It would be nice if the secret the Face of Boe had to share was the survival of the Time Lords, but if it isn't I'd like to see them come back another way, e.g. trapped in E-Space at the end of the Time War perhaps? That's what I'm hoping happened. Or something similar. If not, then have the Doctor find out he wasn't the only survivor. There are 3 episodes (one I have yet to see) where there are surviving Daleks. ("Dalek", "Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways", and "Army of Ghosts/Doomsday") The fact that so many bad guys survived and only one good guy is soooo wrong! This is off the subject, but can anyone tell me how to add a picture? More bad guys than good? Well that shows you life isn't fair, and I learnt that the hard way. By the way to add a picture you type in: [img]Url of image Here[/img] Helpful?

Don't really like the ones available and I don't understand how to use my own picture.

[/quote] Have the Doctor find out he wasn't the only survivor. The fact that so many bad guys survived and only one good guy is soooo wrong![/quote] I want to add something to this. I think that having the only other survivor(s) be the Master and/or the Rani would be even worse!

I think if the writers did bring back the time lords, how would they react to the doctor. lets face it, he killed them all. Wait a minute. We've only been hearing one side of the story and even then not much. Maybe the Times Lords said something like, "Destroy the Daleks whatever the cost!" Keep watching, maybe we'll find out.

New Series concepts I guess. We don't (really) have UNIT, we have Torchwood. We don't go to alien planets (much) but hover around England. We don't do Gallifrey, we're not being a renegade (very sixties/seventies) and we do have moody, lonely introspection (very 21st Century).
Two of my favourite concepts of the 9th/10th era are the investigations into the Doctor's relentless urge to get out of there when the adventure is over and the idea that not all is well for the people, organisations and civilisations he leaves behind, and the fact that there are no Time Lords there to tidy up just throws some of that into harsher reality.

It would be interesting if some Time Lords had managed to escape Gallifrey destruction moving to e-space or anyway to another dimension where they're marooned because they fried most of their equipment while they were escaping Daleks blasts and in an episode the Doctor discovers their traces and has to try and rescue them. That would be nice. Maybe the costumes could be redesigned? I would love to see a special movie about the Time War. If not that, give us more info in the series. Don't keep us guessing about what really happened. In "The Satan Pit" the beast accused the Doctor of killing his own kind. Can't take its word as the truth because we don't know the whole story.

Actually, so far throughout the show, especially in "Bad Wolf/The Parting of Ways", there have been hints that the Doctor was in some ways responsible for the destruction of his own people.

Guess you do have point there. If they don't bring them all back, at least let there be some other survivors. There's still the Face of Boe's message, rumoured to be, "You are not alone." If anyone reading this has already seen Gridlock, don't tell what the message was. Not even using the spoiler bar. It would be too tempting. This is one thing I don't want to know before I see it.

I am sorry you are so wrong, but The Doctor is a TIME LORD renegade. A lot of the meaning of the show is his rebellion against his people. The Time Lords may never return, but the show misses a lot with absence. The producers will hurt their show without some Time Lord survivors.

I take it you're talking about the Master and not the Time-lords? "Him" as you say. (Please correct me if I'm wrong). My quote was about the Time-lords. Ok, you've written a story about the Master, (and well done), but can you summarize it without saying "The Master tries to take over ...."? With only 7 plots in Drama there's only so much you can do with a re-occurring villain. And how many times has the Master been killed off completely now? Ok, the story's summary in a nutshell: "The Planet Alraxiar IV, war torn and ravaged. There, two factions, the Empire and Alliance, fight it out over control of not only the planet but its valuable resources. The Doctor and Martha land in the TARDIS. There they find the Master, who is working alongside the High Chancellor of the alliance, and he's helping them with a secret project of high prioritory, which if successful will enable the Chancellor to take over the entire planet. However, just what is it? And, what's in it for the Master? Afterall, he has made no demands of any sort." First in a long line of stories, not all with the Master and Time Lords. And if I do finish it, the planned ending may just surprise some of you.

The Doctor had said that he would sense if any of the Time Lords survived. But would he sense them if they were in e-space, another dimension, or a parallel universe? Hmm. Could someone tell me why the Doctor wasn't able to sense the Master while they were on earth before Utopia? I didn't quite understand the explanation the Doctor gave in Sound of Drums.

It seems like a rather weak explanation, but apparently the Archangel Network 'cancels' out the ability for the Doctor to sense the Master... or something like that.

This video has some really interesting theories concerning the Time War. Some are even plausible considering what the Time Lords did in the original series. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj31ajsuBTYHmmm! Let me know what you think.
