'Doctor Who' 2022 Spring Holiday Special Recap: "Legend of the Sea Devils"

Coming into Doctor Who knowing that there's only one more episode until regeneration is always a surreal experience. Even though the franchise has promised the BBC centennial special will be feature-length, providing more than the usual 45-60 minute runtime to wrap up all the loose ends, it's hard to shake the awareness this is a penultimate episode of sorts. It's easier when this moment comes either towards the end of a season-long arc, with regeneration either as a season finale (like the Ninth Doctor) or buttoned as a Christmas special (as with the Eleventh and Twelfth).

The Doctor: You really pimped his ride! Do people still say that?
Yaz: It's 1807.
