UPeter Capaldi ungene Ugqirha Ngubani . (ifoto: BBC America) Ugqirha uphila ngemithetho. Asiqhelekanga ukuba siyintoni, ngokuchanekileyo. (Ixesha elikwixesha, nayo yonke loo nto) Kodwa siyazi ukuba kufuneka ebalandele.
Akanakulandela imigaqo efunwa ngabanye-uyinqaba ekhethekileyo, kwaye iqhawe lethu, kuba waphula yonke imithetho kunye nokuqina kunye nezithethe ze-Lord Lord kwindawo yokuqala-kodwa unemithetho. Imigaqo ebalulekileyo yokugcina uzinzo kwindalo iphela, ukuqinisekisa ukuba akaphuli lonke ixesha kunye nendawo, uyityhile kuba enako. Kwaye imigaqo ebalulekileyo ekufuneka yenziwe Ugqirha Ngubani umboniso onezibonda zokwenyani, kunye nesiqwenga sokwenyani, endaweni yokungxola ngexesha kunye nendawo.
Ukuphela kwexesha lokugqibela le-9 yexesha lokugqibela, iHell Bent, isibonisa ukuba kunokwenzeka ntoni ukuba bekungenjalo, ukuba ugqirha uthathe isigqibo ngoku unezizathu zokwaphula yonke imithetho, ngokuya kude kangangoko anako, ngokwenza nantoni na ayifunayo. Ngumzobo kaGqirha oqhutywa ngaphaya kokukhathalelwa kwemithetho, malunga nendalo iphela, kwaye iyaphazamisa njengesihogo. (Ikwavakala ngathi kukukhohlisa, kodwa siza kufika kuloo nto.)
Yabona, ayilahlekanga kuphela ngumhlobo wayo osenyongweni, iqabane ebelisondele kakhulu kubo bonke. Kodwa uyazi ukuba ukufa kwakhe (ngokungazi) kubangelwe licebo kwinxalenye yeKhosi ePhakamileyo yeXesha. Kwaye emva koko, sele eneentlungu kunye nomsindo kunye nempindezelo, waye phantsi kwesikimu: iibhiliyoni yeminyaka yokungcungcuthekiswa kwakuthetha ukukhupha ulwazi kuye.
Akunzima ukubona ukuba nabona bantu baziphethe kakuhle banokuqhutywa kubude obukhulu ngonyango olunjalo. Ekupheleni kwayo yonke loo nto, imigaqo awayehlala eyigcina ingcwele ingabonakala ingabalulekanga. Kwaye uqhubeka nokubaphula bonke, ukuze afumane le nto ayifunayo, ekuphela kwento acinga ukuba inokuphilisa intliziyo yakhe eyaphukileyo: ukubuyisa uClara.
Kukho iinkcukacha ezininzi kakhulu kwesi siqendu, uninzi lwayo luyothusa, luchukumisayo (kunye nentwana yalo ekufutshane-nonsensical), ukuba akunakwenzeka ukubalisa konke apha. Kodwa iinkcazo zesicwangciso sakhe esiphambeneyo zicacile. Ugqirha ujongana neBhunga eliPhakamileyo ukusuka kwikhaya lakhe lobuntwana, efaka imali ebhankini kwinto yokuba igama lakhe njengegorha leMfazwe yeXesha liya kwenza ukuba bangakwazi ukuthatha amanyathelo ngaye. (Qaphela ukuba unayo sele waqala ukophula eyakhe imithetho apha-kude kube ngoku ebehlala engazichazi iintshukumo zoMzimba wakhe woGqirha, kwaye ke ngokuthe cwaka uxhomekeke kubo.)
Ke emva kokuma phakathi kwamaxesha-ngokubuya kumnxeba omkhulu kwiRobhothi zaseSherwood, bamcela ukuba abeke phantsi izixhobo zakhe, aze ke abeke phantsi icephe lakhe-iBhunga liyavuma. Ugqirha ugxotha uMongameli Rassillon, kwaye uxelele iBhunga ukuba uzakubanceda bafumane into abayifunayo.
Yabona, esona sizathu sokuba iBhunga likulungele ukuya kubude obunje ukuze babambe kwaye babuze uGqirha kukuba boyika ukufa isiprofetho esivele kwi-Matrix supercomputer yabo, eyaziyo ikamva liphela. Umhlanganiselwa, isidalwa esenziwe ngeentlanga ezimbini zomkhosi, ngenye imini uya kuma kumanxuwa aseGallifrey; iya kutyhila iwebhu yexesha kwaye itshabalalise iibhiliyoni zeentliziyo ezintlanu ukuphilisa eyayo.
Ewe kunjalo, kwisitayile sazo zonke ezona ziprofeto zibalaseleyo zentsomi, le iyazizalisekisa: IiNkosi zeXesha zinomdla wokufumanisa malunga ne-hybrid kangangokuba zenza iimeko zokufika kwayo. Kwimizamo yabo yokufunda ukuba yeyiphi na i-hybrid, bayayophula intliziyo kaGqirha bayizalise ngomsindo nempindezelo. Kwaye ngoku bavelise umntu ozimisele ukutshabalalisa uGallifrey, kunye ne-unspool ngalo lonke ixesha, ukunyanga eyakhe intlungu.
Ugqirha ke ukholelwa ukuba ungumxube. Kodwa uxoka kwibhunga, ebaxelela ukuba ufuna uClara ukuba amncede afumane impendulo. Ke bayamkhupha kumzuzu ongaphambi kokusweleka kwakhe, phakathi kwentliziyo yakhe yesibini ukuya kweyokugqibela kunye nokubetha kwentliziyo yokugqibela. Kufanelekile ukuba ibe lilungiselelo lethutyana, kodwa ugqirha uyambamba kwaye ahambe ebaleka. Endleleni eyaphula uninzi lwemithetho yakhe, zombini ezincinci (ukudubula umpu) kwaye zinkulu (ziphikisana nenqaku elimisiweyo ngexesha, oko kuphelisa lonke ixesha lesithuba).
Kuqala uClara uyathandabuza-wasweleka kakuhle, kwaye uziva ukuba uyaphangwa. Kodwa emva koko ufumanisa ubukhulu bento uGqirha athe wayifumana ezandleni zeNkosi yeXesha, ukuba ukungcungcuthekiswa kwakhe kwathatha iminyaka engama-4.5 yezigidigidi, kwaye kubonakala ngathi uthatha isigqibo sokuhamba naye, ubuncinci okwangoku, ukuhamba nesiphelo esimnandi uzama ukuthanda ukubakhona.
Ewe akusebenzi ngokwenene. UClara usenokuphila, kodwa akaphili ngokwenene; ukhutshelwe nje emzuzwini wobomi bakhe, ngonaphakade. Ugqirha ubhabha i-TARDIS esandula ukubiwa kwimizuzu yokugqibela yendalo iphela, ecinga ukuba ekugqibeleni imigaqo ayisayi kuphinda ibekho. Ukuba intliziyo yakhe iya kuqala kwaye ixesha lokuvula liya kuziphilisa. Kodwa akukho namnye owenzekayo.
Apho ekupheleni kwexesha, uMama ongafiyo ulinde ukuxelela ugqirha inyani yokugqibela. Akayiyo i-hybrid, kungekhona ngokuchanekileyo. Umhlanganiselwa nguGqirha noClara kunye, ubudlelwane babo obungenangqondo, ubudlelwane bokuxhomekeka. Khumbula ukuba uClara watsibela kubomi bukaGqirha-wayephila kulo lonke ixesha lakhe. Kwaye ebemlingisa iminyaka. Ngokuhamba kwexesha, baye bakhula omnye komnye njengeziqu zemithi emibini endala.
Yile bhondi inkulu ebeka lonke ixesha emngciphekweni ngoku. Ugqirha uzimisele ukwaphula yonke imigaqo, ancame wonke umntu nayo yonke into, ngenxa yakhe, ngendlela angazange abenayo ngaphambili. Kwaye ekuboneni oku, ekugqibeleni uzirhola umva elunxwemeni, eqonda ukuba uye kude kakhulu-kwaye esazi ukuba uya kuhlala esenza, okoko nje bobabini benalo mbophelelo. Ukugcina indalo iphela, kufuneka bohlule ngandlela thile.
Wayezimisele ukusebenzisa ibhloko ye-neural kuClara, ukucima inkumbulo yakhe ngaye, njengoko wenzayo kuDonna Noble kwiminyaka eyadlulayo. Kodwa ngoku akunamsebenzi, ukuba nje omnye wabo uyalibala. Baqengqa idayisi, kwaye nguGqirha osuswe inkumbulo, eshiya umngxunya omile njengoClara, awuzalisa ngebali alikhumbulayo kuphela.
Ngokuqinisekileyo, uxela ibali ukuya UClara, efihlwe njengeweyitala kwivenkile yaseNevada. Kwaye kulapho eli bali lintsonkothileyo kwaye limnyama kwaye linamandla liphela: kwinqaku elingaqhelekanga lokunciphisa. Kuba ekugqibeleni, isiqephu sizama ukuba neendlela zombini.
Ihlala ivuma ukuba ugqirha uhamba kude kakhulu, ukuba asinakukukhohlisa ukufa ngale ndlela, ayiphuli kuphela yonke into emelwe nguGqirha nayo yonke imigaqo yalo mboniso, yaphula imigaqo yeTV elungileyo. UClara wayenokufa okufanelekileyo, okwakucacile kwaye kugqityiwe. Ukumbuyisela ixabiso lakhe yonke loo nto.
I-Hell Bent iyayazi loo nto. Umxholo ophambili kukuba le yinto engalunganga kwaye ayilunganga, kwaye kufuneka isethwe ngendlela ethile ngandlela thile. Kwaye umboniso usafuna, njengoGqirha, ukuba nexesha elingakumbi noClara, ukumgcina apha. Ngawo onke amalungelo, oku ngekhe kwenzeke. Kodwa xa sele kunjalo, ukuphela kwesi siqendu bekufanele ukuba ubuncinci ukuba uClara abuyele ekufeni kwakhe ngokufanelekileyo. Ukufezekisa eso sithembiso, ukwenza ukuba ukufa kubalwe kwakhona. Endaweni yoko, kuphela iintetho malunga nokubuyela umva, kwaye emva koko uyibeke ecaleni ngenxa… yeentetho ezingaphezulu, ndiyaqikelela? Ukubhabha usuka kwindawo yokuhamba yedinala yeNevada?
Nokuba asizukuphinda simbone, le yayiyindawo yokugqibela ehlwempuzekileyo kunaleyo yayineziqendu ezibini ezidlulileyo.
Indawo yokugqibela kagqirha kolu ngcelele ibonisa ukuba ubuyela kwi-TARDIS yakhe, ebeka idyasi yevelvet ethandwa kakhulu nguClara, kunye nokufumana iscrewdriver sonic. Yeyiphi endicinga ukuba kufuneka ibonakalise ukubuyela kuhlobo oluthe kratya, oludlala isiginci kugqirha? Ndiqinisekile ukuba ndizakuphoswa zizibuko.
