Observation about Galifrey <SPOILERS>

From that perpective Gallifrey might even be the same size as earth, it's really hard to tell from the angle of the visual effect.

From this picture, it really isn't, it is quiet a bit bigger than Earth.

Has anyone mentioned that Gallifrey was big and orange, whereas in the TV movie it was blue?

I just put that down to the planet forming or somesuch!
 
Gallifrey's color is the least of the problems with the TV movie. Skaro wasn't red-orange in the Classic Series either. Gallifrey has been orange since the Classic series (The Invasion of Time, specifically).
Surely Skaro was black and white in the classic series. But then there's also the multiple Skaro theory, that one was destroyed in Remembrance of the Daleks, but it was either a decoy or another planet became the homeworld.

As for Gallifrey, I didn't know it was seen from space in the classic series. Calling my fandom into question :(. But I'm sure we can make things up to explain all these things.

Yeah you can see it here.

It astounds in a show about an alien who flies around the universe in a ship which is bigger inside than out, people are getting hung up on issues of what would actually happen if another planet showed up in Earth's orbit.

Yeah, I know... it's like when poeple get all hung up about Trek registry numbers of ships that don't actually exist... eh? ;)

Oh, zing!

Don't you meant you'll complain about 0anything? ;)
 
Actually Gallifrey is hollow. In "The Invasion of Time" the Dr. explained that long ago Rassilon had placed a black hole (known as The Eye of Rassilon) in the core of the planet to power their godlike (not the term he used) technology.
And speaking of the Eye of Rassilon, has anyone noticed the excessive number of things on Gallifrey named for Rassilon. The Eye of Rassilon, the Key of Rassilon, I expected the Dr. to take time out to visit the Toilet of Rassilon (also known as the Throne of Rassilon...).:lol:

Yeah, all the waste gets flushed to the void between dimensions, which is why when you travel dimensions you get covered with "void stuff"... it's Time Lord dookey. ;)

That's also why the Eternals called it "The Howling"- too many Timelord burritos.

...you're famous? :wtf:

Well, was famous. For two weeks. In 2008. In the Trek XI forum.

Okay, I was popular. Because everyone wanted to argue with me.

You know what, it's possible I'm delusional. I may have an exaggerrated opinion of myself.

Excuse me while I write an emo blog about lack of appreciation.
 
Gallifrey is on fire from the TIme War. In other scenes the flams are flickering and moving.
