Not every episode of Doctor Who starts with killing the Doctor and all the guest stars in the first ten minutes, but after Doctor Who: Flux, one supposed clearing the decks would be a proper beginning. At least a clearing of the deck is supposedly happening when viewers rejoin the

In its final season with Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor, Doctor Who has gone downright experimental. Season 13, known as Doctor Who: Flux, may have wound up a wild failure, but so are many experiments run on long-running series like this, and one cannot blame them for trying.

Doctor Who: Flux is over, but that doesn't mean Doctor Who is done with the Thirteenth Doctor just yet. There will be no full season in 2022, but there will be a series of specials as the show gears up to cast a replacement lead and transfer from

When the BBC announced showrunner Chris Chibnall and star Jodie Whittaker would be moving on from Doctor Who after three seasons, there was a question of when exactly Whittaker's tenure would end. Of the Doctors in the modern reboot, only Christopher Eccleston exited in a regular-season finale

Last week's Doctor Who ended with the end of the universe as the Flux entered the TARDIS from every door. (There were a lot of extra doors.) The week opens with the Doctor waking up from a black and white dream with a giant haunted house to a
