Doctor Who: The Mysterious Fate of Earth Revealed!

by

The second season has left fans in awe with its daring and inventive narratives. A significant reason for the series’ popularity among viewers is the collaboration of the Fifteenth Doctor with Belinda Chandra. Their pairing is a delight, as Belinda’s rugged, no-nonsense demeanor beautifully balances the Doctor’s more flamboyant personality. Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu share an impressive on-screen chemistry that keeps viewers captivated. Transitioning from one companion to another can be challenging, but Varada Sethu has effortlessly made the shift from Ruby to Belinda seem smooth.

One captivating aspect of Belinda’s introduction lies in her storyline development. In Season Two, the narrative primarily focuses on the Doctor’s efforts to return Belinda to her original time after the TARDIS malfunctions and fails to bring her back to the Present Day. When the TARDIS materializes in a new location, the Doctor employs a Vindicator device to pinpoint the coordinates of present-day Earth and subsequently drag the TARDIS to its intended destination. The unexplained circumstances preventing the Doctor from returning Belinda home continue to be an engaging enigma, particularly after the episode “The Well,” which introduces some intriguing, fresh insights into what is transpiring on Earth.

The Doctor Cannot Get Belinda To A Specific Date in May

In the recent season of “Doctor Who,” the TARDIS, which is notoriously unpredictable in its ability to transport the Doctor to specific locations, pushes the boundaries even further. When the Doctor saves Belinda from the BelindaChandra robots in “The Robot Revolution,” he struggles to return her home as the time and space machine stubbornly refuses. It refuses particularly to travel to May 25th, a day after Belinda was kidnapped by the robots. The reason behind the Doctor’s inability to drop Belinda off before this date remains mysterious, although it is plausible that he is trying to prevent Belinda from encountering her own past self and triggering a Blinovitch Limitation Effect.

In the concluding part of “The Robot Revolution,” there’s an ominous foreshadowing for our planet Earth. As the Doctor and Belinda gaze where Earth typically is, all they perceive is the endless expanse of space. The closing image reveals scattered Earth artifacts drifting aimlessly in space – items such as a London Taxi, the Eiffel Tower, and a calendar marked with May 24th.

By chance, May 24th is the same day as the premiere of the first half of the two-part season finale titled “Wish World.” This initial episode will pave the way for the final chapter of Doctor Who’s current season run. This implies that tensions will be running incredibly high during the last two episodes, as Earth is destroyed in the course of “Wish World.” It offers a great opportunity for character development for Belinda, as her family is expected to have perished along with Earth. It creates some intriguing comparisons between the Doctor and Belinda, who, like the Doctor, is the last known of their respective species following the Master’s devastating destruction of Gallifrey during Chris Chibnall’s tenure. Season Two has shown that Belinda shares a strong bond with her father, whom she affectionately recalls as an enthusiast for karaoke.

Nobody Remembers The Earth

In the recent episode titled “The Well,” Doctor Who’s fans were treated to an exhilarating adventure. The episode offers a captivating peek at the Midnight Entity, but its handling of the Season Two story arc remains rather mysterious. An intriguing twist unfolds when the Doctor and Belinda encounter soldiers investigating a mining colony on Midnight’s planet. They are astounded to find that these soldiers are unaware of Earth, which is quite extraordinary considering Earth’s prominence in the Doctor Who universe. When they mention Belinda’s homeworld to the soldiers, they dismissively call it a “foolish” name for a planet. This is particularly striking since Earth is one of the most renowned planets in the Doctor Who realm. After its demise in “The End Of The World,” human colonists established a new society on a comparable planet, which they named “New Earth.” Throughout Doctor Who, Earth is a recurring theme and a world that almost every inhabitant of the Whoniverse has heard about. It is frequently visited or invaded by extraterrestrial beings such as the Autons and the Slitheen.

I, too, find it fascinating how these soldiers seem oblivious even to the very race they are sworn to protect – humanity. Despite countless human colonies scattered across time and space in the Whoniverse, their ignorance is astonishing. In “The Ark In Space,” the Fourth Doctor, alongside Sarah Jane and Harry Sullivan, marveled at the resilience of humans on the Nerva Beacon, a testament to our indomitable spirit. These thousands of humans were in suspended animation, having fled Earth when it was hit by solar flares.

Humanity has earned a reputation as formidable as that of the Time Lords or the Daleks, and rarely does another interstellar race fail to hear of us. Our aspiration to traverse the stars has ensured the survival of our species through various catastrophes that have befallen Earth, including when our planet was consumed by the sun. It’s remarkable how a single planet can hold such a diverse and resilient species, capable of reaching for the stars.

Doctor Who Season Two’s Finale Title May Give A Clue Regarding Earth’s Disappearance

A possible hint regarding what may have transpired on Earth might be found in Season Two’s eighth episode. The final episode of Season Two is called “The Reality War,” and while specific details about it are scarce, the title suggests a conflict over reality could mean that the Doctor’s reality experiences alteration at the end of Season Two. This altered reality may be one where Earth and its human inhabitants are absent, which could explain why characters in “The Well” were unaware of the planet and humanity. However, this doesn’t account for remnants from Earth being observed drifting through space during “The Robot Revolution.

One alternative scenario might be that the Earth is unexpectedly wiped out on May 24th, giving rise to a different universe where the planet and its human inhabitants are mere relics of the past. This could account for why current knowledge about Earth and humans seems lost, and why remnants from the world can be found drifting through space. The destruction of Earth would have occurred before humanity had the opportunity to establish off-world colonies and interact with various alien species. As a result, many beings across the universe would remain unaware of Earth’s history or the existence of the human race.

It appears there might be a link between her and the Earth’s predicament, as hinted in seasons one and two of “Doctor Who.” Mrs. Flood has been portrayed as an enigmatic figure who seems to possess knowledge about the TARDIS. For instance, she reveals her awareness of the TARDIS in “The Church On Ruby Road,” and later warns that the Doctor’s tale will end in utter terror. More intriguingly, she informs a theater audience in “Lux” that the show ends on May 24th, which seems to imply she knows why the TARDIS can’t land on present-day Earth. There’s speculation that Mrs. Flood could have sinister intentions and might be behind the planet’s destruction or its removal from the timeline.
