The doctor who causes Agatha Christie’s respect also linked the story thread

The most interesting thing is to be a traveler on time, this is something you can often put on important tasks as much as you want. It was a part of Amy (Karen Gilan) at the beginning of the “Doctor who” 5; The next day she had a second thought about marrying Rory, so the doctor’s promise that she could travel through space and time until she wanted in advance seemed a big deal.

The rest of the season eventually was considered by Amy’s doubts about Rory, but it ended again with the heroes who are postponed. This time it was a doctor who held his sweet time, bypassing an important task: in the finals he receives a phone call (seemingly from the future Queen or King of England) regarding the emergency. In the future, there is perhaps a train that runs into space called “Orient Express”, and a reasonable mummy runs around, killing passengers one by one.

Seems to be a business immediately, huh? Well, the doctor does not do with him until 8. By this point the doctor has a brand new face And a brand new companion, but as far as the man knows on the phone, he came right away.

The episode of the 8 season became an interesting case of the show, which paid the line that threw it long after the casual fans remembered it. As long as the “Mummy on Orient Express”, which aired in 2014, the only people who could appreciate the joke were the fans of Hardcore, who remembered these months at the fan forums after the “Big Bang”. Speaking about what the annual Christmas episode will be, many fans suggested that it would be inspired by Agatha Christie, only disappointed when he went in the other direction. (Of course was so good that fans were hard to complain.)

Another factor that eased to forgive the delay of the show on the Orient Express story line is that until the final of the 5 season, it wasn’t even long as the show last pulled the episode of Agatha Christie Tribute. The story of the 4 season of “unicorn and ace” was the mystery of the murder, delivered in the 1920s, in which Christie herself participated (Fennel Vulgar played here).

The episode was based on a “crooked house”, a novel that is not as famous as “Murder on Orient Express“But which, however, managed to get his own film adaptation in 1982 under the name” Evil Under the Sun “. Gareth Edwards Gareth Edwards told how he intentionally chose a comedy tone, and that he and the show-rainer Russell T. Davis tried to squeeze so much links to the books. They do not relate to the fact that they do not treat fans.

This is the perfect episode to sit and rest, and in the 4th season it serves the last light story before everything is darkened. The next three episodes (“Silence in the Library”, “Forest of the dead”, “North”) were all horribleAnd then the show came out on a very dramatic, high -performance final of the season. The “unicorn and the wasp” had to become the last point when the donne and the doctor felt simple and carefree, and it certainly succeeded in this regard.

When the “Doctor who” made his episode Christie in the 8th season, with a 12 doctor finally came to the 5th season, he was in a much darker period of the heroes. “Mummy on Orient Express” became the first episode after “Kill The Moon”, an episode where Clara and Doctor Great fell out. The episode is part of the period when Clara is very close to leaving the doctor forever, and the doctor fights more than when -either whether he is a good person. (This is perhaps a great thematic issue of the season 8.)

The result is that this episode is interesting, but it is unlikely to laugh. Clara and the doctor come into serious arguments, and when one -time characters died in this episode, it is honestly containing. Here, writer Jamie Metison used the general prerequisite for Christie as an opportunity to explore the difficult, life issues, or death, which doctors and Clara struggle with the whole season; The duo can end the story on a positive note, but they go on a difficult journey to reach this item.

In general, the seasons 4 and 8 were dealing with two very different arcs for the main duo. Season 4 became the last season of ten doctors, and all about the public enjoy it before he goes. Meanwhile, season 8 was about Kapaldi to prove himself to the audience, convincing us (and Clara) to follow. The result was the 8th episode “Christie”, which was much frightened and more intense than the one before it. The storyline may have been introduced in the 5th season as part of a joke, but the actual episode became a strange gloomy business.
