Eh, she is not really the chosen one. They used her. Really, it just showed how horrible the Time Lords really are.
She is just this mysterious alien girl that showed up that they took advantage of.

It does add mystery as to who the Doctor really is. This does work with the seventh doctor mythos that the Doctor is something bigger than a time lord.

They made her 'special'. They turned her into something unique, instead of just another Time Lord, who has rebelled against the staid Time Lord society - which was the far more interesting way to do things. The Doctor functions best as a rebel against the society that created him, not as the crux of Time Lord technology or lore. It's so damn boring to do things that way. And so cliched. The Doctor should be special because of the things he does, not because of who she is.

Even though she was special, the Time Lords were cruel to her. They tried to control the Doctor.
I liked how it royally pissed off the Master, because she was special.
Nothing wrong with a character being special in some way. The Doctor never fit in with the Time Lords.

This does fit in with the Who lore. It is just another reason why the Doctor did not get along with the Time Lords.

Show's dead. RTD is just going to double down on the wokeness and the ratings are not going to improve because of that.

Until they admit that turning the show into a vehicle for cultural talking points was what killed it -which RTD won't- no doubt things will continue as they are. Bringing Tennant back might spike viewing figures for a week or two, but the only way to save Who would be to completely reboot at this point.

You called it!

I'm kind of glad I'm not a Doctor Who fan but then again there's another British science fiction franchise that I really do like that's on its way to ruin.

Please don't say it's Red Dwarf.

No. Warhammer 40k.

No. Warhammer 40k.

Oh aye, Warhammers being hammered by the weirds. It's been on their list for a while now.

Is it brexit ?

No obviously it's black adder. Or torchwood

Black adder sci-fi?

 

[Lunarorbit]

Black adder sci-fi?

Yeah that looks out of this world!!!

 

[DeafTourette]

No. Warhammer 40k.

Henry Cavill's Warhammer?

 

[nush]

Black adder sci-fi?

I'd watch that.

 

[Dr. Claus]

Henry Cavill's Warhammer?

Games Workshop. They are gaslighting long standing lore nuts and changing lore to be more “inclusive”. In an army known for being basically racist to anything that isn’t human. .

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I'd watch that.

It would have been glorious!

 

[FunkMiller]

No. Warhammer 40k.

There's not been a mention of anything about the deal with Amazon since December. Probably a good reason for that.

Red Dwarf was ruined years ago, real Red Dwarf is Series 1-6.

It did go downhill, it has to be said

Don't get me wrong, I'll always give it a chance, and it has been nice to see the later series be more focused on the gang fucking around but whenever Doug Naylor tries to do lore stuff he keeps fumbling, the last special that revealed Car was a loser who all the others cats hated and that he was a virgin, etc, was just retconning for retcons sake. Rob Grant always did the Sci-fi and lore stuff best and that's what took a nose dive after he left.

Henry Cavill's Warhammer?

Games Workshop but it will definitely carry over into the show. There's been some speculation that the changes happening to the tabletop game are to appeal to "modern audiences" when the show does come out.
