To be a good writer, you have to smash things up. The Timeless Child may have lived countless lives, but the Doctor, our Doctor, is still the hero we’ve always known. He’s not necessarily a better actor than Dhawan, he’s just more the right type for it with his big posh voice and talent for grandiose speeches. The show needs to get out of this obsession with rewriting its past. (The fact that Jo Martin’s TARDIS was a blue police box shows that even that detail of the Doctors life, was as a result of the Time Lords. He has no agency, no individual character. ( Log Out /  Using this knowledge, Tecteun and the others learned about the Time Lords from the other universe and built their society based on their culture, becoming Time Lord knock offs themselves. You idea of how to write out the twist was really clever, so good on you. I feel that even without the Chibnall era, they are totally incompatible. Also, out of curiosity, what did you think of Sacha Dhawan’s Master? It will be retconned out sooner or later. Now its just the Master who wiped out all of the Time Lords (which by the way HOW did he do that, and WHY when he had turned good as Missy?). This isn’t anything political, or even just an interpretation of the character. She was found on another world by an alien known as Tecteun, who belonged to a race known as the Shobagans, the original inhabitants of Gallifrey. ), Some of her endless regenerations even came to look like the Doctor from the New Who universe (explaining the brief flashback of the Tenth Doctor from that universe, and Jodie morphing from Capaldi.). For me Classic Who and New Who take place in two alternate universes, with a similar history up until a certain point, explaining the cameos from Classic era Doctors in New Who, but ultimately their histories went in a different direction. To make great Doctor Who, especially, you have to destroy something someone values with every step. Originally I was going to cover this in the second part of my what ruined Doctor Who article, which I will still be finishing this week. The Timeless Child meanwhile was then experimented on further. I don’t like to do this. Change ), You are commenting using your Twitter account. I still think SImon Templeman would have been an amazing choice. Any sequels that come along should be set in alternate universes to one another, allowing them all to be linked, but ultimately its up to viewers as to which if any take place in the same universe as the original. No writer was ever so arrogant as to completely finish a large part of the lore in quite the same way (Remembrance for instance still showed us Davros escaping.). Doctor Who?). However Chibnall’s ghastly Timeless Child makes this solution hard, as now New Who is so disconnected from the original, that its incompatible even as an alternate universe version of the same character! Not to sound elitist but I think this is the test of a true DW fan. The character had to always remain somewhat mysterious (Clues in the title. Its one thing to have two different productions be set in two different universes, but when you use the multiverse format to split up the same production, that’s when things get problematic, as future writers can end up chopping one story up too much to explain away any continuity blips. Aside from just being a ridiculous story, this more or less breaks the very foundation of Doctor Who in a number of ways. See him in action here as Doctor Doom. For now though I will just say that you cannot justify a creative decision by saying “well someone did something in 1966, so that means its okay for me to do something now.”.
