THE TARDIS IS DYING! Here’s why… [DOCTOR WHO: ‘Legend of Ruby Sunday’ HUGE SUSAN TRIAD THEORY!]

[@doritofan1002]

I actually am more interested in Mrs.Flood! She’s in both parts of the two parter, she has multiple 4th wall breaks, the perception filter doesn’t work on her, and she knows What a tardis is! I also believe they semi confirm that she has some knowledge of the doctors actions on the present. In the church on Ruby road episode after seeing the tardis disappear, she sets up a lawn chair.. and her flask.. and waits for him to return. When he does she says “you’ve been a busy man” or something to that effect but from her perspective she wouldn’t normally know he had done anything other than move the tardis across the street.

[@lbernau]

I think Mrs. Flood is River Song. And I have absolutely nothing to back it up with, other than her name: Melody Pond, River Song.....Mrs. Flood. And that she seems to know what a Tardis is.

[@AngelicusImmortus]

The Rani??

[@martins3776]

Another take, I've been thinking it's time flips as to why she does/does not recognize the TARDIS (if this isn't just pretending not to) but what if it's curiosity/ being nosey, she thinks it odd thus investigates then finds out. Perhaps that leads to a meeting with the Susan of Triad technologies and maybe taking the use of the TARDIS tech down some sinister path.... I also previously noted that the boostrap paradox/ 'who wrote Beethoven's Fifth'/ Doctor playing the theme tune happens in 'Before The FLOOD' - two fourth wall breaks echoed by those this series (Doctor's 'there's always a twist at the end'/Mrs Flood's 'never seen a TARDIS?') and Maestro playing the theme tune plus TV with The Giggle's laugh broadcast and as referenced in Rogue, Beethoven not existing, The Beatles losing their music etc, all feels kinda important, clever throwbacks either way, could the relevance be that to me this series seems a bit bootstrap paradoxy at times....

You're right and this flask make me thing that it could be another character: Iris Whildthyme who can travel within the metaverse. She used to live in Camden on earth, we have seen that the giggle chaos scene is taking place in Camden, plus Iris love to drink: Gin&Tonic! Why would the doctor mention being from the "Gin Tonic Division" to Ruby? Is this a joke or a reference to Iris Whildthyme... Lastly her Tardis is a London Bus and we have seen a lot of London buses, she also somehow is not completely a Timelord but also a god, can she be part of the Pantheon? Iris keep telling the doctor that they already met several time or been there at the same time but the doctor never remembers her. Iris also dropped once some Gin Tonic onto the time vortex once and almost destroyed it.

[@SephStuff]

The synopsis for the Episode refers to a Time Window - my guess is that UNIT have been able to use Triad tech to create a way of seeing through time, not travelling through it

[@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123]

Iirc, in the Madame De Pompadour, the technology the Clockwork Droids to travel to France is also called a Time Window.

[@lilpain8883]

Or a gateway that only lasts for a period of time before the window closes.

[@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123]

Yeah after looking it up they were called Time Windows. Although that episode wasn't the only appearance of them, a 4th Doctor story titled Lost in Time had a character called The Shopkeeper who could also open them up, at least according to the Doctor Who wiki

[@Dillypickle541]

Suketh Russell said something about loving the pyramid of Mars

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

Here's my theory: -Susan Triad is the leader of Triad Technologies that has been hinted since the Christmas special (we know this for sure and it was shown on the side of a bus in that episode that it's very much a technology company that is big in London) -Triad = three or potentially three people, three Osirans/gods, Isis, Osiris and Nephthys or Set/Suetekh, the children of Geb and Nut in Egyptian mythology. This would make Suetekh the great grandchild of the sun god Ra. -Triad also refers to the three points of a triangle or even a PYRAMID -The company seems to work with UNIT and provide 'technological solutions' - Solutions to what? Time anomalies? -Susan Twist + Triad Technologies = Sue Tech (Sutekh), the trailer seems to suggest some kind of evil will be her or take over her -Pyramids at the back (Pyramids of Mars, Egyptians, Osirans?) of the same image that suggests she will be some sort of horned evil, desert environment -Shot from the trailer of a massive dust storm or dust cloud engulfing a street in London, likely destroying everything is akin to what Sutekh said _"Where I tread, I leave nothing but DUST and darkness."_ in Pyramids of Mars -I dont think Susan Twist is 100% innocent. I believe the clip of her in the white business-suit is her giving a conference, in the same shot as Mel warning the Doctor with the humanoid figure in white at the back. Perhaps this is one of Suetekh's MUMMIES? Anyway, it feels like Susan is acting. -The whole idea though of Suetekh is that he is an alien with powerful technology. He can also channel energy into his servants and 'posses' them, so Susan does not need to be Suetekh to have his powers. -S Triad as seen in the trailer is also an anagram of TARDIS. The TARDIS has apparently been acting up this season. Strange things have been happening though since the Giggle, at least when tea was spilt onto the TARDIS or when the Toymaker spelt out that 'the One who Waits' was the only one to scare him. -Suetekh was last seen trapped in a time corridor. -The TARDIS is the only thing that could potentially 'save' him. With the introduction of the Memory TARDIS from the specials and a phased out shot of the Doctor screaming inside of it, it's possible he will try and use the Memory TARDIS through a servant to break free if that's what it does and indeed contains memories of old adversaries. -Fun fact: Suetekh's time travelling Sarcophagus (through a time tunnel) is made out of or is something called a 'Lodestone'. This is what allows it to have time-breaking powers, since according to TARDIS wiki, in Turn Left (written by RTD), Rose Tyler apparently created a time machine called a 'Lodestone' using the surface technology of the Doctor's TARDIS. Donna Noble went back in time with it and it didnt age her, so maybe Susan Triad also used this kind of technology or she captured a TARDIS or the Doctor's TARDIS which created time anomalies? -What happened to the Sarcophagus in Torchwood in season 2 in Army of Ghosts? Who obtained it afterwards? -Suetekh is associated with destruction, with his offspring in Egyptian mythology, especially Anubis, associated with death. The second part of this story is called 'Empire of Death'. -Obviously this will have to tie all in to Ruby Sunday and her origins, as they are explored at the start of the episode, likely what causes the Doctor to go back to the present to London 2024. -The alien robot that was not affected by the Giggle in last year's specials, the Vlinx, might come back into it and be revealed to be Osirian technology or an Osiran himself. Either that or he will play a role similar to Mr Smith from SJA in the UNIT Spinoff. -Flood might be involved for better or worse. I theorise she is Ruby's mother and works for Triad or is actually a hero. Maybe she is an Osiran in disguise? -There's also what you said about the TARDIS's noise.

This is a great compilation of notes on it. Thanks for sharing.

[@BigEvil02]

I don't believe they were pyramids in that picture, looked to me like mountains. There's another celestial body in the right corner (could be a moon of some sort) I think it looks more like Gallifrey than mars. What sarcophagus in Army of Ghosts? Do you mean the void ship the Daleks came out of?

Definitely could have used a meme of MatPat saying “but that’s just a theory.. a who theory”

[@kaseyarmstrong9371]

I think the title sequence proves we’re in another timeline now where the rules of the show have changed. Normally the TARDIS used to leave one part of the time vortex before entering another part of the same vortex. In the new sequence, it shoots through the vortex into another.

[@Benlovescheese]

@KoobanHooves1yeah the theme tunes always had weird issues with syncing and stuff and it’s never been consistent with how the tardis enters and leaves these days.

[@kaseyarmstrong9371]

@KoobanHooves1 yes the change in the vortex has always been a factor, BUT the TARDIS actually breaks through the vortex in this title sequence before appearing to enter another. The break through being the key part. And RTD has said there is something about the vortex in this season title sequence also highlighting the sparks around the base of the TARDIS.

[@brewster_4]

You’re reading way too much into this

[@caneighdianjake8439]

​@KoobanHooves1I always assumed it was one vortex and the blue/red colouring related to a kind of temporal doppler effect. The Tardis just changed from moving one direction in time to the other, thus the colour shift.

[@robo3007]

I think Susan Triad is trapped inside the fob watch that was dropped into the Tardis at the end of Flux. This would explain how she could be getting exposed to the Tardis' time warp field and split up across multiple places at once, and causing paradoxes that are making the Tardis sick.

[@TimothyCollins]

S Triad being an anagram for TARDIS makes sense - RTD does like his anagrams. Torchwood for example. That said, as cool as Sutek would be I doubt it is that character. If I had to put my money on anything... Omega. He'd fit into the pattern here. After all, it was spreading salt outside the universe that allowed so many extra-universal characters to get in. And Omega not only knows quite a bit about TARDIS tech, he also has been pretty much outside the universe with them for awhile. Or at least he's been sort of outside the universe - I forget what happened to him last time he showed up... It's been awhile since I saw that serial.

[@BigEvil02]

Well he was essentially stuck in his antimatter universe but time has passed and I'm sure he'd find a way back now especially due to the Toymakers meddling.

Rather than TARDIS technology, maybe she’s created *memory* TARDIS technology, allowing people to into realise dreams and desires. We’ve still got the hanging reference about UNIT dealing with the supernatural. I wonder if hooking into memories or dreams (dreams of the third Doctor’s encounter with Sutekh implanted into Susan Triad) allows Sutekh to escape and come back.

[@neilhawkins9017]

Except the Third Doctor didn't have an encounter with Sutekh, that was the Fourth Doctor. Omega is a better shout as he encountered the 3rd and 5th Doctors and was the timelord that gave them time travel tech. However i do think that Sutekh is going to be in the mix too. Who said that the Boss and the One Who Waits have to be the same person. What if the Boss is Omega and the One Who Waits is Sutekh. As for Susan twist the memory TARDIS theory sounds good, but who's to say that she hasn't already made an actual TARDIS and lived here there and everywhere in time already before settling on an era of time that the tech would be most beneficial to her plans.

Or: "you thought The Boss/TOWW were the same person, nope!". But I don't think they have time to that much in two episodes. Triad tech could just be a nod to pyramids if Sutekh is involved.

I'm totally with you on this theory but what I'm having trouble with is reconciling it with 'tv show within a tv show' angle and Ruby's snow memory powers / her seemingly influencing reality / the fourth wall breaks etc... I was initially pretty sure that they were in some sort of unreality but I don't see how that jives with Sutekh or Susan Triad. Unless Susan's new technology isn't time travel but the dimensional tech. Maybe somehow, the universe has been trapped inside TARDIS somehow due to a faulty experiment and that could explain the unreality of this season. Or a memory tardis? which would explain how Ruby keeps conjuring the snow like a memory come to life. I could totally see Susan Triad trying to sell Memory Tardis Experiences for consumers to relive their favorite memories or retrieve forgotten ones. Maybe she used a prototype and it scattered her across time unbeknownst to her. A memory tardis could probably insert false memories into LIndy Pepper Bean and the Duchess to make it seem like she's always been there,

[@BigEvil02]

I see where you're going with that... But don't over think it. The Doctor is on a secret mission for U.N.I.T. Ruby Sunday finds out about her past. There is a god coming. Treat them as 3 different plot points instead of one then try and link them together. As for the unreality, there's matter and antimatter, one can't exist with the other.... Omega can literally will things into existence in the antimatter universe AND in the normal universe so who's to say he isn't influencing Ruby and making it snow etc. Omega wanted to destroy everything, turn it all to dust.

@@BigEvil02 I was very much on the Omega theory bandwagon for most of this season but I’ve been convinced by the Sutekh theorists. If they are all separate mysteries that don’t intersect, it feels like a lot. There still the matter of Mrs Flood too. A lot of theories seem to forget about her. We do see the Doctor in the Memory Tardis in the finale trailer. And Ncuti and Millie will appear in a Tales of the Tardis episode the day before the finale. So it feels credible to me. And Tom Baker is the only Doctor to not appear in Tales of the Tardis yet, which is what has convinced me that it will be Pyramids of Mars, priming fans for Sutekh’s return.

He didn't need any salt spread at the end of the Universe to invite him in. Why would the Toymaker be concerned about him? Or is the Boss still someone/something else? (Oh, and Richard E.

[@pjbrown7520]

Central to the Third Doctor story The Time Monster was a device known as TOMTIT - Transmission of Matter Through Interstitial Time. It was meant to function like a transmat or teleporter, using the space between moments as a tunnel between one place and another. Messing around with time, however, caused all manner of problems (including turning Benton into a baby) and the Master was able to use it to pluck people out of time and bring them to the present. It's possible Susan Triad has been trying to get it to work and accidentally fractured herself (Clara, Scaroth) while summoning... something else. In The Time Monster, it was the Chronovore Kronos. This time, who knows? The Tardis would recognise something similar and could be trying to warn the Doctor... or, it might have accidentally let something in when it went haywire in Wild Blue Yonder.

Nerdantic comment: Pertwee's Doctor was Scientific Adviser to UNIT in the 1980s... the episodes aired in the 1970s but they were set in the 1980s at least originally but things got muddled in continuity.

I wonder if the Vlinx will be Triad Technology equipment with fake memory’s etc implanted. If the Vlinx runs on TRIAD then as you alluded to that could shut down the whole of UNIT. I remember RTD stating that UNIT using TRIAD was a thing to keep in mind!

[@WayneJones-l5q]

if she is building a tardis it would make more sense using omega, he would know how to shove a super nova into it to power the thing, short of that it would just be a pile up buttons and knobs

[@LesleyTurner-ue7ol]

Dr Who comments. Questions, comments and speculation about the season so far before we get to the finale: 1. Is any of this season actually real? 2. Are we in an alternate reality and have we been there ever since Jodie Whittaker said, "Tag, you're it."? As if we were already playing a game? 3. In Star Beast, Rose Noble was making toys and The Meep referred to the Boss, so something was already going on. 4. In Wild Blue Yonder, why wasn't Isaac Newton white? 5. In Wild Blue Yonder, why couldn't the Dr sense something had happened to the time stream or reality when Gravity became Mavity? 6. In Wild Blue Yonder, where did the TARDIS go and what did it do (or not do) when it got there? 7. In Wild Blue Yonder, why was the TARDIS blaring out the song? A warning, perhaps? 8. In Wild Blue Yonder, invoking superstition and using salt to do it at the edge of the universe is now a thing. It's nonsensical, but it happened and that is clearly the point. 9. How did the 14th Dr end up with the 10th Dr's face? Was the regeneration hijacked in some way? 10. In The Giggle, the 15th Dr says bi-generation is a myth and yet it happened. Myths are now becoming real. 11. In The Giggle, how did the TARDIS really duplicate (bi-generate?) and why? 12. In The Giggle, what was Mel's non-answer about what a zingo was and the non-explanation of The Vlinx all about? Is this world even real? 13. In Space Babies (I think) why did the gravity in the TARDIS shut off for a few seconds when it launched into the vortex? 14. Why aren't we seeing the Dr and Ruby actually arrive at and then subsequently leave in the TARDIS? It's as if they are just appearing/disappearing from places. Is all the action this season going on in the Dr's head and the TARDIS is tagged on as a playing piece that should be in the story, so the Dr's memory includes it? 15. In The Church on Ruby Road, the entity that leaves baby Ruby at the church door is not a woman. 16. Ruby clearly isn't human, or is not entirely human, so what is she? Does the Dr know? Why is he scanning her otherwise? 17. Could we be about to find out who the Dr's people really are? And that Ruby is one also? And that she is related to him? 18. In Boom, how did the ambulance recognise Ruby? 19. In The Church on Ruby Road, how did the Dr pull the goblin ship out of the sky? No, really? 20. Who is the One Who Waits? 21. Who is Mrs Flood? 22. Who is the Susan Twist character(s)? 23. In 73 Yards, the people in the pub were like a Greek chorus: they were play acting. 24. In Rogue, the Chuldur were play acting (cosplaying). 25. Rogue named himself after a character in Dungeons & Dragons: more play acting/role playing. And who is his new boss? 26. Why do we keep getting weird jumps in time? 27. In 73 Yards, where did the Dr actually disappear to? And how? Is magic now actually real? 28. In 73 Yards, if the Dr can sense time stream changes, why couldn't he sense something major had happened to the time stream? 29. In 73 Yards, how come the weird woman could suddenly appear at the end of dying Ruby's bed - a lot closer than 73 yards? 30. Is even the fact that this season is being referred to as Season 1, suggest we're in an alternate reality? 31. In 73 Yards, how did Ruby find out about UNIT and why was Kate acting so strangely even before the weird woman said what she said? 32. In 73 Yards, what was the weird woman saying to everyone to make them run away and what did the hand signals mean? 33. In Boom, since when does killing the Dr result in the destruction of half a planet? 34. The scenario in Boom is ridiculous - how on earth could these soldiers not realise they weren't fighting anyone? It's like war games gone wrong. Games again. 35. Why does Ruby keep almost dying/getting killed? And why does the Dr keep crying? 36. Are we in an alternate reality - one that's becoming more and more unstable - and that's why everything and everyone in this season is off-kilter?

[@wiltaylor]

OOOh some good stuff here. I hope you're right. I'd love to see sean play his dad.

[@josephlepkowski2383]

I dont think its Sutek maybe Omega. I also dont think Susan twist is the Tardis. Between her and ms flood one needs to be Susan Foreman especially after the mention in Devils Cord. She could be the one who waits more so then Sutek if it's not Omega (3rd dr connection teased?). Remember the 1st doctors response one day ill cone back.(not counting 5 doctors). Maybe Ruby is her Daughter.

[@Elsinlock]

this gives me flashbacks to the fake leak about series 13 being about the TARDIS dying and the series arc being the doctor trying to fix her.

[@bennettnez4711]

That would have been awesome for the tinkerer 13th doctor to deal with, dang.

[@IainSmith-cn3de]

Omg I think your theory could be spot on Everything you say looks as if it could work

[@rudyclarkejohnson4625]

There is also a scene from the trailer for the series where the doctor is wearing an robe outfit which could be another scene where the doctor might be time travelling to the egyptian times which could be in the next episode or the finale!

[@MastarNinja]

Could it just be the precursor to Jack's Vortex Manipulator? Like, Susan Triad could have used her knowledge of the TARDIS to make her own version of it like this theory says, things goes bad because the TARDIS is sentient and not just machinery, pieces of it remains and eventually become part of Rogue's ship. Eventually, the founders of the Time Agency found his ship, and after some reverse engineering, found a way to make it portable and that's how we would get Vortex Manipulator.

[@autumnmatthews3179]

I’m wondering if the link to Jon Pertwee could be the mad computer BOSS from The Green Death

[@TheConfusedAdipose]

That’s a good shout!

[@AFCManUk]

Maybe Susan Triad built The Vlinx using bits of old TARDIS, and it's HIM that's been causing all the problems. And we know that he hasn't yet got to his Final Form...

[@golden_gloo]

Commercial time travel and the monk (or should I say the nun) go hand in hand if you've listened to Dalek Universe. I doubt RTD would be pulling this heavily from recent Big Finish but it's a coincidence.

[@dockaos66]

Perhaps she couldn’t build an actual sentient Type 40. But then again, were the original Type 1s senient and were they dimensionally transcendental? Or she might be taking a shortcut with something like Zigma Beam technology (Talons of Weng Chiang) that opens a door to the “realm of the gods/eternals/gardians/etc) due to its unstable nature. Either way, while I’d love to see Sutekh return (with Gabriel Woolf as the voice actor), the 3rd Doctor reference has me thinking Daemons, Kronos or Omega.

[@kaihansen34]

Why is the episode titled Legend of Ruby Sunday though??

[@kerarri158]

is season 2 / series 15 gonna be like that time the 3rd doctor gets stucked on earth. of the tardis gets effed up.

[@peterhenderson6851]

Susan Triad could have an influence or possibly Sutekh on the Tardis

[@JohnnyOrgan]

[@SteveODonnell]

I cant remember for certain but im sure a while ago Russell said this season would reveal why the memory TARDIS exists and where it came from.

[@paigemitchell-snudden711]

I am convinced that vhs is from the third doctor's era, but maybe it isn't susan triad but mrs flood. Russle said all of Ruby's answers will not be answered this season so I still think Mrs Flood is Ruby's mum

[@andygozzo72]

@@Mark-nh2hs maybe not a vhs tape but an earlier one, philips 'vcr' format, used in the n1500 and n1700 machines, that was released in the early 70s

[@nleseul]

What kind of makes me hesitant is that, whatever Triad's product is, it's something that Donna is seemingly familiar with, in her role as a fairly normal secretary (i.e., not some top-secret research project in development which only UNIT has access to). For Triad to go from developing word processors or whatever to developing time travel seems like a pretty big jump. Not impossible, but a bit of a stretch.

[@rubysultra]

The Tardis is alive and that could complicate using it just for parts.

[@jmcdonald.1998]

I don’t think Susan Triad is anything to do with it. At this point, everybody and their mum knows how much Doctor Who and RTD especially loves an anagram. So why would they do the MOST obvious anagram this late in the game, unless they wanted it to be misdirection. I think Susan Triad is just misdirection in the episode.

[@willhamidi1618]

I think the evil figure seen in the trailer is the Borg's queen using Susan Twist. The noise that the Tardis makes reminds me of the Borg's one. The Borgs may be part of the Toymaker's legion. Let think about it: this noise, Star Trek references in Space Babies, Susan Twist and the crew wearing a similar costume in this episode, the shocking answer to Ruby from the Doctor: "we should visit them sometime", this line confirms that Star Trek exists in this universe, if this is the case why all the vilains from Star Trek would not exist too?! The Tardis is said to have an indigestion, what if he is not digesting the fob watch thrown into the Tardis by the 13th and caused some issues when the Tardis has been duplicated? What happened to this watch, not to mention that it could be how the timeless child arc connects as RTD claimed to be spine of the show. I do not believe that it will connect via Ruby's character but with either a character or the fob watch causing the Tardis reaction and triggering some events being spine of the show's big finale...

[@timothystout4259]

[@stiofanmacamhalghaidhau765]

@TheConfusedAdipose go back and look at the role and significantly the departure of Liz Shaw during the 3rd Doctor's time. She was working as an 'assistent' to the doctor, then up and left to return to Cambridge Uni out of the blue with a vague 'I'm wasted here' kind of excuse. We don't even see her leave, she just goes. We hear nothing more of her. Susan Triad is presented at around the kind of age a daughter or long-time research assistent to Liz would be today. There's also the alternate universe totalitarian Liz from /Inferno/ to consider. Two options for returns of characters from 3rd Doctor times... and also Kronos 'a creature from outside time and space' - I'd be chuffed to have either a Liz-connected character or Kronos back tbh.

I like ALL this. What still intrigues me is if it's all about Susan Twist's character(s), the Triad tech, littering herself across the timeline etc - why "The Legend of Ruby Sunday"? Where does Ruby come into it all?

[@rethonn]

Did they ever explain how the silence had a sort of Tardis in day of the moon? The controls had a neo-egyptain look if I remember correctly

[@markcolgan3262]

5:25 is that how the doctor disappeared in 73 yards lol however I like the idea of her make shift time travel causing her to be scattered and we what we have seen of her is actual in future linear and we will see it go wrong in the finale and her scattered but then that would be similar to Clara turning up before she was scattered

[@markc8956]

The phrase "clutching at straws" springs to mind . RTD as we all know doesn't make it THIS obvious.

[@LoverOfBellies]

It doesn't explain why she's been in every episode under different names & identities: she is not the same character every time like Jenna Coleman at the start before she became Clara

[@DanBen07]

The Reddit Theory was that the doctor was stuck in a TV show and didn't know. And she was an extra and she just kept appearing as different characters. Now because of the new trailer she might just be an older lady goes to sleep and in her dreams is appearing in the same places as the doctor goes to where she is different people dreams can be weird.

[@Phantom-hy2ix]

That robot from the 60th does look like Sue Tech 😅.

[@liamprayner214]

It's also an anagram of Astrid... Kylie coming back

[@johnphamlore8073]

Here's my unbelievable left-field speculation: Ruby is an agent sent by the Time Lords of the Inferno universe to either neutralize or repatriate the Inferno Doctor. She had to have her identity hidden from even herself due to the Time War(s). Each episode of the current series is tuning Ruby Sunday on who her target is and finally who she is. Her target is someone who has stunted development who is a fascist and who has a horrible plan that could light at least the Earth in flames. In other words, the Inferno Doctor. She has a role similar to that a bounty hunter, target, the Inferno Doctor. And she's been hanging around this universe's Doctor to tune her to look for the Inferno Doctor. The Inferno Doctor's only emotional weakness is for the last person with whom he had any connection, his version of Susan Foreman. He's trying to reactivate his knowledge of how Tardis technology works, perhaps experimenting on his Tardis, who may have been fractured in time or otherwise become somewhat sentient.
