This post contains spoilers For "Doctor Who" Seasonal Final ", War of Reality".

If the show lasts long enough, it will inevitably reach the point where it only starts to become strange. Such is the case with the last few seasons of "Doctor who" who have been sold as seasons 1 and 2 of a new show, but they have basically functioned as Seasons 14 and 15 of 2005 "Doctor Who" revive. The feeling of fatigue is difficult to fight, especially since the "Doctor who" is a continuation of the 26 seasons show.

You can see the fight against the fatigue of the audience most clearly with the recent handling of the show regenerations. Because the Russell T Davis show returned to the show, we saw the doctor Regenerate to a previous doctor For the first time. Then we saw him Bi-generation for the first timeA concept that has never been mentioned once in the first sixty years of the show. In this last final, "War of Reality", we see the first appropriate regeneration of surprise for decades. The doctor of Nkuti Gatva regenerated after the ordinary two -season rock, and this time he regenerates ... the previous companion Rose Tyler?

Well, more precisely he regenerates Billy Pepper, who will obviously now play the doctor the next time the show returns. How much will the Billy Pepper doctor remind? And why did the doctor regenerate the face of the former companion for the first time? The obvious answer is that it's all rating, but maybe RTD has something more significant in the store.

In any case, this end is unprecedented. Thanks to the internet, it is impossible for most of the modern "who" to lead a secret to impending regeneration, so the production team has always relied on this and has made a big event that surpasses the new doctor before leaving the current doctor. The fact that the play retained this doctor/rose discovered under the sheath is either a testimony to how competent production is now dealing with the secrets, or it is a sign of how faded the cultural impact of the show. If today's "doctor who" was so popular and engaged As it was in 2009I don't think the show could be drawn with hiding this great development.

The obvious question that leaves the finale is whether this discovery is even real. David Tennant's finals of the finals of Season 13 as the next doctor, for example, has not led to several seasons of Tenant to re -investigate time and space. Instead, it led to Three episodes of eventsthat ended with the arrival of real Next doctor, Nkuti Gatva. Well, will Billy Pepper play the doctor for special or two, or will it be around long -term?

Honestly, in any case it is quite intriguing. If nothing else, this is certainly one method of taking another doctor without angering right -wing trolls too. They may have to pause their complaints so that the play is too awakened so they can first try to think of pure logistics of Billy Pepper's return.

More seriously, pepper as a doctor means that we will see what a female doctor looks like with someone other than Chris Chibel who is leading the play. I was always bitter that the first woman doctor was stuck The worst show of the Renaissance seriesSo it will be nice to see a female doctor in combination with the show -show, which is slightly competent. RTD has many disadvantages like a show -show, but it is great at establishing a fun doctor/companion. I want to see what "Doctor Who" looks like when a female doctor coincides with a male companion in Tardis, a dynamic that Chibal/Whitaker never gave us.

One thing that tore me on Billy Pepper is that the events that lead to him were total chaos. Most of the "war of reality" is excessively closed, with so much senseless spectacle that it all blurs together. There is a point when the doctor's flight in a giant dinosaur "spirit of skeletons" stumbles through London, and instead of exciting me, it just made me sigh and wonder what I do with my life. Although fans at this point have clarified that they think Russell T Davis is Better to give us a smaller scale storiesRTD never seems to hint. He must always do things as wide as possible, though it is not clear that he is not his.

Lost in the senseless chaos of this final was companion Belinda (Vera Setu). Belinda was great in the first few episodes because She established strong boundaries with the doctorPromising a companion who will put the doctor on the task of his constant lying and general weakness. But in the final in two it was easy to forget that Belinda even this season is a companion, because Ruby got all the interesting material. The entire story of Belinda's final was based on her new daughter Popi, and the doctor eventually regenerated to save poppy.

I don't want to see Gatva's doctor leaving at this point because, well, he feels like he gets here. But if he leaves, it should not be due to saving a character who was never mentioned until last week. The "war in reality" bid farewell to the fifteenth doctor and Belinda, but it does so in a way that feels messy and premature. Belinda deserved more than just eight episodes to make her mark on the series, and Gatva deserved more than two seasons of eight episodes.

But hey, maybe this is not the end for them. As social media fans have already pointed out, the final loans do not specify that Billy Pepper is playing the doctor. (While this is the natural conclusion that would take from those last moments.) It is possible that this is all that is a big fake, and next year Gatva and Belinda will return to our TV screens once again. That idea may seem strange and far -reaching, but it has never stopped the modern "doctor who" before.
