The Timeless Children


The Timeless Children,

There are spoilers here.

In short, I would have preferred Chibnal left things alone.

Okay is the Master going to pay a price for the destruction of Gallifrey? 
All of the  Timelord's are dead. The Shobogans too. If we accept the Day of the Doctor- There were millions of children of Galifrey. The Master gets away with this.

I am actually fond of the Jo Marten/Ruth Doctor. I want to see more of her. I like her assertiveness which is refreshing

I was not so keen on the fact that the Doctor as the Timeless child, has had nearly infinite lives and thousands of regeneration's. I would have preferred an earlier cycle of regeneration. Something that we know the Timelords can do.

 Why is not there at the end of the Universe with Me/Ashilda?
 The Doctor could have saved everyone in Mawdryn Undead so it seems?
Why did the Eternals, or Sutekh not notice that the Doctor was not different to other Timelords?
Why did Rassilon not bait the Doctor with this information at the End of Time?
Why did Omega not ask for regenerations ?
Why did the Daleks not realize the Doctor was different

 I was watching the confrontation between the Doctor and the Master-ala Cyber lords. I asked, can the Doctor die now? I was not sure anymore

As I said  would have preferred there had been a set of regeneration before Hartnell.  
There is a precedent for this . We do see the Master being offered a new set of regenerations in the Five Doctors by the High Council. We know the Master is revived in the Last Great Time  war. As is Rassilon. This would not have been such a departure from canon The 12 regenerations being an arbitrary line, seems fine

So, I go back to the Name of the Doctor.  If being the Doctor is a promise.
 The Timeless child did not make that promise. Through hundreds of regenerations. Until something happened with the Ruth Doctor.

The Ruth Dr, regenerates, into a young Hartnell. The cycle does not quite begin again she passed on something to Hartnell. Hartnell broke the cycle. Maybe he rescued Susan Then he meets Ian and Barbara and the rest is history....
