Doctor Who – season 15, episode 2 – Lux

The quest to get Belinda home leads her and the Doctor to an abandoned cinema from the Miami in the year 1952, when the nuclear power was still in the beginning and segregation was still a bad rule, a cinema hiding a terrifying secret connected with 15 people disappearing. I don’t complain about the episode, the special effects were good enough to watch and the action was cute.

The episode has some beautiful things, but it also has some bad or at least not so serious items. Mr Ring-A-Ding (Alan Cumming) is let loose on a room full of unsuspecting cinemagoers in this episode 2 from the 15th season of New Doctor Who, but who could believe that a cartoon could become real with the human technology 73 years ago, even if Lux was connected with people like Maestro and Sutekh you met in the 14th season? After the god of music and the god of death we meet the god of light, and he gets to his end to the end of the episode not before he is transforming the Doctor and Belinda into cartoons.

Them escaping from being those cartoons is pretty cute, especially them meeting their imaginary fans who still love the episode Blink even Disney+ started to be involved in the show and probably the Americans would have love a duck being loved like some of them are loving their duck president.

Remember that old films can burn if the celluloid is set on fire, and that help the Doctor and Belinda escape. You should remember and don’t fire your matches close to that in real life.

For the rest of the details you better watch the episode. You may like it or not, your choice, but even it’s a worse episode for you the following ones may be better. For example, in the episode the Doctor and Belinda travel to one of the most dangerous planets in the universe… The Well premieres on the 26th April on BBC iPlayer in the UK and Disney+ where available.
