History YMMV / DoctorWhoS39E6FluxChapterSixTheVanquishers

* AngstWhatAngst: There were a fair few fans and critics that were puzzled that the destruction of most of the life in the universe was never mourned by the other characters after the Flux is stopped. The sheer scale of destruction and death that occurred was noted by fans to be something that the other characters weirdly don't seem to show any emotion over or even acknowledge the amount of death that has just occurred, especially since it isn't reversed. For reference, when one quarter of the universe was ''accidently'' destroyed by the Master in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E7Logopolis Logopolis]]", which was already noted for its own missing angst, it was met with more emotion and consequences for the characters than what happened with the Flux.
** Averted with the ''Fourteenth'' Doctor, who would express guilt about this in the 60th anniversary specials two years later.

* CommonKnowledge: The abrupt ending and lack of any reflection on the destruction of much of the universe has resulted in a widespread misconception that Swarm and Azure reverse the destruction that has taken place thus far so that they can set up a GroundhogDayLoop with the Doctor ForcedToWatch as the universe gets destroyed over and over again. However, Azure only mentions putting the Doctor in a loop for the ''final'' Flux event -- in other words, eliminating what little remains of the universe -- with there being no mention of their reversing the existing destruction, or even that they have the ability to do this. "Wild Blue Yonder", the second of the 60th anniversary specials, definitively confirmed that the destruction was not reversed and that the Fourteenth Doctor, at least, feels guilt over it.

* {{Narm}}: Karnavasti gives a howl of anguish on learning all the Lupari are dead. It doesn't necessarily work.

For one, the Doctor seems more concerned with mending fences with Yaz, as well as putting her past on the metaphorical shelf (for now) on their way to their next adventure. Notably, none of the 2022 specials acknowledged this either.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: When Time tells the Doctor, "No regeneration. No life," does it mean, "If you don't regenerate, you can't go on living" like with the previous Doctor? Or does it mean, "There will be no more regenerations and thus no more life"? [[IncrediblyLamePun Only Time will tell]].

* SpecialEffectFailure: The shots of Cybermen and Daleks arriving to make a deal with the Sontarans are clearly archival footage from ''Ascension of the Cybermen/The Timeless Children'' and ''Revolution of the Daleks''.

* UnfortunateImplications: Sontarans apparently get drunk from chocolate candy. The Doctor finds a Sontaran who is the obvious equivalent to an alcoholic on a binge, and then offers him more of what he's addicted to to get him to do what they want. Necessary under the circumstances, but still a crappy thing to do to an alcoholic/addict.

* AngstWhatAngst: There were a fair few fans that were puzzled that '''the destruction of most of the life in the universe''' didn't seem to bother any of the surviving characters, least of all the Doctor, who seems more concerned with mending fences with Yaz, as well as putting her past on the metaphorical shelf (for now) on their way to their next adventure. This idea is a ''tad'' misleading, as throughout the previous five episodes, all the prominent characters talk about the Flux destroying the universe and its denizens, so mentioning it here in the final episode seems like a moot point when there's nothing they can do about it.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Fans hoping for another appearance from Creator/JoMartin's Fugitive Doctor will no doubt be disappointed. Not to mention that we could have gotten glimpses of any number of previously unseen Doctors. Instead, all we get is some indistinct whispering. Still, the episode does leave open the possibility of the Doctor retrieving her lost memories if she really wants to.
