Doctor Who Series 11: 10 Huge Questions After It Takes You Away
1. What Seeds Have Been Sown For The Finale?
There was the briefest of trailers for next week’s finale, with the most interesting talking point being the identity of the modulated voice at the end. Was it a Stenza, a voice from the past, or something entirely new? The fact that Chris Chibnall is not allowing previews to be sent out might suggest that something big and spoilerific is on the way.
Usually, by this point in a series, we have a fairly good idea of what is going to be featured in the finale, but it’s much harder to second guess this time around. Will it be a finale in the traditional sense? There are not that many threads that need pulling together, with the biggest one – Ryan and Graham’s uncertain relationship, being resolved this week.
The major themes of the series have been family, death and loss, so we should probably expect similar topics to come into focus. We might finally get an explanation of the Timeless Child, or find out way the TARDIS abandoned the Doctor when she regenerated. The title is deliberately specific and unexceptional (The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos), but is it to temper our expectations and defy the logic of the series finale, or is it a cover for a major twist and secret? The synopsis ends with the question - who are the Ux? Will their identity be the big reveal and have they been behind other events in this series?
