Time War

Synopsis

The Intergalactic Fringe Festival spans a whole planet. Its programme offers millions of shows, so the Doctor and Bill can choose anything from anti-grav acrobats to the quantum cabaret.

But the Doctor is alarmed when he attends a play about the Time War. It's not just that it tells his personal history - its performance could unravel the universe.

This story would have been worth it for the incredible jokes throughout, but the incredible story underneath really elevates it.

First canon time that the Ninth Doctor is described as a lesbian, but hopefully not the last!

I appreciated the character dynamics here. I loved how central Bill was with her own investigation while the Doctor was away. I definitely got a kick out of the line where she says the Ninth Doctor looks like a lesbian. My only nitpick is that the ending felt a little rushed

I think that War Stories has quite an interesting and unique idea that's fun to explore. However, I found much of the narration quite forced and unnatural, possibly bordering on cringey. The impression of the Twelfth Doctor was really good, though.

I'm too Faction Paradox brainrotted for this.

Bill thinking Nine looks like a lesbian she had a crush on sent me into hysterics.

The prophecies of old foretold a war across the stars.

The cosmos torn asunder. Every planet left with scars.

From Skaro to Kasterborous, and Villengard as well —

Some know it as the Time War, but the Time Lords call it Hell.

The seven deaths of Davros, and the slaughter of Skull Moon.

The Neverwhen, the Never-weres, the Never-Gone-Too-Soon.

The war raged on for eons, and it’s only just begun,

Fragmenting space and causing time itself to be undone.

Until a man is born upon the barren sands of Karn,

Until that man confronts himself twice over, in a barn.

Until the Daleks breach the second city, and it falls.

Until that man engraves the words “No More” into the walls.

I am that man, and I will take this Moment to avow:

If once there was a Doctor, there is not a Doctor now.
