Sutekh through the time vortex in Doctor Who season 14 episode 8
Summary Doctor Who season 14 featured one of the more divisive season finales in the show's run, but it also reminded me of the finale that immediately preceded it. Doctor Who is the longest running sci-fi show on TV, with the show's first episodes airing way back in 1963. Now, more than 60 years later, the show has undergone a few regenerations of its own, and it appears almost unrecognizable from the original, aside from some key characters, the mode of transport, and the core concept.
Sutekh's Death Wave In Doctor Who Season 14 Felt A Lot Like The Flux Sutekh And Swarm Have Similar Weapons Close In both Doctor Who season 13, subtitled Flux, and season 14, the big bad threatens the safety of all time and space with a wave of catastrophic energy. In both, this wave goes off, and it kills or erases countless living beings from existence across time and space.
Doctor Who is a show that plays the long game. With 60 years of history, and RTD proving that he is willing to dive into the archives for material, there is plenty that can and should be developed. But to do it right, the most exciting and crucial events need to happen on screen. A death wave is not what makes Doctor Who exciting or meaningful. And I'd argue that the Doctor beating bad guys isn't either.
Both of these endings may be grand in scale, but the storytelling and imagination behind them feel like the bare minimum.
