Talk:Last Great Time War

According to an issue of Doctor Who Adventures, in the comic, the Doctor said that nearly every species was part of the Time War (although not at the same time and not for the whole of the Time War, I think only the Daleks and Time Lords were in the Time War for the whole war). I'm usure where to put this infomation. anyone?---Si http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/e/e4/Si_HTL_Seal_Leader.PNG 16:57, 19 May 2007 (UTC) All the species were involved, sure, because they're all involved in time. Not all species fought, however; take the Sontarans, for instance.

Is there any information as to which Doctor was involved in the Time War? I'm assuming it was the Eighth Doctor, unless he regenerated before the Time War. 82.46.190.172 01:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Could someone remove the obvious vandalism here? I would, but I don't even watch Dr. Who.98.201.35.10 00:20, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

When did the war happen
I have just gotten back into Dr. Who. Watched it as a kid on PBS and now that Scifi has it, I have gotten back in. In whatch many old episodes i saw the time lords still alive and have yet to figure out when the time war happened. Can any one tell me at least what Dr. fought in the war I know it had to be the 7th to 4th, but want to narrow it down.


 * The Time War happens off screen at some point after the Doctor Who (1996) film with Doctor number 8 and Rose (TV story) at the start of the revived series with doc number 9 - it has not yet been shown on TV, just something that is reffered to. It's not entirely clear what happens in it as a result. Jack's the man - 23:57, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

I must ask this question. Why does this article suggest the doctor implied he played a great part in the Time war(sourcing Dalek) then suddenly following up that he only suggested it because the Beast called him killer of his own kind(Satan Pit). These two episode are not related and did not even happen to the same doctor.

Doctor Who IX didn't imply a major role, he outright states he watched the ship burn, then stresses that he made them burn. This does not say implication to me.

Doctor Who X has built on that admission through implication, such as the Satan Pit, when the Beast calls him Killer of his own kind, the Doctor doesn't challenge him implying that he is right.

In essence, I think this article needs to be cleared up in that respect.

Also I don't know how cannon a comic book store is to the overall story of the Doctor. I have doubts about the peace treaty that allowed the Doctor to take the Master's remains from Skaro. If you watch the movie, you see that the Daleks judge the Master for all his evil crimes...almost as if they were acting as fair and impartial judges, strange when the Master has worked with them. I think some of the movie is confusing enough without mixing in questionable cannon of comic books. That, however, is mere opinion.

the reason it is implied that the doctor says to the Dalek in van staterns lab in the episode dalek when talking about the end of the time war 'I watched it happen I made it Happen' also in the sound of drums he tells the master that he ended the war and that the timelords and fro most part the daleks were dead

Watch the episodes Dalek, sound of drums and the episode satan pit that sohuold show you why it is implied.

As for the fair trial look at Romannas page i belive that explains it Assassin of death 13:57, 8 June 2009 (UTC) Assassin of death

Hi,

I have always believed that as the first mention of the actual time war seems to be in the 9th doctors series that either the 8th Doctor (Paul Mcgann) or the 9th Doctor took place in the time war, though I;'m not sure if the time or Doctor has actually been decided yet. That my view anyway, thanks for listening.

Where did the pic in this article come from?
It shows an explosion below and a bunch of saucers (Dalek ships, most likely) being swallowed up in the blast and exploding. Was this the Doctor sending an explosive to the surface of Gallifrey and blowing it up to kill the Daleks? I've never seen an actual flashback segment of the War on the tv series so where does this pic come from? Bttsstewart 01:31, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The picture is from here, under the Daleks. -<Azes13 02:10, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Is that picture actually cannon? It looks like it is the same picture on that site under daleks that represents "Skaro-Dalek Planet," but with fire added to the Dalek ships.Icecreamdif 02:34, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Survivors
As is, this article says there were only two Time Lord survivors. Yet before the Master's return we would have said there was only one survivor. So we have no way of knowing for sure just how many survivors there are. Shouldn't this be 'possibly two' instead?

"Two known survivors" would be the standard phrasing. Please sign your contributions to a talk page.Boblipton 17:41, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

Removed origins section
Look, unless there's narrative proof somewhere that these are "early strikes" of the Time War, we can't use any of this. Even in the 2006 Annual article (which we can only use provided it's in the behind the scenes section), it mentions the story of the war is hard to piece together, and the exact cause of the escalations and the start of the war isn't clear at all. -- Tybort (talk page) 19:27, March 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Time Lords predicted that in one possible timeline, the Daleks would "destroy all other life forms and make themselves the dominant creature in the universe." The Time Lord Ferain sent the Fourth Doctor on a mission to Skaro during the Thousand Year War with certain objectives:
 * If possible, to avert the creation of the Daleks
 * Otherwise to alter their development and make them less aggressive
 * To find some intrinsic flaw or weakness to exploit in the Daleks
 * The Doctor believed he might have set back the history of the Daleks for a thousand years. (TV: Genesis of the Daleks)


 * Several key events occurred even before the Fourth Doctor's interference. These, including the Daleks' achievement of time travel with the TARDIS-esque Dalek time machine (TV: The Chase) and the Time Lords helping the Third Doctor navigate his TARDIS to Spiridon, (TV: Planet of the Daleks) were early shots fired in the Time War. (AUDIO: The Dalek Conquests)


 * The Daleks learned of the Time Lords' efforts and planned to use duplicates of the Fifth Doctor and his companions to assassinate the High Council of the Time Lords. These duplicates were killed when the station they were on was destroyed. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks) One of the Dalek Puppet Emperors declared hostilities, although the Daleks claimed these were in retaliation for the Time Lords sending the Fourth Doctor back in time to prevent their creation.


 * Later, the Seventh Doctor used the Hand of Omega to apparently destroy the Dalek homeworld of Skaro. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)


 * The Daleks launched over a thousand ships into the Time Vortex, These forces were stopped by the Eighth Doctor, who left them trapped there. (AUDIO: The Time of the Daleks) The Daleks later made a deal with the Time Lords that allowed the Dalek fleet to leave the Time Vortex. (AUDIO: Neverland)

The Captain Jack's Monster Files episode on the Daleks makes it very clear that the Doctor trying to revert their history is what lead the Daleks and the Time Lords to go to war. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 19:43, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'm reaching out on this, and I'm sure some would argue it IS an origin, albeit a far reaching-one, but the way I see read it is essentially, "the Fourth Doctor didn't prevent their creation, and seeing as they exist, they later fought in a war", and you could essentially replace any Dalek-related war with that. -- Tybort (talk page) 19:54, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
