10Doctor Who Season 15 Doesn’t Need Another Big Canon Retcon
Too Many Changes In Recent Years
For whatever reason , the most recent time of year ofDoctor Who , both under the stewardship of RTD and Christopher Chibnall , who harbour the role immediately before him , the showrunners have opted to make major change toDoctor Who’shistory and traditional knowledge . From theintroduction of the Timeless Child , which completely alters everything about the Doctor , to bi - generation , a heretofore unlooked-for occurrence in the Whoniverse and now Sutekh , the show simply does n’t need drama that changes the doc ’s past .
The strength ofDoctor Who’sstories does n’t come up from how big the secret is , or how damaging it could be for the Doctor , but the incredible characters that appear , and the Doctor manage to carry through the twenty-four hours just in fourth dimension .

25% Of The Latest Season Didn’t Have The Doctor As The Main Character
While some of the bestDoctor Whoepisodes in the show ’s history have been able-bodied to excel without the Doctor having a prominent function , the show is still rivet on the Man in the Box . " Blink " was a chef-d’oeuvre by author Steven Moffat that introduce arguably the best new villain in modernDoctor Who . However , these doc - lite episode should remain considerably less uncouth than the episode that put the Doctor front and center .
However , Doctor Whoseason 14 had a total of eight episodes , and two of them feature the Doctor as a small supporting role rather than the star of the show . That means25 % of the previous season did n’t even make the title fiber a prominent part of the floor . This was n’t necessarily bad , and " 73 Yards " and " Dot and Bubble " ended up as some of the strongest episodes of the season , but season 15 needs to have the star as a bigger part of the action .

With so many questions still mess about after time of year 14 , season 15 should focus on answers over questions .
It ’s OK to set up exciting and compelling narratives , but leaving sluttish threads dangling in the air with no further account is but cruel .
It ’s OK to set up exciting and compelling narratives , butleaving loose thread dangling in the air with no further explanation is simply cruel . The mystery of Mrs. Flood , where Susan Forman could be , what alternate timeline Ruby enounce to everyone to make them melt down scared and who Ruby ’s father is are just a few of these question which all remain unanswered . Before piling on more overarching mysteries , the show needs to resolve at least some of them .

7Doctor Who Needs A Companion Balance With Millie Gibson & Varada Sethu
Ncuti Gatwa Will Have Two Companions Next Season

Similar to the former point on mystery story and answers , neither companion can have too much of the stress . Meanwhile , the show also ca n’t give too little screentime to an incoming companion . shine this balance will be pivotal for the success of the show . Despite the Doctor ’s chronicle with multiple companions , the modern geological era has largely seen them go with one principal familiar .
Despite Doctor Who ’s long run on television , only one repeat serial villain has killed the Doctor and caused his regeneration double .
6Doctor Who Season 15 Shouldn’t Play To Audience Expectations
The End Of The Recent Season Frustrated Many Fans
WhileDoctor Whoseason 14 did engender a huge amount of discourse about the series online , it also did a large problem of subverting expectations . While some moments and characters were contemplate to seem , the show move in new way that efficaciously surprised and delighted many fans of the show . Carrying forward this specialty would be a positive .
However , it should do so in moderateness , and in way that make sense . A show as gamey caliber asDoctor Who , with admission to all of time and space , has every chance to subvert interview expectations , and do so in a clever way . For much of the history of the show , this has been managed to great success , so it should avoid playing into interview expectations whenever potential .
5Doctor Who Season 15 Also Shouldn’t Mislead The Audience
The Entire Season Established That Ruby Was Cosmically Important
On the other side of that same coin , the show should strive to obviate mislead the interview in altogether outlandish agency . For example , time of year 14 played heavily into howspecial Ruby Sunday was . From the first episode , " The Church on Ruby Road , " to the penultimate instalment , " The Legend of Ruby Sunday , " Ruby ’s significance in the universe was played up to a Brobdingnagian extent . However , the finis break that Ruby was just a unconstipated girl , with a regular mum , and nothing too foreign about her .
Except , the entire time of year set up she was strange and cosmically orphic . Ruby made it play false inside spaceships and on state of war - tear alien planet . She made Christmas music play out which shoot down the God of Music , Maestro , and the installment titles themselves campaign her importance . While the reveal that anyone could be exceptional and authoritative is a beautiful message , the approach was a major misfire that made the time of year confusing and fairly disappointing .
Sutekh ’s revelation that there are more Pantheon god sparkle questions about which Doctor Who villains could be retconned to be among them .
4Doctor Who Season 15 Should Bring Back More Classic Villains
Daleks And Cybermen Are Just One Example
One thing that really was a Brobdingnagian plus for season 14 was just how much it centre on definitive villains and stories . For a show with a account that protract over 60 years , there ’s a wealth of stuff to go at , so it ’s gravid to see previous stories return . Characters like Sutekh and old companions add to the growing report and universe .
It would also be dainty to see some of the lover favourite Graeco-Roman character make a return inDoctor Whoseason 15 , such as theDaleks and Cybermen . These classic characters help oneself to connect the report across generation , and make it palpate like one large and ever - expanding story , rather than a reboot or revival . Giving more care to the classical parts of the show is a major strengthand one that should happen even more going forward .
3Doctor Who Season 15 Needs To Be Consistent, Avoiding Even More Big Changes
The Series Doesn’t Need Any Major Alterations
Also to aid in wee-wee the show experience consistent and conversant for previous buff , and contemporaneous and exciting for fresh Whovians , it demand to stick to a vogue and method acting of storytelling . The show is almost unrecognizable today from the early episode , but thanks to some key details that have remain from the first installment to now , it always manages to feel like the same show . However , when too many with child changes happen all at once , like a new companion , a new Dr. , a new expressive style of cinematography , and exclusively new villains , it can set about to feel very unlike .
Doctor Whoseason 14 set the pace and tone for the show ’s next epoch , and managed to connect with some of the oldest element of the serial . Hinting at a riposte for Susan , having the Doctor discourse his history and family , and bring back erstwhile rivals . Now , season 15 only require to carry that impulse forward and void any major revision that could break up the period .
" The Church on Ruby Road " made a apt determination that the next episode of Doctor Who would do well to simulate , but the modification should n’t be permanent .
2Doctor Who Season 15 Shouldn’t Be So Quick To Dismiss The Villains
It Seemed Too Easy To Defeat Maestro And Sutekh
WhileDoctor Whoseason 14 did many things right , there were some things that could have really been improved . For representative , how easily some of the giving threats and rivals to the entire population were finally dismissed . In big part , this is a computer address tohow Sutekh was defeated , but there were other moment that feel like the baddie were too easily overpowered , despite a build up in the episode , such as Maestro .
Doctor Whoseason 15 should be more heedful when build up , and finally shoot down down the scoundrel that it professes to be so incredibly powerful . The Doctor is a genius , yes , and companions like Ruby are unfearing and powerful , but when the suppose God of Death is put on a triad and dragged through the fourth dimension whirl , for the second time , it feel underwhelming . Season 15 should be more careful with how it disposes of the villains .
