He revived “the whole flipping universe”, so…
But to understand that loophole, you gotta understand Sutekhs evil plan.
73 yards away from the TARDIS itself.
One name was noticeably absent from that list.
The whole flipping universe.
Okay, so the first question.
The answer is If the writer wants.
But just for fun why dont we say the answer is No.
Second question: Did we ever find outhowthe Master killed off all the Time Lords in Spyfall?
Could he have had help from an ally who similarly loved wordplay-based pseudonyms?
The Death and Return and Death and Return and Death (and Return?)
(How we missthe Chibnall era.)
Now, obviously we cant just bring the Time Lords backagain.
But the Daleks and the Master are always going to come back.
The Time Lords on the other hand?
Well, killing them off before Christopher Ecclestons Doctor turned up was one of Davies master strokes.
But you cant really remove stuff fromDoctor Who.
Not much is a valid answer there were many good reasons the kill them off, as weve said.
But they have had their uses.
In their very first appearance it was fantastic seeing the realfearPatrick Troughton played when he knew they were approaching.
That was the high watermark for Time Lords for a while.
Then in 1976 we finally got aproperlook at Gallifrey with the unintentionally-hilariously-named The Deadly Assassin.
As we walk its halls of power (Does Gallifrey have any other kind of hall?)
Blimey, can you imagine living in a place like that?
The bestDoctor Whovillains (andthe Time Lordsare definitely villains) have always been about Empire.
And they arent about to start calling themselves the Time Ordinary Citizens either.
Time Lords who arent powerful, but sly, and bitter, and all the more dangerous for it.
The Reform Party in giant frilly collars.
And who would they hate more than the Doctor?
The individual who founded, rebelled against, betrayed, destroyed and repeatedly humiliated them?
There is more to this though.
What if, post-Time War, the Time Lords decide to resume that work?
