am a doctor Christmas Special, “Joy to the World”Was nakuti gatwaThe Second Christmas Adventure after “Church on Ruby Road,” and certainly a chance to further the already vast history of BBC science-fiction. As the Doctor attempts to save the entire universe’s Christmas, he travels through several different time periods with Joey (Nicola Coughlan), encountering dinosaurs, among other dangerous threats. Although the campus is certainly action-packed, It’s one of the little details that made this Christmas memorableis the Time Hotel that the Doctor uses primarily to pass time, rather than his usual method TARDIS,
This time the hotel should be considered a big part of the lore addition as it affects one character in particular. Jack Harkness (John BarrowmanMany will remember Harkness as the immortal human time traveler whom we first met in the 2005 episode “The Empty Child”, when he meets christopher ecclestonThe doctor and his companion Rose (billie piper) during The Blitz. Well, Time Hotel not only begins to explain humanity’s evolving relationship with time-travel technology, but it also gives This appears to be a hint at the larger plot that revolves around how Jack Harkness was able to time travel Like a doctor.
‘Doctor Who’s Time Hotel’ isn’t the first time humanity has interfered with time travel
From the first moment the Doctor realizes what kind of hotel he’s stepped into, we can feel his amazement at it, almost as if he’s watching an adorable dog learn to skate. He obviously doesn’t respect technology on the same level as his own TARDIS, but he is impressed by the way humans have used it to give people a truly unique vacation, as does the way He is shown to practically ignore the hotel manager. Jonathan ArisPerhaps his almost comical attitude towards this revolutionary piece of technology, apart from the fact that he is literally thousands of years ahead of humanity, is that This is not the first time they have seen humanity exploring this piece of science,
In fact, when the Doctor last looked at how humans were getting along, they were in a very primitive state. They can only see the past, cannot transcend space and time, nor can they see the future. Therefore, it was simply referred to as the “time window”. It was created by the 21st century team, UNIT, with whom we saw Gatwa’s Doctor interacting. season 14 finale Far more productive than the fact they tried to ban the Unit from making time travel devices in the past am a doctor Era. Given that the Time Hotel exists in the 43rd century, it makes sense Humanity will be able to develop this technology to a great extent, now being able to go forward, backward as well as into space And, knowing itself, it is not surprising that it has gone on the capitalist path.

Time Hotel begins to explain how Jack Harkness can transcend time and space
Despite the fact that Captain Jack Harkness was undoubtedly one of The Doctor’s biggest fan-favourite companions, not only entertaining, but also helping bring some much-needed LGBTQ representation to the universe with him. Relationship with Ianto Jones (gareth david lloyd,His ability to move through time and space like the Doctor always felt like a plot hole. the way it was explained Vortex Manipulator, which Jack Harkness received as a Time Agent working for the Time Agency in the 51st centuryApproximately 800 years after “Joy to the World” is set. However, it still felt like an unexplained piece of lore. How did humanity begin to develop such technology until it fit on a person’s wrist, as the Harkness Vortex Manipulator does?
Well, Time Hotel started giving us answers. Apparently, humanity was able to extend this technology to the Time Hotel by more than 2 millennia, starting with the Time Window. At the end, Over 800 years, this technology was synthesized until it became the Vortex Manipulator and was used by the Time Agency.However, It does not solve the entire mystery of humanity’s relationship with time. This is because, if humanity had access to this level of technology for at least more than 800 years, it is very unlikely that Jack Harkness would be the only time-traveling human, and even less likely That all human beings will do so under altruistic intentions. ,
We’ll never get the full answer to Jack Harkness’s backstory
While this was a fascinating description, that’s all it currently is. We can speculate what this means for Harkness’s broader lore and origin, but it’s unlikely we’ll see the Captain return in the Disney-era. am a doctorThe reason for this is The complaints that were made about his inappropriate behaviorIncluding flashing people on set am a doctor and spin-offs, torchwoodtalking to sky News in 2021The actor did not deny these allegations, admitting that these were “stupid behaviors” that he would “never do” again. However, with Disney’s reputation for preferring actors with generally clean pasts to protect brand image, Time Hotel is the most likely time we’ll ever get a glimpse of Jack Harkness.
However, this does not make the time hotel any less attractive. It still sets up a lot of plot points that we might see later on, like who else has access to this technology and what they’ll do with it. Furthermore, it also shows how advanced the Doctor is, as he admires the progress of humans, yet Gatva plays this with so much comedy that we can tell he is compared to what the TARDIS can do. Not very impressed. Although we probably won’t see Harkness again Time Hotel at least gives us clues so we can start filling in some of the bigger plot points in his backstoryAnd that may be good enough for now.
