'Rassilon Era' suggests the time on Gallifrey when Rassilon was alive - is this correct? The use of it here and on the other Doctor pages suggests that the Doctor came from a period when Rassilon was still alive. Do we know that for a fact? Or, does 'Rassilon Era' apply to all Gallifreyan time after Rassilon? What is the origin of this phrase in the TV story or in the books etc? --Mantrid 03:30, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)
it comes from the TVM. as well as a date, it gave the era. since I do not have a DVD of the TVM, I consulted the episode guide on the BBC site, which mentioned the Rassilon Era as one of the eras. presumbably this means the Gallifreyan present or in the 2005 series the post-Gallifreyan present. --*Stardizzy* 04:13, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- This website says the Rassilon Era is pre-Doctor. http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/o/origindr.htm --MJP 15:34, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)
to use an analogy, Christian Era (CE) does not mean the time during which Jesus walked the Earth. it means the era dated by Christians as beginning at the birth of Jesus and continuing to now, versus BCE, meaning Before Christian Era.
besides which, the International Hero site mentioned the Rassilon era, not the Rassilon Era, as we would, say, talk about the Thatcher era or the Clinton era. not a formal designation, as such. --*Stardizzy* 23:01, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)
