Doctor Who “Wish World” review: The Last of the Time Lords (redux)

Summary

Nutrition label

54% Informative

“ Wish World ” is a bizarro remake of “The Sound of Drums / Last of the Time Lords .

We open in Bavaria, 1865 , where a cloak-wearing woman on horseback rides through a forest to a remote cabin.

The Doctor heads to work in UNIT HQ, suitably redecorated as a 1950s office despite the sci-fi trappings in the periphery.

“73 Yards” is set in 2025 , with a society that values women for their utility, birthing and taking care of men.

Conrad , being the show’s avatar of so many alt-right figures, has built a reality to reflect his worldview.

Even Mrs. Flood , a Time Lady in her own right, is relegated to the thankless role of “mother”.

“ Wish World ” picks up on another recurring theme in the show, which is to ask.

Conrad ’s utopia may have lovely weather, but everyone is dressed in uncomfortable clothes and at perpetual risk of being kidnapped off the street by police.

The Doctor, trapped on the balcony, tries to break back into the tower and stop the Rani but it's too late.
