Here is how you retcon Doctor Who; The last two doctors? the timeless child? That was the Master all along. None of it was the Doctor. PM me for my residuals. (media.scored.co)

In order to retcon it all they'd have to admit they were wrong. That's not going to happen.

Correct, the left are wholly incapable of introspection and truth. They will cling to the delusions to their very graves, the way they still do anytime anyone brings up COVID.

Doctor Who is over, so is Star Wars, Trek, etc etc etc. Ruined forever.

The correct answer is to create all new IP’s and then gatekeep the absolute fuck out of them going forward. But it would require people willing to turn down easy money and not sell their souls to globohomo. It would also require parallel industries that certain people of certain persuasions have no control over

Even better would be to stop wasting time watching movies and tv, and use that time doing something more productive, like lifting weights or going to the shooting range.

Sigh. Something tells me I'm not getting paid.

Here's what you do.

Have the She Doctor going about and then suddenly a new machine appears next to them, and shoots the faggot dalek. "Sorry Doctor, I'm an American, we built our own time machines and are fixing all of your fucking mistakes. Like how you screwed up your own demographics. I've already had to save 250,000 british girls from being raped by islamic monsters, figured I'd pop over and solve your dalek problem too."

And then leave and just throughout the season British She Doctor is going around only for the American hero to come in and solve the problem with guns and not being a pussy.

Show the She Doctor standing in front of a muslim decapitating a british woman before the American time travel shoots the muzzie in the head. "It's really not that hard, you just get rid of the people who want you dead and you can save countless lives."

It's dead, Jim.

No, really. You cannot fix 10 years of bad writing and expect the fanbase to accept it. If you liked Doctor Who, I'm sorry, but there's other fiction out there.

Yep. At this point, the best option would be to retcon the special that gave him bonus regenerations so it doesn't work. Then simply officially end the story at his 12th death.

Have when Rose consumed the Time Vortex by looking into it and 'The Moment' be a pivot in the story. A "That's what could have happened" rug pull to the entire thing.

Rewrite the entire story with Paul McGann regenerating into a new Doctor with all those memories of the "What if" still present in their head, keep both universes alive through him but establish a retcon without anything from the 2005-onwards storyline having happened in it. Seal it off as a potential that both happened and didn't. It could even account for his amnesia in the 1996 movie, some retroactive anti-time associated with his entire regeneration (Half-mother and everything).

Pick at it vaguely as some sort of Master/The Matrix trickery in future stories. Nothing to dismiss it completely but enough to let everyone know that the Bad Wolf timeline did and did not happen.

That way fan favourites like the Angels and River can still be part of the lore, but Pigs in Manhattan, The Star Beast and The Next Doctor can be oddities that never truly happened.

Both a big FU to Bad Wolf productions and a nod to the quirkiness of the show's timeline handling generally.

Done properly this could still hold the splendour that the 50th anniversary obtained and leave room for ideas like mistakes having happened and getting over them; a lesson well learned for the next generation to witness.

This allows for Cushing's Doctor to both be canon and not too :p

When Rose looked into the time vortex, that was the first instance of the moment manifesting consciousness.

Sure it's a retcon, but this stuff writes itself.

  • Wibly wobbly, timey wimey.
  • Love it or hate it, it's their Dragon Break.

It keeps that whole stop at Capaldi (Who was brilliant!) thing from happening, just stop at McGann and go in a completely different direction. There can still be echoes (Or ghosts) of that reality but it's not the one the Doctor is on anymore.

Allows for all the silliness to be gone but the good stuff to be sort of kept.

Heck, if I put my mind to it I could even have it go in the other direction as well, have this 'new' Doctor Who sometimes bump into the lore established under the Bad Wolf lot.

Just have it all bounce along nicely, keep those watching its attention and it will just be another part of the overall story of what's good, and bad, about the Doctor Who situation(s) over the years.

There are ways built within each sci-fi franchise they've ruined to retcon all the shit that happened since they took over and set it back to when it was good. The thing is that they won't. If they were capable of recognizing that it's their own heap of shit that needs to be shoveled away for the franchise to be worth it again, they wouldn't have filled it with shit to begin with. They're not going to fix Dr. Who. They're not going to fix Star Trek. They're not going to fix Star Wars. They're not going to fix anything.

  • Though neither video is relevant to the topic.
  • The images are just graphics to accompany the topic.
  • The thumbnails came with easily searchable titles.

No, but clearly you are engaging in rage baiting. I've posted more topics in 2 hours, just 3, then you have in 2 years.

  • Stop being lazy.
  • Stop accusing others of being lazy.
  • Stop attacking members of the community.
  • Read the content you are engaging with.

Oh noes, I'm not spamming the board with worthless threads when I don't have something worthwhile to share with the class. What an absolute moral failing on my part.

My brother in Chist they torched Star Wars for no reason. It'll be a decade before they retcon Dr. Who
