cozenI was just wondering about the time lock on the time war.

So the time lock cant be entered at all nobody can get there without serious plans having been put in place or total random accident.

but what would happen if the doctor traveled to just before the war broke out and lived into it, would he enter the time war or would something happen to prevent him from doing so.

or is it all wibbly wobbly timmy wimmy with the war beeing fought across time

Time travel into or out of the Time War is impossible (barring acts of Plot). Therefore the Doctor could, if he wanted, travel back in time to just before the Time War and simply live until it started, but he would be unable to travel back out of it. -- Dark T Zeratul 08:06, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

The war was fought across time, so there may not be any specific time that it started. Even without the time-lock, the Doctor can't go back to the time-war, because he has already been there and is "part of events." Its the same reason why he can never travel back in time to the begginning of an episode to warn people about the danger that he knows will happen.Icecreamdif 22:18, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
