We really should restrict starting threads for the next episode till at least the same day the episode airs if not after it like other shows.

Now in the original series, this was a BIG DEAL (c). Without it, as you say andy, no time travel is possible and it also provides the power for the tardis to travel, as well as being the thing that made it possible in the first place. Now I never thought the film got it right, unless the eye of harmony in the Tardis was simply a link to the actual thing itself, in which case I could understand it perfectly. The Tardis gets it's power from the eye, therefore the eye, the actual article you might say, must be intact. Which makes you wonder if Gallifrey itself has really been destroyed or not. |

Though hearing the theories put forward this afternoon does make you think whether it was destroyed in the first place...but surely then someone must have tampered with the Doctors mind to make him think it had been? *edit: I have always said that too emphasis has been made about the Doctor being the last Time Lord. He assumes that he is but how can he know for sure...not convinced by him tapping himself on the head and saying that he feels it. |

Oh - and he may have two hearts! (although I don't think, strictly speaking, he's a Timelord.) |

I don't know what it is, but there are people out there that seriously need to learn how to interact with other people. Thanks again to everyone on hear for making a very interesting read and discussion. See y'all MF ![]() Everybody's welcome to add to the discussion and it all adds to the fun. |

Then set a few parameters, turn on the cameras and off you go.

Well it's no big leap of the imagination to think that the same thing could be done with memories as well. (Sorry to go back to Babylon 5, but it happened in that too. Talia's memory (herself a telepath) had been superimposed with a 'false personality' - it was done so well that even she didn't know, and other telepaths could scan her and would find nothing wrong. The only way it was revealed was when a signal was sent and then the 'other personality' came crashing through.) Incidentally, I wouldn't be surprised to see that something like this had happened to Captain Jack,

There's been plenty of other 'nods' to B5 - the Shadow Proclamation in episode one, the idea of a story arc itself (which was pivotal to the programme) etc. |

I can't see at this stage getting into a series finale involving the Matrix on Gallifrey and the like because the exposition needed alone would slow things to a crawl...I'm coming round to the opinion that every thing we need to piece together what will happen has been shown at some stage this series with maybe a few surprises for the fans thrown in...
