and Christopher Eccleston, who was the ninth Doctor. They squeezed 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.080 in John Hurt as what we call the War Doctor, 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.520 and the reason for that is because Eccleston didn't come 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:58.040 back to the fifth Nivvertuary special, so they replaced so 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.160 since he wouldn't come back for it, they wrote this 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.880 new version of a doctor to kind of fulfill his role. 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.760 So the idea is like basically when the show came 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.840 back into thousand five, when it was kind of like 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.879 had this soft reboot where it still had the old continuity, 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.199 but it's kind of a new format show now. It 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.680 went from being a serialized twenty two minute episode show 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.399 to being an hour each week, and each hour was 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:22.920 like a pretty self contained story. They introduced this concept 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:27.879 of there had been this awful genocidal war in between 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.080 when the show ended and when it came back that 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.480 they called the Time War, and at the end of 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.560 that Time or the Doctor, it was between the Doctor's race, 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:39.200 the Time Lords, and their greatest enemy, the Daleks, and 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.880 the end of the Time War was at that point 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.800 was written to be that the Doctor did something that 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.320 was called the Moment. He unleased weapon called the Moment 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.879 that destroyed both races, and he was the only survivor 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.959 of the war. And that's why Echolson's Doctor is so 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.800 torn and tormented because he has this guilt of being 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.280 the destructor of his own own race on another race 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.720 as well, which is very against what normally the creed 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.600 of the Doctor is, which is very antigenicidal. And like 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.720 there's an episode in Classic Who called Genesis of the 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.199 Daleks where the Time Lord send the Doctor, which is 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:17.600 Tom Baker's Doctor back in time to the Daleks home 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.120 world to try to prevent them from ever being created 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.400 in the first place, and he ends up not doing 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.159 it because he doesn't feel like he morally has the 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.320 right to to deny and that our species the chance 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:31.240 to exist. And it's a really interesting, fascinating episode. And 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.239 so that was kind of the the crux of the 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.320 new show was that Doctor had like broken his own promise, 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.800 and that's why they brought in John Hurt, like he 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.000 was like, he hasn't even referred himself as the doctor. 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:43.800 He's the one who failed to be the doctor, and 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:45.720 then that's why he's The other ones are all feeling 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:49.159 guilty from then on. So that was one regeneration that 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.359 was squeezed in. And also you may remember during David 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:55.399 Tennant's run this net Present episode where he starts to 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.480 regenerate and then like sends his energy out of him 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:00.199 into a hand and turns into a new doctor. So 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.520 that was like counted as regeneration as well. And so 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:04.720 basically what happened was when Matt Smith was at the 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.639 end of his run, he said, like, I've used my regenerations. 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:11.680 I'm dying. When I die, I'm dead. And then through 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.960 plot things that I won't spoil for people haven't already 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.959 heard it. They like Rea set his regenerations, and so 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.760 Peter Capaldi was the first doctor of this news cycle 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:22.639 and they've kind of now gone like, we don't know 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.280 how many he has because they don't I think. I 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:29.760 think when they made thirteen as the number that was 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:31.800 back when the show, I had no idea they would 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.240 last and come back after break, so it was easy 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:36.880 to toss out like a number. It seems super fluck 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.320 when you're on like when you're all on the fourth Doctor, 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.240 it's easy to go. Yeah, thirteen regenerations, We'll see whatever. 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.439 Now that we're on Doctor, it's like, I don't want 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:47.640 to say a set market. We might hit twenty six 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:49.320 at some point because we're kind of going through these 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.919 people every three years or so. Yeah, I wanted to 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.720 go through some of these facts about when it was premiered. 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:57.639 It was all over the map there, so no, no, no, 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.080 I want to stop you because I want you to 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:09.680
