Yesterday I relistened the Doctor Who Big Finish adventure The Acheron Pulse
and today it is striking me as actually very weird
the way Doctor Who mixes stuff we would usually call magic with an ending where the Doctor just figures it out like it's fine
but like
in a still magic things happened way?

There's a weapon that blasts people's souls into the undervoid
and leaves their bodies all empty and near impossible to kill
but
this is not undeath
this is just Doctor Who
so at the end the Doctor pops in to the undervoid
and picks up someone who got left behind there.

I mean referring to it as they also did as
distilling their psyche out of their body
and throwing it into purgatory
doesn't exactly help
the theological situation.

But it's Doctor Who so it's fine!
The Doctor can just take the TARDIS to purgatory.

As you do.

I realise the only true things in Doctor Who are what make the story work
and this is far from the only time there is a weird dimension
but like
*blinks a lot*



This and the canonical existence of Hell in audio Torchwood, as well as the Shadow, which is technically distinct from Hell but will also torture you to death...
there's just a lot going on in the Whoniverse.
