I know the Doctor scans RuthDoc she says they are the ‘same person’ but then not that long before this the sonic scan was reading her as human. Doctor Who has played fast and loose with canon before — the supposed “12-regeneration” limit was bypassed in a Matt Smith episode when the Time Lords granted him infinite regenerations, but even then, that didn’t explain the introduction of John Hurt’s War Doctor — but this opens so many new doors for the series. It was the perfect hiding tool that the Doctor only resorted to once under the most dire of circumstances. I wonder what we’ll even call the Ruth Doctor, when the dust settles? But there are already some inconsistencies with a pre-Hartnell theory: the Ruth-Doctor’s TARDIS is already stuck in the shape of a police box, which the 1st Doctor claimed to have happened when he landed in the very first episode in 1963.

It’s about the Doctor, not remembering her past. The Doctor with a gun is always wrong. Like everyone else; wow. I think this is a very clever episode indeed. RUTH: Will you be quiet? The parents’ graves recall Amy and Rory. Is that what we’re going to call her?). Or so we thought. All of which I find quite intriguing. Thirteen and the fam have been/still are in an alternate timeline/universe since some as-yet-undisclosed point. The first half of “Fugitive of the Judoon” gives off a keen sense of déjà vu (it’s like “The Eleventh Hour” and “Smith and Jones” had a baby!) We’re getting loads of ‘look at the past’ hints, but no ‘alternate reality’ hints. Please enable JavaScript on your browser and try again. As for the mystery Doctor, divergent time lines generating alternative universes is a possibility, as @juniperfish suggests. Guest starring Neil Stuke, Jo Martin and Ritu Arya. It almost feels a bit ‘kitchen sink’, bringing back the Master and destroying Gallifrey earlier in the series and now bringing back Jack, hinting at a Cyberman arc and introducing a Doctor from another dimension(? Well it’s about time. . Sci-fi savvy viewers will no doubt work out soon into the episode that Ruth is an alien disguised as human, with some sort of fake personality hiding her true one. To search for the Master. Perhaps the Doctor is going to have to navigate between the Scylla of Gallifrey’s destruction in her own time-line and the Charybdis of Jo Martin Doc’s time-line, where Gallifrey isn’t destroyed, but the Time Lords are full-on imperial fascists. All names, trademarks and images are copyright their respective owners. I’m not buying that this is an alt-timeline version of The Doctor, personally I don’t think the multiverse theory sits well in the DW universe, that was one of my main gripes with Orphan 55, the timeline in DW has always been relatively linear with fixed points in time, it would be too easy to explain away canon continuity and even episode threats by just jumping into a different multiverse. I want more pairings of detective duo of Khan and Sinclair, as the Doctor dubs them. I’d like to think so. Jo Martin in general was a pretty fun Doc herself. Other theories I’ve seen as to what’s going on with the timelines that I don’t think have been mentioned above are that the situation has something to do with the MetaCrisis Doctor and/or Pete’s World, or that Ruth!Doctor is actually an incarnation of the Master.

The big moment of the episode. Already have an account with us? It's not just the Judoon and Captain Jack that give us David Tennant vibes. And why are these alien mercenaries after them? But when you get past the fangasmy potential, it was kind of a mess. @jimthefish I think the logic of using Jack is that not only can he time travel, but he lives a long long time. Doctor Who 12x10 "The Timeless Child" Review, Doctor Who Season 12x09 "Ascension Of The Cybermen" Review. Could’ve been Jack or River – anyone who could reasonably teleport/scoop the fam. She feels more like a splinter. Also, in Moffett’s version the Earth has been visited by Cybermen and Daleks.
@lisa nice spot about the companions not knowing the cybermen or daleks. A whole bunch of stuff to ponder over and a rewatch is required. Captain Jack! You saw what happened when someone shoved a Judoon, What happens when you rip one of their horns off? Alternatively, it’s a constructed world ala “Extremis” or “Last Christmas”. But sending her home is the one thing he cannot do. @juniperfish I’m not convinced this was an alternate timeline Doctor. I wonder if we get a third Doctor this season? But it smacks of an earlier, less grand age. He has no interaction with the Doctor, though he plants a delicious smacker on Graham’s lips in a moment of mistaken identity. That there’s a horrible Time Lord secret. A new Doctor is in. I just have the feeling that what we are watching is all an illusion, and that ultimately the curtain will be drawn back. – "Magic: The Gathering", Reggie Fils-Aime Stopped Nintendo From Changing Its Logo, Yamask Has Returned For October’s Events In Pokémon GO, Silent Hill Pyramid Head and Bubble Head Nurse Return to Good Smile, All of the Walmart Con 2020 Exclusive Funko Pop Reveals, How To Grind XP & Reach Level 40 In Pokémon GO, Barbara Gordon Is Oracle Again in Batman #100 - And Will Be In 2021, The Strange Tale Of Shedinja: A Pokémon GO Catch Like No Other, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite Darkness Rising Event Part 1 Tasks, Supernatural Season 15 Gimme Shelter Preview Images Released, Comics: Comic Book News, Rumors & Information - Bleeding Cool, Funko Talks the Ups and Downs of the NYCC Lottery, Batman #100 - How Punchline Gets Away With It (Spoilers), How The Joker Makes a New Gotham and a New Batman (#100 Spoilers), It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Rob McElhenney Goes Dennis on Trump, Two Members Of Team Xecuter Have Been Arrested, The Ghosts of Pokémon GO: Halloween Is Coming, Dave Bautista and CM Punk Form Tag Team to Take On Donald Trump. First there was the Judoon searching for a fugitive, but a much more realistic Judoon capable of showing far more emotion. Ruth even tears up as she recalls her life, but as the Doctor continues to test Ruth’s identity, she gets more flashes of another life. Wow. Given we now know Timelords can have more than 1 set of regenerations, I.e. spaceship, the Doctor is trying to solve the mystery of Ruth Clayton, an apparently ordinary woman who’s being sought after by the Judoon. Just watched this tonight, and … wow! The Judoon are back! It doesn’t detract from the First Doctor in the slightest and could open up interesting possibilities. Lives in South-West London, works from Blacks on Dean Street, shops at Piranha Comics.

But he doesn’t get a chance to meet the new Doctor himself, because time runs out and he must relay an urgent message to Team TARDIS before the nanogenes zap him off the ship: “Beware the lone Cyberman.” It’s a little overwhelming to think of how the Cybermen (who, let’s not forget, are the cause of Peter Capaldi’s 12th Doctor’s tragic death) could factor into all of this, but I guess that’s for us to find out later. The Master’s obsession with the Doctor, which again has no real in-show explanation beyond ‘stalker boyfriend’.

That Ruth is actually the Doctor, a regeneration we’ve never seen before, who used a Chameleon Arch to make herself human. Affiliate links used when available. Political cartoonist. A few fans about the place suggest she is D2.5: the Bitch from 6B. Thirdly, even if she were somehow been rendered amnesiac*  the hypothesis would need to construct a plausible explanation of how she became so thoroughly entangled with the Time Lords in the first place, and how she got hold of a Tardis of her own. It’ll be interesting to see if our Doctor remembers it. A lot of people have commented on the number of companions, sometimes with justice. Her longtime husband Lee (Neil Stuke) has holes in his backstory and is likely keeping a big secret, one that draws the attention of the Judoon, who are on the hunt for an intergalactic fugitive on the orders of Commander Gat (Ritu Arya). I’d disagree. What if  the ‘thing’ which was sent back  tampered with the time lines and gave rise to the kind of proactive and exceptionally aggressive Time Lord seemingly represented by Gat? She flat out killed someone and though she didn’t want to, there are more effective ways of avoiding this than handing them something that will kill them if they pull the trigger and then simply asking them not to pull it. And handy for Yasmin to invoke local law…. The Master lies, Gallifrey still exists in its pocket universe and the destroyed Gallifrey is another pocket universe stroke duplicate used as a an extra layer of look we’re really really dead. You have to hand it to showrunner Chris Chibnall, who co-wrote this episode with Vinay Patel. It seems there might be three realities at work: Normal, Cyberman Empire and Galifrey Empire. It's the key to time. Such is Chibnall’s heart that he goes one further from “fan-pleasing” to “fan-honouring”. Apart from the fact that it’s told at quite a lick and is gorgeously directed by Nida Manzoor (especially at Gloucester Cathedral and that lighthouse), I love the playfulness of Fugitive of the Judoon.
Viewing 50 posts - 1 through 50 (of 116 total), Doctor Who season 12 episode 5 discussion: Fugitive of the Judoon. Or rather, time-shattering. The Doctor, Yaz, Ryan and Graham race back to Earth in order to prevent them from doing too much damage to the beautiful cathedral city. Gal Gadot Finally Breaks The Silence On Controversial Imagin... Marvel Reportedly Planning To Introduce A Female Ghost Rider... New Batman Set Photo Features Another Look At The Batsuit. Although, it remains to be seen if the high of Vinay Patel’s excellent episode (and to be fair he shares the writing credit with Chibnall) will be continued. Till now, post gap, the Doctor has tended to bond quite intensely with one companion at a time. We also get a flashback to the Next Doctor, with the Doctor meeting herself, and a Chameleon Arch to boot. And shortly before that Mark Gatiss gave a nod to one of his mates in The Crimson Horror. They really are become a close family unit (I really don’t like the “fam” tag myself but I have to admit it does fit them). Which, as far as I recall, made The Doctor very uncomfortable with him, or with what he had been made. Much like the portrayal of David Tennant’s Time Lord in 2013’s “The Day of the Doctor,” his darker edges have been smoothed off and we’re left with the larger-than-life lothario we all love. Or maybe an old one? I am now on wondering if all timelords have had any number regeneration cycles but under normal circumstances their memory of previous cycles wiped  at the beginning  of a cycle except for perhaps for a small cabal of timelords who are controlling Galifreyan Society from the shadows so to speak, and it was this that the master had found out when he said everything the Doctor knew was a lie. just a theory but im thinking parallel world where instead of the time line we know everything is backwards, upside down and inside out. After watching this, I still stand by that. A new Doctor Who, with the Judoon appearing – but they are not the only blast from the past in tonight's episode, that just aired on BBC One. Posted on Monday, January 27th, 2020 by Hoai-Tran Bui. Then there was Captain Jack and I clapped my hands in surprise! @juniperfish I’m delighted too. He has a lot of time in the universe ahead of him. This and last week’s episode felt like a proper Doctor Who episode.
