| Re: Doctor Who paradox *spoilers*
What a lovely thread! I am so glad ekys was able to show physically the divergent time lines as I was wondering how to draw it on here.
My understanding about the Timelords is that they were the keepers of a specific (in their words) "true" time line as to how things were to happen. This is the one time line that has the creation of the Timelords from mere Gallifreyans known as the Pythias.
There was also an inhibitor in effect that would not allow a time lord to visit Gallifrey beyond a "current modern time." But, you have to have a road map if you want to drive the universe in a particular way. Thus the Green and Black books of Gallifrey were written to show how it all ends. If this is true, then at least SOME of the Timelords must have known they Time War would be the end of their exsistence as Temporal Police. (Although they had a strict non-interference policy except when it suited them.)
I won't bore you with the "historical" details. |
