I seem to be the only one who thinks David Tennants interpretation of The Doctor was the least engaging of the New Who era. The focus on his relationship with Rose Tyler, and later the interaction with Martha Jones marked a pasage where it was all about making the Doctor invincible, and that was a journey these 'romantic' companions took us on. Of course as viewer we always knew the Doctor would win out because of his plot armour, but this period marked a point where that plot armour became an in storyline fact and that was a blunder the New Era has never fully recovered from. Some of Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi's best performances notwtihstanding Like over-use of the sonic screwdriver the moments when the Doctor can say - ''I'm the Doctor so just surrender now'' - quickly became a deus ex machina for lazy writing and paper think stories.

Seeing Bernard Cribbins was heartbreaking. For those who don't know, he passed away a few days ago. He was a very special man and an outstanding actor. RIP Bernard, thanks for the memories.

A couple of things... I've always believed that Sacha's Master was actually an incarnation that pre-dates the Gomez version, maybe Simms' as well. His plans as always way over the top and convoluted, much like Delgado's and Ainley's. Given we've only seen half a dozen versions of the character from at least two different regen cycles, it is possible the latest version is in fact an earlier one. I think the main problem with Five rescuing Adric was that, even without the damaged console, the TARDIS was still unreliable at best, and that any attempt to fly it with such precision would likely have endangered everyone.

I feel that one villain who has been way overused is Davros. He was killed by his own creations at the end of Genesis Of The Daleks, which was a fitting punishment. But he's taken on this kind of god-like status, immortal, without any explanation. He was simply a Kaled scientist, and I tend to think that the Kaleds and the Thals were just future humans who had forgotten that their distant ancestors had come from Earth. He had no special powers like regeneration. The writers seem to think that, "Oh, he's a great villain, let's bring him back again," but he should really have stayed dead.

Where the companion farewell of the Tennent doctor is concerned. I think it makes sense character wise, since this doctor had the most companions at least in new who, but also was the most emotionally connected to the companions too. So seeing him go back to each of his companions to say farewell fits his character, while also seeing how some of those companions end up even one off ones feels consistent an nice.

I am not familiar with the classic who to know that but it makes sense. I have said that maybe it was a learning experience for the doctor. Like he could have been thinking all these years of how he could have saved him so when the situation came up again he had a plan. Everyone learns thru experience, even the doctor. And we have learned Chibnal isn’t a good show runner for the doctor so we went back to RTD. See we all learn😊

The problem with the Daleks is, they haven't been used _properly._ They're the greatest enemy so the story has to be big, like this time could be the end of The Doctor. You shouldn't be able to see it coming and you can't find out its them immediately. There has to be a big reveal like in Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways or Army of Ghosts. The Stolen Earth worked despite giving the game away in the beginning because it was such a diabolical scheme, Davros made it worse by making The Doctor see that he's not really the good guy and then you had an already insane Dalek go insane.

The Daleks haven’t been over used for me they’ve just been underused by Moffat and Chibnall. Daleks were back every single series with RTD and yet they shocked us each time, we felt scared each time. Even to this day you can still pick up on the sheer terror of the Daleks slowly and unstoppably advancing through satellite 5. Being an actual threat and killing people we liked. Then the reveal of the daleks in army of ghosts STILL holds up. Series 4 finale was high stakes, the entire world at threat, everyone we love comes back and we get consequences, a companion is going to die, we’ve got to say goodbye to Donna, we have Davros, all these companions etc. it’s brilliant. What started to be a problem was Moffats use of the Daleks. He really watered them down, made them into villains who stand around in the background and don’t do anything, Moffat thought having daleks just…there is enough to be a threat. They’re not, just like RTD you actually have to have them do something. Not just shove hundreds of cgi daleks onto the screen and think ‘job done, that’ll scare everyone’. Just think about it, in every Dalek story Moffat has written can anybody tell me something that the daleks ACTUALLY do? (Into the Dalek is the only episode in moffats entire era where the daleks are a threat and it’s not written by Moffat). Moffat just made exterminations pointless, easily escapable by teleport and sonic screwdriver, and had a whole episode about the time war where the daleks exterminate absolutely nobody. The only people Moffat exterminates on screen in his entire era are two background Movellans in series 10, the Dalek then goes on to practice his storm trooper aim on nardole. Chibnall on the other hand brought back the death, he brought back the threat of the daleks, but his scattering of awful dialogue, out of place jokes and poor delivery of script just delegitimize all the right stuff he’s doing in having the daleks actually kill people. But then again he fails on being able to give any of his characters characterization so even though he’s killing people, we don’t CARE that he’s killing people. So RTD era: very good at writing Daleks Moffat: waters down daleks into a non threat Chibnall: makes daleks threatening but no characterization or people we care about on screen cancels any of this out

This is something I'd put in the Timeless Child thing. First, time lords, when given the power to regenerate, had a soft limit of 12 regenerations imposed on them. They could petition for more, or even after death,t hey could be resurrected, with a new set. Early on, the Doctor showed a propensity to not work well with other time lords and would run off on their own. So, when the Doctor was recaptured, the doctor had this limit imposed on them (after a mind wipe), to force the Doctor to return to Gallifrey for a reset (and obligatory mind wipe). So the cycle began. 13 lives, either returns to Gallifrey or turns to moosh (Like the Master in The Deadly Assassin, and in the TV movie), and gets retrieved, gets a new set or regenerations, and gets a mind wipe, then goes on their way. That could mean the Doctor might have had a different name during parts of their lives, which could mean some of the Doctor's friends, even their own parents, could be the Doctor. Even a future villain could be the Doctor in a previous life set.

To me when the show says the Doctor has unlimited regenerations, then the doctor has unlimited regenerations all we know is the timeless child had the ability to regenerate, we don’t know how many times. The timeless child was then chameleon arched and that essence was put in the fobwatch. Then the body was given 12 regenerations.

Changing Doctor Who from male to female was the biggest controversy I can remember except possibly the Timeless Child.

I think one of the things that alot of us missed the first time was that just like Timelords altered their DNA to be able to regenerate, they might have altered the Doctor's DNA to memory wipe after 12 regenerations. Thus, the added regenerations given were so he would go on without losing who he was and starting all over again. Just a thought -

That means he's just repaired 10th Doctor from that point on, not a whole new 11th, still the same old guy. Same face, same personality quirks, same incarnation, basically the same 10th Doctor.

It's heavilly implied, that they also altered the Doctor's physiology, most likely through the chameleon arch thing like 10th did in Human nature, according to the glitches in the Matrix, referred to as the "island images" (the ones about that police guy, who fell down the cliff, but didn't die, the cover story for what happened to the Timeless Child), the memory wipe at the end is done with a pain inducing device, just like in 10th Doctor's case. It links perfectly. Perhaps memory wipe wasn't the only thing they did to the TC/Doctor.

The Daleks being reduced to 1 episode every year but making them deadly and continuing that first narrative was the best thing for them, the 10th Doctor's era made them feel overused but still overpowered and ruthless and Moffat's tenure made them background villains that were about outsmarting The Doctor which never used to be the case. Someone else said about Chibnall making them threatening but again killed no main characters or their relatives; like the Scout Dalek having the perfect moment to kill Ryan's dad which would've brought more character dev to him and *Eve of the Daleks* having secondary characters to kill over and over again with no real consequences really brought down the immersion factor for them .

Well I don't. So far there has been absolutely nothing in the storyline that is contradictory with what we've been told about the Doctor before. The Doctor believed up to that point that they'd used so many regenerations, but that doesn't make it a fact, and it's quite clear that the Time Lords have the science to wipe people's memories (such as Jamie and Zoe). As such there's no reason why the Doctor hadn't lived previous lives before having their memory wiped and forcefully regenerated. Likewise, there's no indication so far that the Doctor isn't a Time Lord, even if they're from a different universe even if they have infinite regenerations (Rassilon was possibly working on perpetual regeneration as a form of immortality (The Five Doctors)). With all of this in mind there's absolutely no reason why The Timeless Child can't quite happily fit into the previous continuity.

The concepts might be pretty similar, but I don't think the last part of your comment would work in the series. The "Ouroboros storyline" is a cool idea, though. I've had a somewhat different idea while thinking about the whole of Classic and New Who (+ the expanded universe). I won't share all the details but I started wondering whether or not the ability to regenerate could be the result of multiversal travel rather than something inherent to the Doctor's species regardless of what it truly is. In this scenario, the Doctor's species might not be Time Lords trying to start again in another universe. It could just as well be any humanoid species with no real knowledge in either other universes or even advanced temporal concepts. What if regeneration was an ability you could obtain only through travelling from one universe to another, as a result of some unspecified, never-witnessed, not-necessarily-rational phenomena? I think I'd like that idea because I feel that it would restore part of the "magic" surrounding regenerations and Time Lords. I've got a friend who has only watched New Who, and one day he said to me that before "The Timeless Children", he'd considered that the Time Lords had an almost magical relationship to time. I'd say their biology is too different from our own for us to even begin to imagine how it feels to FEEL time the way they do. It's true that they can see possible futures and shape reality on a much larger scale than human could even imagine. Knowing that, I think I share my friend's view that there was initially something "exceptional" about the Time Lords being able to perceive Time in such formidable ways from birth, and them having regenerations keeping them from dying, making them prime observers of basically everything Life has to offer. Having watched Classic Who, and in particular the Fifth Doctor's serial "Mawdryn Undead", I must say I'm a bit gutted that the Timeless Children has apparently approved the genetic nature of regeneration. It throws technical explanations in the plot whereas "Mawdryn Undead" was basically the story of non-Time Lords scientists trying to "crack the code" of regeneration for themselves, who were "doomed" for trying to replicate an ability that's also kind of burden. This story was meaningful, I think. Regeneration wasn't a burden to be shared with other species. Even Minyans (from the Fourth Doctor's serial Underworld) only got access to a technological, less perfect, and most importantly not innate form of regeneration from their early encounters with members of the early Time Lord society. We've seen a lot of the "burden" element in New Who, every time the Doctor insists that they have lost many loved ones and have to keep leaving companions behind who should pursue lives of their own rather than stay by their side forever. Having said that, I think it's kind of dumb to have made regeneration a genetic thing recently, because it just makes Tecteun more successful at cracking the "regeneration code" than the scientists from Mawdryn Undead were. Things become even worse if you consider that we're told that she had a test subject with a conveniently infinite number of regenerations to experiment upon. The scientists from Mawdryn Undead were on their own, with only stolen Time Lord technology at hand to try and develop regeneration for themselves. It's a bit of a shame to explore the genetic route again now with Tecteun, since her only merit is probably to have conducted experiments on a test subject that couldn't even die from her making mistakes on the way to success. It makes things appear like the only way for Tecteun to get it wrong would have been to fail the "regeneration transfer" within her own initial limited lifespan, and really, it annoys me greatly. I mean, okay, maybe Tecteun was intelligent enough, and determined enough, to pull the "inter-species regeneration transfer" off. It doesn't change that it's a bad story, if one cares about what's been done in the past of the show. I could say "Tecteun was sort of a mother to the Doctor, and the two of them remained together, so... she used that to her own advantage. Fair enough." but really, that makes little sense to me. Chibnall just did a "Mawdryn Undead" type of experiment, with none of the risks, and because there was no risk, it all went weirdly fine. Sure, people have said that Tecteun kind of tortured the Doctor and acted horrible with them both prior and after the regeneration experiments - the Division was created (much?) later - but, reading opinions online, I feel like no one else really realises how wrong it is. And I think it's sad, because one could legitimately complain about Chibnall's new take on Gallifrey's past. I don't even mind the emphasis on gender change during the "Experiments sequence" - I confess I've had some issues with some of the social/political comments of this era, but Jodie as the Doctor was never the problem and I've come to like the era in spite of its huge flaws. It's just the fact that Tecteun succeeded in replicating regeneration through science that bothers me. It's been made plausible, but it's still terrible. If the original regeneration ability were a consequence of multiversal travel, I wouldn't mind the genetic transfer to the Gallifreyan population that much. I'd probably like the idea of a "traveller's DNA" being passed downed through generations of explorers and travel enthusiasts. By the show's new standards, I'm not sure where all of this is going... but I'll stop writing for now. I just wanted to share my idea, with some context and I had to share my opinion on a few things. I hope you'll have found my post interesting.

I cried SO hard when Adria died! It never had occurred to me that a companion could die. Got a few tears started just being reminded.

The rumor that the Daleks were in every season is easily disproved by the fact that during the seven seasons that Tom Baker played the Doctor, the Daleks only appeared twice.

I love Clara,bc she was so cute and smart and her story had so much content and twist and she was really something else ^^

I think the Doctor made a very Galifreyan decision regarding genociding the Daleks. When in doubt, observe. Temporize, even. Well, given what happened to Adric, don't you think that would have been a really good reason to develop that technique? The Doctor didn't do it because he hadn't invented and practiced it yet. Also, if the Doctor had, the actor still would have wanted another job.

The "no hanky-panky aboard the TARDIS" rule emerged during Jon Pertwee's era. However, it was generally joked that the 3rd Doctor and Liz Shaw's relationship was all professional, while most likely the more open (probable party girl) Jo Grant and the Doctor probably were going at it like bunnies between adventures... 😉

now I can't get that picture out of my head, thanks D;

I remember when the controversy around series 12 cropped up, and people began comparing it to when Adrick died in earth shock. I always thought of it, as being like when Spider-Man saves, Mary Jane Watson, following the death of Gwen Stacy. Spider-Man tried to save Gwen, and but failed. And so Peter Parker spent years reliving that situation and trying to figure out what he could’ve done differently or what he could’ve done better in order to save her. And then, when a similar situation cropped up with Mary Jane Watson, he had the opportunity to do things correctly the second time. it’s the same thing with the Doctor here. After Adrick died, he would’ve spent centuries trying to figure out what he could’ve done differently and how he could’ve saved his friend. So by the time, the 13th Doctor rolled around, she was ready. She knew what to do because she had done it incorrectly once before.

If they do explore the timeless child further the one thing they must never do is reveal the doctors name. I feel that will be the shark jump moment that will finally kill the show.

The thing that everyone forgets about Hell Bent is that Clara DIDN'T escape her death. She will inevitably have to return to that one point and face the raven. She was pulled out of her timeline and was temporarily frozen. She's not immortal and she knows that. Was it necessary to give her her own tardis? That's debatable. But the point is, what we see in Face The Raven will happen the same - Everything Clara does in Hell Bent is in that split second before she dies. So in my opinion, Hell Bent doesn't retcon or ruin Face The Raven. Also I'm not trying to make anyone like Clara or Hell Bent, if you don't like them that's fine. I just wanted to make the point about Clara not escaping her death.

Honestly the Timeless Child thing felt like a slap in the face to anyone who is familiar with Doctor Who lore. Also how The Master wiped out the Time Lords with seemingly minimal effort making them seem kinda pathetic. During 13's run I really couldn't get that invested in what was going on.

I think the thing about the doctor having relations with his companions is the power dynamic will never be even. The way the companions look up to him as an authority and idolize him like a god.

I feel like Daleks and Cybermen are often misused, just to put something evil, but aren't that interesting. But I also really love it when it gets to some more imaginative plots around them. When we think about how many times they have appeared in the show since the beginning, it's incredible to see new ideas emerge !

You got some info on The Timeless Child wrong: The Doctor is still a Time Lord, always has been - was made one when used as a agent for Division and then attended the Academy again in their current “The Doctor” life. The Doctor isn’t native to Gallifrey but IS a Time Lord - as that’s a title/role and not a species. “What was the point of 11’s new regeneration cycle in The Time of The Doctor”, well that’s because Tecteun limited their regenerations to 13 per cycle just like any other Time Lord - the Doctor used to have unlimited regens but when Tecteun, Omega and Rassilon were founding the Time Lords using The Timeless Child’s DNA they created the 13 lives rule. Most likely away to keep all other Time Lords from outliving them. all of this is explained in s12.10 and it’s not that hard to understand.

Nowhere in The Timeless Children is it stated that the Doctor/The Timeless Child has a regeneration limit (the Master says that "future generations" of Citadel dwellers were given a limit, but doesn't mention the Child). In fact, considering that we see the Child regenerate over and over again while strapped to that chair, it seems like they could keep going as long as they like. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that it can be interpreted either way.

It became species/race in the Timeless Children episode. The Shobogans (native Gallifreyans) altered their DNA from the child, making themselves effectively into another race, a race they decided to call Timelords. They basically altered their own DNA to match that of the child, so the title of that episode being in plural refers to them, they made themselves into "Timeless Children", which essentially is, what they call the child, because they have no idea what race it belongs to. The Timelords = Timeless Children. Anyway I agree with the rest, they limited the Doctor as well and thus 11th's regeneration had to be resupplied with another cycle in Time of the Doctor.

@@danthemeegs8751 Sure it doesn't mention, but there's lots of stuff, that wasn't mentioned, we can't depend on everything being mentioned or shown directly. They also used the Chameleon Arch on the Doctor to not only erase memories, but also to limit regenerations, altering the Doctor's/Timeless Child's physiology to the standard of the Timelord physiology with the limit in place. It makes perfect sense, since the Doctor was a usefull asset to the Division, but any difference standing out would rise unwanted questions, making the Doctor a completely ordinary Timelord would be the most logical move.

The Timeless Child is not, in any way, disrespectful or a canon-breaker! And who says the Timelords that existed later even had a clue about this past? And at that point, they had tied the regeneration energy to the Heart of the TARDISes, so it's perfectly natural for River to have become the River we know and love. On top of that, if the Martin Doctor was well before the Hartnell Doctor, as she calls their TARDIS a ship just like Hartnell does, and they did, as Whittaker's Doctor said, reset them back to a child, it makes perfect sense! They are reset back to an infant, they grow into that child that Clara visits and tells that fear is a superpower, and then grows up into the Doctor that begins with Hartnell. I have had zero problem with that storyline at all. It fits, and fits well, and it doesn't break any canon at all. And it's fascinating, too! It doesn't make the Doctor a "chosen one," it just makes them an orphan. That isn't a problem. At all. As for the rest, I didn't have a problem with any of what was supposed to be divisive on this list. Even the Adric part! The Doctor hadn't learned how to negotiate with the TARDIS enough at the time (remember, you don't fly her, you negotiate with her) for them to manage to lock on to a ship that was drifting all over the timeline as it hurtled towards Earth. That is, if it were ever possible, even for a full crew and a TARDIS that isn't 'knackered.' I s'pose this is a good collection, but I just don't find any of it negative or divisive, IMO. _~shrug~_

"I don't want to go" line from David was a realization for me especially after seeing the coming doctors, although it's the same soul the personalities are different which means technically he died, he didn't want his individual personality to die and be replaced by a new personality /individual

Great list Ellie. Agree with you on multiple points. Would you consider doing a top ten of the doctor who audio dramas. I always want to investigate those but just don't know where to start. Thank you :)

The easiest way to save Adric would be to repair the console and, sometime in the future, think, "adric!" Then go back in time, rescue Adric and return him to his home with no one the wiser.

I'd like to think that the Doctor learned from Adric's death and by the time we got to the 13th they had figured out how to do a proper rescue. Five just didn't have the knowledge or experience yet (plus the damaged controls).

I can't believe people had a problem with the farewell tour it's for me the most memorable and emotionally charged moment of the series thus far.

When I saw the title of this video I just knew Clara was going to be on this list, and fairly high too! 😆 Now, being a fan of Clara I don't agree with all the hate she seems to receive by some fans, I can understand how some may not like her, or think of her as their favorite companion, but I think she gets too much of the blame for some of the things assocaiated with her. The flaw in the Impossible Girl story arc shouldn't be focused so much on Clara but the Doctor himself. It's he who can't accept that she's just an ordinary woman and not some special puzzle that needs to be understood and found out what meaning she has for seemingly reoccuring over and over at various points in time. Fans want to unfairly point the finger at Clara and give her the blame but it's the Doctor who they should be focusing on. I think most don't like the arc because they think it gives to much importance to Clara at the end and how she has to go back through his timestream to save his past selves, if it were any other companion in her place, Rose, Donna or Amy say, would they still be so upset by it? Probably not. I can see though why people don't like her coming back in Hell Bent since it seems to not only cheat her death, but also seems to have her not face the consequences of her actions which lead to her death since she gets to continue traveling around the Universe in her own Tardis. I'm not a hater of Hell Bent, in fact, in the scene when the Doctor says he would remember Clara instanly if he saw her again, and her turning away holding back tears realizing that he really does not remember her anymore, is heartbreaking to me. Hopefully, in years to come, she will be looked back upon more fondly by some of the fandom. As for if the Doctor should ever have romantic relationships with his/their companions, I am kind of against that notion for a practical, and logical reason. The Doctor is basically immortal, even more so now if the Timeless Child story arc continues to be true. Their tragedy is their outliving everyone. That's why I never thought it right that the Doctor could ever have a romantic relationship with a companion, they couldn't stand seeing them grow old and die before their eyes... again, and again, and again. It's not something they could ever do. I know the show has often highlighted the flirtations between the Doctor and some of the companions, and it's understandable from their point of view (they see him/her as being young when in fact he's/she's not, being thousands of years old), but for the Doctor, that can never be. Whether they are asexual, or not, has no bearing to it I think. They did have a family in the past on Gallifrey, they obviously had a spouse, had at least one child and then their granddaughter Susan,. So why should they be asexual now all of a sudden? It makes sense that they don't have relationships with humans, or an any other mortal species, simply because they would always outlive them. If it was with another Timelord instead, like River was in part, then that's different, but I don't think the show would ever allow the Doctor to have a permanent relationship, that would take away from what makes the Doctor unique, as well as upseting the rapport that they would have with their companions which is natrual, and intregal to the core of the show. The Timeless Child... like Elly, I'll have to wait and see how that plays out before I pass final judgement on that one. Good list! 👍

My problem with Clara is that the show became "The Adventures of Clara Oswald", and the Doctor was reduced to being her sidekick, which did a great disservice to Peter Capaldi, who was one of, if not the best, Doctor of all. At least he was given Heaven Sent, in which he gave one of the most amazing one-man performances of all time. As far as romantic entanglements with his companions, after giving it some thought, I realized (to my own surprise, I must admit) that my favorite relationships were Donna and Ten, and Bill and Twelve. There was no romance involved in either one, just true friendship, which is still a form of love anyway.

Remember that at the end of Genesis Of The Daleks, the Daleks were trapped in their bunker, for a long time, instead of rampaging through the universe straight away, so history is changed anyway.

The Daleks are the only reason I watched Dr. Who and I grew up watching Tom Baker, so he is the Doctor I know. So I love him.

I didn't like it when Dalek's were able to levitate to bypass the stair issue

Before I watch this, looking at the thumb nail, I get it. My wife is a Whovian, and I'm at the moment, limited to Eccelston onwards - and I swear I can foresee, "oh here comes the cyberman" and, "I wonder what's in there? A dalek? Oh, there they are again." 😂

I agree about your thoughts on the Timeless Child. I personally liked it as it was revealed, because it opened so many doors and so many possibilities for the show to explore. It can give us cool storylines about Gallifrey's past or the Doctor's home universe. Yet it was not really explored at all in season 13 I feel like its potential was wasted. I don't dislike the Timeless Child, but I want it to get more concrete in next seasons.

Gallifrey and the Timelords should be left mysterious. Explaining them diminishes them. In general people's imaginations can create something more interesting than can be told or shown.

maybe the reason the doctor was able to save jake was because after adric he had dedicated some time to have a plan to save the person if a similar situation happened.

I actually appreciated The Timeless Child as being the very best of the 13th's stories. Going back to Classic Who, there were already some internal inconsistencies that could only be resolved if The Doctor had, at a minimum, at least one pre-Hartnell set regenerations. We know, again from Classic Who, that before he started calling himself The Doctor, he was known as Theta Sigma. We even get a Theta Sigma Easter egg in the penultimate episode of Matt Smith's first season (on the cliff face - the first line was "hello sweetie" with the 2nd line being temporal coordinates that started with the Greek letters Theta Sigma.) So my head Canon called this extra set of regenerations that had to exist to make the stories work the Theta Sigma era. While I wasn't thrilled with pretty much anything about the 13th's run - not Jodie's fault. She did an amazing job with the steaming piles of crap that they called stories. I was very glad to see a show runner take the time to resolve all these dangling plot threads - some of which were introduced in the 80s.

With the masters timeliness never quite being fully revealed there is a theory that the sacha master incarnation is before missy and even before simm so the fact that he is villainous again would make sense

The Daleks will never be overused. The Daleks are my favourite Doctor Who monsters, the Cybermen being my second favourite.

My thoughts on the master go along the lines that John Sim didn't regenerate into Michelle Gomez, but into Sacha Dhawan. Since Missy had know idea how she regenerated, it allows for the typical madness to run out in this series but still allows the redemtion arc. As for the Timeless children, my feeling on regeneration is that it requires the timelord in question to be have been in close proximaty to the time vortex recently, like the untempered schisim on Galifrey or in a Tardis radiating artron energy. I mean how often have we seen the doctor regenerate outside of the Tardis? Capalldi left the tardis mid-regeneration to try and stop it, heavily implying my theory is correct. Yes River regenerated without a Tardis nearby, but to be fair nothing about river makes sense at that point.

Love the Trek Videos, just uncovered that you do Doctor Who too, so I am so glad.

Didn't hate the Timeless Child reveal, but I felt revealing it was the Doctor was a bit lazy. In my opinion, it should have been their granddaughter, Susan. That would have been a perfect explanation on why they left Gallifrey. To protect Susan. Also, I didn't much like the Cyberlords. Gallifrey's survival was such an important thing, and now it's dead again.

In regards to Adrics fate, there is an argument to be made that the reason the Doctor is able to save characters from certain death now and not back then was because the doctor learnt from that failure going forward. They could save Adric back then and has since vowed never to let that kind of fate occur again. The doctor learns from their mistakes too after all and figuring out how to save everyone is something they’d dedicate themselves to following such a loss.

Tbf The Doctor IS a Time Lord. That's never been in question - She just may not be a native Gallifrayan. I like The Timeless Child arch - I think it adds more than it takes away.

All the Timeless Child arc did was canonize the Morbius Doctors and crib from the Cartmel Masterplan. Eh, I can live with it.

It might just be the doctor made that tech after losing adrick to be able to save anyone else that gets in that situation

I thought the Sasha Master was before Missy because all of the stuff that the Sasha Master refers to is old who. There isn't anything from new who

On the Adric point. Maybe the Fifth Doctor never thought of that sort of maneuver. It wasn't in the normal Time Lord playbook, and it just didn't come to his mind. But maybe having centuries to think about how he might've been able to save Adric (like how he had all that time to think about saving River Song) he one day thought of this little strategy. Or maybe he thought of it during the Time War, and used it a few times during that. As they say, hindsight is 20/20. Looking back on these events you can think of so many different ideas that you wouldn't have thought of then because you didn't have the time or experience.

Colin Baker was my favourite Doctor as a kid and to this day, along with the enhancement of his Big Finish presence, he remains my favourite Classic Doctor.

I know the reasons for peoples animosity but I just don’t get it. As Ellie says regarding the timeless child: so what?

I'd actually have been fine IF the "Timeless Child" had died before the Doctor's time and became an ordinary Timelord

There is only one way I think the Timeless Child story can make sense and be fixed... Make The Master the Timeless Child. It will explain so much about how they have been able to cheat the rules of regeneration, because the rules literally do not apply to them. If that's not how it's gonna be, then every time The Doctor doesn't use their regeneration energy to heal people, they are just being a bad person.

I have so much respect for Colin Baker. I'm saddened that things didn't work out with him as The Doctor sense it was a roll he was very much interested in.

I’m fine with the idea of the timeless child…. but think it should’ve been left ambiguous as to who the child was. This could’ve created a really powerful arc where the doctor questions their right to regenerate, as it was essentially stolen from the child, and much of the division plot line from flux (which is extremely underrated) could’ve remained fairly similar to what we got.

The answer to the Master Series 12 question is very, very simple. Chibnall forgot he was writing an existing character and just wrote a villain called The Master and did what he wanted with him. Or just, you know, lazy writing. Or, he could come before the Simm Master in the character's time line.

The Dalecks are one of the greatest sci-fi villains of all time. They can't be reasoned with, they're cold hearted, and they won't stop until they're are destroyed. They're the most insidious villain ever created. I'd like to see a story arc with the Dalecks at war with the Weeping Angels.

I'd argue that they AREN'T cold hearted. They're driven by hate and violence. Heck, one of the reasons they lost control of Skaro to the Movellans at one point was because they were more cold and robotic in their methods than the pepperpots were.
