Rather surprised that Chibnall didn’t tie the Timeless Child business to this story, or at least as far as I remember as it has been some time now. Maybe Chibnall was just really that proud of his own idea and wanted it to not tie to previous Who stories. Curious what future developments would have come had the show not been cancelled and they could follow up on the cryptic lines in this one.

2025-10-10 17:11:15 +0000 UTCThanks for another great reaction. To start I think Michael Myers would probably happily become a Cyberman, although he might retain his apparent immortality which would be terrifying lol! I like this story a lot, some very interesting characters etc but I'd ultimately agree that Remembrance of the Daleks just tips it in terms of slightly better execution. To answer your question, Yes, it was meant to be setting up the Doctor for some future reveal, but Classic Who ended before it could be established. So, unfortunately we never got to see how that might have differed from what was subsequently revealed in New Who. I do have some knowledge of what that might have been. May talk about that more in the future. I see we were both on the same page in terms of the spooky rating, which I gave last week. 4/10 being not great but some elements were on the creepy side. The next story however . . . Well, that would be spoilers! See you next time!

2025-10-10 16:40:11 +0000 UTCNoting that Seven here is Prospero and the Nemesis Statue is Ariel whom Prospero constantly denies freedom. Ariel, a spirit of air and fire, desires his liberty and pleads with Prospero to be free after performing his duties. Denying Ariel freedom allows Prospero to maintain control over his servant and exert his power, a central theme of the play. For Seven the play is not over yet. It is only just beginning.
