It is also a bit annoying in how it just doesn't really follow up on anything meaningful from Series 12 here. Dan is fun, and that helps salvage an otherwise waste of our time a bit, but other than that it is really hard to value an episode I had fun with at first knowing that none of these plots points are going anywhere fun. It's a shame too, because the Swarm has a cool start to him, I feel. It was a welcome moment of colour and energy that felt sorely missing from Jodie's first two years on the show, and at the time it came out I was excited to hopefully get something meaningful to get with Jodie before her time with the show was done. As it stands though, it is just a slightly memorable moment from a terrible time in Doctor Who history. dema1020 View profile Like Liked 2 Open in new window Statistics AVG.

If you think you have won this little skirmish, you are very much mistaken. Do not imagine for a second that you have got the better of us. Right, Yaz?YASMIN: Oh, yeah. We are totally in command.KARVANISTA [OC]: Is that right? Cos from where I'm hovering, you seem to be handcuffed and footlocked to a gravity bar, which in 79 seconds will release you into the boiling acid ocean directly below, where your bodies will instantly disintegrate. Even if you survive that - which you won't - in four minutes' time the entire planet will be engulfed by a nearby giant red star. Oh, and if you try and escape, my Kill Disks will blast you to pieces. (Flying machines with twirling blades.) KARVANISTA [OC]: Meanwhile, I am now far away, travelling towards what will in future be known as the final hours of planet Earth.BOTH: What?KARVANISTA [OC]: Don't worry. You'll be long dead.DOCTOR: Oh. I must admit, Yaz, I can't help feeling that some of this is my fault.YASMIN: Some? All of this is your fault.DOCTOR: What d'you mean?YASMIN: Accidentally blowing up Karvanista's droid guards when we were trying to sneak into his operations base unnoticed?DOCTOR: It's very temperamental, Nitro-9.YASMIN: Suggesting we escape his base by air-surfing on this gravbar?DOCTOR: How was I to know that force shield would reboot at the exact moment we were heading towards it?YASMIN: And when we got captured, you had to mention the two sets of cuffs in your pocket.DOCTOR: Two words, Yaz, Trapezium Seven.YASMIN: Okay.DOCTOR: Trapezium Seven.
