The Empty Child (2709/109)

[gate_gurl1]

I loved this episode, too. My 23 year old sister and I were huddled together with the lights off, freaking out because of the little child saying "Are you my mummy?". It was terrific!

I also felt like slapping Jack upside the head and say, yes, your actions WILL come back to haunt you. But in truth, I do like Jack, to a point. But it was once again the Doctor and Rose who saved the day !

this episode scared me half to death i loved it tho. even my mum was scared

[Puddle-Jumper]

There is a kid with a gasmask who looks just like the one from this episode in the queen video for Radio Gaga....

really maybe i should pay more attention. i re watched this today and it still freaks me out a little its a good episode

[Gen. Chris]

This and the second episode are freaking creepy...

I would give this episode 10 stars out of 10. the concept of the episode was the best i had ever seen(so far:O). now, when ever someone has seen that episode and reads the doctor suess book ARE YOU MY MOMMY?, they shall forever see the kid as a child with a gas mask on.

[iJOKE]

Yeah, "Mummy" is a creepy word, now. And gasmasks... yeek.

oh my god that episode was so scary. :O
I have a gas mask (exactly like the one in the episode) a few rooms from where i am now... all that would go through my mind now is 'Mummy.. are you my mummy'
And how it morphed onto their faces.. i almost fell off my chair.
Creepy episode
Kudos to moffat!

watching the next ep now....... not in the dark!

Cool episode, and definitely the most creepy one so far! Yikes. And yay for Harkness!

Cool episode, and definitely the most creepy one so far! Yikes. And yay for Harkness!

I found this one of the more enjoyable episodes for the Ninth Doctor. Part of it was the mixture of opposites. The episode was set in the past but contained elements from the distant future, namely Jack and his ship, as well as the situation they're all caught up in.

Just rewatched this episode. Still terrifying to this day!

It scares the bejesus out of me. Especially the scene near the end when the old doctor turns into one of those empty things.
