The
Timeless Children review TLDR Summary
Did anything change? Were questions from the previous episodes
answered? Was what the Master told the Doctor of the Timeless Child
and Tecteun only his opinion on the events? (Tecteun doesn't
investigate the rift the Child came through?) The Master telling
Ashad that turning oneself into a robot isn't special is a good
scene. Yas and the others escaping from the ship by pretending to be
Cybermen is done well, even if it's inspired by previous incidents of
companions pretending to be enemies.
The scenes at Ko Sharmus' base were also done well. Yas stepping
through to Gallifrey is consistent with how her character has been
going so far. The revelation of the Doctor being the Timeless Child
doesn't really change anything. The scene were she escapes the Matrix
was a highlight of the episode. Her escape from the Master and
CyberLords was also done well. More below. 8/10.
Series
12 Finale overall review TLDR Summary
A thematic link between the Master and Ashad. Self-Loathing. But with
similarities there are also differences. Ashad's plans are different
to the Master's. But the main plot is the Doctor being the Timeless
Child. The parallel between the Brendan story and that of the Child
is obvious. The Doctor's driven by her decision to give the Cyberium
to Ashad, but Ko Sharmus feels more responsible for not sending it
back far enough. More on Yas, she wants to continue to travel with
the Doctor.
Whereas there have been hints the other two may want to stop. They
all play roles encouraging the survivors. The latter group's joy at
being on Earth was well done. (Future storytelling potential?)
Overall a very good way to end this series. More in the overall
series review (which will also have one of these summaries). 8.25/10.
