MORE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS
And we pick up right where we left off, with the Doctor, Yaz, and Dan thrown out of the TARDIS (and the Time Vortex) and into the Crimean War! The end of the universe is still ongoing, I guess, it's just taking a little while.
"Doctor is a man's term."
"It's flexible."
Time has been corrupted -- the Crimean War is now being fought by Sontarans.
Vinder doesn't look like he's in good shape.
"There's been a mass extinction event near where I was stationed."
:/
Dan isn't completely sure that the Sontarans aren't a native part of Earth's history. Why is that so cute?
Oh shit what's happening to Dan and Yaz?
"You're falling through space and time. Yaz, stay calm, I will find you!"
"Promise?"
"I promise!"
"Where's the door! I need the door!" Last week: too many doors. This week: no doors.
What's going on in Yorkshire?
SONTARANS.
Dan's parents seem stressed, I wonder how long he's been gone?
Yaz is so frustrated by never know where/when she is, lol.
"All is porous. All is broken."
Is this the same place Vinder ended up? IT IS. Is this where our heroes start meeting each other?
"Madame, I am at work!"
"I know. I can smell the rum."
"How long have they been here? The Sontarans? [...] I mean on Earth."
"They've always been here."
Oh damn. That's not good.
No Russia, no China, only Sontar. But they still have a semi-memory of Russia. Interesting.
I love Mary Seacole and her Sontaran-capturing/healing ways.
"There is no such thing as pain! ...a little."
"You allowed an enemy combatant to escape!"
"I discharged my patient."
I love Mary Seacole.
"Who are you?"
"Me? I'm Mary Seacole's assistant?"
I haven't commented on this yet but I love the new design for the Sontarans. They look so awful. Like knees in tin cans. It's delightful.
Question answered: Dan's been gone two days.
"Did someone nick your house?"
Aw, Dan's parents figured out the Sontarans' probic vents.
I keep getting caught up watching and forgetting to make notes.
Yaz and Vinder have a great dynamic already but WHAT is going on here. TIME IS EVIL?!
"You have information regarding the treacherous vermin known as the Doctor."
"You're talking to her."
♥
Damn. The British Army sucks. Not that that's new, but...
VENUSIAN AIKIDO
Oh nooo don't trust Swarm and Azure they're bad news
Oh noooo
"Is it bad just to trust things and hope they don't self-destruct?"
Aw, Dan and the Doctor are on the same wavelength.
"Could it have been temporal command? Temporal as in time."
"Oh yeah. That makes more sense."
"Now I'm gonna WOK right outta here!" Oh, Dan.
Oh no, Yaz and Vinder, get out of there
WWTDD?
why do i feel so protective over these floating triangles stop disintegrating them
KARVANISTA TO DAN'S RESCUE
"You're welcome. Idiot."
Dan's little smile ♥
"Soldiers pay the price for their commanders' mistakes."
"I'm gonna need a pointy stick."
The way he awkwardly tries to play off putting his hands on his head...
"Gold star! AND a sticker! For Mrs. Seacole!"
"Did you just say 21st century?"
"Sh-sh-sh! She's talking!"
I love Mary Seacole.
Dan and Karvanista have such a fun dynamic.
"Retreat."
"That word shall never pass my lips. ...We shall make a strategic withdrawal."
Well, that was a dick move.
"That was for the men I lost today!"
"Your guilt, you mean! Sometimes men like you make me wonder why I bother with humanity."
"I am grateful that you do."
Aw. I really love Mary Seacole.
Yeah, seriously, what is happening to the TARDIS?
And Dan gets his formal TARDIS invite!
OBVIOUSLY a trap.
The Temple of Atropos is broken. Time is beginning to run wild.
WHAT DID THEY DO TO YAZ
"How many seconds will their bodies be able to take before they die, Doctor?" D:
Next week: Once, Upon Time
