life must win.
"She thinks running will help." That's it, that's the show.
We're wasting no time here flipping back and forth between the Doctor trying to get away from Swarm/back to the Universe and Yaz/Dan/Jericho trying to save the Universe.
"It must be a shift in time rather than space."
"I think you're getting the hang of this."
Annnd the Doctor's joined up with Karvanista and Bel!
"Oi! I'm the most stable person I know!"
And Kate's meeting up with Yaz and crew! And Kate has a TARDIS detector! (I mean, I assume it actually detects artron particles or something, but who cares about the details.) Kate ♥
The Doctor appears to be very unstable, she's flipping rapidly between Karvanista's ship, the tunnels with Yaz and crew, and Division's bubble universe.
"We offered the three-fingered hand of uneasy alliance."
I don't know why that's so funny.
"Except Rutans. Rutans, you remain hideous scum which must be obliterated."
Okay, I know why.
NO DON'T BREAK UP THE SHIELD DOCTOR
Bel is so impressed by the Doctor, it's adorable.
OH NO AZURE OPENED THE FOB WATCH
Seriously is that house Lungbarrow? It can't be Lungbarrow.
What is Swarm DOING?
This is just very effective imagery, damn.
"I approach everything with caution. Or abandon. One of the two."
The look on Yaz and the Doctor's faces after "a few years". :|
"Paul Hollywood handshake."
"Have you any clue what she's talking about?"
"Not a clue. Normal service resumed."
"Sorry, I forgot to mention. I'm being trisected across dimensions. It's quite draining. And confusing."
Shallo raiding the corner shop is weirdly adorable.
"I'd have a shop exactly like this. Well, not exactly, I'd make some changes."
"Your delicious and appealing mouth snacks wrapped in paper will never weaken our resolve! Maybe three more."
I feel you, Shallo, I would also sell out an army for chocolate.
Claire!
"I feel like there might be bad news."
"The planet's under alien occupation."
"Does this sort of thing happen a lot to you?"
Lol, Claire. I like Claire.
The Doctor is not having a good day.
"Were you my Companion?"
"I can't talk because it would kill me."
D:
"I have a synaptic collider implanted in my brain. ... I'll be dead in three seconds."
D: D: D:
"There was a time I'd do anything for you. Then you left me."
D: D: D: D: D:
"You want to keep things alive. You want creatures to breathe and live. You wat species and races to build."
Uhh. Yeah?
"Because otherwise... why are we here?"
Sociopathsssss.
"Because that is what you did to us. You and Division left us suffering."
D:
"You are the universe, Doctor."
"Every Lupar on those ships, airlocked out into space."
D: D: D:
Poor Karvanista D:
I feel like BBCA should not be showing the trailer for the New Year's special yet. Hold off until the end of the episode. Just a suggestion.
Into Passenger!
"To them, I'm insignificant, but I'm not insignificant."
♥
"Nice blaster action. Where'd you train?"
"Laser Quest."
Vinder is so impressed by Diane ♥
"Your service to Sontar will end in success, or death."
"And the reward for success?"
"Death."
You need to work on your motivational speeches, Sontarans.
The Doctor interrogating Grand Serpent is a lot of fun.
"I will be the one interrogating you, Doctor. And I was a beloved ruler."
"Whoa! Ego klaxon!"
"How rude! Are you trying to kill me right now?"
"Hi! Please stop torturing me! Like immediately."
"Hi. You're cute."
"Thanks! So are you."
Aww ♥♥
"I've got such a crush on her."
Me too
Bel has no clue what's going on, lol.
Dan, now's not the time.
"The Sontarans proposing a peace summit, that doesn't ring true."
No, it doesn't, does it?
I'm really enjoying this three-Doctors thing.
And now the Sontarans are abandoning Earth.
Bel's face when she hears Vinder's voice ♥_♥
And then everything goes bad :( Well, worse.
"Your vendettas are irrelevant." I wish more bad guys would say that.
"Where is Kate Stewart?"
"I've never heard of her."
Yess, protect Kate.
I mean, then he gives her up as he's dying, but he tries, poor guy.
"Can you not say things like we're supposed to know what they are?"
Lol. Say it with your whole chest, Yaz.
Aww. The Doctor thanking Williamson and sending him home was a really sweet scene.
I feel like the TARDIS going inside Passenger is a bad idea, but Bel and Vinder and Dan and Diane reuniting: totally worth it.
"Also, we're having a baby. If the universe survives."
"Better make sure it does, then."
Sontarans as the ultimate vanquishers. That would be pretty spectacular.
Kate's so clever. ♥♥♥
"Saving themselves while all around them die."
:/
"Save them to defeat the Sontarans?"
"No. My plan's more risky than that."
Of course it is. ♥
Vinder hears Grand Serpent and goes FUCK no.
Swarm and Azure's religion sounds really unpleasant.
RUN
I feel like it's out of character for the Daleks to accept the offer of protection but for plot reasons I accept it. At least it's immediately followed by them going "THIS IS A BETRAYAL".
"You are not in control. We are. And this is for my people!"
♥
Vinder's so delighted to be doing this, it's wonderful.
"Blasting Sontaran comms is the family business. Right, Tigmi?"
No, Jericho D:
"I have you now, nameless human."
"I, sir, am Professor Eustacius Jericho, scourge of scoundrels. I wish I'd written that autobiography, what a good title."
D:
Diane is so smart ♥
"Diane, you may have just saved the rest of the universe!"
"I always wondered what Time would look like. Huh. Way to play to your ego."
"And they didn't even bring you a cake!"
Time is pissed ♥ That's why you shouldn't play games with the universe, Swarm and Azure.
"Nice coat. Quite fancy that coat. Oh, I get how that ego appeal thing works now."
"You can leave here. But you won't outrun me. Your time is heading to its end."
"No. It's not. You're wrong."
"Nothing is forever."
...
WELL then.
Yaz looks so confused. I don't blame you.
"I had a reckoning with Time."
Yaz just looks like "...ok?"
Vinder has unfinished business with you, Grand Serpent :) And Kate's not playing around either. :) Open door seven.
"I'm the man who understand the pain of exile."
Niiice.
You're stuck with Vinder and Bel for good, Karvanista, and you know it.
"I like this regeneration. I hope I meet it again."
"I hope so too."
:(
Back to Dan in the museum.
"I thought we could finally get that drink."
"Do you mind if we don't?"
:(
"Where you going?"
"No idea."
"Wanna come?"
:D
And Dan gets a bedroom! Aww.
And the Doctor apologizes for not telling Yaz about everything she was doing/dealing with! OMG.
"I shouldn't have shut you out."
"No! You shouldn't have."
And she still doesn't know how to talk about it, but she wants to tell Yaz everything, and awww. (That was a very shippy scene, I'm not usually one for shipping the Doctor but that was...quite shippy.)
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT FOB WATCH DOCTOR.
"Do me a favor. Keep this safe. Somewhere deep within this TARDIS. Somewhere I can never find it."
That's objectively probably the best thing but
damn
"Unless I really ask for it."
D:
And so concludes Flux. I don't know about you guys but I'm pretty happy with it. I want to sit down and watch the whole thing back to back and see how it hangs together when I'm less riding an adrenaline high with it, but right now I'm pretty happy with it.
