I love how the soldiers are so well trained, even when they intentionally miss. they still aim as close as possible.

[spacebox]

The man who can turn an army around at the mention of his name.
It wasn't an exaggeration apparently

[reetombera]

1:05 is such an awesome application of the bystander effect. No one wanted to shoot the Doctor, so each one separately figured that if they purposefully missed, someone else would probably shoot him and no one would be the wiser. But since everyone thought that, no one shot him. Then everyone realized no one there wanted to shoot the Doctor. Game over.

THIS is the doctor. I really dislike how some people stopped watching when Capaldi took over the role. He is amazing and the writing is amazing. I just love his doctor

[stuv]

The Doctor: "Every story ever told really happened.

Also The Doctor: "Robin hood is a MYTH!"

[jackdog]

“How many regenerations did we grant you? I’ve got all night”

As a Timelord, Rassilon must know that he could just kill him while he was regenerating and end it there, so that statement suggests he still intends to kill him over and over, despite the fact he could kill him quickly if he wanted to.

[simonnorris]

What this episode did REALLY well was show how much of a legend/hero the Doctor was amongst the common time lord soldier. He is almost revered for his actions during the Time War. Just what you want from a man who single handily ended the War, and gives a whole new understanding as to why the Daleks both hate and fear him

[AnEnemySpy]

The Doctor is very much like Napoleon in this scene. When he returned from exile the king sent out several forces of soldiers to arrest him but every time they just joined him until Napoleon marched on Versailles leading the king's own army.

"I was at Skull Moon, Sir."

What you don't hear is "I still serve you"

[Artisan]

Who can blame them? Rassilon disgraced himself and Gallifrey itself a thousand times over. He created the Master by cursing him with those damn four knocks in his head during a sacred rite of passage. He became a warlord during the Time War. He was willing to sacrifice Earth to bring the planet back from death. He ruined the masters life with insanity to create a back door to make the aforementioned plan happen. And of course he set the trap for the Doctor that cost Clara Oswald her life. The Doctor sacrificed four billion years in that confession dial to confront him and get Clara back. Before that he served with these men during the Time War, probably saving their lives in a losing battle. He more than earned their respect. So yes, Rassilon: Get off his planet.

"First thing you notice about the Doctor of War is he's unarmed. For many it's also the last."

Such a perfect picture of what the Doctor as a warrior would have been like. Terrifyingly, lethally clever.

[marcosbarbasgarcia]

"Every story ever told really happened. Stories are where memories go when they're forgotten". For me, one of the most beautiful lines ever written for television.

[PerovNigma]

I like the connection has with these soldiers, even though we've never seen them before. It really adds to his Time War character.

[rsingthorn]

"Explain!"
"Sir I am a stormtrooper!"

[Duchess_Van_Hoof]

"First thing you notice about the Doctor of War, is that he is unarmed. For many, it is also the last."

[BionicleGio]

I like how the doctor has such a reputation during the time war simply because he's unarmed. And no one on gallafrey wants to be on the receiving end of that

[williamhartnell]

"Every story ever, happened."
*looks at fanfictions, and cries*

[eternalmiasma]

Peters run had some of the most powerful moments in all of who history. Speech upon amazing speech, besting enemies without even a word. Spending billions of year to punch through a damn mountain!

[benjaminodonnell]

Just imagine what must have happened at "Skull Moon" to leave this sort of impression. Imagine the insane, apocalyptic cleverness of the War Doctor, the Doctor unleashed to use all his cleverness to destroy and frustrate a massively powerful enemy. Imagine how terrifying and inspiring that kind of angry trickster god would have been...

[comrade]

Rasillon "How many regenerations did we grant you?"
The Doctor:"How many seconds in eternity?"
