:: Hasn't RTD said that the Doctor's TARDIS doesn't have an Eye now, and draws power some other way? Well, maybe that was how TARDISes always operated before the links to the Eye were installed after TDA, if you believe that theory.

::: Well, he didn't say it doesn't have an Eye anymore, but he did say it can no longer draw power through the link from the Eye on Gallifrey. And the way the Doctor charges his TARDIS now is by opening up the engines directly over a time rift, like the one in Cardiff (as seen in ''Boom Town'' and ''Utopia''). Come to think of it, the Doctor uses the metaphors of recharging the battery and of fueling with petrol, so those metaphors can't be too far off… | |||

::: Anyway, I doubt that the Time Lords recharged all of their TARDISes at time rifts before TDA, but the same principle presumably would work fine with a fueling station on Gallifrey (and maybe emergency backups at various places in spacetime), and that could be what they used before TDA. As I said, I still don't like the theory that they changed all the TARDISes after TDA, but I can't find any solid evidence against it. --[[Special:Contributions/173.228.85.35|173.228.85.35]] 11:18, August 28, 2011 (UTC) | |||
