Okay three people (@manesetgalaxies @back-in-the-rabbit-hole and @hisuian-history-makers Thank you all) gave me permission to ramble about the Timeless Child plotline so here is an undrafted rant about it

Personally, I do not hate it like others tend to, for a start. Yes, of course, when the doctor was simply a mad-man, below-average timelord with a broken blue box, they were more of an under dog, but doesn't it mean more for their species if they were spawned from them?

The fall of Gallifrey and, with it, the fall of the Time Lords. Heartbreaking when the Doctor could have saved them, but more so when they, inadvertently, of course, caused all the pain. Without the Doctor there would be no Time Lords, no Time War and no 2.7 billion children facing their deaths. At least, not on Gallifrey that day.

To consider what it means not just to the Doctor but to the Master. He fell witness to this tale and in response committed undeniable genocide. All because the Doctor was right. They were better than him, even as children, chasing through the streets of Gallifrey.

Fewer questions answered than posed, perhaps, I will give them that. Just how many lifetimes had Tecteun robbed them of? How many friends and companions forgotten?

Though it undoubtedly makes the Forced Regeneration plotline more meaningful, afterall, isn't that just what Tecteun put them through? Thousands, perhaps millions of times? The Master, in full knowledge of this fact, chose this honoured punishment for maximum heartache, I suppose.

I, personally, think it was important that the Doctor be known as more than a Time Lord or an enemy or an ally. Over four billion years they've lived, I think it's worth being the first of something. The first and greatest Time Lord. The best kept secret.

Regardless, we can either spend another sixty years with the same daleks and cybermen and weeping angels, or we can enjoy the show as it develops for itself.

Simple proof that in all time and space, the Doctor lives, somewhere.

I enjoy the Timeless Child plotline because I think it represents all the opportunity in the universe. All that's left for the Doctor to pursue.

And anyway, no one wanted them to stop after 12 lives so don't kid yourselves.
