Alexayliaprime - Who Cares

Finally, someone put it in words. This is how I've felt about The Timeless Child story the whole time, I could just never put it into words that make sense.

In continuation of my previous post, the reason why I don't like the lore around the Timeless Child is basically the same reason I don't like Rey being Palpatine's granddaughter.

Rey could've been a completely self-made woman, a no-one from nowhere who still mattered and grew strong anyway. By making her Palpatine's granddaughter they took that from her. She was strong because she came from a strong bloodline, she was a key player in the story because her family has always been important to the bigger picture. Her strength wasn't earned through years of struggle and growth, she was born special.

I always liked the idea that the Doctor was just this random person who ran away from home and they became special over time. They've become the stuff of legends, a war hero to Gallifrey, a myth to many other civilisations, they were granted more regenerations than any other timelord, they already have such a long, complex and impressive story.

But that wasn't enough, was it? The Doctor had to have been born special. They're not just some "mad-man with a box", no. They're the specialest creature in the universe, not because they lived and learned and grew, but because they were born special, they were always special either way.

In my personal opinion this takes away from the Doctor's character. It completely changes who the Doctor is at their core. Other fans may feel differently about this, but I immediately thought about Rey.

Honestly, with the way this year has been going... Not risking it.
