Timey-Wimey Chaos but Exactly What The Doctor Ordered!
5 December 2021
I will be the first to admit that I did not enjoy Jodie Whittaker's first season of Doctor Who - through poor writing to stale acting, it was a tough watch. S12 provided some more hope, with standout episodes such as Spyfall being overshadowed by the painstakingly rushed "The Timeless Child".

S13, or Flux, has been an absolute return to form for Doctor Who, giving me the same joy and excitement I had when I was 6 years old, watching David Tennant run frantically across the universe with Martha Jones and Donna Noble. The threads that have been sewn over the past 2 seasons came into fruition and the performances from Whittaker, Gill, Bishop, Anderson and McNall all brought something new and exciting to the show.

Finally, I feel we know WHO Jodie's Doctor is and that excites me, setting up a heartbreaking exit in the coming year! I was worried the episode would rush it's story, and fail to stick any landing of any plot that it created - it did not. What we received was a comprehensive, complete story from start to finish.

Mr Chibnall, over a year ago, through the finale of S12, I was angered at your contribution to the story of Doctor Who. I apologise. You have smashed this season out of the park, to the point, I am happy with the Timeless Child arc! (I KNOW!!). I'm looking forward to the New Year's special and Jodie's final few episodes in charge of the Tardis!
