This feels a hundred percent accurate:
HOLY SHIT but that’s the queerest thing to happen to Doctor Who since Tom Baker released the Megara in “Stones of Blood”, and OH but certain elements of Twitter and Youtube are going to have a stroke over it. “Rogue” feels like it was specially timed for Pride Month, let’s just say, and, well, it certainly delivers on that front. Someone else on Bluesky noted that one of this episode’s writers previously helmed a series which Russell T. was quite critical of about its queer representation, so they were evidently determined that wouldn’t happen a second time.
Also, if you’re a fan of Who canon being completely fucked…
I mean, Rusty wasn’t kidding when he said he was retaining the whole Timeless Child thing, there’s Jo Martin as part of the Doctor’s parade of previous faces (and both Tennants)… but there’s also Richard E. Grant. The animated Doctor from “Scream of the Shalka” is apparently now a legitimate canon Doctor. That’s a trick he kept up his sleeve… I wish he’d gone all the way and included Peter Cushing (Amicus films Doctor) plus Trevor Martin and David Banks (stage Doctors), but that’s OK, this will tie enough people in knots as it is. Is it too late to write a fourth explanation for the destruction of Atlantis…?
