Doctor Who has revealed the final fate of the Doctor’s homeworld, Gallifrey. The Doctor has always been considered the most enigmatic of the Time Lords, refusing to bow to the typical Gallifreyan philosophy of non-interference. As a result, the Doctor has rarely been welcome there. Russel T. Davies’ Doctor Who relaunch established that Gallifrey had fallen, with both the Time Lords and the Daleks wiping one another out.

Disney+ has many movies and shows that require chronological viewing; however, the service doesn’t offer an option to view them this way. While the release of Disney+ has been highly successful, this doesn’t mean that the streaming service hasn’t been receiving some constructive criticism.
