Doctor Who's Final 60th Anniversary Special Committed The Same Sin Chibnall's Flux Was Criticized For

Despite the backlash from Chibnall's Flux, RTD made the same massive mistake in Doctor Who's final 60th anniversary special, "The Giggle."

Chris Chibnall's Flux received justified criticism for its confusing plot and lack of explanations. The need for post-episode breakdown videos reflects its failure to effectively present the story.
RTD's Doctor Who 60th-anniversary special, "The Giggle," also falls short, requiring after-the-fact explanations for major plot points. This creates a barrier for fans and shows a lack of learning from past mistakes.
Doctor Who needs to stop relying on post-airing commentary to clear up confusing plot points. The show should provide answers within the episodes themselves or simplify storylines to ensure clarity and prevent audience backlash.
