Our Take On Physician Who’s Future

Physician Who Season 16 Will Want A Good Rationalization For The Billie Piper Regeneration

Though RTD may wish to take a break from exploring future storylines, there’s no likelihood followers will observe go well with, particularly after the stunning regeneration on the finish of Physician Who season 15.

Ncuti Gatwa Launched A Darkish New Aspect To Physician Who & I Hope The Subsequent Physician Does not Ignore It

Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Physician introduces a darkness beneath the “rehabilitated” character, and I am hopeful the Sixteenth Physician continues this.

Nevertheless, I’m additionally mildly skeptical in regards to the course they’ll go together with the story. I totally consider that the Physician Who regeneration was a gimmick meant to attract in viewers. In any case, Disney+ will virtually actually resolve whether or not to proceed its take care of Physician Who based mostly on numbers alone, quite than contemplating the passionate fanbase. Hopefully, RTD has, no less than, thought far sufficient forward to have a stable rationalization for the Physician taking up Billie Piper’s face.
