Doctor Who season 10 episode 7 spoilers: ‘The Pyramid at the End of the World’

If you are talking about Doctor Who season 10 episode 7 just in terms of episode titles, it’s pretty easy to celebrate “The Pyramid at the End of the World.” This is an awesome name, and it’s one that introduces a strong visual component to go along with a sense of mystery. There’s also a touch of history there, given that when you think of a pyramid, odds are you are thinking about the Great Pyramids of Giza or some other sort of great wonder of the world from so many years ago. A time-traveling Doctor and his companion are not often the first thing that come to mind.

Yet, this is precisely what you will see with the pyramid in this episode. It will turn up in a bizarre, surprising way, and the problems that it brings with it will not be buried in the past in the slightest. Instead, they will be real, present, and beyond terrifying as the fate of the known world could hang somewhat in the balance.

Doctor Who season 10 episode 7 synopsis – “An ‘ancient’ pyramid appears overnight. Every clock in the world begins counting down to the Earth’s destruction. Three opposing armies lie ready to annihilate each other. An alien race stands ready to offer humanity a deal that could save them, but also enslave them. It’s a terrifying race against time to save the world. Will the Doctor be forced to accept their help?”

It’s hard to imagine a situation that could be any more dire here, given that the fate of humanity lies in a decision to either become enslaved by islands, or to die off without any hope at all. You have death in one corner, and a fate worse than death in the other. One of the key cruxes of this episode is going to be seeing if The Doctor or Bill can somehow find another way to get everything that they want. It’s going to be difficult, but we suppose that theoretically, it’s possible. Within the grand universe of this show, effectively anything is.
