Why Doctor Who: Flux Didn't Live Up to Its Ambition

Disasters of the Universe (Unleashing "Doctor Who: Flux"): What the Flux? No, seriously, what was the actual Flux that happened in Series 13, and why has the Randomizer brought us here now? Can Chris Chibnall’s sprawling Time vs. Space opera even be explained? And did anyone notice the 7 billion dead dogs? Join your totally professional tour guides to Liverpool — er, Doctor Who — as we journey down the time tunnels to the ancient world of 2021 and summarize the whole story in our longest TL;DW yet. Like Evil Dan, we’re good at this!
