:: In ''The Deadly Assassin'', Type 40s had recently been decomissioned when the Doctor stole his. So they're not _that_ ancient; they went out of service 700-odd years ago, while Rassilon's time was somewhere around 6500 years ago. Also, a young Time Lady like Romana has no problem with the Doctor's TARDIS, and neither does the Master or any other Time Lord who ever dealt with it, and I doubt that every one of them just happened to be ancient-technology specialists. | :: In ''The Deadly Assassin'', Type 40s had recently been decomissioned when the Doctor stole his.

:: Most importantly, we never saw anyone be surprised that the Doctor's TARDIS was powered by (a link to) the Eye of Harmony; the one and only time it was mentioned on screen was the TV movie, and the Master seemed to treat is as a perfectly natural fact about TARDISes. | :: Most importantly, we never saw anyone be surprised that the Doctor's TARDIS was powered by (a link to) the Eye of Harmony; the one and only time it was mentioned on screen was the TV movie, and the Master seemed to treat is as a perfectly natural fact about TARDISes. So, I'm not sure what you're trying to explain. --[[Special:Contributions/173.228.85.35|173.228.85.35]] 02:47, August 19, 2011 (UTC) | ||
I agree with Gallifrey102. Whenever the Doctor would go back to Gallifrey in the classic series, Time Lords would be amazed that a type-40 still existed, and the TARDIS herself said that she was a museum piece when the Doctor was young. They ever talked about the power source behind the TARDIS in the classic series, and it is possible that most people simply didn't know that it was different from modern TARDISes. If all TARDISes had a link to the eye, then why the elaborate plot of assassinating the Lord President. Why wouldn't the Master just use the eye in his own TARDIS. Just because the power source has been upgraded doesn't mean that the controls have damatically changed, and Romana did have to read the manual. At one point didn't she even mention how flying archaic ships wasn't a required course at the academy? Besides, just beccause the put the type-40s out of service only 700 years ago doesn't mean that they weren't commissioned 6500 years ago.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 04:35, August 19, 2011 (UTC) | I agree with Gallifrey102.

This is why I suspect that the Eye in the Doctor's TARDIS (and possibly other TARDISes) was originally totally separate from the Eye on Gallifrey, most likely a much smaller, artificial singularity. Then, after TDA, when the prime Eye was rediscovered, all mini-Eyes on all TARDISes were linked up to it. [[Special:Contributions/82.2.136.93|82.2.136.93]] 15:11, August 19, 2011 (UTC) | |||
