I dd't see any of the later shows of the old Dr Who shows did it show the war or did it happen between the old series and this new one?

there wasn't any footage from what I've seen, but I missed a LOAD of episodes.
also, invisble sig for the lose!

i think its something he said in the new series, not old (cause there are timelords still alive then)

maybe the daleks built that skin on top of it so they could power it up - so it's a shell on top of the time lord ship to allow it to be charged - a giant converter if you will.

Speculation has it that the time war was responsible for the Eighth Doctor's regeneration into the Ninth. The Doctor also referred to this conflict as "the last great Time War," implying that there had been others.

If theres a problem with my sig please mail me and i'll be quite happy to ignore it.

So the doctor must have what 2 regnerations left? or has that now been resinded? (going my memory (Time Lords could only regenerate 12 times, a rule i seem to remmber imposed, but is technically able to regenerate an unlimited amount of time).

spirit · 10 Jul 2006 at 12:38

its possible to steal regenerations too, so who knows, who knows!

Ceryndrion · 10 Jul 2006 at 12:58

The doctor has two regenerations left officially, though it is possible with Gallifreyan technology to reset the counter so to speak.. the master did it at least once..

Whether the doctor can or not.. is down to the scriptwriters of the future..

Well seeing as no-one can see your sig, we'll ignore it for you.

mouse + highlight = seeing text, not that hard if your really that interested in knowing what it said.
So we are clear the text colours were deliberate now bugger off about my sig.

But than you for your interest.

I doubt it.
The outside skin needed a humanoid hand on it to open it up so it must have been made like that by the Timelords.
Also Dr Who hadn't got a clue what it was because he didn't know everything his own people had made.

They probably made it like that to remind them waht was inside!

Time Lord 1: Hey where did I put all the Daleks?
Time Lord 2: I dunno, but I think there's one behind you!
Time Lord 1: that's not a Dalek it's my Dalek prison! Thought I'd lost it for a second!

DailyGeek · 10 Jul 2006 at 21:08

I dunno, I think the genesis ark looked more like the inside of the tardis than a dalek??

That, I'd guess, would be a feature built into the actual vessel - and thus the shell is just carrying that through to the vessel - i.e. a lock that the dalek's couldn't bypass.

I think it was more form following function.

It was made to hold Daleks, presumably originally it would have been placed somewhere very secure and it's easier to secure/hide something small.
Because of that it was made big enough to allow the Daleks to enter, and to hold the necessary machinery to keep it working and presumably defend it from forced access, there was no need to make it bigger or a different shape.

If you haven't watched them how could you have been not impressed?

I watched some of series 1. It seemed way too cheesy. So I didn't bother watching season 2.

Then I guess you missed the point.

As for the 'skin' idea. That makes a lot of sense to me. The devices on the outside reacted to the Dalek's plunger thingies, and then Micky touched it, it reacted much like the first season Dalek. In fact, they said in the show that the Daleks had built that technology for use as a power source.

VIRII · 11 Jul 2006 at 00:36

When the Doctor opened the void the black dalek announced the void opening and called other daleks to deal with the Doctor.
Shortly after that it "said" something like "Emergency translocation" and vanished into thin air.
I get the impression that it escaped the void and is still somewhere in this plane of existence. Did anyone else notice that?

Werewolf · 11 Jul 2006 at 00:44

"Emergency temporal shift" I beleive is the exact wording used (just imagine it said in a screechy/choppy sort of voice).

It's still around somewhen.
