THE THEORIES. CRACKED, UNCRACKED, RAW, BOILED, AND LIKE GOOD POTATOES (MAYBE AN EGG OR TWO) ON TIME LORDS IN NEW WHO.
Warning: Spoilers abound all the way through Series 3, Episode 12 ("The Sound of Drums") and then for some of the audios as well (namely Gallifrey, though less so); so don't click the cut if you don't want to get spoiled.
So. Like any good fangirl, I want to be twelve years old and jump and down and squeal and go "ohemgee time looordz there must be mooorez" (oh wait, I did that already), I naturally must work out several things. Namely how, and how, and why, and how again, and dammit who.
Well, for the who, that ones kind of easy, I'll take nearly anyone so long as they're bloody awesome (coughRomanacough), but um, I'm not picky. Let's not be lame shall we? No Iris Wildthyme or something, mmkay? I mean, fine in the audios, but no.
So ANYWAYS.
The how.
I mean, they can't all be doing the nifty little chameleon watch trick, that would be once again a bit lame and well, I just can't cope with that sort of mass produced plotdevice. It grates on me more than a bit after a while. No really it does. However, what I have worked out is a really awesome way for it to have gone down. For what could've happen.
No seriously, it's kind of fab, if I do say so myself (which I am).
[cracks knuckles]
RIGHT-O.
So. Once upon a wee time there was this man, whose name was Gary Russell. Now, Gary Russell currently works for, writes for, does all sorts of relatively boring, nerdy, deskjobby things for the BBC on behalf of Who and Torchwood, but once upon a time, Gary word for Big Finish who makes the audios (which can't actually talk about the big bad Time War, due to things like licenses but can do everything but and dice your carrots). Now, in the amazing loopholes that are the audios, namely the Gallifrey ones, they alluded to something dark that they the could see on the horizon, something that they had to prepare for.
Which is where this guy named Braxiatel who may or may not be the Doctor's brother, but definitely is a collector of art and the creator of the Arc of Gallifry and (woo with me now) which is as those who are particularly geeky know is the Matrix.
[crickets]
Right.
Pretty much, dear Brax figured out a way to store all of the Time Lord biodata in a place/form OFF of Gallifrey for when this Big Scary Doomy Thing™ occurred, thus making Time Lords able to come back. Now, for those counting at home, when the word "matrix" was used in Utopia, it definitely triggered a whole bunch of stuff in dear old Professor Yana's crazy old fictional mind.
Powerful, eh?
Now, another thing that I have to say about Utopia, that is definitely out in the corner with cows, is that the place that the humans were fleeing too (the "utopia" of Utopia) is Gallifrey. On the edge, where no Time Lord has been (as Ten himself said, he looked into the void and ran, and kept running, so he wouldn't know for certain would he?), they hid themselves, a safeguard, a utopia from their enemies, until the time is right.
What is the right time?
Who knows.
This might just be a cracked theory.
In other, still dorky things. I want a sally sparrow header. Cause she's crazy adorable like that. mm, yes.
