Uggggh... I only watched the 13th doctor episodes a couple of years ago to catch up to David Tennant's return and I totally forgot about all that... I don't mind weird 'missing' incarnations like the war doctor and even the one at the lighthouse had she either fit in or was ambiguous as to what 'number' they are but yeah, the timeless child stuff was awful and weird and just made the doctor feel so hollow... Instead of being this flawed character trying to do good they suddenly are important in the universe because of their nature and not their deeds... It cheapens the doctor so much... Can we not just pretend that 13 never happened? I'm still yet to watch the 15th doctor series because of how awful the Chibnell era was...
I very much enjoyed the 5 hour video by Jay Exci on it because it really showed how poor it really was. I was never that keen on some of the Moffat era when he got too Moffat-y for his own good but I would have had that in a heartbeat.
It's such a shame because I really like Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor, but yeah her whole era was so badly written. She's doing Big Finish now though so hopefully she'll get some good stuff to work with there.
The 15th Doctor era is.. odd. No spoilers but RTD is back as lead writer but he makes some.... decisions lol. Including putting one of the worst episodes the show has ever had right at the start of 15's run. You'll probably know it when it happens! But then inbetween the oddness there are some genuinely really good single episodes too IMO.
