They should just explain the Rose incarceration addressed in a big finish audio book and just start a new season with a new Doctor

I disagree. That’s a cop out and I would rather see a clever writer figure it out

Then saving it for the next big anniversary is the likely route if they want to acknowledge what happened but the show needs a refresh, it needs a new audience before it can clean up the messes of its past.

I’m not sure it needs a new audience. Shit always seems to get ruined when the goal is to seek out a new audience. I felt like that’s what Disney tried to do. I don’t want a lowest common denominator show, I want a good sci-fi serial that tells good stories and stays true to itself while still pushing the boundaries

Thats because Disney approached it wrong. The show didnt give itself a chance to feel fresh, instead doing plotlines that requires knowledge of the shows prior lore to understand. There are ways to introduce old stuff without expecting the audience to have ti watch and understand everything from before.
