Did they specifically state that the UK and France's missiles were going to be land launched?
I think the point of the scene was that any country, when UNIT called, was ready to fend off the alien whorde and phantasmagoria for the greater good, even if they hadn't signed the NPT or were going completely against it.

Originally posted by ReefgirlI'm sure they said in TLotT that Gallifreyan's had to go through some kind of ritual to become Timelords, I'm sure also in one of the books it was said that not every Gallifreyan is a Timelord. Don't quote me on this, it's just what I heard

I'm pretty sure (though not so sure as to how canon it is) that it's been stated somewhere that not all Gallifreyans are Time Lords (I have the impression they are like an elite sect within Gallifreyan society). And regarding how Time Lords are born, I know it was referenced somewhere that they are woven on looms (but I believe, from the context, it's not clear whether the Doctor was being serious/telling the truth there).
So there you go. That's about as clear as mud, isn't it?sigpic

In Leela's last episode she affiliates herself with "shebogans" who are Gallifreyans who are decidedly not Time Lords. They do not regenerate.
The Doctor also mentioned being a graduate of the "Prydonian Academy"-- there are also PAxtrexian and Arcalian Academies too. (He wears a specific color of robes to reflect this fact.)
I had an idea for a fan fic where we meet the parents of a Time Lord... my theory was that each parent had to "give up" a regeneration during the act of creating the baby... to give it the two hearts.
A Time Lord also has something called The Rassilon Imprimature (See "The Two Doctors") which helps them control their TArdises (without it they would die in the time vortex... ala Chessene)"That's what you get for dicking around"--Col. Jack O'Neill

The Castellan is the head of the Chancellery Guard; effectively the Gallifreyan head of security. Although actual names such as Chancellor Flavia and Lord President Barusa emerge further in, initially the High Council are known only by title of office. Like the renegades (the Doctor, the Master, the Monk, the Rani, the War Lord) they are definite articles (the Castellan, the Chancellor, the President).Behold the majesty that is...GERALD!

Originally posted by Merlin's_Legacy View PostThis fact sort of bugs me.... If one has to have the Rassilon Imprimature in order to "not die" in the time vortex, then how the heck are all the companions able to survive without it? Has that ever been explained?
It has something to do with the Doctor permanently being a part of his TARDIS... I think... I can't find my copy of "The TWo Doctors" so I'm stuck going by memory... sigh...

Spoiler:Maybe his daughter was born to a human woman, not necessarily Rose.
*waves hand in the air Jedi style...* the 90's movie did NOT happen. Doctor is 100% Gallifreyan!
Spoiler:Maybe they have children the same way we do, but only special ones get to look into the vortex. and those that do, no matter where they are in their class status on Gallifrey become Timelords. Or, upon looking into the vortex, their reaction gives them their status. The wrong reaction, and you are not a Timelord. So since Gallifrey isn't supposed to be around anymore, she can't and so she won't be a Timelord.
Spoiler:I think she might be Romana's daughter too. That would Rock. I just don't want her to be a clone.Things we'd like to see in our favorite scifi...
