Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe portions of this episode that take place in 1967 are the earliest chronological appearances of Lethbridge-Stewart (mentioned by name, and his voice his overheard through archive recordings) and UNIT. Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart (Nicholas Courtney) first appeared in The Web of Fear: Episode 3 (1968), and when he returned in The Invasion: Episode Two (1968), he had been promoted to Brigadier General and commanding officer of the newly-formed UNIT. Both were regularly featured in the Third Doctor era, 1970-74, and recurring periodically through the rest of the classic series run. Lethbridge-Stewart made a final appearance in Enemy of the Bane: Part One (2008) before Courtney's death in 2011. He was mentioned several times in the revived series of Doctor Who, and his daughter Kate Stewart (Jemma Redgrave) has become the new leader of UNIT.
- GoofsAs soon as Yaz and Dan fall into the sealed Mexican pyramid there appears to be an already lit candle.
- Quotes
The Doctor: [via pre-recorded hologram] I'm probably worried for you if you're hearing this... And I'm sure I miss you.
Yasmin Khan: I miss you too.
The Doctor: I know you do... I hope you said 'I miss you too' or else that bit's weird.
Featured review
Another episode consisting of disjointed linkers and marred by some truly awful attempts at comedy
After being temporarily transformed into one of the feared 'Weeping Angels', The Doctor finds herself at the headquarters of 'Division', drifting somewhere in the null-space between Universes, where she encounters maternal villain Tecteun and an Ood (one of the franchise's better creations). Meanwhile, Yaz, Jericho and Dan are wandering the Victorian globe in search of a clue to Earth's future, the Grand Serpent infiltrates U. N. I. T, Bel searches for Vinder, and the sinister skelators Swarm and Azure extract power from captive humans. Like much of the Flux epic, I found this episode disjointed and needlessly cryptic. The previous installment's effective closing scene of the Doctor 'fossilising' into one of the menacing Angels goes nowhere and the 'light-hearted' scenes of Yaz et al playing at 'Indiana Jones' were painful to watch (especially the ridiculous and borderline tasteless encounter with a Tibetan lama (Indian guru?)). The teaser for next week, which shows the arrival of a Sontaran battle-fleet, more Cybermen and even the dreaded Daleks looks promising, so, like episode 3, this episode may be a bridge and will need to be reconsidered once the story arc concludes next week (but regardless of what happens, the shtick with Yaz (in her perky hat) and crew in 1902 will forever be cringe-inducing).
