So, you know how we all thought that that energy thing was definitely the Timeless Child for a sec?
What if it was?
Not in the way that it IS the Timeless Child, but what if what we were seeing it as, was what The Doctor was seeing it as, is The Timeless Child?
Supposedly, the energy had a shield on it that makes you see something you are hardwired to want to protect. What if The Doctor was seeing themself there, because they are subconsciously struggling with both their own grief at their past, and their constant battle to protect themself from the grief of the present? Isn’t the one thing The Doctor does best protecting themself, from aliens or heartbreak?
Idk. I’m just being sappy. Chibnall’s a shit writer, but I can find angst potential in anything, and I will make it into my own poetry.
