We have no idea how many years or incarnations are in-between this version of the Doctor and William Hartnell's "First" Doctor. Thanks to "The Timeless Child," we know now this Doctor had worked for an organization called The Division, which operated outside of Time Lord law. In Episode 5 of this season, "Fugitive of the Judoon," we met a previously unknown version of the Doctor, hidden on Earth. And then, in "The Timeless Children," the Master did the same thing.Ī SECRET VERSION OF THE DOCTOR LIVED ON EARTH IN 2020 UNDER THE NAME "RUTH" In "Praxeus," the Doctor refers to her "brains" in the plural. And now, in Season 12, two episodes confirm the plural brain thing. Though hinted at in the Twelfth Doctor episode "Extremis," this season confirmed that Time Lords have at least two - maybe three - brains. The difference now is, we had a very, very specific glimpse into what that aftermath looked like on Earth. The Doctor does tell Graham, Yaz, and Ryan that this future could be changed, but so far, Who canon has told us that this is happening. Solar radiation is a direct result of the atmosphere being destroyed.

In "Orphan 55," we learned that at some point in the Earth's future, climate change will cause the humans left behind to mutate into creatures called the Dregs. **Spoilers ahead for all of Doctor Who Season 12.**ĮARTH-DWELLING HUMANS TURN INTO MUTANTS CALLED THE DREGS IN AT LEAST ONE FUTURE Here's a brief recap of why the 2020 Season 12 of Doctor Who shook things up the most, and what each of these changes might mean going forward. Outside of the 50th Anniversary special - "The Day of the Doctor" - in 2013, there's never been this many changes to Doctor Who canon in one year. Between the return of the Master, the ascension of the Cybermen, and even the return of very obscure villains from the Fifth Doctor era, Doctor Who Season 12 dipped into the 57-year-old toy box perhaps more than any other contemporary season in recent memory. If longtime fans of Doctor Who felt that Jodie Whittaker's first season - Season 11 - was a little too light on explaining the sprawling mythology of the series, then Season 12 is pretty much the exact opposite.
