nyan yawn
doctor who.
prevously on tdoctor who
team doctor are in Triangle Church, and team thanos is about to kill them
Triangle Church is where Time is
like
this is whats in triangle church
if your familiar with the myth of Atlas who has to carry the entire concept of Sky on his shoulders
that's what the four aliens in triangle church do with time
look at their weird alien collar things
i'm gonna pretend it's like a horse feeding bag and you put food into it.
instead of it just being weird alien fashion design that looks weird so you know it's alien
so team thanos had like killed all of them, and so time was getting all fucky
and then put Yaz and Vinder onto the time pedestal so that team thanos could control time briefly to control the tardis to bring Doctor and Dan (it's dan!), to the triangle temple,
and then the cliffhanger in the last episode is that team thanos was about to like, snap the last little string holding time up, meaning yaz and vinder would get crushed under the full weight of all time
so in the half a second before that happens, the doctor picks up dan, puts him on the third pedestal, and then the doctor hops onto the fourth pedestal
it's like how bomb countdowns slow down a lot in the last crucial seconds
except here that last second stretched into an entire week as viewers waited for the next episode to air
so now that all four members of team doctor are on the time pedestal, and the doctor is with them to carry the entire burden of time, they are safe from getting dusted by team thanos
however now the doctor only has 1 hour (minus commercials) to hold up time before it all gets ruined
so once again, now that they are all in the time fucky dimension, the team gets split up into flashbacks so here we go one by one
Dan
it's dan
everyone's flashbacks are all like... off, like the background scenery keeps changing and characters get swapped out offscreen with completely different characters and it's weird and it's supposed to be like that cause it's time dimension and time is fucky
all we learn about dan's flashbacks are that he and that girl from episode have feelings for each other but aren't like official or anything... unless...??
oh yeah but she got kidnapped by thanos's sister back in episode one
also dan ends up in those weird tunnels with the Rich Guy from 1820, who says more cryptic stuff and wields a laser gun, shooting at stuff off screen, before time jumps to a different scene. nice seeing you rich guy, see you next episode i guess?
Yaz
in yaz's flashback we learn that yaz hates video games, and she never plays them
and weeping angels keep showing up in her flashbacks trying to get her
Vinder
vinder is the new character who was on that space outpost all alone back in episode one, and then took that escape pod to escape the thanos dust wave and ended up in the triangle church. we learn his backstory now
he was in the Space Army and then became Space Senator's Bodyguard, and then witness Space Senator doing Corrupt Dealings and Arranging Innocents To Be Murdered
and so vinder was like hey that's bad and corrupt
and space senator was like haha, you can't report me, i'm corrupt
and so vinder was imprisoned on that space outpost all alone
Doctor
Doctor is experiencing flashbacks to her super past from her secret lives before The First Doctor that her memories of all got erased
through her flashback she re-experiences the time when her past self defeated Team Thanos in the first place way back then
Back with 0th Doctor, Thanos, Thanos Sister had taken over triangle church, killed all the time atlas aliens, and also taken FIVE MILLION HOSTAGES
remember that third guy i mentioend, who showed up without any real explanation
well Third Guy's name is Passenger, and there were actually five Passengers back then
and each Passenger is like, a portal to another world or like a prison filled with people who have been shrunk or something
in any case
like a million hostages in each Passenger
and team thanos is like
haha we have 5 million hostages
look how much we don't give a shit about negotating. poot. poot. just dusted two passengers. that's two million hostages
0th doctor: okay well, you've forced my hand, time to pull out my ace in the sleeve, which i had this entire time
you should have been careful who you stuffed into your Third Guys cause, hiding amongst them are MORE TIME ATLAS ALIENS!!! yeah hop on out!
and then 0th doctor does like a sonic screwdriver thing and 4 fresh new time atlas aliens hop out and stand on the pedestals
and 0th doctor is like 'objective secured'
and then dog guy and two time lords break in and are like 'yeah! it's me, dog guy! and two time lords! bam bam! capture gun!'
and team thanos says Fucking god dammit shit! we would have gotten away with it too if you hadn't hidden more time atlas aliens in our hostage carriers to replace the time atlas aliens that we killed and also your dog too
and then thanos and thanos sister got imprisoned for a bazillion years and 0th doctor had her memories wiped
after this flashback, the doctor then has another flashback, encountering a Cryptic Old Woman who is messing around with some fancy technology buttons and saying "the thanos dust wave, i did that, that was me, not thanos. the visual effects of the two look basically the same so i can understand why you would think that thanos was doing the big dust wave that was eating all those planets, but that was actually me and these buttons right here. also i'm implying that i specifically was the one who wiped your memories or something.'
'also thanos like, works for me. the specific relationship between me, the dust wave, and team thanos and our dusting powers will be revealed later i guess. now go away'
the doctor is now back in the green screen room where she floats around the time bullshit storm and there are some more Time Atlas Alien Species here and they say 'the episode is about to end'
doctor: "hey lets do that same trick that 0th doctor pulled in my flashback'
time atlas aliens: "sounds good."
----------
Now back in the present, the Third Guy that team thanos has, like, poots out four fresh new replacement time atlas people, freeing team doctor from the time pedestals
Thanos: "bewwhehe..... this was all part of my plan, buh byeee'
then thanos and thanos sister dissappear
i'm not sure if they took third guy with them
wasn't looking at that corner of the screen when they teleported
then team doctor all go back to the tardis and vinder gets to go into the tardis for the first time
"oh hey a tardis, that's cool'
nice
usually it's "omg it's bigger on the inside! omg!!!"
and "omg it's smaller on the outside' that one time
so i'm glad they still come up with new ways to have characters react to seeing the tardis for the first time
they drop vinder off at his home planet, which looks like shit after the dust wave like, destroyed every building. at least the ground is still intact. they give vinder a phone to call the doctor and then leave
then, on yaz's phone, a weeping angel from her flashbacks hops out and grabs the tardis controls, taking Yaz, Dan, Doctor to episode 4
oh
also throughout this episode were interspersed scenes with a New Character, Bel
who was wandering around a post-Dust Wave universe
where all the planets are fucked up and time is all fucky because the pedestals only had pathetic mortals on them for a couple hours
Bel is searching for someone who she loves
and she has a tamogotchi
and we aren't given any explanation about who she is or what her deal is besides 'she's searching for someone who she loves and she has a tamogotchi'
and then in the final scene it's like big reveal... vinder is the one she loves.. and she's pregnant... and... the... tamogotchi is the baby?????
??
i
i
i think the tamogotchi is the baby
but
maybe it's just a tamogotchi
like is it a fancy hi-tech future space baby monitor
so
it's basically a sci-fi tamogotchi except the baby in the tamogotchi is not a virtual pet, but your unborn child, who speaks in emojis
idk what species vinder is besides 'one of the million alien species who are exactly like humans in every way except for just one thing'
maybe their 'one thing' is that the babies come out the wazoo already snapchatting and posting on baby twitter
----
oh yeah a new little monster showed up, Time Mites. these firefly blue glowy dots, they fly around and obliterate anyone who doesn't belong in the timeline, which, after time has gotten fucked up, is , everyone. they killed two nameless people so that you know 'oh those things kill people' and then they just hover around menacingly in a handful of flashbacks but everyone just hides/ignores them and don't get eaten.
I bring them up because i guess they'll be more important in a later episode and also i already said Villain: Thanos in part one
----
Hanging Plot Threads:
Dan's girlfriend, kidnapped by thanos, turns out they put her into Third Guy
random lady who met the doctor in the past: attacked by weeping angel in episode one, and hasn't been seen since... until the 'next time on doctor who' teaser.
some rich guy in 1820: digging random tunnels for some reason, showed up mysteriously in triangle church, has a ray gun, still don't know his deal.
sontarans: still dead
some guy on a space station: congrats on the baby, vinder. i hope you find your partner and her tamogatchi
Funny Floating House: didn't show up again
New plot thread!
Cryptic Old Lady in the time storm: mystery? she made the dust wave? is thanos's boss? and might be the one who wiped doctor's 0th lives from memory? still mysterious?
----
Overall Rating:
Villain: Time Mites
Death Rate: 2 million hostages, 2 nameless people, 6 cybermen (killed by Bel, the tamogotchi lady), one ps4 (yaz's flashback), 9 people killed through the corrupt machinations of Space Senator
Birth Rate: four new time atlas aliens, vinder's baby tamogotchi
Overall death rate: 2 million + 2 + 6 + ps4+ 9 = 2mil + 21... minus 4 minus 1... = 2 million and 16
Overall Rating: Dan/10
Moral of the story: if the doctor defeats in one way, don't let it happen in the exact same way again. except like. thanos was like 'bwahah all part of my plan' so. idk. idk
we still don't know what thanos's ultimate goal is
is a mystery
still a good moral of the story for all of you would be hostage takers out there
even if the lesson doesn't apply directly to the characters in the fable, that doesn't mean the lesson wasn't there!
If you kidnap a bunch of people, make sure none of them are time atlas people, cause they'll just hop out of your Third Guy when you least expect it and stand on a pedestal and ruin everything
