[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] As I understand it, the destruction of Gallifrey IS a consequence (or precedent) of the "Time War" that the Doctor fought in, mentioned last episode, and which will be brought to light over the course of the season. The Daleks, one of the few other races in the Doctor Who canon who use time travel to a significant extent, are rumoured to be part of all this. But after the war, he's basically it. There may be other Gallifreyan survivors out there, but as far as Time Lords are known, he's the last one. And this was a fantastic episode, which I enjoyed far more than the first one. It demonstrates the high budget quality of this show's potential. It also has great scripting, while (like Farscape) keeping things grounded in the present day. Next we're heading to 1860s Wales for some zombie action, and we'll have had past, present and future. And the iPod gag was great. :) As for the TARDIS - some people have been complaining about the look and use of odd bits of garbage as controls (the bicycle pump, desk bell, a stroller wheel to set the time, etc.). It think this also ties in with the lack of a home planet you can pop in at occasionally to get spare parts (which I'm sure he's done in SOME incarnations), to say nothing of the link to the Eye of Harmony that powered all TARDISes. There's probably a gerbil in an exercise wheel somewhere too). Since the TARDIS (so far) seems to have only the one console room, it may indeed be all that's left, and he's been maintaining it with stuff he's found in a scrapyard in Totter's Lane, or something. Mind you, Rose is going to have to get dressed in period costume SOMEWHERE... Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
