Doctor Who Recap: Face the Music
For an episode that takes this many swings, its big moments are not that punchy.
Nurse Mike and hologram expert Gary conveniently have the exact set of skills needed to help the Doctor, who immediately lowers the stakes: It turns out that all those floating people aren’t dead, because he previously triplicated the mavity field to keep them suspended in a revivable state. Mike and Gary (who seemingly both now want the Doctor to join them in a throuple) get to play to their individual strengths again as they bring hundreds of thousands of people back to life in Rylan’s chamber.Rylan tells the universe that while the Interstellar Singing Contest isn’t happening this year, one singer is still going to perform. It’s difficult not to think about this episode in the context of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and it feels even more timely given that it dropped during the week of this year’s real Eurovision Song Contest, which was originally supposed to feature Ncuti Gatwa as the U.K. spokesperson and has been protested over Israel’s participation.
