8 Insane Doctor Who Flux Theories That Will Blow Your Mind

8. The TARDIS Is Dying

There was a rumour last year that the TARDIS might lose its police box outer shell in this season, even if only for a while. The first episode of Flux, and the subsequent episodes since, have shown that something is very wrong with the Doctor’s ship, which could add fuel to this rumour.

The TARDIS is leaking gooey black stuff which resembles oil or blood. It’s growing jagged crystals erratically and the door never appears where it should. Something is definitely going wrong and the most logical solution is that the TARDIS is dying.

If the TARDIS does die, there could be some truth in the rumours of it changing appearance for a while. Especially if the Doctor needs to somehow fix it or get a new one. We doubt it would ever be anything as drastic as getting a brand new TARDIS, but anything could happen while it’s dying. The main question is why. Is it down to the Flux or something more sinister?
