So what was all this about then…

I’m confused about that too. Maybe it was originally filmed before the reshoots that had him regenerate?

Its the fact that the Rani and Omega were defeated so easily, and in the first 30 minutes? The second half of the episode was like… idk just so weird?? My hubby and I looked at the time left and were both so confused what else we were going to get.

I loved it, but I guess it is pretty divisive. It’s not my favorite finale though. That goes to The Doctor Falls and there are several specials like “The Power of the Doctor” that I like more. I’m hoping we get more of Billie as the Doctor than we got of Ncuti. I think the show needs a more stable Doctor with a longer running companion. At least a two season companion.

Honestly I don’t mind how much time we had with 15, but I would love a longer Doctor for sure. I think that if Billie isn’t 16 and there’s some trickery going on, or if she’s a specials Doctor I’ll be kinda annoyed tbh. I’d rather we didn’t keep wasting numbers like this.

I completely agree! I really hope she’s staying on for a while and it’s not some gimmick or a special thing. I didn’t mind with 14 especially since we got more Donna, but I’d hate to see that happen again so soon.
Also, am I the only one who thinks there is more to Ruby? Aside from the obvious stuff last season she was the only one who could remember Poppy and she could see through Wish World without much effort. The Doctor waved it off as having traveled with him, but I think there is more to her. At least I hope there is and she comes back in the next season to maybe have it explained. Especially since she didn’t get a proper goodbye this season.

and that regeneration? the worst handling of it I’ve seen on the show, by far. Also, what a terrible idea of having Billie Piper as the Doctor (although she isn’t credit anywhere as the Doctor). Essentiatly, for now, is just like bringing back David Tennant to play a new incarnation. I hope he commits to this alfawl idea and makes her a proper Doctor, because it doesn’t matter what the possible copout is for her not to be the real deal, it will be worse then her being the Doctor

Imagine seeing this knowing that in 27 years she would be Doctor Who.
They should do a Girl in the Fireplace/Voyage of the Damned crossover episode in honor of this performance.[1]
I know you would all hate this, but girl, I’d be living. ↩︎

Billie Piper is brilliant 
But I just wanted something new

RTD said in the YouTube video that she’s sensitive to reality shifting because of her experience in 73 Yards. Based on Millie’s comments in the same video that she thinks Ruby is getting back with her band, hanging out with her family, maybe working a job at UNIT since everyone has one (lol), I’m pretty sure she’s gone, which is a real shame. I believe the rumor that she pissed someone off, and whatever it was, I’m sure I’m #TeamMillie.
Imagine if we got Billie and Millie tho. I’d die.

Like, it was so easy to not show the new face and take the proper time to cast someone new. Need a Doctor for speacials? Hell, call back Paul McGann, call back Matt Smith, call back Jo Martin, call back Jodie or even David Tennant. So many Doctors to choose and do a special. It was so easy to not mess this one up

Also how Omega especially was so different to how portrayed previously. & I don’t just mean visually. If you must do fan service go all in or just create new villains RTD.

And I am onboard with that idea 
I too love fun 
David Tennant was a chilling villain in Jessica Jones!
Just let him go full Scots on the accent!

I know, I’m sitting here like:
- Best part of the episode: We got Billie as the Doctor
- Worst part of the episode*: We got Billie as the Doctor
*Aside from Belinda getting rewritten. What’s especially frustrating is if she’d been written from the beginning as a single mum [1] it would have felt like a really nice inclusive moment for the show. Instead it felt like… that.
I can’t be the only one who was expecting Ncuti to turn up in a cameo as Richie, right?
who works two jobs, who loves her kids and never stops, with gentle hands and the heart of a fighter ↩︎

Now I’m thinking maybe the Timeless Child idea was a bad one, if it means RTD thinks that with no regeneration limit he can whizz through as many regenerations as he wants.

Yes, I don’t think any of us here have problems with single mums but to rewrte Belinda’s character felt off. Add that to Anita being pregnant. & Carla Sunday being given a new baby to adopt. Lots of traditional female roles all of a sudden in the finale.
