Fandom containment is breaking. Beginning of a new trend in Ten Forward?
Mutating from going too fast is a better origin than an immortal mysterious child from a mysterious universe that forgot all their memories of said origin.
Which is a shame because there was a crumb of goodness. The space cops plot with the future doctor trying her best to be retired was such a unique idea.
Oh, just the usual retcon of established lore that happens every decade or so. Only this round was very poorly written despite how much I enjoyed the portrayal of The Doctor by Jodie Whittaker.
i was so excited for a female Doctor and then half a season in forgot to check out the new episode and haven't watched since then :') the cinematography became fantastic! the plots though? i guess there was something about uhh, a dead grandfather's watch & demons that did nothing wrong and sci-fi amazon bomb robots? and didn't she do a very un-doctor thing and then detonated those robots without really checking if anybody was holding one somewhere? like i know the doctor is reckless sometimes even to the point of having an ego trip, but that's just fucking stupid and out of character

Unsurprisingly, the highest rated of that run.

Fun fact: Classic Who and Star Trek actually almost had a crossover in the 60s.

Scuse you that was the Cartmel Masterplan. Chibnall merely orchestrated the kazoos
