getting intense twelve-era episode vibes. we have an unpleasant obvious foil to the doctor (the half-faced man from deep breath; ‘josiah smith’) we have a theme of tension between science and religion (robot of sherwood; evolution and horror) we have manipulation of the companion’s past and ‘facing fears’ (the entire premise of listen; ace’s traumatic childhood memory of gabriel chase) it’s so very series 8. i once read that season 26 of classic feels spiritually more like ‘series -1’ of nu and this is really proving that point. so many themes going on. class and gender and race and colonialism and darwinism and christianity and ableism and victorian social mores and uncomfortable history and the monster in the attic. gothic science fiction in the jekyll and hyde vein. they’ve got it all

is it a coincidence that Light is dressed in ceremonial robes similar to those of a time lord and looks kind of like pertwee (the incarnation stuck on earth no less!) if you squint and is glowing with yellow regeneration energy. 👀 looking. something something time lords = victorian society stagnating in its ways = conservative english village morality has been the same for a billion years = the neanderthal speaks more poetically and thinks more creatively than any member of the “superior race” = the doctor as a mediator between all of these clashing sides. and ace alone reliving her trauma. evolving through immersion therapy

Sliding out of her thoughts, she noticed that another person had joined them. A uniformed army officer whom she did not recognise was standing beside Christopher. A handsome, dark-haired man with ice-cold eyes and an arrogant demeanour. Under his arm he carried a battered file embossed with the initials ‘MoD’. She wondered what he had been told or what he assumed but had never asked. And what was he doing in her office? She had run out of words. She had never felt so achingly, wearisomely alone.
Marc Platt, Downtime
