It would seem as if they all arrived after the Karvanista ships encased the earth. Now, this happens to be the first place the Sontaran soldiers appeared, six hours before everywhere else. In the present, Dan and his parents head down to Liverpool waterfront. Only, it’s much closer to a massacre than a fight, as the Sontarans make short work of these soldiers. Unfortunately, the British soldiers show and disrupt this parlay, arresting the Doctor and starting this bloody conflict. Given how much conflict this world has seen, Commander Skaak decided on the Crimean War as a start. All of this was meticulously planned to take advantage of the carnage and take over Earth. When the Doctor eventually meets the Sontaran commander, she learns that the creatures used their psychic command to time their attack right before the Lupari shield took effect on Earth. The Doctor tasks Mary Seacole to keep watch of the camp, where thousands and thousands of Sontarans bustle about below. Commander Skaak is the one in charge here and he makes quick work of the disgraced Sontaran soldier when he returns with news about the parlay.
And it happens to be hidden behind a camouflaged veil. The main purpose of this whole ruse is to find where the Sontar camp actually is. The crux of the issue here comes from the Doctor telling this Sontar soldier about the Doctor’s whereabouts. The Doctor decides to negotiate with the Sontaran, allowing him to leave in exchange for a parlay.
Alongside the Doctor is Mary Seacole, who’s there to nurse the wounded – including a chained Sontaran. Only, the General and his British legion still appear to retain information about Russia. On a map, Russia and China have been replaced with Sontar. Anyone else sensing this is Time Lord doing on Gallifrey?īack with the Doctor, she realizes that time has been rewritten and distorted. According to the spinning triangle, they’re from a planet responsible for harnessing and controlling time. It seems the holograms are part of a larger whole, the Mouri as mentioned, who are Guardian priests of the Temple of Atropos. Yaz is led down to the main chamber where she meets Vinder.
After checking her palm, and noticing letters “WWTDD” (what would the doctor do) she proudly proclaims that she can. Just like before, a priest triangle appears and asks Yaz if she can repair. So naturally, a wok is the perfect weapon in this skirmish.įor Yaz, she’s aboard the same temple we saw Officer Vinder on earlier in the episode. Anyway, Dan’s parents show up and save the day, bashing the Sontarans in their weak probic vent spot in the back of the neck. Sontarans march the streets, chasing after Dan and with an aim that would make a stormtrooper blush. For Dan, he shows in the middle of his street in present day Liverpool, complete with a Sontaran ship above Anfield stadium. A floating Priest Triangle, complete with an urgent voice, brings him down to the main chamber to try and repair a contraption that seems to house beings known simply as Mouri.ĭown on Earth, both Dan and Yaz suddenly disappear as, according to the Doctor, Flux and vortex energy collide to whisk them through time to Earth further along the timeline. Meanwhile, Officer Vinder awakens to find himself in a strange temple after the Flux Event. In reality, the Russianns no longer exist and in their wake are Sontarans, including those on horseback too. The year is 1855, right here on Earth, with the British fighting the Russians. They’re in the middle of a battlefield, and more specifically the middle of the Crimean War. Is Doctor Who back on track?įollowing the Flux event at the end of the previous episode, The Doctor awakens to find herself with Dan and Yaz thrown out the Tardis on a planet littered with bodies and rubble. There’s much better pacing and some genuinely menacing Sontarans. Episode 2 of Doctor Who Season 13 is a massive step-up for The Flux storyline after a messy, chaotic opener.
