2020 is such a wild year. Sometimes I look at the calendar and think of everything that's happened and it's tiring.

Since I've been away from Doctor Whow for quite a bit, the all-encompassing negativity and toxicity was just... too much I kind of want to write a little more about the reveal about the timeless child.

I am still honestly baffled at the fandom reaction that thinks Timeless Child reveal makes the Doctor a god, a chosen one, or an immortal.

The Doctor's already an immortal, and not just in the story but because of the function of the show works, the Doctor will never die.

As for being a god and a chosen one... that's the one that baffles me the most. It doesn't change anything about the Doctor, the Doctor is still a renegade, and the Doctor still chose to run away. But for me, as a new Classic Who viewer, I feel like it helps me give context to the Doctor more, and actually Hits Different now.

The post here. ( some snippets and thoughts )
