Was the Time War the only way to bring the show back or could there have been another way?

Of course it could have been brought back in many ways. I believe RTD used the storyline as an excuse to bring an understandably darker tone, and lonely feeling to the Doctor.
It was also a way to remove the complication of dealing with the other Time Lords, and give the Doctor a purpose for his travelling and seeking companions.
It brought a sense of mystery to the show, so new viewers would want to learn more about the Doctor.
As well as ensuring there isn't a higher authority that could fix things better than the Doctor.
It's possible to combine that with an arc and be excellent
Classic who did without it devolving into a stupid soap type series
Doctor Who is about change. It's always changing and evolving. It can't remain the same forever. I don't understand this mentality of being annoyed that the show isn't exactly the same as it was in the 70's. If you don't like change, Doctor Who isn't the show for you!
I can never see character development being a bad thing. Doctor Who does relationships and interaction so beautifully well. It's almost second to the sci-fi element. Look at Buffy, what it did so well was that it took the fantasy element and made it relatable. I feel that is what Doctor Who has done since it's revival. I don't understand why that enrages people so much. It's the best thing about it.
That's why the regenerating was created
But I simply don't like or enjoy it since RTD bought it back
I used to look forwards to it and the books but I dont
And what's the point of it being Scifi when the soap opera crap is being bought to the foreground more?
The show would have been axed immediately if you had your way.
Those "stupid soap" elements are part and parcel of pretty much all modern dramas.
I don't think you understood my point at all.
There are plenty of people that liked the classic series but don't like the revival. Instead of coming on here to complain, turn the channel over. Because coming on a Doctor Who forum stating you hate the last 9 years of who as a whole is just really irritating. Stop watching it.
Sci-fi without the human angle is dry as dust.
I like posting about classic plus the novels
I am curious whether others like it
Plus I stopped watching apart from this one as it was where it all began with Ian and Barbara
This soap stuff is being too focussed on to the detriment of the series
That's all well and good. But if you know there are elements of the new series you don't like why are you continuing to complain about them? It's like knowing you don't like pepperoni pizza, buying a pepperoni pizza, and then being annoyed there was pepperoni on it.
Buying pepperoni whilst not getting IT would be accurate
Is it? How?
Finding out that your girlfriend has been hiding a second life as a time traveller and lying about it to your face - I don't remember that being done on Eastenders yet?
No it wouldn't. Because you know you don't like it. You're expecting it to be something it isn't anymore.
They're doing that for Christmas. Phil hid a secret wormhole in The Vic.
Only a matter of time. Maybe Karl Howman's character will turn out to be a regenerated Drax going into hiding after a dodgy deal? Got the accent.
No, that's silly. Eastenders is fictional in the Whoniverse, isn't it. ("gerrahtofmypub!")
Phil revealed to be half Sontaran.
