End of Time: News/Speculation/Discussion

[huntress]

A lot of people (including myself) that are members of the Doctor Who Online forum - http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/ - suspect that the Time Lords will have some sort of return in The End Of Time. They might have hidden themselves and Gallifrey behind some sort of cloaking device, so the Daleks (and the Doctor) thought they'd been destroyed. Also, the Master might be caught up in however they return. There's all sorts of theories flying around as to how they might come back, but the general feeling is that they're coming back somehow.

If it's a proper comeback, I hope the other Time Lords decide to be a bit more like the Doctor and help out civilisations in need from time to time, rather than just sitting back and observing

IF the time lords return (which would actually be kind of cool) then I doubt that they will change that much. The doctor has always been considered an outlaw and a rascal for being the way the way he is - no proper time lord in their opinion would behaver that way. They made that clear but it would be nice if one or two time lords go the way of the doctor. I would just be happy if Romana survived he whole war. I would love to have hear back!

Well, I'm an avid fan of Doctor Who (more so the newer episodes). One thing that has been mentioned though, that I don't quite understand is the 'other' Timelords. People say that they look down upon the Doctor for his 'helping' others, yet I thought the Timelords (in general) were good guys?

Am I missing something?

They're basically a bit like Ascended Beings.

They have horrendous amounts of power of time, and thus, choose a non interference approach, simply looking down at the rest of the universe and never getting involved. The Doctor is a bit like Oma Desala in that regard...

I see. I suppose the Daleks would be the Ori then? And Ca'an would be Tomin?

Thanks for answering my question anyway.

What's funny is The Time Lords "officially" claimed non interference, but in truth used to get involved behind the scenes - case in point - The Two Doctors, just before The Doctor's exile to Earth, he's being used by a sinister Time Lord group to tell some scientists to ease up on their time experiments because they're getting too developed too quickly.

I wouldn't be too surprised if

Spoiler:

the time lords do return, as the next series returns to the older look of Who before the 9th doctor arrived. Could the adventures of the 9th and 10th Doctors of been a different series!?

Huh? Je ne comprends pas

I was trying to say, that the dawn of Matt Smith seems to be another reboot of Doctor Who, a new logo and look similar to the older series. In the older series the Time Lords weren't, well.....dead. The current Who series only lasted from 2005-2009, but is being changed so soon.

Oh okay, now I understand what you wanted to say.

Spoiler:

Well, we don't know that and quite frankly I don't really care much for the Timelords in general just for the runaways like the Doctor, the Master, the Meddling Monk and the Rani. The ones on Gallifrey were either not quite sane or stuffy bureaucrats. Also we do not for certain that they will in fact return. Those pictures we saw might just be from flashbacks.

Honestly, I really hope so. I like the Doctor being alone, or.... almost alone.

Just saw the Trailer for the end of time. It looks pretty awesome, except the ridiculously awful CGI skull on the master. Really? That's the best the BBCs budget can do? I don't suppose there's any chance they'll make it look better before it airs is there?
