Doctor Who: 10 Huge Questions After Spyfall Part One
1. How Will The Rest Of The Series Pan Out?
With the return of the two-part story format and the cliff-hanger
we can look forward to more revelations and mysteries concerning the Master and
the unknown aliens. We should find out at the very least what the aliens are
defending themselves against and why they are taking over the spies of Planet
Earth. We should learn the truth behind the 7% alien DNA of Daniel Barton and
exactly what otherworld Yaz and the Doctor have been transported to, Stranger
Things-like.
But there were some notable shifts in Spyfall from series 11 that surely set the tone for the rest of the season. Some of the shortcomings of Chibnall’s first season at the reins look to have been addressed head-on. The fourth wall was almost broken when O questioned Graham’s role in providing commentary on events, a frequent criticism of the 2018 series. The overused sonic, still the Doctor’s go-to gadget has shown its shortcomings already, replaced by a car mirror in one action scene, and made obsolete on more than one occasion by the Master.
Yaz looks to be getting much more screen-time this year, another thing that many fans were crying out for, and now that Graham and Ryan have resolved their differences we can look forward to a greater variety when it comes to which characters are paired up. Yaz and Ryan work really well together in Spyfall, but let’s hope we see more of Graham and Yaz together than the brief scenes in Demons of the Punjab.
