Why The TARDIS Was Groaning In Doctor Who
Sutekh was putting a lot of strain on the blue box
The unassailable theory to explain the TARDIS ' groaning is that it was directly related to being forced to channel around Sutekh as a rider . The classic earned run average villain is an incredibly powerful being , and it could n’t have been well-heeled for the TARDIS to carry such a deadly name through time and outer space . Like the Doctor , the TARDIS was in all probability incognizant that Sutekh was aboard , so although it probably fuck something was incorrect , it would n’t have known what it was or how to remediate the problem .
What ’s presently ill-defined is exactly how long Sutekh has been desegregate with the TARDIS systems . One possibility is that he has been there sinceTom Baker ’s Fourth Doctor entrap Sutekh in " Pyramids of Mars . “Four used a piece of the TARDIS to aid transport out his plan , so he could have unknowingly bound Sutekh to the TARDIS . Then , the medico ’s ship could have started to sense the strain as The One Who Waits start to stirin " Wild Blue Yonder . "
Alternatively , Sutekh may have been capable to latch onto the TARDIS when Fourteen and Donna were pressure to crash - demesne on a ship so tight to the edge of the universe . The laws of reality are different so far out , and so Sutekth may have been capable to reenter the creation and then stow aboard the TARDIS until he was quick to emerge . Either means , Sutekh ’s mien is more than likely the crusade of the TARDIS ' fatigue .
