I suggest that a novel would be the best medium to explore the Time War.
For Gallifrey!!!

Maybe but I for one would love to hear Big Finish's take on the Time War.
^ Okay...that'd be the other medium I'd enjoy. It'd still have to be written by Russell though.
^ Or better yet. Russell tells the guys at big finish his idea and they get different writers to show their own take on it. The ENTIRE war doesn't have to be written by Russell
I think this is the best idea. Davies has a lot of great ideas but quite often his execution and follow through are terrible.
^ That would be acceptable as well. I could see a Big Finish serial or something written by a number of writers based on a treatment RTD wrote.
So it's decided!
Now, the question is how do we convince Nicholas Briggs?

By saying it's the Time War!!!
^ Yeah that'll be pretty simple. The trouble is with Christopher Eccleston. He said he didn't want to be typecast as the Doctor, which is why he stopped. But they'd need to have the regeneration at some point
Well if Chris is going to be there just to record a regeneration scene then I don't see why he would have a problem with that. A couple of hours worth of voice work and a small chunk of change would be prudent.
oh yeah. good point.
Actually, no. That was what BBC reported was the reason for his departure, however Eccleston himself denied that and BBC was required to release a correction and apology.
Eccleston's actual reasons for leaving are somewhat more complicated and this thread probably isn't the best place to start that discusssion.
My understanding is that he did like the show and enjoyed playing the Doctor, he just couldn't stand a lot of the behind the scenes bullshit that was going down.
i think that using the time crack could restore a previous version of the timelords...akin to new vulcan in the jj abrams trek.. or a time locked but freed kandor like pocket of timelords... that would be cool too..
^ I think the ultimate purpose of the Time Crack as a plot device was to suggest and which was stated by the Doctor...that time isn't fixed and can be rewritten. That doesn't mean though that things were erased by the resetting of the universe. I think fans (specifically our good friend EJA) is taking this literally. Anyways onwards and upwards!
good point admiral..
though i wouldn't mind seeing moffat change things, and bring back the time lords, and some other classic characters.. who are on the time lord level..the osirins come to mind..suktech??
I may have wrote that wrong..
what about those aliens who threatened gallifrey in the invasion of time?? with the time lords gone, maybe their race came back into power and broke the time loop..
that would be cool change to the past.
One of us is confused about The Invasion of Tme aliens? There's no reason they can't be used (Avoiding spoiler about the aliens, if it is one, don't know how to do spoiler code
)
^ Um. I think that was what starsuperion was saying...that they could come back and he'd want to see them.
