Even observers age & die -- unless they can regenerate. In any case, the description of the Time Lords in ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'' was of the Time Lords '''as they were in the Doctor's youth'''. It's quite clear from other episodes (such as ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'') that they'd not always been observers only. Remember how the Empress of the Racnoss reacted when the Doctor revealed that he was from Gallifrey. ''[[State of Decay (TV story)|State of Decay]]'', among other stories, also established that the early Time Lords fought wars against a variety of enemies & ''[[Underworld (TV story)|Underworld]]'' indicated that the Time Lords had done much more than merely observe the Minyans -- that, in fact, it was partly because their interaction with the Minyans had gone badly wrong that they adopted the "observe only" rule. Once the Time Lords had the ability regenerate, they'd be unlikely to give it up, even if it was no longer really necessary. --[[Special:Contributions/89.243.199.238|89.243.199.238]]<sup>[[User talk:89.243.199.238#top|talk to me]]</sup> 12:02, March 2, 2014 (UTC) | Even observers age & die -- unless they can regenerate.

I'm not sure I understand the question. If your culture had the ability to watch documentaries in all dimensions, you had time travel, etc., you would still want to live as long as possible. And they gained regeneration from time travel. --[[Special:Contributions/104.32.214.184|104.32.214.184]]<sup>[[User talk:104.32.214.184#top|talk to me]]</sup> 21:06, May 24, 2014 (UTC) | |||
