🕑 Added 2023-01-13 15:01:00 +0000 UTCA Few Notes:
- Please no spoilers beyond this episode 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 HBO Max.

Doc knew she (River) killed someone because bishop jorah mormont told him she did in 5x5
monguru (Rose Tyler fan)
River... My favorite character! (of course there are others) She looks a lot like Sarah Jane Smith in some ways. But: Elisabeth Sladen has sadly passed away. Alex Kingston is very much alive! I really hope that River Song's biography will get an "update"!

This all makes to me. I feel like whenever everything with River wraps up, I'll need to go back and rewatch all her episodes to see how everything fits together once I know the whole picture.
Britany Felix
Ahh, okay. I guess that makes some sort of sense. Still odd, though, when you're used to not having that. lol

The penny literally just dropped for me on River's speech about the time she will meet the doctor and he doesn't recognize her, and how she thinks it will be the death of her. I thought it was just Moffat trying to be clever and having River use a common phrase as a bit of foreshadowing (that we had already seen). But I just realized that River is actual applying logic here. If the Doctor doesn't recognize her then, then that means it's the last time they'll ever meet, since they are travelling backwards, his first time must equal her last time. She knows that she'll never stop looking for the Doctor, so the only possible reason for it would be that it's her death. Of course, they don't technically always meet in reverse order, it's a bit more wibbly wobbly than that which is why she "thinks" it will be the death of her.

I knew you would like this one, I'm so glad you're here! Mark Sheppard and his dad. π
Ian Smith
As I mentioned on the Discord, Mark and I were schoolmates. We once shared a bunk - he was on the top one :) This is a fun first part; but I had to smile when you said you needed to watch part two in order to get the answers......good luck with that!

The promo bit before the credits I believe is particular to international viewers only especially America. It did not & still doesn't appear in π¬π§ This moment in time 2011 significantly marks a huge increase in popularity of Doctor Who especially in the US and was a contributing factor why for the first time production moved across the Atlantic to film there. Promotion of Who became bigger in America at this time with personal appearances by the cast on TV & in person with fan events.

I thought it looked familiar!! I couldn't remember why though. So, thanks for that! Lol
Michael
Don't know if you recognised it or not but the alien ship that River and Rory were exploring, was the same design as the one that was abandoned in the James Corden episode.
Britany Felix
I did notice they had the same last name when I paused the credits and wondered if it was his dad. Thanks for confirming! :)
Michael
So excited for this!!!!
Rain
If you didn't know, the man playing old Canton is Mark Sheppard's father! Been waiting to see your reaction to his apprearance here lol
