12 Abandoned Doctor Who Subplots

Have you sufficiently recovered from The Timeless Children revelations? Are you sitting comfortably? Good. Then we'll begin.

Wow, where to begin? There was - and still is - a hell of a lot for us Whovians to process following the series 12 finale. We all felt like the Doctor in the Matrix: mind blown.

One lore changing aspect was the discovery of the Doctor's limitless regeneration ability - 12 changes is for those "mere mortal" Time Lords it turns out.

Questions abounded. How many lives has the Doctor had before William Hartnell's First Doctor incarnation? What's the point in the Time Lords granting the Doctor a new regeneration cycle, if they're not bound by the 12 change limit? Why have you, Chibnall, pissed off the obsessive compulsives amongst us, considering the meltdown we had in reconciling the War Doctor within the Doctor numbering sequence?!

Given the Division's shadiness raison d'etre, they probably used the Chameleon Arch to tweak the Doctor's biology to the bog-standard 12 regenerations package. Conversely, many were overjoyed the moment the "Morbius Doctors" flashed across our screens. Either way, the biggest change has, undoubtably, been to Doctor Who's Wikipedia pages.
