Matt Smith, the reigning Doctor on Doctor Who, describes the TARDIS in a new video. Beware, the TARDIS can be very dangerous!
In the next episode of Doctor Who, as the title might suggest, “Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS” is all about exploring the iconic time traveling box that we have only gotten the briefest of glimpses of before. So what is the TARDIS really like besides the control room and corridors? As Matt Smith describes, it’s not just an inanimate object, “…God it’s endless, your mind can play tricks on you. It has a mind of its own, a soul of its own, and ideas of its own. Actually the TARDIS is more powerful than all of us.”
In the next video, the Doctor claims to have set the TARDIS on self-destruct. Do we believe him? Rule number one, the Doctor lies!.
According to multiple sites that have seen the episode, such as Digital Spy, the title isn’t a gimmick or mere rouse. We are actually going to see major details of the TARDIS. Now as fantastic as it will be to see the library or the infamous swimming pool, we are going to see “the heart of the TARDIS.” Let me just repeat that: The heart of the TARDIS! Now given that the last time someone looked into the heart to of the TARDIS we got Bad Wolf Rose, resurrected and cannot die Jack, an entire exterminated Dalek fleet, and a regeneration from 9 to 10; there’s a fairly high bar being set for something of catastrophic proportion to occur. It will be a fairly big letdown if nothing at all happens.
Digital Spy has ten teasers about the upcoming episode including this quote, “I think I’m more scared of you right now than anything else on that TARDIS.” Could this be the Doctor talking to Clara, and a Clara who looks into the heart of the TARDIS with no unusual side effects? Could looking into the heart of the TARDIS be what triggers a return to the Victorian Era in the episode that follows, “The Crimson Horror”?
