Doctor Who The Flux

 It seemed to me that there was no word about when the new season of Doctor Who would be on, then suddenly a few weeks ago, it's on Halloween and there are only six episodes. 

There will apparently be some specials, but it's all very fragmented and the thirteenth Doctor should get more respect, I feel.


The Flux was an absolute whirlwind of an episode. It begins with The Doctor and Yaz suspended upside down, in handcuffs, over a toxic green planet that they're about to be dropped into. As a backup should they survive that, small whirling weapons are trained on them, plus the planet is about to be destroyed.

They pick up a new companion this episode, Dan, a goodhearted wiseguy who has been caged and kidnapped by a dog.  When I saw the previews I thought the Karvanista was a wookiee!

There is a Weeping Angel and a Sontaran.

There's another new alien called Swarm, who, with his sister, may be behind the Flux (?).

It will be interesting to see if all six episodes have this pace.
