Big Finish Just Altered Doctor Who's Biggest Moment!
6. Doctor Variants
Similar to the variants of the MCU, this altering of the time creates many aberrant timelines, and therefore many Doctors.
Time has basically splintered as a result of the chaos caused by altering time in such a monumental way. The tampering of time has left many possible futures exposed, such as if the Doctor's life remained on track.
The first story, Dust Devil, also features the more familiar Sixth Doctor, still travelling with Peri, but they come across this breaking time. Whilst on one of their usual adventures, the world around them starts to break up and the Doctor can see his own death.
To deal with these "aberrations", the Warrior sends two 'temporal bullets' to deal with his doppelgänger. This is a very clear declaration of intent. The Warrior wants to wipe out any potential threats to his power, and goes to the extent of hunting down his own variants.
In order to try and avert this threat on his life, the Doctor must seek out his own death, to confuse the 'temporal bullets', but in the end this is a failed attempt and he dies anyway.
But all this thus far has only been the first adventure of the set, what about the rest?
