ok. first post, here. i’m the sort who asks the intricate questions, as my netname might warn you. at the end of spyfall, i was asking my roommate these questions: so can the Doctor take a Tardis back to Gallifrey, view the ruins as it is ” now”, then set the Tardis to do a ” rewind” back thru time and the Doc stay inside the Tardis and watch time go backwards, the way we can watch a video or a movie play backwards? could she witness what happened that way? further questions: could s/he rewind Time all the way back to when the Time Lords first became able to time travel? and to regenerate? is there an implied impassable wall at that point because previous to that, they could NOT move thru Time, therefore cannot go back to the time before they could do that? all this is in pursuit of whether the present Doctor can use the Tardis to go far enough back to witness what it was in Time Lord history that involved this Timeless Child, and this Lie the master says he uncovered. can a Time Lord go back in time to before the time lords gained their power to time travel??? i understand being able to go forward, to the end of the universe, because they have the ability from the start of time traveling, on. but what about going BACKWARDS? is there a point beyond which they can not go back? because they didnt have the ability before that?…i’m thinking of how would i approach this if i could do what the Doctor can. i would want to use my Tardis to go as far back as i needed to witness what happened with this Timeless Child and what the founding fathers did, that led to this Lie the Master says has been perpetrated upon all of them. but is that even possible, if there was a Time before Time Lords were time lords? is that time off limits to their race? arre there laws of time that even they are not able to break?
