Spoilers follow for this episode of Doctor Who.
In “The Lie of the Land,” the conclusion to the three-part monk story, the Doctor faces what may be his greatest foe yet: fake news. Truly, it is an enemy we can all fear.
And the episode proves to be a pretty good one, satisfyingly wrapping up the overall story while also charting some new ground, providing more than a couple of thrills and head-fakes, commenting on current events in a not at all subdued way, and further advancing the vault/Missy storyline just enough to keep us on the hook.
The idea of our heroes finding themselves in an alternate reality is a well-worn trope in sci-fi television, going back at least as far as that time Spock got a goatee. And while here the technical whatchamacallits of the scenario makes it less an alternate world than a mind-controlled population perceiving an alternate history, the effects are more or less the same: Bill has found herself six months out from her deal with the monks in the previous episode, with the hideous creatures now masters of the planet as a result. The thing is, the monks are perceived by just about everyone on Earth as benign caretakers who have been with humankind throughout their evolution.
