Despite potentially resolving one of the biggest mysteries in the show, the finale of Doctor Who Season 14 left some fans feeling disappointed.
Following eight thrilling episodes, the conclusion of Doctor Who Season 14 saw the Doctor and his companion Ruby Sunday facing their ultimate enemy, Sutekh, in a final showdown.
The final episode ultimately provided answers to the overarching questions that had been scattered throughout the season, the most significant being the revelation of Ruby’s mother’s identity.
Despite providing the long-awaited answer, a portion of fans were left disappointed with the conclusion of the show.
Caution: Significant spoilers for Doctor Who below!
The Season 14 finale unveiled Ruby’s mother, Louise, as an average woman who abandoned her daughter on the steps of a church after giving birth at the age of 15.
Many fans have speculated about Louise’s identity in Doctor Who Season 14, with some theories suggesting a connection to Susan Twist or a familial relation to the Doctor himself.
Despite this, it was revealed that Ruby’s mother held significance only for the Doctor, Sutekh, and the audience as a whole due to the common tendency to attribute importance to things.
Despite Ruby’s desire to accompany the Doctor on his next adventure, he ultimately persuades her to remain with her mother and newly found father in an incredibly emotional farewell.
Despite the emotional impact of the major reveal in Doctor Who, some viewers were disappointed by the underwhelming stakes surrounding Ruby’s mother’s identity.
A video of Homelander staring at a screen was shared by a fan on X/Twitter with the caption, “Doctor Who fans from all over the country when pictures of an ordinary woman appeared on screen.”
Another individual responded, stating, “I have been a supporter of this entire season, but the ending was disappointing. Ruby’s mother is simply a woman? How is she able to create snow? Why did the memory alter? And why did Sutekh perish after being thrown into the time vortex, when that was how he previously survived?”
A third fan concisely expressed the sentiment of viewers who were left unsatisfied by the season finale with the post, “I have great admiration for Millie Gibson, Ruby Sunday, Ncuti Gatwa, and Doctor Who, but the finale of this series was extremely disappointing and it has left me feeling devastated.”
