The Time War is a central and transformative concept in the Doctor Who
universe, reshaping the character of the Doctor and the fabric of the series
itself. Introduced as a narrative device to explain the Doctor's mysterious
past and justify the absence of the Time Lords and Gallifrey in the revived
series, the Time War has evolved into a rich and complex mythology that spans
time and space.

1. Origins and Catalyst:
The Time War is depicted as a cataclysmic conflict between the Time Lords
and the Daleks, two of the most powerful and technologically advanced
civilisations in the universe. The war is said to have been triggered by
the Doctor's actions, particularly his involvement in the Last Great Time War.
The exact origins and catalysts of the Time War remain shrouded in mystery,
adding an aura of intrigue and foreboding to the narrative.

2. Temporal Warfare:
As its name suggests, the Time War is not just a conventional conflict but
a war fought across time and space, with both sides using time travel
and temporal manipulation as weapons. This aspect of the Time War introduces
mind-bending concepts such as time loops, paradoxes, and alternate timelines,
adding layers of complexity to the narrative and showcasing the full extent
of the Time Lords' temporal powers.

3. Devastation and Loss:
The Time War is depicted as a devastating and apocalyptic event, with entire
civilisations erased from history and countless lives lost in the crossfire.
The Doctor is portrayed as a haunted and guilt-ridden figure, burdened by
the weight of the atrocities committed during the war and the role he played
in its escalation. The Time War serves as a source of trauma and remorse for
the Doctor, shaping his character and motivations in profound ways.

4. Absence of the Time Lords:
One of the most significant consequences of the Time War is the absence
of the Time Lords and Gallifrey from the universe.
The Time Lords are portrayed as a morally ambiguous and enigmatic race,
capable of great wisdom and power but also prone to arrogance and hubris.
Their absence creates a sense of mystery and longing in the series,
as the Doctor searches for his lost home and grapples with the consequences
of its destruction.

5. Time Lock and Temporal Stalemate:
In order to contain the destructive power of the Time War, the Time Lords
initiate a Time Lock, sealing the war within a fixed point in time and space.
This Time Lock prevents any further interference or time travel-related
shenanigans involving the Time War, effectively trapping the conflict
in a state of temporal stalemate. The Time Lock adds a sense of finality
and inevitability to the Time War narrative, emphasising the futility
of trying to change its outcome.

6. Mythology and Legacy:
The Time War has become a foundational element of Doctor Who mythology,
shaping the narrative landscape of the series and informing the backstory
of key characters and events. It has inspired numerous spin-off stories,
audio dramas, and novels exploring different aspects of the Time War
and its aftermath. The legacy of the Time War continues to loom large
over the Doctor Who universe, influencing the actions of characters
and the direction of the series.

In summary, the Time War is a pivotal and transformative concept
in Doctor Who, reshaping the character of the Doctor and the narrative
landscape of the series. It serves as a source of mystery, trauma,
and mythology, adding depth and complexity to the Doctor Who universe
and inviting audiences to explore the darkest corners of time and space.

The Time War was triggered by the Doctor’s involvement
in the Time War?

I'm not sure I bought in to all that 'Last Great Time War'
stuff. It just seemed to be a catch-all label to conveniently
explain stuff without actually explaining it. So now whenever
there's any contradiction in the show = Time War!
