As I recall, the Doctor's TARDIS was unregistered (he'd stolen it), so changes made to TARDISes generally might not have been made to that one. --[[Special:Contributions/89.241.68.131|89.241.68.131]] 01:50, August 30, 2011 (UTC) | As I recall, the Doctor's TARDIS was unregistered (he'd stolen it), so changes made to TARDISes generally might not have been made to that one. --[[Special:Contributions/89.241.68.131|89.241.68.131]] 01:50, August 30, 2011 (UTC) | ||
<p style="margin-left: 40px; ">This is now going in circles. Icecreamdif just repeated a suggestion made early in the conversation, and 89.241 has repeated the obvious objection to it that I made (we only know that the Doctor's TARDIS that has the Eye, or link to it, that we're trying to explain, and his TARDIS is the only one not likely to have been modified after TDA). I've already retracted that objection based on rewatching AoI, and I don't want to go around it all yet again. Anyway, at this point, here's where we stand:</p> | |||
<p style="margin-left: 40px; ">From both RTD's writings in DWA, and his comments elsewhere, and from multiple EDA novels, we know that every TARDIS except very early models (ancient even in the days of Type 40s) had a link to the Eye back on Gallifrey, that's what used to power the TARDISes, that's the thing the Doctor opened in the movie (and in the last EDA), and it no longer works for obvious reasons so he uses the link. If you choose to ignore both non-TV sources and off-camera writing and comments by the producers, then all we know is what we saw in the movie; the novel/RTD explanation still works at least as well as every other explanation, but you're not bound by it. --[[Special:Contributions/173.228.85.35|173.228.85.35]] 04:07, August 30, 2011 (UTC)</p> | |||
