I’d love to be wrong, and if I am wrong it would certainly improve my feelings toward this episode. Finally, Tecteun is able to test her work on herself, regenerating. And that’s a problem I’ve actually had with this season in general – none of the big reveals having much of an impact on the characters. The last remaining humans are hunted down. And in this episode, that melancholy borders on suicidal anger as we get to see how hurt he is by the reveal that one of he is literally made from some of the Doctor’s DNA. Even Ashad, who had been such a menacing threat in the previous two episodes, gets completely shoved aside after a few minutes of screen time, getting shrunk by the Master as part of his grand plan.

Doctor Who S12E10: “The Timeless Children” Proves Chris Chibnall is the Doctor’s Worst Enemy Take your toys and go home, please. The Master warns that’ll make them just robots, so he shrinks the Lone Cyberman down. We see rapid flashes from last week’s episode with Brendan and his father in the police station, and the pieces start to fit together. Where we last left off, the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Ryan (Tosin Cole), and Ethan (one of the human survivors of the CyberWar, played by Matt Carver) were standing in front of the Boundary, a mysterious gateway between worlds/galaxies guarded by Ko Sharmus (Ian McElhinney), face-to-face with the Master (Sacha Dhawan) who is ready to explain what terrible secret he learned about the Time Lords caused him to destroy the planet. She asks the Master if doing this quenches the rage inside but it does make him happy. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Change ), You are commenting using your Twitter account. Nor do I think the Doctor learning she’s the Timeless Child will have much of an impact on her character. There was a time when it was enough for the TARDIS crew’s lives to be at risk, but lately it seems the Doctor won’t get out of bed for anything less than a planetary extinction event. So, in that context, why should we think the reveals in this episode will be treated any differently next season? https://www.geekgirlauthority.com/gga-crush-of-the-week-claire-redfield/, The incredible @audreykearns from @GeekGirlAuth has been point for point with the amazing @staceyabrams in the #StarTrek trivia contest during this #TrektheVote event and it’s flat out impressive. Just wish they had better material to work with. The Lone Cyberman tells him that he holds a device, The Death Particle, that will destroy all organic matter. The Cybermen aspect of this episode wasn’t super interesting to me either. The first ever person on Gallifrey to do so, recites the Master. Stone has a good eye for grounding action scenes in the experiences of the characters performing the actions, demonstrated perfectly in the scene where Ryan successfully blows up a squadron of Cybermen. With that in mind, The Timeless Children had a lot to tie up: it needed to reveal the secret behind the Timeless Child; it needed to reveal what Ashad’s plan was and how he would be defeated; it needed to reveal who Brendan (Evan McCabe), the mysterious man shown throughout last week’s episode, fit into everything and how the Ruth Doctor (Jo Martin) fit in with the established history of the Doctor; and, most of all, it had to be a good episode.

She is shown a scene in which (she) the Timeless Child, and her adoptive mother (now in male form), start secret work for “The Division.”. s12e10 - The Timeless Children; Doctor Who Show Summary. Every time the show cut away from the Master/Doctor plotline, it lost a good chunk of steam and nothing that was going on with the companions and the Cybermen proved interesting enough to justify cutting away from the Master and the Doctor. Obviously, the latter plotline is far more interesting than the former and it proved rather frustrating every time the show would cut from one to the other. But who was that Timeless child? It’s a joy to watch him onscreen. REVIEW: “Doctor Who” S12E10 – The Timeless Children. She discovers the Master’s plan, and sends the humans in a swanky new Tardis back to present-day Earth after destroying the Cyber war-craft. On the one hand, that’s empowering but on the other hand, it’s a bit frustrating for all of this build-up to result in a reveal that will likely be mostly ignored. ( Log Out /  Together, the three traversed time and space continuing the fight against evil... that is, until the Ponds leave. As the surviving refugees get to work removing human remains from inside the Cyber-suits, Graham and Yaz share a heart-warming scene about bravery. #MadMax #furiosa Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. So, there are still many questions left yet to explore in Season 13 and onward. We could learn more about the Doctor’s time with the Division. Dumbfounded, she later decks the Master for more information, a wonderful outburst played by Whittaker. As the last remaining humans are ruthlessly hunted down, Graham (Bradley Walsh), Ryan (Tosin Cole), and Yaz (Mandip Gill) face a terrifying fight to survive. Underneath the boundary was an abandoned little girl. These scenes grant Stone the opportunity to deliver some trippy images. He brings this really deep melancholy to the character that feels really appropriate, given everything he’s learned. They already don’t seem to matter that much by the episode’s end. It uprooted everything we thought we knew about the show before somewhat-disappointingly reverting to the usual status quo. I hear you. Where I think all of this falls flat is that it feels like it doesn’t matter. Soon after when the Earth is threatened with alien invasion Donna returns to the Doctor to help save the planet. While I’m still not sure Chibnall entirely has a grasp on The Master, especially one set after Missy’s redemption arc, it’s hard to deny how electric Sacha Dhawan is in the role. A fleet of Judoon have finally located their fugitive, the Doctor, and in the blink of an eye she is transported to a prison cell in a maximum-security facility.

RELATED: Keep up with all of our Season 12 Recaps here! But I just have a gut feeling that this won’t actually be that monumental in the long run, and that totally undercuts the effectiveness of these reveals. What is a problem is the episode’s structure; it’s really weird and disjointed. He wants to use it to create a new Cyber race, with no humanity. His consciousness meets hers in the Matrix, a Time Lord database which stores all their memories. And given how quick The Timeless Children reset itself to the normal status quo, I just don’t see the show being too concerned with exploring these ideas much further, which is a huge shame considering how interesting they are. But as for the rest of these ideas? https://twitter.com/geekgirlauth/status/1316042328562434049, October may have some tricks, but the video games releasing this month are real treats!
