i actually remember those lines, with the blue head in the box talking, wtf was about that after all? i dont remember much but i remember it was an special episode in term of lore but kinda they let it there
This channel is like if Watchmojo Doctor Who lists were actually GOOD like you can tell that the people making the videos on this channel actually KNOW Doctor Who canon and have SEEN the episodes and some of the extended media stuff and it really seems like they actually love the show and it makes me SO happy dude.
I think the weeping angels were proof that sometimes it‘s better to leave an awesome villain shrouded in mystery in a single episode than try to bring them back and make them less mysterious.
@@QueenStodge I absolutely love Midnight and Season 8's Listen, we never get to know what they look like and no matter how much we search on the web, no fan can ever give us a proper answer that will satisfy us....
I think the Reapers showing up in “Father’s Day” was due to the huge number of paradoxes existing at the same time. We had three of Rose, two the Doctor, and a live Pete. Granted, one of each Rose and Doctor did vanish, but they were there for an instant, which was likely enough to summon the Reapers. Remember, in our universe, it is a TV show, so there will be inconsistencies. Out in the multiverse, there are numerous universes where the Doctor exists, and everything makes sense, in a timey-wimey way... :)
Jeff Brewer I think that makes sense because that means that they won’t show up every paradox but personally they should have reappeared when river didn’t kill the doctor
I think Father’s Day, as you said, has too many paradoxes that are unresolvable. There is no way to resolve the future in which Pete is alive unless you kill him, ergo the Reapers are summoned to take care of it. Most other paradoxes in the show are resolved in some way.
There were so many plans in the sarah jane adventures and its very sad that Elizabeth Sladen passed away. There could be a possibility of doing big finish stories with a impersonator
Because they wanted to change her into a cowardly office clerk with an attitude problem. Sophie rightfully turned down the roll saying "that isn't Ace". I love you sophie for not helping ruin Ace's character for the sake of P.C. culture (oh yeah FYI she wouldn't have been bomb mad anymore and actually looked down on people for blowing things up -_- A grade fanfiction writing).
Really? I guess its a matter of personal opinion, but I just don’t agree. Out of 41 episodes he wrote 7. And those 7 episodes included the disappointingly non-sci-fi Countryside and the two episodes which were the sort of thing a horny teenage virgin nerd would write - aliens feeding off sexual energy and a kinky half cyberman, half semi-dressed woman. He writes either dull stuff or really immature stuff. The last two series of Torchwood were where they finally showed evidence that they knew which audience they were targeting. The storylines were compelling and intelligent and Chris Chibnall was nowhere to be seen. Interestingly, Chibnall is on record as saying he didn’t think these two series were as good as the ones he was involved with. But then he would.
I'm legitimately more annoyed at Jack not showing up than anything else in the finale. Jack turned out to have NOTHING to do with the Cyberman plot. it made no sense.
“Explaining” it would kill it stone dead. Midnight was brilliant as it was. Possibly the best thing NuWho ever did (along with Blink) Leave. It. Alone. They destroyed the weeping angels with too much exposure. They would totally destroy the Midnight entity by revisiting it. It’s what Doctor Who _should_ be like. Mystery and terror.
The Silurians: Hey we live inside the Earth and have been doing so for a very long time! Also Silurians: Wait, there are tons of baby arachnids living inside the earth?
My pick would be Gus from Mummy on the Orient Express, or rather, the people who were behind him. They were never exposed or thwarted at the end of the episode. They seem to have a roadshow version of the SCP Foundation going on. They're resourceful enough to *phone* the TARDIS. That's lots of writing room!
Yeah it may have been implied to be Missy, but I think Gus becomes more frightening if you see him as a villain of his own with no connection to the main series arc.
The kovarian chapter actually makes sense, they left because they succeeded, the doctor was supposed to die at that lake, and he "did" the robo suit thing died and that completed the circuit, their whole mission was to make sure that the doctor did die there, thus they made River, once he completed his death for them, they were done, so they left.
Their mission was to try to prevent The Doctor from ending up at Trenzalore because the war there lasted for centuries and caused untold destruction. But they failed because The Doctor outsmarted them and he ended up there anyway.
Two things: a) Ace set up a foundation as revealed in Sarah Jane Adventures "The Death of the Doctor" b) Chibnall had a hell of a lot of experience writing for Jack on Torchwood
@@whydontyouhandledeez I have to agree. The use of the word "fuck" in Torchwood shocked the shit outta me from episode 1, which was never used in DW, though they're the same universe and crossed over from one show to the next. It made no sense to me for them to swear in one series but not the other, even though they were connected. The writing was sub-par in relation to DW, and I was less than impressed with the series as a whole.
@@nactrumofficial5450its, an 18+ show, what did you expect? The second episode had a monster that killed by having sex but its the word fuck that upset you?
It’s weird that in “Don’t Blink”, the reason that the characters survived was because the angels were tricked into looking at each other and therefore trapping themselves because even the angels cause themselves to turn to stone if they look at each other, but after this episode, any other angel centric episode never brings this back up again and it’s never used as a method to escape the Weeping Angels.
Yeah that always bothered me, there were times when i could visibly see the angels looking at eachother and moving just fine. It seemed to me that the angels were godlike in their debut episode, and then go downhill from there ): a shame
in the flux: village of the angels, that escape was revisited as the doctor and Jericho were back to back staring at angels on both sides. the doctor tells Jericho to run to the side to leave both sides staring at each other but the plan fails. but it could've worked still
1:24 This is one of those things I hope never gets an answer as it just adds mystery. Another example of this sort of thing is how the Doctor still didn't fully understand the entity from The Satan Pit. 6:38 I think Classic Who fans have explained it as "Time Lord is a rank not a species" which makes sense seeing as characters like the Doctor and Master had to go to Time Lord Academy.
@@thelonggame9583 technically he said he only acknowledged it's physical existence and he doesn't tell Rose what it is after she asks what he thought it was.
The thing about the event is Father's Day that many seem to forget :P is that specific wound in time was a very vulnerable one. More than any others. Because when Rose saved her dad she did it in front of her past self that was there minutes before this along with the past Doctor. This led to their past selves simply disappearing because the events that led Rose and the Doctor to go there for a 2nd time never happened anymore and they got trapped in a sort of time-loop inside the wound with the TARDIS being thrown out of it.
The Midnight Entity was never dropped; it was never meant to be explained. Fear of the unknown makes it scarier, and the mystery is far more interesting than any answer we could have ever gotten
The Valeyard is mentioned in Twice Upon A Time by the Testimony Avatar when showing the First Doctor his future. To be fair they cut out all the jokes.
It’s my theory that the reapers only appear when someone tries to alter fixed points in time. The reason why they don’t appear is because the other paradoxes are done during flexible points and won’t cause catastrophic damage to the timeline
In that case the reapers should have appeared at the end if The Waters if Mars. The deaths of the astronauts on Mars was explicitly a fixed point in time when the Doctor had that ‘Timelord Victorious’ breakdown and rescued them. Not strictly a paradox though
I thought Season 7 of New Who in particular was filled with dangling plot threads. What became of all the splinter Claras? We never see any again. (Personally, I'm okay with this.) The Doctor spends a lot of time (mostly between episodes) erasing mentions of himself from databases all over the universe, but it comes to nothing. It serves no purpose in the end and is just dropped. In "The Time of the Doctor," the events on Trenzalore are changed thanks to the intervention of the Time Lords, which means the Doctor doesn't die there, which means his tomb isn't there, which means Clara doesn't enter his time stream via the tomb to become splinter selves, which essentially means the Doctor should never have met Clara... (And yet she's still there. Clara is always still there. We cannot escape Clara.)
You are mistaken. The tomb WILL end up there, it WILL happen, that was just not the time it was supposed to happen. C.O. Oswald, Clare Os-Os, Cleary Oswaldian, and all the other past and future splinters can still show up.
I'm sorry to say that that wasn't the Doctor's tomb, that was the Tardis' tomb, The Doctor themself wasn't there it was only the corpse of the Tardis, eventually the Tardis will die and the Doctor shall take it to it's final resting place. The many places Clara ended up were precisely where the Tardis needed her to go to remove the previous changes, as we've seen the Tardis registers every location it has been or will be, considering the Great Intelligence used it to travel to every location it stands to reason those locations would be recorded.
Only one thing changed on Trenzalore, the Doctor didn't die. That didn't alter the past in any way, so as Doc Brown once put it, "Your future hasn't been written. So make it a good one!"
@@SKINNYGINGERTOP I got to see a bit of their real-life connection in The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot (2013) vimeo.com/96278659 I didn't see the full video on RUclips.... where they humorously blend the show and the real actors lives in a fun adventure. You get to see the actors as both the characters and the real people blending the show, lore, and the real world in a fun and rewarding 30-minute adventure. It's a fun blend of many things real and imaginary.
Ooooh the Valeyard is a biggie. When the Virgin New Adventures books were a thing writers were asked to not write him into a story as it might get a little too complex and create holes. He has however popped up in a number of audios, including one where he himself is put on trial. Ultimately he is the reason why the 6th Doctor regenerates (again in Big Finish) as the Time Lord sacrifices himself to prevent becoming The Valeyard, and even then he doesn't know if it'll work until he hears the voice of the 7th coming through. Personally I'd love to see ol' Val return......... no idea why.
The Valeyard is (kind of) in one of the Missing Adventures: Millenial Rites by Craig Hinton. Not a spoiler, it is signposted heavily on the cover! But generally yes it was discouraged by the editors at the time. Sigh, I kinda miss those days...
I never thought they would return to The Valeyard storyline on TV until Simeon name-dropped him in _The Name Of The Doctor._ At that point I thought they would do something soon, like when Eleven was supposed to die on Trenzalore but got a new batch of regenerations instead. There were many good points to link the Valeyard into there.
I loved that episode because it showed the Daleks' intelligent and calculating side. They outfoxed the Doctor. They didn't just show up, blast everything, miss everyone, and then explode like usual. Such a shame the impure Daleks had a Power Rangers binge before spawning their brethren.
I think the reapers never returned because during the events of ‘fathers day’ it was an extreme example of a paradox because the doctor and rose were seen by the other versions of them and roses father didn’t die, that is two paradoxes in one event so that’s probably why the reapers came, the other paradoxes weren’t as extreme because they are one paradox in one event
If I ever end up writing for doctor who I will bring back the rani. We have the rest of the timelords appearing so there is no reason to not have her appear.
They can't get the rights for her. Under the old system, writers own the characters they create hence why they have to pay a lot of money every time they use the Daleks.
It was a very interesting and unique episode and I liked it for that. However since no sequel was made for it and thus was most likely intentional, the ending to it wasn’t right (as in where the doctor said how they’ll fix all this and yet we didn’t see it. the final goodbye message was chilling tho)
You was right the first time with the Reapers, it was a special set of circumstances. Rose only saves her Dad after already failing to save her Dad and seeing him Die. "I know what I'm doing, you don't. Two sets of us being there made that a vulnerable point"
acording to the writer of the episode (Steven Moffatt i think) left it up to the viewer, however, he did write her with being the Doctors mother. this is showcased mainly by a shot of Donna in the background with her mother in the foreground after wilfred asks the doctor who the lady is. I'm a big o'l nerd
Looking at it now I’m thinking it’s Susan because The Doctor’s actual mother is a bitch who experimented on a small child for decades to help advance her own people

I feel like the appearance of the Reapers was a rather unique paradox... because a lot of the times the paradoxes that exist don't involve the Tardis inhabitants crossing over their own timeline, doing something that directly affects their own past in a sizable manner. Rose saving her dad though... was exactly that. It was a paradox that was not easily accounted for. A child with a dead parent going back to save their parent but then if that parent was alive, they'd never gone back in time to save that parent, perhaps never time traveled at all impacting events that she was already a part of, creating this massive tangle. The closest I recall we have to this severe of a paradox is the end of time humans invading present day, but for that the Tardis was heavily modified to protect that paradox, likely preventing such intervention.
Missed some major examples that are very important to the canon of the series. 1. The Doctor's promise to return visit Susan Foreman! This is arguably the most important plot point that was dropped from the entire series. In its original context The Doctor was promising Susan that he would return for her. This was something I kept wanting to see followed up on once I first learned of it. All during, Tom Baker up to the first cancelation. Once the Show was rebooted... I just 'knew' this would be addressed each season, just to be disappointed, again! 2. What happened to the Black Guardian? Through out the trail I had thought it would be revealed that the Valeyard would be the Black Guardian or, later in the serial, the Valeyard was 'splintered' off of the Doctor by the Black Guardian for revenge. 3. What happened to the 'Rejuvenation' ability. {At this point my comments kept getting clipped. Think it relates to copy pasting the Actresses names from webpages because it clips right at the name. So I have edited. Have Jodie attempt a Rejuvenation. It goes wrong. This kills The Doctor triggering the standard Regeneration. Fourteen would then be portrayed by Jenna-Louise Coleman. No I do not want to start a Flame War, but she is one of the top three companions. Sarah Jane, the best, and not sure between Clara and Susan. Why does the bad guy have to kill The Doctor each time? A refreshing reason to the actor's change. 4. Genny. Spelled this was because it is short for generator. Normally spelled Ginny or Jenny. Think officially it is Ginny, ut I do not know off the top of my head. Knew someone that had this spelling in real life. Honorable mention. 5. What happened to Adric and Romana?
One thing which is a sort of dropped plot is the Time War. The one thing about that is the Doctor put Gallifrey into a time lock to protect his home from the Daleks. However, now that Gallifrey is out of the lock, the Daleks either haven't noticed or don't care. COME ON!!!!
There are 2 abandoned plot threads that I'd really like to see revisited. 1. The Minister Of War. Casually teased in Before The Flood and never mentioned again... 2. Harmony Shoal. Last seen infiltrating UNIT in The Return Of Doctor Mysterio, they could easily have reappeared in Series 10, but no. And now Chibnall has done away with UNIT, we'll likely never see that picked up on. Moffat's era really was a mess.
The Villain Alliance kind of did re-form in this post-Pandorica version of the universe at the end of the Matt Smith run for the exact same purpose. They were all there circling Christmas on Trenzalore, we just didn't get to see them hanging out together like in Pandorica.
My headcannon is the Reapers appear in paradoxes where a person is too close or touches their past/future self. And that's why the Doctor is a bit reluctant whenever he comes in contact with another Doctor. Because it might summon reapers. In the wedding episode with Rose we had a double paradox, they went back in time twice to the same period and actually managed to erase themselves as the first visit. That might be a reason too
I think the metacrisis doctor will become the valeyard. Hes between his 12th(Tennant 2nd regen) and final (smith) regeneration. Also it would be great to bring tennant back as a villian
The biggest 'what happened' moment to me in modern Doctor Who was what happened between Name of the Doctor and Day of the Doctor, what the hell happened with that cliffhanger.
What happened to Jenny the Doctor's Daughter. Davies said she hit a piece of space junk and fell into a sun, which makes me sad. Georgia Moffett doesn't even need to come back, Jenny could have regenerated so a new actress could pick her up. having Jenny meeting 13 and saying "Hello Dad" tickles me pink
Midnight was the scariest episode of Doctor Who for me. Not the monster, although the monster was scary. It's how the people react to it. It was entirely too realistic to how real people would react in the worst possible way. The Alliance came together to beat the Doctor because his TARDIS was going to blow and destroy the entire universe. EVERYONE was going to become nonexistent, so there was a huge motivation for them to team up and not fight each other. Nothing short of complete destruction would cause them to team up again.
1. The Doctor's Mother (maybe?) in The End of Time. Although the MASSIVE retcon means that she now CAN'T be the Doctor's mother or sister, so... who was she?
@@IngwazViking ROFL!! Oh yeah, that never happened before! I like this explanation of regeneration way more than the 'you just have to be conceived near a timey wimey thing' that gave River Song her regenerations! Those (more or less) 50 years of history only stayed consistent when it was convenient and most fans gave them a pass... UNTIL a woman became Doctor. Now, all of the sudden, any deviation is unforgivable.
I have a theory about the midnight entity. Basically if you remember house from "The Doctor's Wife" episode, house was a living planet who didn't have a physical form except for said planet. What I am proposing is that the midnight entity is the planet Midnight or at least a certain part of it, similar to house. It would make sense as the planet is one thing that wouldn't be vapourised by the planet's surface, because it is the planet. My explanation to why it picked off this particular shuttle is that maybe it was dormant and just happened to wake up when this shuttle came to pass. Or something to do with the doctor's presence? You have to admit that House and the midnight entity have similarities, they posess or corrupt beings that come into contact with them, they both seem to have a connection to fear (House seemed to enjoy scaring and toying with Amy and Rory and the midnight entity picked on Sky Sylvester, who was the most scared)
in regards to The Valeyard check out Big Finish Doctor Who: Afterlife Unbound: He Jests at Scars... (a what if the Valeyard had won story) The Eighth Doctor - Doctor Who: Time War 3 story 4: The War Valeyard Doctor Who: The Sixth Doctor - The Last Adventure story 4: The Brink of Death Doctor Who: The Sixth Doctor Adventures - Doctor Who: Trial of the Valeyard
The Valeyard played off Bernice Summerfield brilliantly in Every Dark Thought as well. Won't mind a Valeyard V Torchwood story, either by Big Finish or on TV.
I think the crack gave the angels extra powers like being able to keep their form when they move and being able to project themselves from screens and being able to acquire new angels
When they first went to that alternate dimension that Rose ended up stuck on The Doctor said that when the time lords were around it was easier to go to other dimensions, since we know they are around now I think it would be interesting to have a reason to go back to that dimension and see the meta crisis doctor and rose. Since he is human Tennent being older would make complete sense
I LIKE Clara's ending. Helps that she's my favorite companion. Also, I like that she was frozen between heartbeats and her next when, whenever that will be, will be her last. I think The Doctor literally said something like, "You may have 5 minutes or 15 years, but your next heart beat will be your last." And I think that's a crazy way to "live" but also, we all could be dead 5 minutes from now or may get another 15 years. It's a nice, interesting sci-fi way to put it. She's the same as us and different at the same time. It's pretty cool. And I like that she gets a happy and bittersweet, tragic ending all at the same time. Only in something like Doctor Who is that even possible, imo.
Please for the love of God stop mentioning the reapers. I explain this in the comments every time. The reason why we never see them again, despite paradoxes, is because of what happened. Rose and the Doctor essential interfered with their own history, literally changing it before their past selves' very eyes, causing the past rose and doctor to just disappear. That is something we have not seen again since in the show. We've seen characters change what they know about their future, but never interfered with their previous selves
Rich. Thank you for Who Culture. Great content and fills the void not having new Doctor Who episodes. I LOVE the podcasts. I listen on my long drive home after work. Great job. Thank you 🙌
Good list, but I have six comments: 1. You forgot the major unexplored thread of the Doctor as Merlin, which was brought up in “Battlefield “ with the Seventh Doctor. There should be a huge series of stories with potentially many Doctors. 2. If you look closely at the “Midnite” episode, Sky Silvestri describes a bad lesbian relationship that she is trying to forget and run away. I’ve always thought she was running from the Rani or similar female baddie. If it was the Rani, then the Midnite entity could be one of her creations. 3. Don’t forget the Rani mystery. What happened to her anyway? 4. Whatever happened with the Doctor’s daughter? 5. Whatever happened with Mickey and Martha? 6. Whatever happened to River Song, who seemed to be “alive” in some way within the Library computer? She also seemed to be able to exist outside of the Library computer in some way that the Doctor saw her too. I forget the episode where the Doctor tells her ghost (?) goodbye.
PhaserClash they aren’t officially canon. The show won’t ever refer to the audios before they write a script in case they override or ruin the continuity of the audios they just carry on as normal and write their scripts. If there’s no safeguarding there for how their continuity affects the shows then it shows they’re not really officially canon
Yeah I would say they are Canon it's like with other things she wouldn't say DC Comics aren't coming in the DC Universe just because their Comics that's dumb
My personal theory is that the Meta-Crisis Doctor IS The Valeyard. According to the Master, The Valeyard is an, at the time, future incarnation of The Doctor set somewhere between their 12th and final incarnations. If we take that as meaning the thirteen incarnations The Doctor had between being The Timeless Child, and getting new regenerations in Time of The Doctor, that would set him somewhere between David Tennant's half regeneration, and Matt Smith's incarnation. The only one that fits that bill is the Meta-Crisis Doctor. It also makes sense that the Meta-Crisis Doctor would resent his other self for trapping him in an alternate universe with a single life time. It's also even hinted at that the Meta-Crisis is a darker incarnation of The Doctor, being a clone of the Doctor as he was in The Christmas Invasion, where he lost the hand that the clone grew out of.
You know something that freaked me out? The episode 'Listen' from the 12th Doctor era. Where he travels to the end of the Universe and he's in that spaceship room and there's something outside banging on the door. I INSTANTLY thought "Is that the Midnight entity..?" We never found out what was knocking... Midnight, for me, is probably the scariest episode I've ever seen of DW... I get goosebumps just thinking about it... “We must not look at goblin men. We must not buy their fruits. Who knows upon what soil they fed heir hungry thirsty roots?”
One dropped idea that comes the mind was the Dalek redesigns from Victory of the Daleks. Outside a few cameos, we never really got to see them perform their assigned roles on TV before their design was dropped and the show returned to the classic design. The reason for this was mainly due to fans not reacting well to the new designs. While we never got an reason in the show for their disapperance there is techinically a explanation for it in a unlikely place. According to a article from the Radio Times, at the Doctor Who Experience there was a Dalek ship you would enter, in which there was a exchange between the resdsign Daleks and a army bronze/classic Daleks who belong to Davros. The two sides were fighting over who are the true pure Daleks and given the fact we've not seen the redesigns for a long time now, it's clear that Darvos's army won and are the current dominate faction. So once again splintering Dalek factions had led to another civil war, just a shame we didn't get to see it on screen as it would have been great to have a fall scale Dalek civil war with current effects.
On the "thousand years til we have to share Earth with the Silurians" thing...that time hasn't elapsed yet. The deal only took place a few years agp (our time) so, by my reckoning, we have nine-hundred and ninety-some years to wait for that particular plot thread to evolve. In the new canon, that's a few hundred regenerations away yet. By that time, the Doctor could be a hybrid cyberdalek.
With metacrisis Doctor and Rose, I guess as a future thing they could come back to the show and have aged, since both of them will age in canon. So that would leave an opening for a future appearance, that would explain the fact that they are now older. All they would have to do would be doing some flash back to bad wolf bay and the part where they are handed the part of the Tardis(will the Tardis part grow in to a "Neutral" Tardis, or will it grow in to a police box Tardis?), add the scene, and then write them in again.
I don’t want them to revisit Midnight entity, that’s what appealing about it.
Like the weeping angels, their first episode was amazing
Exactly the unknown is what made it scary
Over use kills stuff
I don't want them to revisit Midnight entity, that's what appealing about it.

I think the Reapers showing up in “Father’s Day” was due to the huge number of paradoxes existing at the same time. We had three of Rose, two the Doctor, and a live Pete. Granted, one of each Rose and Doctor did vanish, but they were there for an instant, which was likely enough to summon the Reapers. Remember, in our universe, it is a TV show, so there will be inconsistencies. Out in the multiverse, there are numerous universes where the Doctor exists, and everything makes sense, in a timey-wimey way... :)
Jeff Brewer I think that makes sense because that means that they won’t show up every paradox but personally they should have reappeared when river didn’t kill the doctor
@@jerbinatorcc4999 It was always the Doctor in the Teselecta. He was never killed
Frank Hughes yea but he was meant to
I think Father’s Day, as you said, has too many paradoxes that are unresolvable. There is no way to resolve the future in which Pete is alive unless you kill him, ergo the Reapers are summoned to take care of it. Most other paradoxes in the show are resolved in some way.
I think all deaths are fixed points. Altering that would bring the reapers.
With Ace, she was meant to appear in the S5 finale of The Sarah Jane Adventures but obviously that couldn't happen following Liz Sladens passing
There were so many plans in the sarah jane adventures and its very sad that Elizabeth Sladen passed away.
There could be a possibility of doing big finish stories with a impersonator
According to Sarah Jane in "Death of the Doctor", Ace returned to Earth and started a successful charity foundation, "A Charitable Earth".
Because they wanted to change her into a cowardly office clerk with an attitude problem. Sophie rightfully turned down the roll saying "that isn't Ace". I love you sophie for not helping ruin Ace's character for the sake of P.C. culture (oh yeah FYI she wouldn't have been bomb mad anymore and actually looked down on people for blowing things up -_- A grade fanfiction writing).
Venem Ehhh maybe not, although I wouldn’t mind if some books about the missing stories were published
@@JimMeans1 This is followed on from in Sophie's excellent Doctor Who book At Childhood's End.
I'm shocked there's no mention of the doctor's daughter. I'm still hoping to see her in the show some more.
Yes oh my time lord Yes so much potential there they can do so much with that
I think they had a picture of Jenny on screen in the introduction
Chris Chibnall wrote Jack so spot on because he wrote loads of the best Torchwood episodes 😂 but damn, I wish he’d bring Jack back for more :/
Fingers crossed 🤞Christmas special🎄
Really? I guess its a matter of personal opinion, but I just don’t agree. Out of 41 episodes he wrote 7. And those 7 episodes included the disappointingly non-sci-fi Countryside and the two episodes which were the sort of thing a horny teenage virgin nerd would write - aliens feeding off sexual energy and a kinky half cyberman, half semi-dressed woman. He writes either dull stuff or really immature stuff. The last two series of Torchwood were where they finally showed evidence that they knew which audience they were targeting. The storylines were compelling and intelligent and Chris Chibnall was nowhere to be seen. Interestingly, Chibnall is on record as saying he didn’t think these two series were as good as the ones he was involved with. But then he would.
I'm legitimately more annoyed at Jack not showing up than anything else in the finale. Jack turned out to have NOTHING to do with the Cyberman plot. it made no sense.
I think he wrote the character well but didn’t use the character well at all
He might for christmas specail or hopefully series 13. 🤞🤞🍀fingers crossed

Underrated comment omg 😂
“Explaining” it would kill it stone dead. Midnight was brilliant as it was. Possibly the best thing NuWho ever did (along with Blink) Leave. It. Alone. They destroyed the weeping angels with too much exposure. They would totally destroy the Midnight entity by revisiting it. It’s what Doctor Who _should_ be like. Mystery and terror.
Chibnall used his best crayons when he was writing that minute of jacks screentime
He wrote most of Torchwood as well tho
The Silurians: Hey we live inside the Earth and have been doing so for a very long time!
Also Silurians: Wait, there are tons of baby arachnids living inside the earth?
You bring up one hell of a point...
TRUE I FORGOT ABOUT THAT
One plot/enemy they absolutely ran into the ground were the Weeping Angels. They went from being terrifying monsters to goofy and outlandish bad guys.
I like to think river song just went and hunted down the whole chapter
Sounds like something she would do
Yep
Yeah, that would make sense.
that did kinda happen in The Diary of River Song, volume 3. it was rlly fun to listen to, would defo recommend (:
Would also be fitting- killed by the "weapon" they created.
My pick would be Gus from Mummy on the Orient Express, or rather, the people who were behind him. They were never exposed or thwarted at the end of the episode. They seem to have a roadshow version of the SCP Foundation going on. They're resourceful enough to *phone* the TARDIS. That's lots of writing room!
It's implied to have been Missy who was behind it
Yeah it may have been implied to be Missy, but I think Gus becomes more frightening if you see him as a villain of his own with no connection to the main series arc.
The kovarian chapter actually makes sense, they left because they succeeded, the doctor was supposed to die at that lake, and he "did" the robo suit thing died and that completed the circuit, their whole mission was to make sure that the doctor did die there, thus they made River, once he completed his death for them, they were done, so they left.
Their mission was to try to prevent The Doctor from ending up at Trenzalore because the war there lasted for centuries and caused untold destruction. But they failed because The Doctor outsmarted them and he ended up there anyway.
Two things:
a) Ace set up a foundation as revealed in Sarah Jane Adventures "The Death of the Doctor"
b) Chibnall had a hell of a lot of experience writing for Jack on Torchwood
Chibnall wrote for Torchwood? No wonder I thought the show was rubbish despite Harkness being probably my favorite character.
@@whydontyouhandledeez I have to agree. The use of the word "fuck" in Torchwood shocked the shit outta me from episode 1, which was never used in DW, though they're the same universe and crossed over from one show to the next. It made no sense to me for them to swear in one series but not the other, even though they were connected. The writing was sub-par in relation to DW, and I was less than impressed with the series as a whole.
@@nactrumofficial5450its, an 18+ show, what did you expect? The second episode had a monster that killed by having sex but its the word fuck that upset you?
It’s weird that in “Don’t Blink”, the reason that the characters survived was because the angels were tricked into looking at each other and therefore trapping themselves because even the angels cause themselves to turn to stone if they look at each other, but after this episode, any other angel centric episode never brings this back up again and it’s never used as a method to escape the Weeping Angels.
Yeah that always bothered me, there were times when i could visibly see the angels looking at eachother and moving just fine. It seemed to me that the angels were godlike in their debut episode, and then go downhill from there ): a shame
Theres 1 episode where you see a weeping angel stuck looking in a mirror. But thats about it.
Most places where we see angles looking at eachother, the light eventually go out and they escape.
in the flux: village of the angels, that escape was revisited as the doctor and Jericho were back to back staring at angels on both sides. the doctor tells Jericho to run to the side to leave both sides staring at each other but the plan fails. but it could've worked still
I dont want to be that person but the episode is called 'blink'.
“The Doctor just goes, *oh crap it’s you again!* “
😂
Actually heard it in Jodie's voice, also, hey Steve! :D
Jenny was also a plot point I wish they would have made more episodes about, because she just gets in a ship and flys of.
1:24 This is one of those things I hope never gets an answer as it just adds mystery. Another example of this sort of thing is how the Doctor still didn't fully understand the entity from The Satan Pit.
6:38 I think Classic Who fans have explained it as "Time Lord is a rank not a species" which makes sense seeing as characters like the Doctor and Master had to go to Time Lord Academy.
he did know the entity from the satan pit, satan
@@thelonggame9583 technically he said he only acknowledged it's physical existence and he doesn't tell Rose what it is after she asks what he thought it was.
correct
The fact that we know nothing about the midnight entity is part of what makes that episode SO good. I wouldn't touch it, it's perfect.
The thing about the event is Father's Day that many seem to forget :P is that specific wound in time was a very vulnerable one. More than any others. Because when Rose saved her dad she did it in front of her past self that was there minutes before this along with the past Doctor. This led to their past selves simply disappearing because the events that led Rose and the Doctor to go there for a 2nd time never happened anymore and they got trapped in a sort of time-loop inside the wound with the TARDIS being thrown out of it.
They should've kept the Weeping Angels like the Midnight Entity, they became more and more overused and started to become ridiculous
The Midnight Entity was never dropped; it was never meant to be explained. Fear of the unknown makes it scarier, and the mystery is far more interesting than any answer we could have ever gotten
The Valeyard is mentioned in Twice Upon A Time by the Testimony Avatar when showing the First Doctor his future. To be fair they cut out all the jokes.
It’s my theory that the reapers only appear when someone tries to alter fixed points in time. The reason why they don’t appear is because the other paradoxes are done during flexible points and won’t cause catastrophic damage to the timeline
They should have shown up for Lake Silencio then.
Alexandar Hull-Richter I’m sure they would have if they didn’t resolve the paradox
@@olivergaither they didn't have the chance, technically speaking. Time broke instead. Time only started to exist again because they solved it.
Alexandar Hull-Richter that’s what I was trying to say, though I admit that you said it better than I did
In that case the reapers should have appeared at the end if The Waters if Mars. The deaths of the astronauts on Mars was explicitly a fixed point in time when the Doctor had that ‘Timelord Victorious’ breakdown and rescued them. Not strictly a paradox though
I thought Season 7 of New Who in particular was filled with dangling plot threads. What became of all the splinter Claras? We never see any again. (Personally, I'm okay with this.) The Doctor spends a lot of time (mostly between episodes) erasing mentions of himself from databases all over the universe, but it comes to nothing. It serves no purpose in the end and is just dropped. In "The Time of the Doctor," the events on Trenzalore are changed thanks to the intervention of the Time Lords, which means the Doctor doesn't die there, which means his tomb isn't there, which means Clara doesn't enter his time stream via the tomb to become splinter selves, which essentially means the Doctor should never have met Clara... (And yet she's still there. Clara is always still there. We cannot escape Clara.)
You are mistaken. The tomb WILL end up there, it WILL happen, that was just not the time it was supposed to happen. C.O. Oswald, Clare Os-Os, Cleary Oswaldian, and all the other past and future splinters can still show up.
The Doctor would have met Clara either way since Missy gave her the Doctors number.
I'm sorry to say that that wasn't the Doctor's tomb, that was the Tardis' tomb, The Doctor themself wasn't there it was only the corpse of the Tardis, eventually the Tardis will die and the Doctor shall take it to it's final resting place.
The many places Clara ended up were precisely where the Tardis needed her to go to remove the previous changes, as we've seen the Tardis registers every location it has been or will be, considering the Great Intelligence used it to travel to every location it stands to reason those locations would be recorded.
Only one thing changed on Trenzalore, the Doctor didn't die. That didn't alter the past in any way, so as Doc Brown once put it, "Your future hasn't been written. So make it a good one!"
The trickster. Yes I know it's sja but it's a pain that we never saw him lose permanently
I believe he also had some influence in torchwood as well. Would have been cool for another crossover between the three
He was supposed to come back in series 5 SJA, Sky was supposed to defeat him permanently.

@@SKINNYGINGERTOP I got to see a bit of their real-life connection in The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot (2013) vimeo.com/96278659 I didn't see the full video on RUclips.... where they humorously blend the show and the real actors lives in a fun adventure. You get to see the actors as both the characters and the real people blending the show, lore, and the real world in a fun and rewarding 30-minute adventure. It's a fun blend of many things real and imaginary.
Ooooh the Valeyard is a biggie. When the Virgin New Adventures books were a thing writers were asked to not write him into a story as it might get a little too complex and create holes. He has however popped up in a number of audios, including one where he himself is put on trial. Ultimately he is the reason why the 6th Doctor regenerates (again in Big Finish) as the Time Lord sacrifices himself to prevent becoming The Valeyard, and even then he doesn't know if it'll work until he hears the voice of the 7th coming through.
Personally I'd love to see ol' Val return......... no idea why.
The Valeyard is (kind of) in one of the Missing Adventures: Millenial Rites by Craig Hinton. Not a spoiler, it is signposted heavily on the cover! But generally yes it was discouraged by the editors at the time. Sigh, I kinda miss those days...
I never thought they would return to The Valeyard storyline on TV until Simeon name-dropped him in _The Name Of The Doctor._ At that point I thought they would do something soon, like when Eleven was supposed to die on Trenzalore but got a new batch of regenerations instead. There were many good points to link the Valeyard into there.
Victory of the daleks had a lot of potential, but because the daleks looked like toys the plot thread was dropped
I loved that episode because it showed the Daleks' intelligent and calculating side. They outfoxed the Doctor. They didn't just show up, blast everything, miss everyone, and then explode like usual. Such a shame the impure Daleks had a Power Rangers binge before spawning their brethren.
The daleks having a cast system is a good idea. Maybe if they were metallic colours ?
I think those Daleks basically became commanding officers or something like that.
Since the metacrisis doctor and Rose both age normally, they are set up for future appearances without having to explain that later.
Captain Jack's missing memories. Two years of his life were wiped from his mind and he has no idea why.
I think the reapers never returned because during the events of ‘fathers day’ it was an extreme example of a paradox because the doctor and rose were seen by the other versions of them and roses father didn’t die, that is two paradoxes in one event so that’s probably why the reapers came, the other paradoxes weren’t as extreme because they are one paradox in one event
No one here right now, absolutely no one:
*WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RANI?! I WANT HER BACK!*
If I ever end up writing for doctor who I will bring back the rani. We have the rest of the timelords appearing so there is no reason to not have her appear.
@@matthewparker9276 Exactly. They say "Oh no one knows her" and I'm like, well, no one knows half of the others so can't we just sneak her in too?
They can't get the rights for her. Under the old system, writers own the characters they create hence why they have to pay a lot of money every time they use the Daleks.
Once was stated that all the time lords have died in the time war. Maybe this include Romana, Susan, The Medler and Rani too
One of the series of the Diary of River Song deals with Kovarian after the events of the season 6 finale
Who in their right mind would want an explanation to Midnight? That would be like scientifically disproving all of the ghost stories by MR James.
Sleep no More is an underrated episode. THANK YOU, Rich!! Nobody can see that and it gets the worst hate.
I respect the episode but I don't like it has good ideas but executed poorly glad you like it tho
It was a very interesting and unique episode and I liked it for that. However since no sequel was made for it and thus was most likely intentional, the ending to it wasn’t right (as in where the doctor said how they’ll fix all this and yet we didn’t see it. the final goodbye message was chilling tho)

The valyard is repeatedly mentioned as one of the doctors titles.

You was right the first time with the Reapers, it was a special set of circumstances. Rose only saves her Dad after already failing to save her Dad and seeing him Die.
"I know what I'm doing, you don't. Two sets of us being there made that a vulnerable point"
What about the old woman who spoke to wilfred in end of time. Who was she?
acording to the writer of the episode (Steven Moffatt i think) left it up to the viewer, however, he did write her with being the Doctors mother. this is showcased mainly by a shot of Donna in the background with her mother in the foreground after wilfred asks the doctor who the lady is.

I feel like the appearance of the Reapers was a rather unique paradox... because a lot of the times the paradoxes that exist don't involve the Tardis inhabitants crossing over their own timeline, doing something that directly affects their own past in a sizable manner. Rose saving her dad though... was exactly that. It was a paradox that was not easily accounted for. A child with a dead parent going back to save their parent but then if that parent was alive, they'd never gone back in time to save that parent, perhaps never time traveled at all impacting events that she was already a part of, creating this massive tangle. The closest I recall we have to this severe of a paradox is the end of time humans invading present day, but for that the Tardis was heavily modified to protect that paradox, likely preventing such intervention.
Vashta Nerada. I would have liked to seen a story line focusing on them on Earth.
They Would Be Unstoppable.
Nah I'm glad they left it, the mystery and the fact that they were undefeatable was amazing and I don't want them going back to it then ruining it
I'd love them to bring the Ogrons back. They just disappeared after the last time they teamed up with the Daleks.
Missed some major examples that are very important to the canon of the series.
1. The Doctor's promise to return visit Susan Foreman! This is arguably the most important plot point that was dropped from the entire series. In its original context The Doctor was promising Susan that he would return for her. This was something I kept wanting to see followed up on once I first learned of it. All during, Tom Baker up to the first cancelation. Once the Show was rebooted... I just 'knew' this would be addressed each season, just to be disappointed, again!
2. What happened to the Black Guardian? Through out the trail I had thought it would be revealed that the Valeyard would be the Black Guardian or, later in the serial, the Valeyard was 'splintered' off of the Doctor by the Black Guardian for revenge.
3. What happened to the 'Rejuvenation' ability.
{At this point my comments kept getting clipped. Think it relates to copy pasting the Actresses names from webpages because it clips right at the name. So I have edited.
Have Jodie attempt a Rejuvenation. It goes wrong. This kills The Doctor triggering the standard Regeneration. Fourteen would then be portrayed by Jenna-Louise Coleman. No I do not want to start a Flame War, but she is one of the top three companions. Sarah Jane, the best, and not sure between Clara and Susan.
Why does the bad guy have to kill The Doctor each time? A refreshing reason to the actor's change.
4. Genny. Spelled this was because it is short for generator. Normally spelled Ginny or Jenny. Think officially it is Ginny, ut I do not know off the top of my head. Knew someone that had this spelling in real life.
Honorable mention.
5. What happened to Adric and Romana?
midnight really showed tennants acting - he was always amazing but that episode was so good
The Midnight Entity should remain a mystery. Never reveal it's origins. Ever. The anonymity of it is what makes it so unnerving and terrifying.
River left kovarian to die in "The diary of River Song" in season three

@@GoddessOfWhim2003 it's an audio series.
Theory: The Metacrisis Doctor eventually becomes the Peter Cushing Doctor of the 60s era films. And those are his and Rose's grandchildren.
One thing which is a sort of dropped plot is the Time War. The one thing about that is the Doctor put Gallifrey into a time lock to protect his home from the Daleks. However, now that Gallifrey is out of the lock, the Daleks either haven't noticed or don't care. COME ON!!!!
There are 2 abandoned plot threads that I'd really like to see revisited.
1. The Minister Of War. Casually teased in Before The Flood and never mentioned again...
2. Harmony Shoal. Last seen infiltrating UNIT in The Return Of Doctor Mysterio, they could easily have reappeared in Series 10, but no. And now Chibnall has done away with UNIT, we'll likely never see that picked up on.
Moffat's era really was a mess.
It's not a mess if you know where everything is.
General Staal underrated reply 😂😂😂😂
Ace was meant to be in the Sarah Jane adventures series 5 episodes called the battle of bannermen road.
yes true but we never got it because of her death 2011 which is shame and we never find out who was the guy with pariot
David Lomax I know I really want to know who he is it’s such a shame she died 🥺. But maybe Russel will release the scripts one day 🤞
The Villain Alliance kind of did re-form in this post-Pandorica version of the universe at the end of the Matt Smith run for the exact same purpose. They were all there circling Christmas on Trenzalore, we just didn't get to see them hanging out together like in Pandorica.
My headcannon is the Reapers appear in paradoxes where a person is too close or touches their past/future self. And that's why the Doctor is a bit reluctant whenever he comes in contact with another Doctor. Because it might summon reapers.
In the wedding episode with Rose we had a double paradox, they went back in time twice to the same period and actually managed to erase themselves as the first visit. That might be a reason too
I think the metacrisis doctor will become the valeyard. Hes between his 12th(Tennant 2nd regen) and final (smith) regeneration. Also it would be great to bring tennant back as a villian

The biggest 'what happened' moment to me in modern Doctor Who was what happened between Name of the Doctor and Day of the Doctor, what the hell happened with that cliffhanger.
The big question is still..
“What is your name, Doctor?”
Reapers Vs Weeping Angels!
With the Doctor just trying to keep people alive while it's happening.
I wanna see what a Gallifreyian graveyard looks like.
*One thousand years later*
Humans: "Good news! The Doctor has forgotten about this and we have developed a bio-weapon to wipe out the reptilians!"
What happened to Jenny the Doctor's Daughter. Davies said she hit a piece of space junk and fell into a sun, which makes me sad. Georgia Moffett doesn't even need to come back, Jenny could have regenerated so a new actress could pick her up. having Jenny meeting 13 and saying "Hello Dad" tickles me pink
Oh, YES. Also, that’s the second time within two weeks I’ve read the phrase “tickles me pink” on RUclips.
Midnight was the scariest episode of Doctor Who for me. Not the monster, although the monster was scary. It's how the people react to it. It was entirely too realistic to how real people would react in the worst possible way.
The Alliance came together to beat the Doctor because his TARDIS was going to blow and destroy the entire universe. EVERYONE was going to become nonexistent, so there was a huge motivation for them to team up and not fight each other. Nothing short of complete destruction would cause them to team up again.
1. The Doctor's Mother (maybe?) in The End of Time. Although the MASSIVE retcon means that she now CAN'T be the Doctor's mother or sister, so... who was she?

I have a theory about the midnight entity.
Basically if you remember house from "The Doctor's Wife" episode, house was a living planet who didn't have a physical form except for said planet. What I am proposing is that the midnight entity is the planet Midnight or at least a certain part of it, similar to house. It would make sense as the planet is one thing that wouldn't be vapourised by the planet's surface, because it is the planet. My explanation to why it picked off this particular shuttle is that maybe it was dormant and just happened to wake up when this shuttle came to pass. Or something to do with the doctor's presence? You have to admit that House and the midnight entity have similarities, they posess or corrupt beings that come into contact with them, they both seem to have a connection to fear (House seemed to enjoy scaring and toying with Amy and Rory and the midnight entity picked on Sky Sylvester, who was the most scared)
Going with the alternate dimension theory, having 13 collide with Rose and the Metacrisis Doctor would be GREAT

"And then he broadcasts it to the universe..."
The Netflix ad afterwards: *shows the popcorn screaming and hiding behind the soda*

I will never watch a follow up Midnight episode!
That episode was perfect art!
I don't want it ruined.
I have always wanted Jenni, the Doctors daughter, to come back.
I agree with most of these. I would love to see a spin off of the adventures of Madame Vastra, Jenny and Strax.
Big finish has audios for the paternoster gang!
When they first went to that alternate dimension that Rose ended up stuck on The Doctor said that when the time lords were around it was easier to go to other dimensions, since we know they are around now I think it would be interesting to have a reason to go back to that dimension and see the meta crisis doctor and rose. Since he is human Tennent being older would make complete sense
I LIKE Clara's ending. Helps that she's my favorite companion. Also, I like that she was frozen between heartbeats and her next when, whenever that will be, will be her last. I think The Doctor literally said something like, "You may have 5 minutes or 15 years, but your next heart beat will be your last." And I think that's a crazy way to "live" but also, we all could be dead 5 minutes from now or may get another 15 years. It's a nice, interesting sci-fi way to put it. She's the same as us and different at the same time. It's pretty cool. And I like that she gets a happy and bittersweet, tragic ending all at the same time. Only in something like Doctor Who is that even possible, imo.
Please for the love of God stop mentioning the reapers. I explain this in the comments every time. The reason why we never see them again, despite paradoxes, is because of what happened. Rose and the Doctor essential interfered with their own history, literally changing it before their past selves' very eyes, causing the past rose and doctor to just disappear. That is something we have not seen again since in the show. We've seen characters change what they know about their future, but never interfered with their previous selves
Rich. Thank you for Who Culture. Great content and fills the void not having new Doctor Who episodes. I LOVE the podcasts. I listen on my long drive home after work. Great job. Thank you 🙌
Good list, but I have six comments:
1. You forgot the major unexplored thread of the Doctor as Merlin, which was brought up in “Battlefield “ with the Seventh Doctor. There should be a huge series of stories with potentially many Doctors.
2. If you look closely at the “Midnite” episode, Sky Silvestri describes a bad lesbian relationship that she is trying to forget and run away. I’ve always thought she was running from the Rani or similar female baddie. If it was the Rani, then the Midnite entity could be one of her creations.
3. Don’t forget the Rani mystery. What happened to her anyway?
4. Whatever happened with the Doctor’s daughter?
5. Whatever happened with Mickey and Martha?
6. Whatever happened to River Song, who seemed to be “alive” in some way within the Library computer? She also seemed to be able to exist outside of the Library computer in some way that the Doctor saw her too. I forget the episode where the Doctor tells her ghost (?) goodbye.
Audios are Canon to the TV show! You know that!
Smh how uncultured. Audios are very much canon
PhaserClash they aren’t officially canon. The show won’t ever refer to the audios before they write a script in case they override or ruin the continuity of the audios they just carry on as normal and write their scripts. If there’s no safeguarding there for how their continuity affects the shows then it shows they’re not really officially canon
*secondary canon. we can’t all afford bf
@@obiwankenobi687 They are canon as long as they don't directly refer to one another, makes safe sense.
Yeah I would say they are Canon it's like with other things she wouldn't say DC Comics aren't coming in the DC Universe just because their Comics that's dumb
I’m loving who culture so far
At least we’ve got an answer regarding Ace
In the NAs and EDAs it mentions that Silurians were living harmoniously with humans by the time of the Earth empire
Did Chibs write Capt. Jack “spot on” or was the poor script interpreted “spot on” by John Barrowman?
Still hope we'll See the Doctor's Daughter return, and The Valeyard.
The abandoned plot thread I want an explanation to most is what happened to the Meddling Monk from the Time Meddler/Daleks Master Plan?
He's still out there, appearing in Big Finish Audio Adventures. Currently played by Rufus Hound
hes a time lord, he could be anywhere!
My personal theory is that the Meta-Crisis Doctor IS The Valeyard. According to the Master, The Valeyard is an, at the time, future incarnation of The Doctor set somewhere between their 12th and final incarnations. If we take that as meaning the thirteen incarnations The Doctor had between being The Timeless Child, and getting new regenerations in Time of The Doctor, that would set him somewhere between David Tennant's half regeneration, and Matt Smith's incarnation. The only one that fits that bill is the Meta-Crisis Doctor. It also makes sense that the Meta-Crisis Doctor would resent his other self for trapping him in an alternate universe with a single life time. It's also even hinted at that the Meta-Crisis is a darker incarnation of The Doctor, being a clone of the Doctor as he was in The Christmas Invasion, where he lost the hand that the clone grew out of.
I always thought Clara and ME in the TARDIS would've been an amazing spinoff. Sad it never came to be
You know something that freaked me out? The episode 'Listen' from the 12th Doctor era. Where he travels to the end of the Universe and he's in that spaceship room and there's something outside banging on the door. I INSTANTLY thought "Is that the Midnight entity..?" We never found out what was knocking... Midnight, for me, is probably the scariest episode I've ever seen of DW... I get goosebumps just thinking about it... “We must not look at goblin men. We must not buy their fruits. Who knows upon what soil they fed heir hungry thirsty roots?”
One dropped idea that comes the mind was the Dalek redesigns from Victory of the Daleks.
Outside a few cameos, we never really got to see them perform their assigned roles on TV before their design was dropped and the show returned to the classic design. The reason for this was mainly due to fans not reacting well to the new designs. While we never got an reason in the show for their disapperance there is techinically a explanation for it in a unlikely place. According to a article from the Radio Times, at the Doctor Who Experience there was a Dalek ship you would enter, in which there was a exchange between the resdsign Daleks and a army bronze/classic Daleks who belong to Davros. The two sides were fighting over who are the true pure Daleks and given the fact we've not seen the redesigns for a long time now, it's clear that Darvos's army won and are the current dominate faction. So once again splintering Dalek factions had led to another civil war, just a shame we didn't get to see it on screen as it would have been great to have a fall scale Dalek civil war with current effects.
On the "thousand years til we have to share Earth with the Silurians" thing...that time hasn't elapsed yet. The deal only took place a few years agp (our time) so, by my reckoning, we have nine-hundred and ninety-some years to wait for that particular plot thread to evolve. In the new canon, that's a few hundred regenerations away yet. By that time, the Doctor could be a hybrid cyberdalek.
Aitch Pea when has doctor who ever cared about canon
Or a badger....
With metacrisis Doctor and Rose, I guess as a future thing they could come back to the show and have aged, since both of them will age in canon. So that would leave an opening for a future appearance, that would explain the fact that they are now older. All they would have to do would be doing some flash back to bad wolf bay and the part where they are handed the part of the Tardis(will the Tardis part grow in to a "Neutral" Tardis, or will it grow in to a police box Tardis?), add the scene, and then write them in again.
