If you look at the progression from "Genesis of the Daleks" in 1975, all the way to "Remembrance of the Daleks" in 1988, the Time War is a logical extension of all that.
The specifics of which only exist in RTD's mind, though.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Are there other series in between those two that you'd consider a part of that progression, or would watching those two cover it?

Man, I really need to get with my backstory. Wish we still had Netflix.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Thanks guys. I'd been assuming that RTD (in Daniel's references above) was merely calling back to existing canon. I'd no idea he'd made it all up.
I forget when I found that out, but it was so odd to find out. Because although I do have vague memories of watching the Eighth Doctor movie, Nine was really my true introduction to Doctor Who, and the Doctor as a character was so defined as being the Last of the Time Lords following the Time War, I couldn't imagine how the character could be as interesting in previous incarnations.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I was a huge Doctor Who fan when I lived in Madison. They ran marathons every pledge drive because the whovians were the biggest contributers. I saw some of all of the doctors up until the guy nobody liked...number 7 maybe? I saw none of McCoy except in the movie with McGann.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Could it be Colin Baker? Frizzy hair? Bad regeneration? Horse's ass?
He has claimed that the producers *wanted* him to be that way.
He has softened a bit with age, I've noticed. Like someone's grandfather.

Yes, Colin Baker was the one noone liked! I wish I had caught more of the new series but I'm looking forward to catching up on BBCA's airings.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am bummed that I forgot to watch Mega Snake before I went to DragonCon. Not only was Shanks there, but Feedback, who won the first season of "Who Wants to be a Superhero?" was also there, and had a cameo in the movie.
(I got a Fat Momma comic.)
