==Shouldn't "The Parting of the Ways" be in the main History section?== | |||
The conventional wisdom may be that the Doctor ended the Time War when he destroyed (or [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|"destroyed"]]) Gallifrey and the Daleks using the Moment. The article as written seems to reflect that. | |||
However, there's significant in-universe evidence that the [[Dalek Emperor (The Parting of the Ways)|Dalek Emperor]]'s survival and schemes as seen in ''[[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]'' and ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'', and his destruction at the glowy hands of the [[Bad Wolf (entity)|Bad Wolf entity]], ought to be considered the actual last battle in the Time War. | |||
The first quote is right in ''The Parting of the Ways'': as she is about to disintegrate the Emperor, Bad Wolf Rose declares that "the Time War ends", present tense. | |||
The second is from ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'': the Doctor thinks Jack's "ultra-resurrection" by the Bad Wolf Entity has a twinge of poetic irony about it, because it means that "the last act in the Time War was Life" — which shows even more explicitly that such a major player in the War as the Doctor thinks it only ended on the Game Station. | |||
This would be a pretty major edit to the page, though, so I thought it wiser to write this up here and get a second opinion or five. So… thoughts? --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 12:29, June 30, 2019 (UTC) | |||
