Yesterday I asked a tipsy friend who has never watched the show about the Doctors etc etc

She knows they're all the same person but not much else.

We always talk about the Valeyard like he’s this horribly evil guy that the Doctor dreads possibly becoming, and while I’m sure the Doctor does feel that way about him, if you look at what actually happened in the episode, what did the Valeyard really do? Antagonize the Doctor and try to kill the High Council? Let’s be real, the Doctor would already do either of those things for one corn chip.

DOCTOR: He'd see me dead tomorrow. MASTER: Gladly, Doctor. [looking to the Valeyard] But I'm not prepared to countenance a rival.

RIP Michael Jayston (29.10.1935 - 5.2.2024)

"Well, I played a lot of interesting people. I was Siegfried Sassoon in ‘Mad Jack’, and played Beethoven and Rochester in Jane Eyre amongst others. When I did Equus in 1976, a critic described my work on television as ‘odd bits of TV’, but these are no small parts for an actor."

Sad to learn we've lost another Doctor Who star - and a Doctor, no less.

Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 47

The Third Doctor bought Sarah Jane her stuffed owl. (Novel: Interference - Book Two)

The "most detailed, informative, and in many ways insidious" information about the Doctor that the Daleks possess was taken by dramatized biographies made by the BBC starting in 1963. (Novel: Dalek Survival Guide)

The Master put together the Psychic Circus in order to exploit the psychic energy with the help of an amulet that the Gods of Ragnarok had given him. (Audio: The Psychic Circus)

The Ninth Doctor got himself banned from the York Central Library and possibly all other UK libraries. (Short story: Have You Seen This Man?)

According to some accounts, Time Lords gained the ability to regenerate due to a regeneration virus, which spread through contact. It only granted about 5% of individuals regenerative abilities, killed 10%, and left 85% unaffected. (Short story: The Scrolls of Rassilon)

The Council of the Great Mother is a Gallifreyan organization that specializes on the politics surrounding regeneration and some additional religious matters. (Audio: Spring)

While stuck in a dream on the verge of regeneration (while the Master was in turn trying to prevent that regeneration), the Fifth Doctor was unable to remember his wife's name or how many children he had lost over the years (he lost count after five). (Audio: Winter)

The Sixth Doctor once became the Valeyard, but this was temporary. (Novel: Millennial Rites)

On an unknown university campus, the Ninth Doctor was caught having an argument with the Seventh. (Short story: Have You Seen This Man?)

The Seal of Rassilon was designed originally to ward off evil. (Novel: The Pit)

"Gallifrey" translates to "they that walk in shadows." (Novel: The Pit)

The Seventh Doctor had a cat named Wolsey, which the Eighth Doctor eventually gave to Bernice Summerfield. (Novel: The Dying Days)

Braxiatel had a fiancee named Veronica Bland, who was actually a plant. She had been using a pheromone to attract people to eat, and after withering away, he kept some of her remains on his desk. (Audio: Braxiatel in Love)

In the above situation, Benny Summerfield was Braxiatel's best man. (Audio: Braxiatel in Love)

The Fifth Doctor once said that Gallifreyans from the Prydonian Chapter could not be trusted as they were far too cunning. Nyssa then had to remind him that he was Prydonian. (Audio: Spring)

The Third Doctor's address was listed as "The TARDIS, care of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, UNIT HQ." (Novel: The Time Lord Letters)

The first sign that Doctor John Tyler, known to his friends as “The Doctor,” is about to have a truly terrible day—or maybe truly brilliant day, it’s that kind of sign and he’s that kind of man—is when he picks up the morning newspaper and sees all the words on it have been replaced by the repeated “Bad Wolf.”

The second sign is the achingly familiar sound of a TARDIS engine. Not his TARDIS, no—she’s still parked in the back garage, Rose is still in bed, and Mia spent the night at a friend’s house and also doesn’t have a key. Shouldn’t have a key. She probably stole a key. Mia definitely has a key.

The third sign is when, instead of the familiar police box, an entire 1950s American diner materializes on his front lawn.

The small brunette woman who steps out looks… well, to a human, she’d look human. But the Doctor is not human. Or, well, half. Half-human. Half and a bit. Long disused senses scream at him that this woman is wrong, as wrong as Jack, that she’s a frozen instant of time and she doesn’t appear to be breathing. Or have a heartbeat.

“Doctor?” she says.

He blinks. “…Yes, I’m The Doctor,” he says. “Blimey, where’d you get a TARDIS?”

She steps forward with a cheeky grin, holding out her hand for a shake. “My name’s Clara Oswald, and, for lack of a better option… today, I’m The Doctor.”

He takes her hand in his, confused, and shakes. “For lack of a better option?” He doesn’t like the sound of that. He really doesn’t like the sound of that.

“He regenerated,” she says, and he doesn’t need to ask to know which “he” she’s referring to. “Into the Valeyard.”

The Doctor feels his one, singular, human heart stop.

Terrible day, then.

He’d best wake Rose.

Lore issues aside, the main reason I hate the Timeless Child is because it restricts creative writing opportunities.

Besides mortal danger no longer being as big of a threat to the Doctor, it means that there won't be another chance for the Doctor to confront the end of their life in a final incarnation and find a creative way around it.

Imagine the Doctor on their last life (again), after several series of buildup with unfinished adventures, loose plot threads, and threats that were not entirely beaten - either through accident or necessity - or were replaced by new ones. The Doctor regenerates into their final incarnation and realises they've got so much unfinished business. They rush to complete all they've left before their last breath, only for more things to come up against them. "It's not fair", they think, "that I should die when I could do so much more good in the universe". And they go a bit dark. They remember all the times their old frienemy tried to steal their regenerations after running out themselves. But had they? We've never seen half of the Master's incarnations in media despite him running through a regeneration cycle (perhaps 2 by this point), and the Doctor decides it's time to return the favour. They travel back and steal the Master's regenerations, giving themselves more lives (not a whole cycle, maybe just 5 or 6 more), robbing the Master of his and creating some of the conflict they've previously faced.

You never remove the problem, only postpone it, allowing other writers to come up with new ways to get round it. That's why I find the Timeless Child to be such a copout and boring solution to this problem. Because it restricts storytelling, not expands it.
