Forum:Are Pre-Time War Daleks and Time Lords time locked as well?

It has been made clear in the New Series that the Time War is time-locked. So the Doctor can't go back to Gallifrey. But, since he encountered his pre-Time War self in Steven Moffat's Time Crash, could he meet up with other Time Lords who haven't experienced the Time War yet?

Fuguritively speaking, if the Tenth Doctor went back to see the Fourth Doctor, could he hitch a ride on the Fourth Doctor's TARDIS to visit a pre-Time War Gallifrey?

Likewise, could a New Series Doctor meet up with the Classic Series Daleks?

Isn't there a plot device that prevents either scenario above from happening?

It appears pre-Time War Daleks are appearing in so-called "series 5" Doctor Who. They're updated versions of the classic Daleks. Delton Menace 07:25, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

No one knows. It would make sense, to preserve causality leading up to the Time War. The origin of the Daleks appearing in Series 5 is as yet mysterious. One report says that one of Churchill's scientists thinks he himself invented them, which raises the question of where the inspiration comes from. And, of course, the Doctor meets pre-Time War Daleks in NSA: Prisoner of the Daleks, which he says is due to a glitch in the TARDIS. -- Noneofyourbusiness 16:22, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
