Verily, in article <

doctor@doctor.nl2k.ab.ca deliver unto us this message:
Save doctor Who! Retcon the Timeless Child!
I've only heard of that indirectly, so it's easy to ignore. :)
This show wasn't originally supposed to be about how superduperspecial
and important the Doctor is. He's a madman in a blue box. In earlier
iterations, it was clear that the Doctor was just some guy -- a Time
Lord, but not a very highly placed one, just some guy who stole a TARDIS
and ran off to see the universe. He has made a name for himself in some
corners through his actions, but he's not the freakin' Chosen One.
The scariest take on the Time Lords remains The War Games. I was also
okay with the reboot's take that there'd been a Time War and Gallifrey
and Skaros were both gone. That was killer, actually. It respected the
old show while also providing a fresh direction for the new one.
Now... I'm not sure what's going on now. I guess the Doctor is the key
to the universe or something. I don't want to watch that mess.
