Here are the special Easter spoilers for Dr. Koi “The Legend of the Sea Devils”.
Doctor Who’s Easter specialty is called “Legend of the Sea Devils”, but something much more legendary is happening here than the return of a classic villain.
After Yaz’s confession in “Eve of the Daleks”, fans hope that a strange relationship will finally take center stage in the new episode of Doctor Who. Of course, the show has explored LGBTQ + topics before – Yaz isn’t even the first weird companion – but this is the first time he’s hinted at a strange relationship with the Doctor, the show’s protagonist.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for this episode to immerse itself in all things #Thasmin. For very complex reasons, to summarize them here, the Doctor and I soon find ourselves at the bottom of the ocean, protected by a TARDIS-generated oxygen bubble – as well as an aqua shield, just in case.

There, the Doctor says, “It’s not a bad date, is it?”, Which leaves Yaz worried. And then, only briefly, between the couple hangs another tender moment, which hints at a possible kiss. But the Doctor doesn’t notice or decides not to, so Yaz is disappointed again.
At least the inconvenience doesn’t last too long, because then a giant sea monster comes between the couple and tries to eat them both. This is definitely not the date Yaz had hoped for in more ways than one.
Later, Dan poked his nose again, asking Yaz how things were going with the good Doctor. She looks annoyed and asks, “Did you tell the doctor anything about what I told you?”
A chaotic battle with swords quickly interrupts the conversation, but it’s still good to see the show at least admit that Dan essentially surpassed Yaz, which is awful, no matter what era you may be in.
After a few more fish adventures, the Doctor finally reveals more about that earlier comment he made at the bottom of the sea: “Dates are not something I really do, but if I do, believe me, it would be with you. . I think you’re one of the greatest people I’ve ever known, including my wife.
It’s clear that the Doctor has had these thoughts in his mind for a long time, just like all #Thasmin senders who watch at home, but this revelation of “wife” throws Yaz into a trap. “It was a long time ago,” explains the doctor. “I was a different man, but the point is, if it was someone, it would be you. But I can not.”
I ask “why?” while she struggles to process all this new information. “Because at some point,” the Doctor replies, “time always runs out.”
BBC
This is a key moment for #Thasmin and the show as a whole, but before we can handle it all, the annoying Sea Devils plot is bothering us again. Make a heroic sacrifice and a few brief things before we go back to Yaz and the Doctor for the last time sitting together on the beach.
“I can’t fix myself for anything. Nowhere. Or anyone. I never succeeded. This is my life. Not that I wouldn’t want to. Because it can. But if I fix myself for someone, I know that sooner or later it will hurt. “
Finally, the Doctor explained why she had kept Yaz at bay all this time, despite her obvious romantic feelings for her.
This is because this life is one of chaos, and eventually this chaos will engulf any relationship that the Doctor pursues. By restraining her own feelings, she hopes that she can at least keep Yaz safe, even if it doesn’t hurt to never act on those feelings.
Yaz’s response shows that she still wants to make him work: “My grandmother says that the courage is to know that something will hurt and to do it anyway. Keep in mind that she also said that this is the definition of stupidity.
“Can we just live in the present with what we have while we still have it?” The doctor replies.
This is a key moment, but also deeply sad. Because yes, it’s really revolutionary to see the doctor admit out loud his feelings for Yaz, but the conversation is also rooted in pain and fear. And this is something that many strange viewers can connect with, regardless of the context.
Finally, the Doctor throws a stone and loudly wishes “this to go on forever.” But we know, of course, that it will not happen.
After this special, there is only one more episode of Jody Whitaker left. Even if Mandip Gill stays on the show longer after that, Yaz will no longer be with this version of The Doctor, and that can complicate things.
BBC
However, I hope this is not the case. Speaking recently about this romance to the Radio Times, co-author Ella Road said: “I think we all wanted to make sure we handled all these things delicately.”
However, some might argue that Dr. Who did anything but deal with it “delicately.” Although we are extremely happy to see the show catch up with modern times and finally explore the inherent strangeness of the Doctor, the timing of it all is far from ideal.
Chris Chibnal and his team had three seasons to explore a potential romance between Yaz and the Doctor, but waited until the last three episodes to make it a reality. Some may say it’s better late than never, but that’s not always the case, especially when it comes to LGBTQ + representation.
Instead of giving this dynamic breathing room, instead of focusing on some strange joy of change, it seems that the show will soon tear me and the Doctor apart before they even become a real couple.
You could argue that this reluctance is just part of the Doctor’s character, and you could also argue that Yaz may somehow continue this romance in future seasons, but the chances of that actually happening seem low given the usual accompanying cycles. which we have seen playing outside before.
So, if Doctor Who really gives us #Thasmin in the last episode, just to take it away again, it’s probably worse than not having any weird relationship.
BBC
Killing Eve made just that mistake too recently in the last episode, tearing up Villaneve just minutes after the senders finally got what they always wanted. This episode provoked outrage and rightly so, which leaves us more than a little worried about Dr. Who in this regard.
Of course, given all the volatile jokes Dr. Who is making, there may be a way for the show to have its own cake and eat it too.
But if Yaz and the Doctor don’t get a happy ending, or at least a few more episodes together than are currently planned, those last episodes could turn into the same kind of harmful weird tropes we still see all too often, even now in 2022.
If so, then Jody Whitaker’s latest attempt could be “legendary” for all the wrong reasons.
Dr. Who is broadcast on BBC One in the UK. In the United States, the show is broadcast on BBC America, with series 1-12 available on HBO Max.
