Doctor Who questions
Is the Doctor demoralize after The Master’s confession?
The Doctor, Jodie Whittaker was being a bit grumpy in the Tardis before setting off to Orphan 55. As everyone could see, she even lost her calm and Ryan (Tosin Cole), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Graham (Bradley Walsh) were the ones to bear her outburst. Thus seeing such behaviour just proves that doctor has been truly shaken by the Master’s confession that he destroyed Gallifrey and with it, the Time Lords.
Are teleporting cubes back?
A teleport cube is a new gadget for the Doctor which is made up of coupons that Graham assembles to send the gang to tranquillity spa. The cubes are not a new introduction to the show. They first appeared during the era of Patrick Troughton’s Second Doctor and returned in 2011 Neil Gaiman episode The Doctor’s Wife. But this still might be some factors that differentiate the two because of the teleporting cubes.

Has Orphan 55 always been Earth?
It was evident that Earth has always been Orphan 55 and from a scene in Planet of the Apes, the Doctor discovers a discarded sign written in Russian, revealing that Orphan 55 was Earth all along. A brief telepathic communication between the Doctor and a Dreg reveals that the humans were the ones who blew it up. They revealed some flashing images of devastation and explosions caused by nuclear weapons.

How does Earth’s destruction fit with Doctor Who history?
Orphan 55’s connection with Doctor Who is something which is just a thought currently. There are no proper connections between the two and Doctor Who’s latest trip to a future Earth or how it fits into the previously established list of devastating events are only a maybe. Till then, stay patient and cosy until the makers of the show unveil what’s next.
Does the Doctor breathe oxygen?
The Doctor herself is seen struggling for breath at the strange place which is known for having an atmosphere with less oxygen. This is weird, as previously, it was shown that Time Lords can survive without oxygen for much longer than humans. Thus, it seems a little bias to not give the Doctor a similar power.
