Liked it, but I think Tarlos' history and why the Doctor's memory is blocked should have paid off. Are they teasing a Second Doctor run after the War Games or...? I think they announced a while back that they were planning on doing Series 6B stories for the Second Doctor. That’s all we know at this point in time.

I think they announced a while back that they were planning on doing Series 6B stories for the Second Doctor. That’s all we know at this point in time. Did they say something so specific? Last I heard, there were on,y vague allusions to "big things" in store for the future. If they do wind up a season 6B, I'd be doubly excited--especially considering that it would necessitate new companions, which is always fun. But... and believe me, I am loathe to bring this up considering what a haven this community has been relative to the maelstrom of nonsense afflicting the greater Who fandom right now... BUT if Big Finish does make their own season 6B, I'd be very curious whether or not they've spoken with Chris Chibnall at all, as the Timeless Child revelations are still very much an on-going mystery, and could potentially tie-in to that particular era. It would be a shame for Big Finish to unleash their own season 6B if the TV series is going to likewise explore that "lost" period of the Doctor's life. .... Anyway, after listening to Omega I did some digging on the Wiki, where I noticed that when the Doctor's exile on Earth ended in The Three Doctors, the Time Lords "restored" certain memories that they had erased. Is the assumption that these memories were limited to the technical operation of the TARDIS, or did they extend to events prior to his exile? So, basically, does the season 6B theory hold that memories of these events were restored at that time, or that they remained "erased" in perpetuity?

I (being human and seeing patterns in things that aren’t there) thought it was a cheeky Timeless Doctor reference.

Honestly if big finish are smart they will avoid anything to do with the timeless children it’s not something that has gone down well with the fan base

It certsinly hasn’t gone over well with the people who tend to be readily dismissive of anything Whittaker related.

People make these sweeping statements about "the fanbase" without any evidence or clear definition of who/what the fanbase is. As far as I can tell it appears to be a handful of angry people on social media.

Well, I thought this was rather fab. A good, old fashioned base-under-siege with a layer of something quite intrguing on top! My take is up at CultBox

Well, just to open up another bracket of the divided fan base... I am not a fan of the Timeless Child thing, either. Just do not like it. And I am NOT having any issues with Chibs or Whittaker.
So yeah, people like that exist, too.

However, if anyone could make it interesting then Big Finish on a good day are well capable of doing so.

As far as I can tell it appears to be a handful of angry people on social media. I enjoyed Jodie's second season hugely, every single story (yes including 'Orphan 55'...) until the Timeless Child stuff (and nonsense) didn't go down well with me. At all. I loathed it! Rubbish end to a great season.
So it isn't only the people 'readily dismissive of anything Whittaker related'. I hope BF leave it all somewhere timeless and forgotten, along with the Hybrid and Clara's flying diner.

Personally i think it would be better to wait till theres more of a consensus on it in the main show. I.e what happens in the 14th doctors era and beyond. For example, a much smaller example is the doctor being half human. Somthing that over the years just hasn’t stuck or been touched upon. If the Timeless Children turns out like that in 3-5 years time then yeah probs no reason to explore it. If it becomes as much a part of the show as the doctor regenerating or the the time war then yeah, of course. Explore it. I wouldn’t rush into it tho the minute that they get access to Whitakers era as it might end up feeling dayed quickly if the show retcons or ignores it.

I don't think it's an idea I'd be interested in, but BF don't tend to leave things timeless and forgotten!

They must not be bought!
But on the whole, the odd corners BF look into often turn up some unexpected treats.

At first I thought it was an incarnation of the Timeless Child who was involved. But after listening to The Black Hole yesterday, I certainly wouldn't rule out the likelihood of the Second Doctor meeting Tarlos, before having his memory wiped.
To be very honest, however, I've been finding it hard to understand Season 6B for many years, due to the inconsistencies with the concept overall. So I do hope that Big Finish will do a separate range for the Season 6B era, whatever they've got planned ahead.
