As a result we’re left constantly on edge and unsettled, not knowing what dangers might lurk around the next corner – rather like the characters, in fact.
It is not until it isn’t there that you realise how much we rely on it to signpost an impending drama or a lighter moment. Spread everywhere.Ĭlara: And that’s what you want? You’re helping them wipe out humanity.The absence of incidental music is also unsettling from a viewer’s perspective. I just needed to find a way to get them off this station, back to Triton. And we’re to be their food, and that’s only correct. Rassmussen: You can’t fight them, Doctor. So you needed to get your story straight. There would inevitably be questions when you got to Triton. The Doctor: You had that prepared well in advance, didn’t you? Your statement.
Under the circumstances, I’m now returning to the ship, and will begin preparations to destroy Le Verrier station. But you will have by now, sleep in your eye.Ĭhopra: In the absence of any further communication with Chief Nagata and the others, I must regrettably assume them to be deceased. The Doctor: There’s nothing here from Chopra’s point of view, because he refuses to use Morpheus. So how and why does this footage even exist? The dust has been watching us. But what’s missing in all of it? What can’t you see anywhere? Not in the footage, no on this ship. Do you see it yet? No? Okay, I’ll tell you what’s wrong. These images are being stored by someone. The Doctor: You said you felt like you were being watched, Clara. Nagata: Twenty-four hours ago this station fell silent. The Doctor: From the beginning of time? That’s a very long story. It’s just restaurants, champagne or hats, even if this was a restaurant. It’s never space restaurant or space champagne or space, you know, hats. The Doctor: They never put the word “space” in front of something just because everything’s all sort of hi-tech and future-y. The Doctor: People never do that, you know. Have you brought me to a space restaurant! Strangers.Ĭlara: Looks like a Japanese restaurant. Your lives may depend on it. There was no crew. If you’re going to watch then pay close attention. I’ve pieced together the rescue as best I could. Everything you’re about to see is from their individual viewpoints, all take from the station itself. Rassmussen: This one’s obvious from the markings, isn’t it? We all know a Grunt when we see one. Keep your politics to yourself, okay?ĭeep-Ando: I know someone who’d love to get Chopra back to Triton, eh? Oh ho! We find out what’s happened on Le Verrier and then we all go home. The one they couldn’t their filthy mitts on. Well, he did.Ĭhopra: Morpheus, Morpheus, Morpheus. Likes to think of himself as the joker of this little group. Quite a baptism of fire, I’m afraid.ĭeep-Ando: Marvelous, ma’am. That thing’s meant to be a lethal fighting machine and it just moves around like a lovesick puppy.ĭeep-Ando (Paul Courtenay Hyu): I could hear your ranting from inside the pod, Chopra.
Bit of an attitude in my opinion.Ĭhopra: Well it’s ridiculous. Um, I don’t fully understand what’s been going on here.
I’ve put things together into some kind of order so that you can, um, understand. This is Le Verrier lab in orbit around Neptune. Gagan Rassmussen (Reece Shearsmith): You must not watch this.
