Doctor Who

monition : Spoilers out front forDoctor Whoseason 15 , instalment 2 , " Lux . “The villain inDoctor Whoseason 15 , episode 2 , " Lux , " enrol the disturbance in a very irregular means , and it connects the installment ’s titular reference to the show ’s primary protagonist . Alan Cumming ’s Mr. Ring - a - Ding / Lux Imperatorinitially seems to be " just " an animated character that has get to life history , but the reveal that he is a member ofDoctor Who ’s Pantheonas the God of Light fare shortly after his debut .

By theend of " Lux,“it ’s unclear whether Cumming ’s character can return . I think he can , as other members of the Pantheon have already seemed vanquish and have come back further down the line - similar Sutekh ( Gabriel Woolf).Lux ’s powers give him the power to manipulate light , which makes his potentiality incredibly broad and unfeignedly terrible . There are similarities between the Doctor and Lux , and the front of one on the face of it innocuous item in the cold open air of " Lux " drives home that connection even further .

Doctor Who Season 15’s Lux Uses One Of The Doctor’s Trademarks For Evil

Spoons have saved the day in the Doctor’s hands

Lux begins the level as a non - corporeal entity , travel on a beam of moonlight . Entering through the fanlight in the Palazzo , the beam of light reflect off a spoonful left out by the picture show theater ’s projectionist . After a few perfectly angled deflection , Lux attain his way onto the Mr. Ring - a - nick footage and takes the character ’s shape as his own . The spoonful is really a point of reference to the Doctor , as he has used the piece of cutter several times throughout the show ’s history to save the daylight .

The Doctor never carries conventional weaponry , and seldom even manage it . So , he will quite often employ what ’s useable , and the innocence of something so harmless as a spoon has several time served as an artful comment on howthe Time Lord strives to quash violence by adopting non - violent methods . So , by include a spoon in Lux ’s entrance to the show , the God of Light sullies one of the Doctor ’s iconic tools .

Does The Spoon Confirm A Larger Connection Between The Doctor & The Pantheon?

Gatwa’s Doctor has shown signs of being a Pantheon member

Lux and the Doctor are both very powerful beingness , and the fact that Cumming ’s part can successfully use Fifteen ’s regeneration zip to build up himself a sturdier dead body is quietly one of the big reveals in " Lux . " I ’m not saying that Lux is a Time Lord , butit ’s not out of the question that the Doctor is a Pantheon God and does n’t know it . After all , the Doctor underwent a retention rub at the hands of Division before the earned run average of William Hartnell ’s First Doctor , and no one knows the character ’s true line of descent yet afterChris Chibnall ’s Timeless Child retcon .

The Doctor Who fandom seems convinced the show is drawing to a close in its current form , and the showrunner has reference that in opinion in " Lux . "

The spoon could just be there coincidently , but it could be a sign of something far more significant . I think the most likely connection , if there is one at all , is that the spoon was put there intentionally by someone else in the Pantheon , and they chose that special item because they make love the Doctor ’s history and are toying with him . Doctor Whohas become increasingly supernatural during the Disney earned run average , so there could be other account that digress from the show ’s sci - fi storytelling habits .
