Indeed, the Doctor himself is pointedly distinterested in searching for Gallifrey. Indeed, the episode ends with River Song delivering a stern lecture on what the Doctor should be, and why this mission failed as spectacularly as it did. Expanding the category of “Gallifrey stories” to a more generic “Time Lord mythology stories”, the subgenre has featured some real stinkers. Both writers have strengths and weaknesses. Repetition is not elaboration. Who is the figure calling from beyond the stars for help, and why? The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) arrives in the far future, intent on protecting the last of the human race from the deadly Cybermen. Every era of Doctor Who has an interesting relationship with the one that preceded it. This gets ane interesting and key differencs between the work of Chris Chibnall and his two predecessors. “Go to the city,” he instructs a young child. The Moffat era is built around that understanding. There are shocking revelations that had been carefully seeded throughout the season. Knives Out expects that audiences understand the rhythms and flows of the standard “whodunnit” formula, and so constructs a narrative that plays with that formula. Of course, like A Good Man Goes to War critiques the “rape revenge” template, Let’s Kill Hitler critiques this approach to time travel fiction. Terrible, chibnall is really draining the fun or excitement from the show for me. “The fascists, do they win?” Khan asks. One of the reasons that Hell Bent is so divisive is because of how thoroughly and completely it rejects the idea of the Doctor’s epic “homecoming” story. This becomes even more obvious at the other end of the season, with The Timeless Children. Fantastic piece, what a lovely biting ending. Thank you so much for writing this. It is premised around the idea of throwing the Doctor into the most cliché time travel plot imaginable. Change ). With that episode being as good as it was, I was definitely looking forward to what Hime would do in his second episode. The Tesselecta is designed as a dysfunctional TARDIS, albeit one with “tessellation” rather than a “chameleon circuit.” While the TARDIS is stuck as a phone box, the Tesselecta can still change its shape. However, there is a push and pull with this sort of thing. Moffat even affectionately named the “good Dalek” in Into the Dalek as “Rusty” in honour of Russell T. Davies. I had to find a way to save you. Also wasn’t happy with them screwing around with the regeneration cycle this season and adding like what 3 more doctors? “Everyone’s a bit of both. Most obviously, it reveals that the Doctor can “speak baby”, understanding and communicating with Amy’s newborn baby. People who were soured by Moffat having the gall to introduce ambiguity on the topic of big scary Time Lord prophecies, and who saw no value in using them as a poetic technique to tell a tale of a destructive relationship. Great write up and I do pretty much agree with everything you say (it is interesting looking at mortars inversions which some of I really didn’t like at the time like let’s kill hitler and compare it to chibnalls straight up serious storytelling with no punchline) and I really don’t like Chibnalls writing for the most part but I will say that I don’t think that doctor who can’t do episodes based on historically racial inequality.
