"The Five Doctors" back in 1983 established that the regeneration
limit was something the Time Lords could extend, since they made such
an offer to The Master.

I would point out that The Doctor has always been "woke".-a If you want
No he hasn't. He fled his home planet along with his granddaughter in
order to get away from wokery and totalitarian thought control.
not-woke, or even anti-woke, that's in the show too, represented by
Davros, and his misbegotten children.
Wrong again. Davros represents Nazi Fascism which is a Marxist ideology
just like wokery. Read George Orwell's 1984 where the Nazis are
represented by Ingsoc and wokery is newspeak and goodthink, cancel
culture is the 2 minutes hate, and Feminism and the #MeToo movement is
the anti-sex league.
As for the Timeless Child:-a It was invented for the same reason that
regeneration was in the first place, as a technobabble excuse for the
show to continue after reaching the (artificially imposed) limit on the
number of regenerations, and the actor becoming unable to continue to
play the part, respectively.
The Doctor was already given a new set of 12 regenerations. He had at
least another 30 years before he would have needed a new one. Making the >Doctor immortal destroys any tension and suspense that he might die.
The only reason for the creation of the Timeless Child monster was for
the child grooming woke perverts to try and justify turning the Doctor
into a woman, a homosexual, and a black man when the Doctor had been >straight, white, and male for over 50 years.

just so you can complain about it week after week... turn it off!

That was a rather silly 1989 "comedy" movie starring John Travolta and >Kirstie Alley, and a baby voiced by Bruce Willis. ;-)
It was followed by two sequel movies, with each one getting sillier.
There was rumours of a fourth movie, but Kirstie Alley died in 2022, so >there is now a reboot version in the planning instead.

I think you'll find I'm one of the [generally] positive ones
about the show! I think Ncuti Gatwa is a good Doctor and I
certainly don't want to see the show cancelled.
Maybe do a bit of research first eh?

I don't complain about the show every week you clown, as you
well know. That's you and your best mate because you can't
handle a gay black man as the 15th Doctor... and before that you
couldn't handle a Doctor that had a pair of tits.

I think they should retcon and remove all of "NuWho". People who want to watch it can watch their reruns and dvd's, but in terms of the show's continuity in the future, it no longer exists.

Yes Dave, it is.
Nobody has to like absolutely everything about a television
show... and in a show that spans 60+ years it's highly unlikely
anyone will. Not liking something is perfectly fine...
pretending it's not part of the show is delusional.

The thing is Tim, some people can't understand that others like

Sure, the ratings might not be as good as we'd like, but Doctor
