I just rewatched Flux in a single-day binge and I'm gonna be honest it holds up and holds together way better than I expected it to. And it REALLY lends itself well to a binge.
I kind of miss this version of Doctor Who already, and as much as I've really enjoyed the first two episodes of RTD2 I'm also kinda disappointed that we're now gonna spend another 4+ years watching Davies continue to solidify his voice as being synonymous with that of this show, rather than let new voices expand what Doctor Who can be and make more weird messy things like Flux that, whether you like the season or not, definitely represents a bold and fresh direction.
I can't wait for the Whittaker/Chibnall era to experience a re-evaluation, and it absolutely deserves one, but I have a feeling y'all aren't ready for that conversation yet.
Holy shit, village of the angels was so FUCKING good, like this is the first time since blink that they’ve actually been scary and I think if it wasn’t for the cutaway scenes to the other flux related stuff going on, I’d like it more than blink. Like, I hope we one day get a version of that story that’s more self contained like a target novelization or something cuz hot damn that was the shit!
On the night of Halloween, The Doctor and Yaz face a new terrifying force and an ancient evil breaking out threatens the existence of the universe, and for new companion Dan Lewis, his life is about to change forever. The first episode of Series 13, “Flux: The Halloween Apocalypse” premiered on this day, 2 Years Ago.
I'm doing an episode bracket for Doctor Who! The highest ranking episodes will be put up against each other! I'll probably have to split up the results in half, but we will see how it turns out!
