Survivors of the Flux
We’re five out of six installments into Doctor Who: Flux, and we have answers to some things! But they come with twice as many new questions.
A long-running Doctor Who fandom podcast aimed at open and positive discussion.
We’re five out of six installments into Doctor Who: Flux, and we have answers to some things! But they come with twice as many new questions.
In this fourth chapter of the Doctor Who: Flux series, we ask: is a creepy story with intense scenes, great performances and a cliffhanger ending enough to forgive the fact that we still have no answers?
Sucked out of quiet contemplation about the Flux conflict, we’re bounced around the collective timestreams and memories of Dan, Yaz, Vinder, and the Doctor herself…but what can we trust of what we see?
The mysterious Flux has scattered our trio just at the moment when Sontarans seem to have reappeared in Earth’s past and present timelines. The time for potato humor…is over.
With more pieces in play than a D&D tournament arena, Series 13 crashes in with a frenetic first episode that brings new adversaries, new friends, new conflicts, and new locations.
A proper (and we use that term with precision) teaser trailer for Doctor Who’s rapidly approaching Series 13 is here, and there’s a lot to unpack from a pallet of tiny 1.5-second boxes.
So it looks as though we’re getting Series 13 in the Fall of 2021 as promised after all (and just barely), as we’re told that Halloween 2021 will mark the first episode of eight.
Making headlines with more supposition than surprise, we take apart this past week’s announcement that Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker will be exiting Doctor Who in 2022 after no less than three special feature broadcasts.
Gwen learns of another disturbing aspect of dealing with the Rift, and we all take a blow from Chris Chibnall’s ability to write emotionally charged scenes.
After ten months of waiting, we dip back into the daily doings of the three isolated companions to see how they’ve fared with their ten months away from the Doctor. We have an answer to the frenetic final moments of Series 12, and all four of us are quite satisfied with the outcome, albeit very, very bittersweet.
