Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

Does no one remember Captain Jack and hints that The Doctor was also a bit of a pansexual?

absolutely, indeed I was thinking initially that Rogue might turn out to be a disguised Captain Jack, but that wasnt to be.
And despite past Doctors hinting at being pansexual, Gatwa's version is quite overtly gay and it is still the first same-gender kiss

I beg to differ.

They gave The Doctor a boyfriend only to kill him off. There's no way the Chulder are letting him live once they get to the whatever dimension they were sent to and there's no way The Doctor can get there fast enough to save him so Rogue's dead. It'd be one thing if Rogue refused to join The Doctor because he values his independence too much, but this was such a contrived way of getting rid of him that it nearly ruined my enjoyment of the episode.

Otherwise I loved it and hope Chulder show up as antagonists in future episodes even if it's not soon. There's a lot the writers could do with them in terms of personality and abilities. Their perspective is that people ARE costumes, so I think you could get some good commentary out of that.

He travels in a time machine.

#2 - I did not like how this one ended. The field stops anyone from moving, but, someone else can push you out? Err, what? I really did not like that.

Yeah, couldn’t they take it in turns to push each other out?

He travels in a time machine.

By that reasoning in Dot and Bubble The Doctor should have just traveled forwards in time to when the Finetimers were desperate enough to accept his help (a few days at most) and save them then.

If a later episode negates Rogue's sacrifice it'll make the episode retroactively worse because they could have just had Rogue value their independence too much to go with The Doctor and had the same result without the contrived need for a sacrifice. Unless the dimension Rogue ends up in is a plot point, in which case it'll still be contrived but at least there was a reason for it. And need to explain what happened with the Chulder.

I beg to differ.

Rewatching seasons 1 and 2 (Eccleston and Tenant) and forgot that Jack shows up in the first season. Jack also got his own Show which had a lot of gay relationship storylines in it (I think at least three of out of the four main characters had at least one gay storyline at some point in the shows run).

The implication was that the 'prisoners' would be rather lonely and they all dropped individually, if I remember correctly, so they may all be in their own separate purgatories.

Sure.

Alright, if that's the case then Rogue's not dead, just trapped in an empty dimension The Doctor somehow thought was better than being killed (which is another example of contrivance and OOC behavior from The Doctor, I'd believe it if he came up with a way to contain the Chulder as opposed to going for a fate worse than death since this Doctor has yet to show anything like that).

And the rest of the season should be The Doctor either searching through every dimension individually or looking for a way to find out which one since going right from "heartfelt declarations" to "And on to the next fun adventure, he'll get back to finding Rogue later" goes against The Doctor's characterization.

I hope you're right, it'd be a better move than "The Doctor gets a boyfriend who immediately gets banished forever."
