The Doctor Probably Won’t Be Able To Tell If Rogue Is A Chuldur (At First)

Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor doesn’t know Rogue that well

The reality of the position is thatthe Doctor and Rogue drop very little time togetherbefore they ’re separated . They may have fallen for each other very cursorily , but neither role knows all that much about the other . This gives the Chuldur a huge reward , as the Doctor ’s guard would be down if he come across Rogue again . The Time Lord would likely be so relieved to see the object of his heart that there could be a window where he ’s caught off - guard by a villainous Chuldur in camouflage .

The Doctor has the engineering and the expertise to eventually grumble any foreigner playing tricks on him , so the Chuldur would need to represent chop-chop to achieve whatever their finish would be while using Rogue ’s flesh .

Of naturally , the Doctor is one of the most intelligent beings in the beetleweed , and so the subterfuge would n’t be indefinite . The Doctor has the technology and the expertise to finally rumble any aliens playing tricks on him , so the Chuldur would need to act apace to achieve whatever their goals would be while using Rogue ’s form . They may simply want to toss off the Dr. , but their end may be far more complex and require them to spend more time masquerading as his raw love interest . The Chuldur all see the Doctor kissing Rogue , so he ’ll be easier to put one across .

Doctor Who Is Evidence That Shapeshifters In Sci-Fi Aren’t Always A Great Idea

The Chuldur could now be lurking around every corner in Doctor Who

Groff describes the Fifteenth Doctor as a shapeshifter in " Rogue , " which does n’t find like an accurate description at first , but it actually is . The difference is that the Chuldur can take on a new form at will , whereas the Doctor ’s regeneration oscillation is spark off instinctively when he ’s mortally injure . The restrictions to the Doctor ’s shapeshifting allow for a level of control overDoctor Who ’s storytelling , whereasthe Chuldur ’s gift for changing their form create narration issuesthat can now essentially never be rectify .

John Barrowman ’s Captain Jack Harkness was once a polar character in the Doctor Who universe , but he may have just been swapped out for a new face .

Even the naturalistic possibility of Rogue returning as a Chuldur think of this could now be the shell for many other character in theDoctor Whouniverse . Shapeshifting can poison a narrative well in a way that ’s insufferable to fare back from . graphic symbol comeback and even deaths all descend with an asterisk once type are put in who can commute their soma , as it means there ’s a probability that nothing is ever permanent , nor is it exactly what it seems . That being order , it can have its place within the music genre , and Rogue ’s return as a Chuldur in disguise could be a greatDoctor Whostoryline .
