: Yes, the Doctor's TARDIS is unregistered, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the Time Lords have no power over it. Remember, they were able to stop it escaping from them in "The War Games", and supplying it with power in "Three Doctors". What's to stop them sending a signal to the TARDIS that actives a technology modification programme? And it may have only been during the Time War that all TARDIS Eyes were linked up to the prime Eye.

:: If you accept that the novels, the DWA article, or RTD's interviews are canon, then every TARDIS has had a link since the very early models. If you throw them all out, there's no justification for the link at all, except some fan speculation by people like Gary Russell and Lance Parkin, and I can't imagine that anyone would say their speculations are canon but their novels aren't. There's no way to go half-way, and why do you even want to? --[[Special:Contributions/12.249.226.210|12.249.226.210]] 02:31, September 1, 2011 (UTC) | :: If you accept that the novels, the DWA article, or RTD's interviews are canon, then every TARDIS has had a link since the very early models.

::: Well, at least some of Lance's speculations were published in ''AHistory'', and he did a pretty good job of making it clear when he was relying on the novels and when things were based entirely on TV, so I could imagine someone considering the non-novel parts of ''AHistory'' canon, but not the novels. It would be a bit weird, but not entirely unworkable. But anyway, I agree with your main point (not surprising, since I think you were agreeing with me). -[[Special:Contributions/173.228.85.35|173.228.85.35]] 05:16, September 1, 2011 (UTC) | |||
