The Thirteenth Doctor #7

'That's All Right, Mama' (2019) from Star Tales.

Really interesting and nicely done concept here. The idea of Elvis calling his mother throughout his life, and she's recieving all of the phone calls on the day of her death, is really touching and feels very truly Doctor Who. I could easily imagine this story taking place in the televised show. The way that The Doctor explains Elvis' morality here doesn't sit quite right with me, as she approaches the situation mostly purely from the angle of solving the time-space issue. Which is still a very Doctor-like thing to do, and definitely something that Twelve would have done. But considering that her character is meant to be a continuation of the kindness and giving nature of Twelve towards the end of his life, this only feeds into my issue with her writing in the show which kind of makes her a harsh and unapproachable character. Her letting Elvis go on one last trip to actually see his dying mother was nice though, but you don't really get any time to see her and Elvis interact regarding that.
