Doctor Who Heaven Sent Trailer #2 Breakdown

On the same day that Face the Raven, we got two new trailers for the next episode: Heaven Sent. I am going to be looking at the second trailer, because it has more detail and has more things to look at.

If you would like to see this trailer before I start, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qph1iXXocPQ

1. The Monster

The monster in this episode looks extremely creepy, like something straight from a 15-rated horror movie. 

This creature is probably going to be called the Veil, a creature we know will be in an episode. As the Doctor describes it, the monster seems to be following him, hunting him. It is slow, but it never stops. In the trailer, the Doctor seems to be almost afraid of it...and the Doctor's not supposed to be afraid of anything. This creature must be powerful, and also very creepy, if the Doctor is going to be scared of it himself.

In the next time trailer, the Doctor seems to think he knows this creature, that its someone he's met before, Now, we haven't met any creature like this before in Doctor Who, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be someone the Doctor knows but we don't. 

The Doctor also seems to think this monster played some part in the death of Clara, which he will be coming back to constantly in the next two episodes.

2. The Location

This location seems to be some sort of remote prison island in the middle of a vast sea. It seems to be an ever-moving structure which is trying to scare the Doctor to death...maybe even literally. On one of the shots you can see the structure is moving like a rubik's cube, and in another there is a painting of Clara. It's as if the island itself is trying to torture the Doctor mentally. And in one shot we also see the Doctor bruised and wounded, as if he's dying. This could mean it's also torturing him mentally.

3. The Doctor

This episode will obviously focus solely on the Doctor, as he (and the Veil) is the only character in this episode. It seems he will have to go through both mental and physical hell, and will have to solve countless puzzles to be able to escape from this monstrous structure.

The Doctor is also going to be very angry and regretful about Clara's death and the events of the previous episode, and he will probably channel this anger into his plans of escape. 

As I mentioned earlier, the Doctor seems to be scared of this creature, which means it must be either very powerful or very, very frightening.

4. The Action

The first trailer, the next time trailer, makes the episode seem quite calm and quietly creepy, instead of full of action. However, the second trailer makes the episode look very action-packed and will thrust the Doctor into action.

It seems that the Doctor will be pulling off a large number of stunts, such as jumping off a building and punching a large, crystallized wall. The Doctor also seems to be digging some kind of grave or hole, maybe to trap the monster in (but probably not).





So that's the trailer breakdown for Heaven Sent. My next post, which will be on Thursday, is going to be a review on the tonight's episode of Flash: Gorilla Warfare.
