"How much power do you imagine I have?"
"You inspire, make people question, rise up. You give them hope, and that can be problematic."
-- The Thirteenth Doctor and Tecteun, Doctor Who: "Survivors of the Flux"
Hello again, everyone! My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with the 250th episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast! This time, we discuss "Survivors of the Flux", Chapter Five of "Flux", the fifth episode from Doctor Who Series 13, featuring Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, Mandip Gill as Yasmin "Yaz" Khan, John Bishop as Dan Lewis, and the return of Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart!
In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like reaching our 250th episode, my concern that Chris Chibnall isn't going to check all of his plot point boxes in "The Vanquishers", Season 6 of Lost and how HBO's Watchmen showed how to wrap up a miniseries story, Sony Pictures Television purchasing Bad Wolf Productions, the contradiction of the Brigadier being a corporal in 1967, the Brigadier's audio clip being taken from "Terror of the Autons", the reference to the Post Office Tower and "The War Machines", the Doctor being transformed into a Weeping Angel for transport outside the universe, the Doctor being Tecteun's experiment and the Doctor's companions being the Doctor's experiments, the explanations for the Division and the Division creating the Flux, Tecteun having a Gallifreyan fob watch holding the Doctor's lost memories, the cliffhanger of Swarm killing off Tecteun, Yaz calling out Dan for constantly talking about being from Liverpool, wondering how Yaz, Dan and Professor Jericho are able to afford adventuring across the world for 3 years, the greatness of Kumar the hermit, Joseph Williamson being happy that Yaz understands what they're facing, the Grand Serpent inserting himself into UNIT's timeline to eventually dismantle it, the Grand Serpent's ability to teleport snake creatures inside people to kill them, Kate calling out the Grand Serpent and going off the grid in 2017, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Dave Proctor, Sandi Gray and Holly Mac, Jesse maxing out his Set Lusting Bruce episode storage for November, Jesse joining DJ Nik on The Fandom Zone Podcast to discuss Hawkeye, running down all the unresolved "Flux" plot threads, our thanks to everyone for listening to our 250 episodes, and more!
