Part 10/12:
With the latest series drawing the lowest viewership in its history, the franchise appears to be on "permanent hiatus" or perhaps approaching the end of the line. Rumors swirl about whether the series will be canceled officially or simply shelved—much like many other franchises that have sold out to corporate interests or political agendas.
The entire saga leaves fans feeling betrayed: a beloved icon turned into a soapbox for ideology. The once inclusive, imaginative world of the Doctor, who symbolized hope and curiosity, has been replaced by a spectacle of political signaling, cultural grievance, and artistic disarray.
