[QUOTE]Originally posted by FawnDoo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mars Needs Women: [qb]I would think that the planet still exists in time prior to the war's end but that the Doctor chooses not to go there. [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't think it's a case of choice - I remember one of the books saying that travelling into Gallifrey's past was forbidden because the time traveller might inadvertantly alter Gallifrey's future. Fits in with the generally conservative nature of their society, I suppose. The TARDIS might be locked out of any co-ordinates that would take it to Gallifrey's relative past. While there has never been any real confirmation of the Time War's duration, RTD has commented on the backstory and wrote a bit about it in one of the annuals - I think in one of the "Doctor Who Confidential" episodes he even went so far as to say that the Time Lords started the war with a pre-emptive strike against the Daleks, featured in "Genesis of the Daleks" - which places it back in the 4th Doctor's era. I have to admit I always assumed the Doctor's line in "Dalek" about watching the Dalek fleet burn referred to his actions in "Remembrance of the Daleks" where he detonated Skaro's star - which was in the 7th Doctor era. And of course there is the Doctor's line at the start of "Rose" where he seems to check out his new face for the first time, which would put it not long after his regeneration and the (presumed) end of the Time War. Of course we might be chasing our tails here looking for info on the time war - is there an answer to such a question as when did two time travelling powers fight a war? :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
