borgseawolfI'm sure this has been discussed a long time ago, so with series four drawing to a close, I thought I'd bring the topic up again.
I only started watching during the first new!Who series, so I don't know much about old!Who, but I do know that the Last Great Time War occurred between the old series and the new series. At first I thought it was just something that everybody already knew about perhaps by audio stories or books, that all of the facts and the circumstances were common knowledge. While we do know a lot, we don't know the entire story behind it.
I think it would be something interesting to see, but at the same time I think the mystique behind it is better than actually knowing the terms and conditions of it. It's better, probably, to not know.(I was actually having a conversation about it with a friend of mine who favors Sylvester McCoy's Doctor.) We know who it involved, what happened, etc. I'm just curious as to how other fans feel about the lack of total explanation provided. And, on that note, if there's a detailed depiction of it, does someone know where I could find one? I've already looked at the Who!Wiki and it's interesting, but inconclusive, which I think I've already said about five times in this post. Sorry about that.
And if this makes absolutely no sense at all, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

amusedsemi_hitokiri for this; it's a sheet from the Office of the Castellan, with the official (more or less) Seal of Approval in the corner. As usual, if you want to print it and use it, please feel free. :)

contemplativeAccording to what we know, it's impossible for 10 to go to Gallifrey because it's destroyed. Also, he says he can't go back to before the time war.
However, the whole way through 5's timeline as the Doctor, Gallifrey is present and exists. So could 5 have taken 10 to 5's "present Gallifrey" or not?
Gallifrey probably has a straight timeline so at the point of 5 meeting 10, Gallifrey probably wouldn't have been there. However, as I said earlier, we know (from watching the classic series), that 5 could go to Gallifrey anytime because it was always there for him. And, as "Time Crash" is canon, how does that fit in?
Obviously they avoided this question in the episode, but it's quite complicated... any thoughts?

The rest is here in my journal artisticIs Gallifrey really gone?
Do you want to see Gallifrey again?
Do you have a possible theory on the whole thing if you believe Gallifrey ISN'T gone..?
Yes, I have a theory

No, I believe it's gone forever 65 (29.7%)
Unsure 95 (43.4%)
lied_ohne_worte, and the goodwill of TPTB, the Prydonian Academy is now listed in the LiveJournal Schools directory, and can be added to your schools by clicking the link, or by going to the Schools directory and navigating to Ireland -> County Dublin -> Gallifrey -> Prydonian Academy. "Rassilon and Morbius, the Vardon-Kosnax war,
X-squared, y-squared, H2SO4!
Time warps, black holes, ancient history,
Prydonia, Prydonia, chapter varsity!
Go reds!"
klystronic for pointing that one out.kassie_opia, who came up with the idea in the first place! curiouskassie_opia made a post a while back about adding the Prydonian Academy to the LJ schools directory, seeing as there are already schools like Hogwarts and Unseen University in there. In the ensuing discussion, we settled on locating it in County Dublin, Ireland, since that seems to have been a running joke in both the series and the tie-in media. (See the post for the discussion.)lied_ohne_worte commented, the people receiving these requests are local Irish volunteers, and a better way might be to submit a support request in the schools category, which I have now done. There is no need for anyone else to do so just now; so let's just sit tight and keep our fingers crossed!
