“[The Thirteenth Doctor’s] mere presence sends a shockwave that shatters not only the windows on the circular walls but also the entire glass ceiling above. This is obviously a metaphor meant to evoke the infamous ‘glass ceiling’ that plagues women in the workforce. Here, Whittaker’s Doctor shows that her arrival is a significant occasion, and certainly not one to be taken lightly. “Whoops,” The Doctor exclaims nonchalantly, surrounded by debris. She doesn’t feel a shred of remorse because, clearly, no one should have to feel sorry for shattering that glass ceiling. This is a bold new era for the series, and for television as a whole. As the promo directly states: It’s about time.”
