Oh, bifurcation!

Well, it is evident that RTD likes to have his cake and eat it.

And he did a really nice job of it. Not going to nit pick at all. I like the look of the new fella (though I hope his first act in the Christmas episode is to put some trousers on). He’s going to be more physical and active than any Doctor ever which isn’t a bad thing at all. The Outraged Fans of You Tube have already started to chunter about how this(1) is destroying their childhood memories but since last week’s ‘alone in space with monsters’ story got me wanting to hide behind the sofa for the first time in decades I shall take the opposite point of view. (I would have to but I no longer have a sofa.)

My head canon generator has already gone to using the idea of the line of the Doctor bifurcating having something to do with incorporating the Fugitive Doctor and even the Timeless Child into continuity without tearing everything up.

On the other hand goblins? Pah! If you’re going to give me fantasy role-playing on TV give me a series that has its own cosmos and don’t tack it onto the Whoniverse.

What are they going to do when the Doctor (15) comes back to current day Earth? Will they have to bring the Noble family back in? Will they have the budget for Tennant and Tate? Or will they just have them be off in Peru the way the Brigadier was shuttled off for so many years?

Oh, well RTD’s problem not mine.

(1) ‘This’ in context being the fact that the Doctor is now young, black and a bit more gay than they’re comfortable with.
