Doctor Who
Summary
The resolution ofDoctor Who’sseason coda purportedly included Sutekh ’s death , but the question of whether he really croak is wide open . Sutekh is considered the most powerful and dangerous ofall the gods inDoctor Who ’s Pantheonof Discord . The penultimate episode of season 14 revealed that he had return 50 yr after the Fourth Doctor thought he had do away with him by trapping him in a meter burrow , thus forcing the Doctor to battle him with Melanie and Ruby , the only other two survivor of Sutekh ’s pernicious attempt .
Sutekh ’s original appearing in " Pyramids of Mars " is widely debate to be one of thebestDoctor Whostoriesof all time . During that story , the Doctor stopped Sutekh from escape his prison underneath a pyramid by using the TARDIS to move a prison term tunnel to re - trap him , supposedly killing him after 7,000 years of being stuck . However , this turned out not to be the case , as Sutekh bring out to the Fifteenth Doctor that he had latch himself onto the TARDIS or else of croak . This first fakeout has led to widespread speculation that Sutekh escaped deatha 2d time .
Doctor Who time of year 14 reintroduced one of its oldest villains . Here ’s everything to know about the show ’s ancient god of demise and wipeout .
The Doctor Believes Sutekh Is Dead After Doctor Who Season 14
He Ejected Him Into the Time Vortex After Undoing His Trail of Destruction
The first one-half ofDoctor Who ’s season 14 finale featured the success of Sutekh ’s deadly programme , as his pestilent dust distribute across the creation , killing everyone in its path , include the doc ’s friends at UNIT and leaving the Doctor feeling adequate region guilty and determined to reverse the scathe . He finally trap Sutekh and forced him to reverse the scathe , after which he ejected him into the Time Vortex . The Doctor declared that this was the end of Sutekh , this time for skilful .
The Doctor ’s sentiment was understandable . After Sutekh used the Doctor ’s TARDIS to plant the seeds for the destruction of all aliveness and wangle the Doctor of the Church ’s sense of closing off , loneliness , and guilt trip over his belief that he ruined the lives of all he loved , the Doctor would want to trust he vanquished himfor once and all . However , there is no grounds to conceive that Sutekh is all utter . AlthoughDoctor Whoshowrunner Russell T Davies affirm Sutekh ’s death , that could change if the story demands it , and it ’s illogical to trust Sutekh is for good gone .
Sutekh Can Easily Return In Future Doctor Who Seasons
His Death Was Retconned Once And Could Be Again
The most compelling grounds against Sutekh ’s death is the fact that he cheated it last time the Doctor tangled with him by latching onto the TARDIS rather of remaining stuck . Given this backstory , ifDoctor Whowanted to bring Sutekh back , it could reveal that Sutekh attach himself to some other ship or person as he tumbled through the Time Vortex . to boot , sinceDoctor Whofeatures sentence travel , it ’s potential that an already - aired instalment was the resolution of Sutekh ’s manipulations after being ejected from the TARDIS , which could be reveal during a later story involve Sutekh ’s survival .
The retcon that Sutekh has been latched onto the TARDIS all these yr negate several other canon case , so a Modern story involving his survival does not have to be full consistent with canon .
Getting throw into the Time Vortex does n’t have to be fatal , and Sutekh should be more potential to survive than others . Doctor Whohas explained the Pantheonis a stage set of nearly perdurable gods , so it make small sense for the god of death to be so easily demolish . Sutekh spent 50 yr cautiously plot the demise of the entire cosmos , and it does n’t make sensation that in the blink of an optic , he was forced to unwrap all his punishing work and then kill . Thus , Davies or another future showrunner could easily undo Sutekh ’s death in a future story .
Doctor Who’s 60th Anniversary May Have Already Revealed How Sutekh Returns
The Same Irregularity That Led to The Doctor’s Bi-Generation Might Have Saved Sutekh
The Doctor ’s assumption that he eject Sutekh from the TARDIS relies on the assumption that there is only one copy of the TARDIS in the universe . However , this is n’t the case . " The Giggle " have the unequalled feature of bi - generation instead of positive feedback , which occurred because of the Toymaker ’s manipulation . After get the better of the Toymaker , the Fifteenth Doctor split the TARDIS into two copies so that the Fourteenth Doctor could park his and loosen up with Donna until he felt like traveling while Fifteen travel on new adventures . Since Sutekh had infiltrate the TARDIS before this , the second TARDIS may have a 2d Sutekh sequester to it .
This return to wreak havoc after supposedly dying would be more worthy of the powerful god of death than the end that was written for him ( … )
The idea of Sutekh posture in Donna ’s garden waiting for the right clip to happen upon is truly scary , which would make for a gripping third part to the Sutekh saga should it make out to take place . Doctor Whohas an chance to correct its flawed logic in killing off Sutekh by bringing him back for a third story . This type of return to play mayhem after purportedly die would be more desirable of the brawny god of expiry than the ending that was write for him so far , specially since there ’s little grounds to believe Sutekh is dead .
