    Is this fan fic?

    Imagine being such a terrible writer that you erase nearly 60 years of history in one episode. Chibnall has to go, hopefully someone can fix this mess but he might of single handled killed Doctor Who for good.

    No words

    If they can destroy 57 years of lore in 1h is scarry. No show is safe from these people...

    Pure trash

    I've been watching since the Baker Era and have everything from 1963 until present in digital form. In all my years of watching the show, not once have I seen an episode THIS bad. Unless they have some grand scheme under their belt where they'll later retcon this BS out and say that it was The Master screwing with her via the Matrix, this completely ruins everything.

    Poor, confused, William Hartnell YOU are the original Doctor, nobody else.

    Where did The TARDIS come from when the ship explodes? How did The Judoon get in the TARDIS?

    Chibnall had some good ideas, but failed to make a cohesive episode out of them. Way too many plot holes here to make this any higher than a score of 5.

    All I ask from those that blindly say this is excellent, please search for the definition of the word retcon, and just see if you think, as I do, that it applies to this.

    Worst element - awful writing, awful companions, plot holes, The Doctor is no more Gallifreyan.

    Best element - Sacha Dhawan.

    An hour of GARBAGE

    I hate it how when Moffat was the writer, he wanted to write on what the past writers had wanted to achieve, and he did, for a while. Then he left. Chibnall then comes in, writes around like he owns the place, and changes the WHOLE 50+ years of the plot in ONE HOUR. The episode was ok, but what Chibnall has done is ridiculous.

    • Trivia
      The Doctor and The Master arrive upon the desolate ruins of Gallifrey and the Master says, Look upon my works, Doctor, and despair". In 1818, Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote the sonnet 'Ozymandias' which contained the line, "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair." The Doctor had met Shelley in The Haunting of Villa Diodati (2020).
