I ask because in the Classic series( Invasion of Time), there is a sub-section of Galifreyans that live outside the city. Unlike the Galifreyans inside the Citadel who presumably are all Time Lords and Ladies, the Galifreyans who live in the wastes reject their counterparts way of life. Watching the Classic series, you get a sense the sections of Galifreyans aren't the best of chums, but certainly aren't hostile toward one another.
My question is, why would a "high-born Galifreyan" live in the wastelands with non-Time Lords, instead of the Citadel where you'd expect those of high birth to stem from?
The people in
Invasion of Time were hunter/gatherers, not farmers. They lived off the land and led very sparse, hard lives. Leela felt right at home among them, while all Rodan (the Time Lady who accompanied Leela) could do was whimper and cry at the thought of her food pills running out.
Telepathic net.
Anyone wanting to stay connected to the world, it doesn't matter where they live.
Also obviously their cities must be dimensionally transcendental, so that trillions of Time Lords live inside these cities, that are probably only the size of a few hundred Wallmarts from the look of the special effects we've seen.
For some reason they prefer to leave Gallifrey as untouched as possible, perhaps maybe because they're not assholes?
Or it's a siege defense?
Where the Daleks the first lot who the Time Lords went to war with?
Given the existence of the Death Zone (in
The Five Doctors) and the fact that it used to be the Gallifreyan equivalent of the Colosseum - aliens scooped up from their time streams and forced to fight each other for the Time Lords' amusement - it's not too surprising that there are parts of Gallifrey where the more enlightened Time Lords don't want to live.
Or more of a sense of adventure. As a fan, of course I'll take exploration of the show's mythology or delving into the psyche of the Doctor. But the average viewer wants to see fun adventure or they'll just flip the channel.
Yes, more adventure!! But I would love it too if there was a more consistent story arc that tied together the individual adventures. The Key of Time arc with the 4th Doctor is a good example of what I am talking about. Each episode was an adventure but there was a clear purpose that tied it all together. In fact, I thought we were going to get something like that with the Search for Gallifrey.
Absolutely. More adventure, but adventure that makes sense. IOW, we start at the beginning and progress toward the end, instead of ending up with a story whose plot points are all tangled up like the mess my cats make with a ball of yarn.
And I can't help but wonder, will we ever revisit Clara and Ashildr? Something should be done with them before Capaldi leaves...
Why? So we can get all weepy over Clara's death AGAIN, and are left wondering if it's permanent this time, or if they'll fudge it yet again?
That pairing has potential for non-TV series adventures. Give them comic stories, audio stories, novels, anthology stories, and there are already fanfic stories out (on fanfiction.net). Let those be enough, and give the viewers a break from The Clara Show.
All the Companions of the new era have come back. Amy, Donna, Rose, Martha, Mickey, Jack, River...so we will definitely see Clara again. Capaldi's last episode, she'll be back.
Gah.
This is why it's pointless to get emotionally invested in the oh-so-dramatic companion departure stories in nuWho. Why bother, when they'll just be back 3 weeks later?
I would think that the Time Lords on Gallifrey would intervene and try to take her TARDIS back. First, because it is stolen propriety
If they could the Doctor and Missy wouldn't been running around with stolen ones.
Not to mention the Rani and a some other timelords not on Gallifry seen though out the classic series.
Well, at least Romana didn't steal one. The Doctor gave her K-9, and he had a copy of the TARDIS blueprints, so she could build her own.
