Talk:Rassilon

The Narrator

I hear he is referred to as "Rassilon", but couldn't this be metaphorical. Could someone show me the exact line of dialogue?--138.130.100.123 05:45, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

"Back to the Time War, Rassilon!" Could be a nickname or metaphor. I hope it's a nickname and they didn't just condense the return of Rassilon into a single line that didn't impact the plot in the least...--Golden Monkey 06:05, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

It impacts the plot because it shows just how amoral and ruthless Rassilon is or has become. If its simply another Time Lord President, it means little. If its Rassilon himself, it means so much more. Without Davies stating explicitly otherwise, then its safe to assume this is Rassilon himself. -- Corvus1970

I read that someone (Russel T. Davis I think) confirms that he is Rassilon.--WarGrowlmon18 17:44, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Should the picture of Dalton be up here so soon after the airing of the episode? I kind of predicted who Rasillon would be, but I would hate to see anyone boning up on Doctor history in preparation for watching have that little surprise blown. --The Moist Towelette of Rassilon

I think this is Rassilon, he to have the Hand of Omega, and Rassilon was a friend of Omega. Also, i think Russel T Davies confirmed this

The Doctor wouldn't have called him Rassilon, especially with such disdain, unless that's who he actually was. There is no need to assume this ISN'T The Rassilon of old, to assume otherwise is to add uneeded complexity to the name-drop, especially since that isn't the way Davies handles things. The "Pope" argument isn't a good one, since "Pope" is a title, but the Popes then retain their own name associated with it as well. "Lord President" is a title, "Rassilon" is a name. As such, I - as so many others - believe that this IS Rassilon himself. -- Corvus1970

Rassilon is held in such high esteem among Time Lords. His seal is seen all over it's sociaty. The name drop WAS a metaphor, but he was talking to the whole planet, not just to the President. Making the assumption that it was Rassilon himself adds unneeded complexity. It really is simpler to assume it isn't. Also, there's no reason to assume the gauntlet is the hand of Omega.

Keep calm and stay focused.

It is an assumption even that "Rassilon" is the name the Lord President would have used for himself; it is only what the Doctor calls him. It is possible, though unlikely, that the Doctor is using the name as an insult, the same way a human under similar circumstances might have called him "Hitler". (Especially if one considers the Big Finish Eighth Doctor's experiences with Rassilon) -- DorianX

Take into consideration that remark he makes early on in Part Two; "A drumbeat... a warrior's mark." If we take NA: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible into consideration, then Rassilon was quite a soldier. The events of BFA: Zagreus and the Fourth Doctor's narration on Rassilon's war against the Great Vampires in DW: State of Decay indicates his ability as a general, if not a general.

I think that phrase is a strong indication that the Narrator is indeed the original Rassilon, creator of the Time Lords. --Reikson 16:09, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Main Image

Would it be possible to change the image on this page? I'm not asking for a major redesign like we did for the Master and are doing for the Doctor, but I don't like the layout of the main image here. Would it be possible to make each image slightly bigger, and have two rows of two instead of having all four images in one row?Icecreamdif 02:33, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

I've changed the image to one of my taste. Hope you like it! BroadcastCorp (talk | contribs) 09:44, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, thats much better. Thanks.Icecreamdif 20:37, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

No it's not. Like I told you Broadcast, copying existing designs makes your image boring and devalues the existing ones. Those were the exact words I used on your talk page, yet still you keep making them. Can't you come up with your own design?--Skittles the hog - talk 20:43, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

My own design... That is a bit of a good idea. But keep that image in the meantime. BroadcastCorp (talk | contribs) 09:20, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Nope. For the same reasons I have mentioned a thousand times, we can't keep turfing out identical images. On another note, when you reverted my edit, you reintroduced duplicated images. Please ensure you don't do this.--Skittles the hog - talk 09:31, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

I'm taking the image down until we settle this. Your image is quite low-quality. BroadcastCorp (talk | contribs) 10:20, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

No were not. The matter is settled, we aren't using the same design again. The image can stay until a better one of the same or a similar design comes along.--Skittles the hog - talk 10:34, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
