Doctor Who Series 12 Finale: The Timeless Children is objectively awful. Not only is it poorly written, vapid & undoes any goodwill it built up over the season; it may have finally managed to destroy the show enough to make fans walk away. I know it did for me.
Under the tenure of Chibnail Doctor Who has become an overtly political show with poor writing, lackluster shallow empty characters & a Doctor more interested in filling Wikipedia entries than saving the world.
But what Chibnail manages to do with this episode is something special. No longer is it only conservative fans or long-time Whovians that are complaining about what the program's become. Now members of the Gallifrey SubReddit are saying the show should be canceled & fans that were willing to sit through anything are saying: I'm out!
The BBC has lost all control and focus to recognize what has happened to this franchise. That they continue to pretend that the show is in a good place because it has the right politics tells me that this episode might have done what Jonathan Nathan Turner did when he introduced the 6th doctor and that infamous scene.
And just like what Baker did in that scene to his companion, Chibnail has done to the show.
I'm done with Doctor Who!
