Doctor Who XXXIX/13/Flux.5: Survivors of the Flux

Dec 05, 2021 04:04

Chapter Five of Doctor Who: Flux, Survivors of the Flux, returns to the frenetic jumping between settings seen in chapters one and three. A greater sense of urgency is balanced by disconcerting shifts in relative time. Yaz, Dan and Jericho have to cover more ground across more time than anyone else. The Doctor’s experience en route to and at Division is brief, but Bel’s journey takes very little time. Swarm and Azure require minimal screen time to achieve their goal, revealed as reaching Division by means of a psychotemporal bridge tethered to the Doctor. It’s only the humans who have to take the slow path. The Grand Serpent might take over sixty years to see his plan come to fruition, but Kate suspects he’s taken several short cuts.
