space opera
An old Dalek weapon threatens to cut whole systems off from one another. The Doctor faces a campaign of conquest built around isolation rather than a single decisive battle.

ecological science fiction
The Rani has found effective answers to ecological collapse. Her success poses a harder question when restoring an environment becomes an excuse to redesign the people living in it.

science-fiction adventure
Rival factions close in on Sabbath's arsenal of abandoned Time War weapons. The Doctor confronts the consequences of keeping dangerous things safe by keeping them at all.

Millions depend on an energy system powered by captive Weeping Angels. The Doctor arrives where an indispensable machine and a terrifying prison are the same thing.

The Children of the Comet
generation-ship social SF
A generation ship approaches its destination after a voyage no living passenger began. The promised new world is already inhabited, and arrival will demand more than navigation.

Seven aristocratic siblings inherit a powerful household. When deaths begin to follow the inheritance, the Doctor enters a murder mystery shaped by family and political ambition.

intimate character drama
The Master appears to be living an ordinary, anonymous life. The Doctor suspects a scheme, but their oldest disagreement may be about whether either can recognise real change.
