As if the many storylines we had going already weren’t enough to keep track of, we now get a new character named Bel (Thaddea Graham), a woman that is fighting for survival in a post-apocalyptic world that consists of Daleks and Cybermen fighting for power. “Once, Upon Time” opens in a way that already had me scratching my head.
The frustration and confusion I experienced watching this episode make this the weakest episode of Doctor Who: Flux so far, and one that I fear this season won’t be able to recover from.ĭoctor Who: Flux, and this new episode, can be watched on BBC, streamed through the official BBC site, or on the Crave streaming service. However, that episode feels like a walk in the park compared to “Once, Upon Time,” which feels like a walk in a full-blown labyrinth. When Doctor Who: Flux premiered with the episode “The Halloween Apocalypse,” I expressed frustration in having to keep up with too many plotlines and characters. And unfortunately, that causes an unforgivable level of confusion that makes this episode a complete mess. This episode has so many jumps between storylines that you’re going to need a map to keep up. Seriously, look away for just a moment, and you will be completely lost.
When a Weeping Angel shows up in Doctor Who, the Doctor always gives the same advice: “ Don’t blink!” That is the exact same advice I have when you watch “Once, Upon Time,” the latest entry into Doctor Who: Flux.
