@WholeWhoniverse we don’t know, probably won’t ever know, and the whole point of her is that the Doctor gains back some mystery and is less burdened by knotty canon
(but it’s fun to think about, as you were!)
@Topinka222@jadexskywalker not mocking anybody? i’ll just keep enjoying Who, thanks - a show that it kept strictly to its own ‘canon’ would be very, very boring (not to mention almost everything you like about the concept was itself a retcon at some point!)
@yeti1227590@jammywho21 i don’t know it was pretty straight forward for newcomers? oh it’s the god of death, got it! a witch lady who seems to know the doctor, alright! omega, some monster trapped deep underground, fine! i get it not being satisfying for fans but at face value, newcomers get it
@TrilbeeReviews@Harry_dr1 oh my goodness lad, it’s just a darkly funny, very much to camera moment - a relatable everyday scenario we see all the time & a woman who just nearly saw the world end
(and we SEE the Severance approving people get their comeuppance, this has been weeks since the meeting)
@AndreiMallare2 reminder that he’s an extremely talented show runner & writer, and in no way needs to physically play the new GoW games to do his job effectively
@WilliamWhoDW so textually in the episode we actually got, they reexamined an oft forgotten aspect of the Doctor through the lens of his companions, literally side lining villains and lore for a very simple story about lost & found children
and that’s bad?
@XiordS_ people are way to quick to lay the blame someone who spearheaded a worldwide revival, employed thousands of people in a premiere studio, moved heaven & earth to accommodate Ncuti’s schedule & delivered 20 episodes across 2 years 🤷���️
@WilCantrell@Joe_Street00937 like, where people see the Onega confrontation as short and anticlimactic - i just see Ncuti’s peak Doctor clash moment, and so clearly not what the finale is textually *about*
@BINNGGUSS@spreadonbread@Ztrangefolk what, the same exact viewership as something like the Last of Us? most shows would kill that kind of stickiness (tho yeah it’s not the mid 2000s anymore, 10m+ aren’t tuning in)
