Doctor Who
The classicDoctor Whoseries may have already revealed the Timeless Child ’s portion . Doctor Whoshowrunner Chris Chibnall promised the show would never be the same after season 12 , and he was n’t exaggerating ; the season 12 finale was the biggest retcon in the show ’s decades - tenacious history .
In the finale , the Doctor learned she is not a Time Lord at all ; rather , she is the Timeless Child , a mysterious being who potentially prey the universe itself . Discovered by a Gallifreyan explorer , this child became the base genetical code for the entire Time Lord subspecies when the Gallifreyans discovered her business leader of re-formation . The Timeless Child remained a part of Time Lord culture for untold millennia , going through an unidentified number of re-formation . In the end , though , her memories were forcibly erased by the Time Lords , and she was regenerate back to an infant again . It ’s a shocking wrench , arguablyforeshadowed by some episode of classicDoctor Whobut negate many aspects of the show since its 2005 relaunch .

Curiously enough , it ’s possible the Peter Davison news report " Arc of Infinity " already foreshadowed the Timeless Child ’s true lot . In that story , the ancient Time Lord named Omega attempt to run from the antimatter universe of discourse in which he had been imprisoned ; he had an agent onGallifreysteal the Doctor ’s biodata , and he used this to bring together with him and attempt to lend himself back to ceremonious reality . A bit of scenes were arrange on Gallifrey , and they visualise the High Council continually reference mysterious events in Gallifrey ’s past .
The Time Lords believe the extradimensional intruder would induce the greatest explosion since the Big Bang , as issue and antimatter collided . accord to the Time Lords , there was precedent for this kind of state of affairs , and they ’d been pull to go to extreme length to prevent an unseen cataclysm . Although great penalisation is outlawed on Gallifrey , they had decided this was the only way to redeem all of innovation . A Time Lord had been executed , destroyed , for the saki of the universe of discourse .
The Timeless Child retcon means the Doctor - or a pre - Doctor embodiment - will have been present on Gallifrey during these events . Given that ’s the instance , it ’s fairish to assume the Doctor has always been something of a trouble attractor , and that he was involved in all of this . In fact , it could well be this is a garbled account of the Timeless Child ’s ultimate destiny ; that some cosmic mien pursued the Timeless Child to Gallifrey , and theTime Lordsfaked his execution . The verity has been forgotten in the mist of time ; after all , the Timeless Child was n’t just a shock to the Doctor , but to his fellow class fellow the Master . If this is the cause , the interesting inquiry is just what cosmic force pursued the Timeless Child - and whether or not it ’s still out there .
