The Question
Eternal
It's also bound to confuse long time viewers. We saw Hartnell's 1st Doctor steal the TARDIS and run away in it. So did the Timeless McGuffin steal a TARDIS, run away in it, and start calling herself the Doctor, then somehow get captured by the Gallifreyans, get her mind wiped... and then they let her/him do it again later? Are the Gallifreyans truly that mind-bendingly stupid?

The whole thing is stupid, and unless something spectacular happens, I'm filing DW in the same file as SW... over with.

I'm chalking the whole 'Timeless Child' debacle up to the Master fucking with the Doctor's head. That's all it is, just an elaborate mindfuck.
The Question
Eternal
A further thought: every backstory on the relationship between the Master and the Doctor at least in NuWho is that they grew up together. How did they grow up together if the Doctor is the Timeless McGuffin?
True, we saw River Song go from a teenage/young adult Melody Pond to a little girl in an alley after she regenerated. But River Song is just another bullet in the Timeless McGuffin story, because she had the regeneration ability and wasn't Gallifreyan. She inherited it by being conceived on the TARDIS or whatever, so it's not a species-exclusive genetic trait but an environmental one. Conceived near a time vortex? Regeneration, whether Gallifreyan or just bum-average human.
It's also more than possible that the Doctor didn't remember the "Ruth" Doctor, because "Ruth" was not the Doctor at all. We only have her word for that being who she is. Her callousness about death? Her being a fugitive? Could entirely be that "Ruth" was actually a future incarnation of the Master.

Unless I hear through the grapevine that something totally awesome happens, I'm taking a hard pass on DW for the foreseeable future. The show runner has so completely covered this show in liquid shit that I can't waste my time on it.

The phrase "Companion fam" should be a prescription emetic.

IKR. There was a "Revelation of the Daleks" back in the 6th Doctor's time. Fuck me if I can remember exactly what the revelation was, though.

Doctor Who: John Barrowman Brings Back Captain Jack for Holiday Special - TVLine
Captain Jack is headed back to the Whoniverse — and this time it’ll be no mere pitstop.
John Barrowman will reprise his role as Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who‘s upcoming holiday special, “Revolution of the Daleks,” BBC America announced Monday. Barrowman made a brief return to the franchise earlier this year in the Season 12 episode, “Fugitive of the Judoon.”
In “Revolution of the Daleks,” Captain Jack “will be on hand to help the fam as they discover a disturbing plan forming involving one of the Doctor’s most feared and dangerous enemies, the Daleks,” per BBC America. “With the Thirteenth Doctor locked away in a space prison, will Captain Jack be able to help save planet Earth?”
In a statement, Barrowman gushed, “Putting on Jack’s coat and setting foot back on the set of Doctor Who was just like going back home. It’s always thrilling to play Captain Jack. He’s a character very close to my heart who changed my life, and to know the fans love him as much as I do makes his return even sweeter. I hope everyone enjoys Jack’s heroic adventure with Thirteen.”
EP Chris Chibnall, meanwhile, declared. “A Doctor Who holiday special means treats galore, and there’s no bigger treat than the return of John Barrowman to Doctor Who, for an epic and emotional feature-length episode. If anyone can blast away the sheer rubbishness of 2020, it’s Captain Jack. Daleks beware!”
Barrowman debuted as Captain Jack in Doctor Who‘s inaugural season back in 2005. He went on to headline the Doctor Who offshoot Torchwood, which launched in 2006 and ran for four seasons.

I did enjoy Jack's appearance last season. But I just can't get excited for an episode written by Chibnall (I assume it's written by Chibnall.)

Every time she speaks to him in her thick Sheffield vocal fry, he should lean in, put his hand to his ear and say "Can't understand a word you're sayin' honey!"
