10 Huge Moments In Doctor Who That No One Cared About
7. The Flux
Okay, okay, Jodie and Chibnall's tenure in control of the TARDIS is not yet over, so there is still room to rectify this, but right now, this is a hugely glossed over plot point from Series 13.
For the first time in New Who, series 13 embarked on one interconnecting serialised arc, a refreshing change that updates Who to the style of other modern series. The series focused on the titular Flux, a huge apocalyptic event in Time and Space, described as a "hurricane ripping through the structure of the universe". Pretty cool right, Doctor Who is going pretty bold here. Well...
Obviously being a show which isn't entirely bleak, the Doctor and co stop the Flux, after it wipes out the combined forces of the Daleks, Cybermen and Sontarans, and finally when it is absorbed by a Passenger. The Passengers were an endless space intended to hold prisoners, and the vast space within was seemingly enough to "extingush" the chaos. Fair enough, but what about all the destruction?
Azure, states that the Ravagers would restore the universe after the final Flux event, but did that happen? The end of Series 13 is a little vague/confusing, and come the next episode, Eve of the Daleks, the events are barely mentioned.
The Daleks know a considerable amount of their fleet was destroyed (not the entirety we're originally led to believe) and Dan mentions how the Doctor saved the universe, but is that it? We just gloss over the cataclysm that just occurred? For now, yes.
