[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Nope. In Doctor Who, time travel itself is rarely a plot point in a given story - it is simply the method the heroes use to reach the next story. Whenever they went to Gallifrey, it was always in chronological terms, sequentially with the progression of the series. I had actually thought that Gallifrey itself somehow was out of step with the rest of the continuum, but that probably isn't the case... There was one episode, following the death of one of the Doctor's companions, that another companion demanded they use the TARDIS to save him before the ship he was on blew up. I don't remember the exact reasons they didn't do it, but the Doctor got pretty angry at the suggestion. In another story, the Doctor was sent to interfere with history and destroy the entire Dalek race - and he didn't. Causality is rarely an issue in the Doctor Who universe, and I guess this is why - they simply don't use time travel directly to fix things. One of the beauties of the concept, I guess. In this episode alone, the Doctor could have used the TARDIS to save everyone sans major paradoxes a la "Bill and Ted", but they just don't do that. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
