The other new character is the Grand Serpent, played by the poor man's Benedict Cumberbatch, Craig Parkinson, the slimy tyrant Vinder was assigned to, whose evil deeds Vinder reported, which in turn landed him on Outpost Rose as punishment. Bel is cool and I'm a little frustrated at how she and Vinder seem more important here than they will ultimately prove to be. Her only companion a baby monitor that communicates via emoji technology (see Smile), and as we learn in the episode's dying embers, is Vinder's unborn child. The first is Bel (named after Belfast? because another accent for the ear to parse) on a mission of love, looking for her partner in the collapsing universe, through lack of opposition now divided as spoils by the Doctor's main enemies. It also introduces a couple characters who will remain relevant. Though it seems the damage has been done and so the larger story continues. it also does contain a complete adventure, the Doctor's mission to "fix" time by giving the Mouri (linguistically related to the Greek Fates Homer calls the Moirai) a chance to refill their seats and stabilize it. But while the episode's function is to drop exposition about various elements - the Flux, the Ravages, the Angels so Yaz knows what they are, etc. with a vengeance! I'll certainly give the episode points for its boldness in telling its recaps as Quantum Leap vignettes where the leads play the roles of other characters. The TARDIS crew (and Vinder) bounce back and forth through time and each other's lives.
