Doctors
Sutekh ’s return inDoctor Whoseason 14 after not appearing in the show for almost half a century came as a huge surprise , but the long - running British sci - fi quietly included several soupcon to foreshadow the classic villain ’s resurgence . Sutekh was revealed to be The One Who WaitsinDoctor Whoseason 14 ’s penultimate episode , " The Legend of Ruby Sunday . " The resister ’s debut inDoctor Who ’s Disney erawas his first installment since the 1975 chronicle , " Pyramids of Mars , " starring Tom Baker ’s Fourth Doctor . The sign of Sutekh ’s replication were insidious , but they were certainly there .
WithDoctor Whoseason 14 serving as a stealth sequel to " Pyramids of Egypt of Mars"all along , the clues to the true identity operator of the first big bad of Ncuti Gatwa ’s era are much easier to spot in retrospect . The Pantheon loss leader ’s malevolent plan to wipe out all life in the creation was retroactively established as the biggest looming threat of the post - Baker era , and the fact thatSutekh was able-bodied to remain concealedfor so long only compound his fearsome mightiness .
8Doctor Who Season 14’s Multi-Colored Marketing
Gatwa’s first season’s promotional material shared a color scheme with some original Sutekh shots
Like almost every other clip a unexampled actor is honk in the show ’s lead function , Doctor Whounderwent an esthetic overhaul when Nucti Gatwa ’s Fifteenth Doctor put down the affray . The bright marketing forDoctor Whoseason 14 forebode a vibrant and visually pleasing running of episodes , but it actually tease Sutekh ’s counter at the same time . The eye - catching colour dodge may seem innocuous , butit ’s a startling catch for an iconic slam from Sutekh ’s original story .
One of theharsh reality ofDoctor Who ’s classic erais the fact that many of the special burden have n’t stood the ease of time . By today ’s standards , Sutekh ’s method acting of traveling to Earth in " Pyramids of Mars " consist of brilliant color does n’t specially align with the insidious atmosphere the chronicle is trying to demonstrate . So , whenthe same palette was used to advertiseDoctor Whoseason 14 , it concealed the coming back of the known villain even more .
7The Beatles' Song In “The Devil’s Chord”
The Fab Four sing about a dog not being dead
AlthoughJinkx Monsoon ’s Maestrowas the villain ofDoctor Whoseason 14 ’s Beatles episode , the lyric to one of the Fab Four ’s intentionally underwhelming compositions quietly acknowledge the coming comer of Sutekh . With Maestro ’s plot to free the world of euphony , the remaining songwriters set forth penning lyrics with almost no heart , andThe Beatles ' song about a dog uncover more than it primitively seemed .
The song in question included lyrics such as , " My dog is live , he ’s not dead . "
The song in inquiry include lyrics such as , " My wiener is active , he ’s not dead . " Sutekh may not be an actual dog , but the resemblance between a domestic doggie and the most powerful being inDoctor Who ’s Pantheon of Godsisn’t mundane . Until " The Legend of Ruby Sunday,“the Doctor believed Sutekh to be dead , so The Beatles ' smooth foreshadowing refute that assumption is very important after the events of the two - part finish .
6The “Susan Triad Technologies” Wordplay
The Sue Tech/Sutekh connection was a little heavy-handed (but it kind of worked)
ShowrunnerRussell T Davy liked to bring with words inDoctor Whoseason 14 , even if some of the anagram were a bit of a reach . Triad Technologies was referenced as betimes as the 60th day of remembrance specials , but without Susan ’s first initial , it was a little wily to arrive at the " TARDIS " tease that could be constructed from " S. TRIAD . " That being said , when Susan Twist ’s quality was revealed to portion out the same first name as her actress , it became much more difficult to invalidate the Suetkh / Sue Tech connection due to the tech mogul ’s theatre of operations of study .
Susan Triad was discover to be one of Sutekh ’s avatar .
There is probably a reason why this " anagram " was only made available in the same instalment as the Sutekh reveal . It ’s incredibly on - the - nozzle , although the incomplete nature of the available letter could arguably have kept viewing audience in the dark for much longer . Clunky nature of the clue away , it still allowed Sutekh ’s mien to remain undiscoveredby most of theDoctor Whofan nucleotide as well as all the characters .

5The Strained TARDIS Noises That Started In “Wild Blue Yonder”
There isn’t much that can make the TARDIS groan
The TARDIS made a auditory sensation it had never made before in David Tennant ’s second full installment as the Fourteenth Doctor . The mysterious noise seems a minuscule worrying at first , but in the end harmless . It happen again a handful of times after Gatwa stepped into the theatrical role of the Doctor , but the fact it often happen in the middle of a much bigger mystery / crisis means it can swiftly be swept under the rug until the time is good .
Sutekh had n’t appear onscreen since 1975 , but as shortly as I see the Doctor Who villain in his original setting , I was glad he add up back .
Doctor Whonever really in full explainswhy the TARDIS moan , but the most spectacular theory is the Doctor ’s sentient blue box is under a lot of strain from carrying Sutekh around for so long . Although it ’s been doing so for hundred by the time season 14 , the God of Death ’s attempt to emerge may have been enough to alert the TARDIS that something is very incorrect . Watching these moments back , the TARDIS may as well be squall , " Sutekh is come , Sutekh is do ! " gratefully , the TARDIS does n’t communicate conventionally , so the Suetkh twist remained under wraps .

4The Toymaker Being Retroactively Added To The Pantheon Should Have Been A Big Clue
The Toymaker and Sutekh both originate in Doctor Who’s classic era
The Pantheon did n’t live during the Toymaker ’s first appearance inDoctor Who ’s classic era . rather , he was simply an self-governing baddie . However , whenDoctor Who ’s Disney earned run average brought the persona back with Neil Patrick Harrisin the function , it was as one of the franchise ’s new god . When Maestro appears in " The Devil ’s Chord , " the Doctor cite the Pantheon as if the grouping has always live , teasing there were more members . If anyDoctor Whovillains from the classic era were going to follow the Toymaker into a Pantheon rank , Sutekh should have been a prime defendant .
The fear the Toymaker and Maestro both voice about " The One Who Waits " should have been a Brobdingnagian signifier of the moniker being restrain by Sutekh .
Despite only look in one premature idiot box story before season 14,Sutekh was still one of the most hefty beings to ever feature inDoctor Who . His ability to kill with a single cutaneous senses , as well as share this ability with his terrific avatar , makes him an implausibly formidable opponent . The fright the Toymaker and Maestro both spokesperson about " The One Who Waits " should have been a vast signifier of the sobriquet being held by Sutekh . Then again , the mysterious championship could refer to almost anyone out of context , including a sword - newDoctor Whovillain .
3Doctor Who Brought Back Sutekh’s Original Voice Actor
Sutekh ’s monologue that finally leads up to revealing himself in " The Legend of Ruby Sunday " would have spoiled the big twist for fans ofDoctor Who ’s definitive era . Gabriel Woolf , who played the villain in " pyramid of Mars , " was recruited to voice the reimagined version of the reference in season 14 . So , for anyone particularly familiar with Woolf’sDoctor Whodebut back in 1975 , it would be easy to work out the imminent return of Sutekh . Woolf has an incredibly recognizable timbrethat could have given ruined the reveal away onward of time .
Woolf ’s return to the use could also have been an attempt at misdirection . The worker voiced the Beast fromDoctor Whoseason 2 , episode 8 and 9 - " The Impossible Planet " and " The Satan Pit . " The David Tennant - epoch scoundrel shares several similarities with Sutekh , andWoolf ’s dual - cast is a gravid style to throw fans of the setting . Ultimately , the ploy ended up being far less meta than a connection between both Gabriel Woolf quality .
2The Title Of Doctor Who Season 14’s Finale Episode Is Huge Nod To Sutekh
Maestro’s endgame looks like Sutekh’s goal as well
" Empire of Death " is a deed that could ( and did ) easily slip under the radar of even the most devotedDoctor Whofans . It ’s just world-wide enough to sound equivocally ominous , but a semi - generous recitation adjudge Sutekh as the story ’s primary baddie . Sutekh is n’t an especially layer spoilt guy , as his exclusive aim is only for death to be the reigning body politic of being throughout the world . So , any victory enjoyed by the character would certainly fit the description of an Empire of Death .
TheDoctor Whoseason 14 trailer also includes a dust cloud , which is a big character reference to Sutekh ’s classical earned run average episodes .
Of course , Sutekh is far from the onlyDoctor Whovillain with secure tie-in to the construct of death , but he arguably has the strongest and most verbatim connection to want as much of it as possible . Plus , Woolf ’s character even uses the word " conglomerate " when tell apart Tom Baker ’s Fourth Doctor about his program in " Pyramids Mars , " strengthening the overall possibility and eventually - right prediction that the " Empire of Death " will belong to Suetkh .

1Maestro’s Apocalyptic Goals Are Very Similar To those Of Sutekh’s Master Plan
Sutekh’s Death Wave achieves the same thing as Maestro’s calculated plan
When the Doctor and Ruby travel to the present day to find the wallop of the death of music , the complete lack of human lifetime aligns with Sutekh ’s desire . Whilethe God of Death ’s plan go beyond that of obliterate Earth , it ’s still a grown clue about what ’s to come . However , it ’s the nature of Gatwa and Gibon ’s character ’s proceeds to the present that makes Sutekh ’s return find even more inevitable . While it ’s easy to omit without seeing " Great Pyramid of Mars , " that does n’t make it any less relevant .
When I was watch the thrilling closing curtain of Doctor Who time of year 14 , I hold on thinking about a exchangeable MCU story , and how much well the latter was .
In the 1975 Tom Baker story where Sutekh debut , Elisabeth Sladen ’s Sarah Jane Smith expect the Doctor to return to her native meter from 1911 . The Fourth Doctor apply the TARDIS to show Sarah Jane the impact of Sutekh ’s action if forget to be successful . The Fifteenth Doctor does the precise same thing with Ruby when she states the world ca n’t end in the sixties because her existence is evidence to the contrary . He manages to make Ruby empathise thatMaestro can be successful in deepen account , and it ’s a replica of a bit from Sutekh’sDoctor Whodebut .
