Eve of the Daleks traps the Doctor in a nine-minute time loop in a Manchester storage facility, and it’s the most fun this era has been in ages.
The Vanquishers has to resolve every thread Flux started and does it in under an hour. Three Doctors, four villains, and almost no room to land any of it.
Survivors of the Flux finally explains Division and the Doctor’s lost past, then buries the answer under three more subplots racing toward the finale.
Village of the Angels strands a Weeping Angel in a Devon village in 1967 and finally lets Flux be frightening. Easily the best chapter of the run.
Once, Upon Time scatters the Doctor and her friends through their own timestreams. There are strong ideas buried in here, but the hour is hard going.
War of the Sontarans drops the Doctor into the Crimean War and gives the Sontarans their best outing in years, even as Flux keeps splitting itself apart.
The Halloween Apocalypse opens Doctor Who Flux by throwing a dozen plots at the screen at once. Dan Lewis is a fine addition, but it never breathes.
