2MTL 465: Re: Flux ("The Vanquishers")
Two-minute Time Lord - December 16, 2021 03:07 - 6 minutes ★★★★★ - 86 ratingsSometimes the best TARDISes are crowded I'm not entirely sure who "The Vanquishers" applies to, TBH. Anyhoo, I took a little extra time to think about Chapter 6, and Flux as a whole, and why I ultimately think this effort to put eight pounds of plot into a six-pound bag succeeded despite itself.
2MTL 464: Steeling for the Finale ("Survivors of the Flux")

Two-minute Time Lord - November 13, 2021 13:59 - 3 minutes ★★★★★ - 86 ratingsIn which the laudable advancement of the Doctor Who: Flux story and the "rehabilitation" of the Sontarans as villains bumps straight into how I feel about war movies.
2MTL 460: The Opposite of Episodic ("The Halloween Apocalypse")
Two-minute Time Lord - October 31, 2021 20:41 - 3 minutes ★★★★★ - 86 ratingsNow this is a story all about how. My life got flipped turned upside down. Big, bold, and entirely un-self-contained, Doctor Who: Flux's first chapter may not have been the most welcoming to new viewers but is a very proper lead-off to the show's first modern miniseries.

Two-minute Time Lord - August 22, 2020 02:42 - 4 minutes ★★★★★ - 86 ratings"Always, scribble, scribble, scribble! Eh! Chloe Webber?" After a couple of months away to recharge the batteries, there's no more jarring compare-and-contrast to Doctor Who of 2020 than Doctor Who of 2006's "Fear Her."

Two-minute Time Lord - March 02, 2020 03:29 - 4 minutes ★★★★★ - 86 ratingsSuddenly, there's much, much more to the Doctor--and yet this new "retcon" to the Doctor's past winds up being staggeringly respectful to everything that's gone before on television. Let's talk about a challenge to The Master--and to Doctor Who fans themselves.
2MTL 450: Point of No Return
Two-minute Time Lord - February 24, 2020 02:23 - 3 minutes ★★★★★ - 86 ratingsExecution: pretty darn good! Cybermen: terrifying! Confidence that Part Two will stick the landing: (flailing gestures)?
