The "Great Vampires" in Doctor Who are massive creatures, colossal humanoids the size of mountains. The potential for inter-species romance is minimal.Great Vampires? Ew. Of course 20 years ago it may have worked. Today since vampires are all that anyone knows what to write about, it would be just like everyone else. Go Team Rory.
In your opinion..
Jeezus Sci <<random insult>> and <<random insult>>, <<condescending bullshit>>
People age differently. Time has not been kind to poor Colin.
BTW, I too would like to see the Time Lords return. And properly this time - what RTD did in The End of Time was terrible imo. Bringing the Timelords back for all of 5 minutes and then locking them away again is criminal! And they were only used as if they were some alien of the week anyway, you could have substituted any made up alien race in their place and the story would work the same!![]()
Erm, no, the story would not have worked the same. The End of Time was, in essence, about the Doctor being faced with the prospect of having to repeat the worst thing that ever happened to him, of coming full circle -- RTD's tenure on the show began with the loss of Gallifrey, and it would end with its repetition.
Whatever you may think of the execution of this theme -- did RTD succeed or fail in presenting it well? -- it remains that making the villains of The End of Time anything other than the Time Lords would irrevocably change the nature of the story being told.
Besides, the Time Lords are far more interesting dead than alive. Alive, they're just pretentious guys in silly hats. Dead, and they're like Atlantis -- and the Doctor is the last of the Atlanteans.
He seems to have moved on, actually.I mean how many times are we going to explore the psychosis of the doctor's repeated "I am the last" diatribe?
Now see here, this is where I greatly disagree with you..the last of the time lords, what a ridiculous and almost cliche' scenerio.. indeed! I think that the magic of the whole show in the classic series is that you had the time lords.. the wonder of their civilization, and the fact that the doctor could take us back there every now and again was a marvelous and intriguing part of the overall story..some of my most favourite episodes are those which involve the time lords!
think of the ratings and the reverence those classic episodes engender..
The WAr games (at the end)
The Invasion of Time
The Deadly Assassin
The five Doctors
Trial of a Time Lord
the Three Doctors
Etc.. etc..

Nah.
I completely disagree..the War Games is a historic episode..The War Games barely even counts if they're only in it at the end
The Five Doctors is only popular because it has 3.5 Doctors in it, sod all to do with the inane and inept politicking of the Time Lords
Trial of a Time Lord surely isn't THAT popular by the time you deduct everyone who thought was a) too long b) too convoluted c) too nonsensical or d) Colin Baker was the worst Doctor ever
Deadly Assassin I'll give you, good story
The other two I haven't seen
I don't think bringing Time Lords and Time Lord society back into the show at this point will add anything to it. They're better off in limbo, leaving the Doctor's past and life a mystery, as it always was to begin with.
That said, Dalton was awesome.
What about Susan?War Games is a ten-parter and the Time Lords are in at least the last 3 episodes, whilst the principal antagonist is our second non-Doctor Time Lord, the War Chief, the first being the Meddling Monk.

I see the reasoning behind the choice, but I think it could have been more focused in the execution and mindful of the historic nature the time lords represent to the storyline.. Rassilon was a great addition, but if we could have just gotten a bit more, it would have been smashing in my opinion.. a couple of shots of Gallifreyan war tardises in dock.. or how about some more scenes featuring the citadel..
or better yet the doctor's ancestral home..?? that was even more maddening..![]()
just minor things to make the pot a bit sweeter is all..there was the touching scenes with the master, but none which really anchored the doctor to his homeworld, even with the cheap shots of what could have been the doctor's mother, it still left me feeling as if the choice to send his world back to hell was easier then it should have been ..with no fond memories and or flashbacks of his life on Gallifrey, It seemed like it a contrived event.. shallow to the weight of the story..

since we didn't get a proper amount of time with the time lords in the End of Time, and since they are left dead, and since they are now time locked forever, how do you suppose we will ever experience that fantastic feeling ever again, of revisiting the home world of the most fantastic civilization in sci fi, the time lords?
I mean how many times are we going to explore the psychosis of the doctor's repeated "I am the last" diatribe??
time to move ahead, time to bring the Lords back..
I agree, the "Moff" Has certainly done well to stem the tide of repeated and overly emphasized "last of the time lords" story line...
the mystery of the doctor has been already revealed..
Romana has been called a Time Lord on several occasions.Psst, she doesn't have a you-know .. she's a girl. A Time Lady, if you will, not a Time Lord.
