The 13th Doctor, Doctor Who

This could easily be both a farewell to Chris Chibnall’s era of Doctor Who as it is a farewell to the 13th Doctor, but really, if “The Power of the Doctor” was both those things, only one of them is sad. Jodie Whittaker’s time as the Doctor went out in an overstuffed mess of a damp squib, and perhaps nothing sums up what an atrocious mess that it was that in an episode where the Doctor was already forcefully regenerated and degenerated, the thing that actually kills her in the end is a stray laser blast from an alien in one of the episode’s 78 sub plots pushed in her direction by the Master. All it does is… knock her over?
