Title: Doctor Who: Echoes of the Time War

Doctor: Tilda Swinton
Companion: The Amnesiac Stranger – Paul McGann (8th Doctor)
Tone: Dark, cerebral, emotionally rich sci-fi with horror and high-stakes morality

===== The Doctor, older and more withdrawn, emerges from self-imposed exile when she intercepts a fractured Time Lord signal buried in the ruins of a lost Time War battlefield. Drawn to a distant system, she discovers a brilliant yet broken man—wounded, amnesiac, but strangely familiar. With nowhere else to turn, she invites him aboard the TARDIS. =====

Together, they begin unravelling a terrifying truth: the Daleks have found a way to manipulate history, erasing entire timelines, resurrecting Time War relics, and even twisting past events to their advantage. Time itself is bleeding.

===== Unbeknownst to the Doctor, the man she’s traveling with is her eighth incarnation, torn from the Time War and stripped of memory to prevent a catastrophic paradox. As they grow closer, echoes of his identity slip through—fragments of knowledge he shouldn’t have, empathy for enemies he shouldn't understand, nightmares of planets burning. =====

By the finale, when the Daleks force a breach into the heart of Gallifrey’s forgotten vaults, his memory floods back. He realizes who he is. And more importantly, why he was hidden: the truth he holds could end the Daleks—but destroy time itself.

===== - Identity & memory – Who are we without our past? =====
* The cost of survival – Can you forgive yourself when you’ve erased the truth?
* Legacy & war – The scars of the Time War ripple through time, even when forgotten.

===== - The Doctor must choose: let the 8th Doctor die with his memories sealed to protect reality, or awaken him and risk everything to stop the Daleks one final time. =====
* The season ends with the TARDIS alone, spinning silently in the vortex, a broken sonic on the floor, and a fob watch ticking... just once.
