One of the things that I think makes Narvin such a compelling character is that he’s one of the only actual proper time lords we get to see in the doctor who universe. Like we see plenty of other time lords but they’re either renegades (or close enough), have some sort of importance to time lord society/history as a whole, or just aren’t in enough stories to truly get to know
But narvin is really just some guy, yeah he has a high ranking job, but he’s a time lord who (at least at the beginning of gallifrey) holds the same views about the universe as most other time lords. But unlike many other time lords like this he sticks around long enough for us to get to see him grow and change, we get to see his views/ideas/morality get challenged and the consequences of that
I just really like getting to see a time lord who has little to no knowledge about human life and culture that we also get to know on a deeper level than just a side character or someone who’s only in an episode or two

listen gallifrey is a nightmare death planet I have to believe that time lords can be easily converted back into terrifying apex predators if they spend a long enough time outside. like how domesticated pigs will revert to wild ones within a few generations

LOOMING AND THE IMPACT ON THE LEVEL OF INBREEDING ON THE TIME LORD POPULATION, AN ESSAY
And how inbreeding is a big issue amongst the Time Lord population, due to their elitism and strict caste system.

what i’m liking about gallifrey so far is that it’s structured like a sitcom without being one. these are sitcom characters in a serious genre

Wait, is it eventually established how old is narvin/ is he around the same age range as Romana? Not cuz it would mean anything in particular if they arent, just. Trying ot get the vibe

"Jeremy fobwatched Narvin" would at least mean he wasn't actually related to his father so he might take that as a win...
This is a fair and valid point. Although starting with the time war and working backwards, there’s probably quite a lot he wouldn’t consider a win.

Can anyone recommend an Irving Braxiatel crash-course of things to read/listen to? Thinking of making this the year of him, since I'm already making my way through Benny's audios, and have procured a method of reading pdfs at work during lunch. Why not just fully go batshit??

I've started listening to the first boxset of Gallifrey: War Room and...I'm struggling to even make it through the second story. While I do like getting to see Leela shine more (like she did in the previous Gallifrey audios), except taking center stage this time, I do miss the dynamic of the old cast (I’m talking the Gallifrey OT4: Romana, Leela, Brax & Narvin.) It just feels weird without them. I like the dynamic between Leela and the General, and I would love to see more interaction between Leela and Rassilon, but I really don't care for the other characters. I'm honestly left wondering what was Big Finish's thoughts with making War Room? If Leela doesn’t free Romana or do something to bring back her friends or save Gallifrey herself, I’m gonna consider this a wasted boxset.

I'm curious to what type of robes she would be allowed to wear. Like everything on Gallifrey, clothing seems to be linked to rank, even if it is mainly to do with how many shevrons your robes have in classic who. Leela is different - an outsider, but also has the rank of lady. I feel like there's a big debate amongst time lords of whether its worse for her to wear time lord tm robes without being a timelord or to where her home culture's clothing with so much exposed skin. Leela on the other hand doesn't give one fuck. She is cutting the sleeves off robes and suddenly they have the worst of both options.
really the most plausible clothes for leela to wear would be modified time lord robes. like she just nicks some standard robes and cuts the sleeves off to the horror of all time lords everywhere. and rolls with it

So I just watched The Enemy of the World, which is the story where the Doctor is asked to impersonate an aspiring dictator who happens to look exactly like him
Tumblr media
And it absolutely slapped and there's a million super fascinating things about it I've been rambling to my friends but the one that really really got me is the fact that it's very emphatically set in the year 2018, aka now a couple years ago
Tumblr media
I am obsessed with this fact, I need some Doctor Who writer to pick up on it and bring it up. I need something like, the Doctor pulls out a bunch of pictures of their past selves to explain regeneration to the newest companion but then has to leave the room and leaves the pictures there and it's just like
Companion's supporting-cast family member or something: (walks in and sees the pictures) "Hey, who're these people?" Companion: "Oh, they're-" Supporting-cast family member: "Oh wait no I know this guy, he was on the news! Remember, that politician who turns out was keeping a bunch of slaves in an underground bunker? Killed a bunch of people?" Companion: "What?"
And then the companion tries to subtly bring it up around the Doctor to try and figure out if that was him without arousing suspicion but it just doesn't inspire confidence
Companion: "Hey, Doctor, you ever been involved in politics?" The Doctor: (having been the president of both Gallifrey and Earth) "Yeah, why"

I made this post the same day Big Finish postponed the release by two months—but now this post is over two months old…..
I see that we have a subtitle (War Room 2: Manoeuvres), but that is extremely little. alas it seems like Big Finish is releasing story info/cover art/trailers now for August stories, which means it’ll probably be another month (I swear they used to release story info much further out from the release…..)
@ big finish can we please have a bit of info on War Room 2. a cast list. a writers list. episode descriptions. a cover. any of the above would do.
