[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6224631, member: 37579"] It's emotionally relevant but, until the end, not plot relevant. You could have cut every single scene of the Siege of Galifrey / Fall of Arcadia and everything would have continued unaffected. Describing a Time War is hard. Try it. Explain what is, how it is different in those couple sentences you say could have handled it. They didn't even stop to describe what The Moment actually did either, because the actual nitty gritty effect was irrelevant. Plus the "Fall of Arcadia" is not new. It's been referenced a few times. It had been established that there were physical battles in the Time War. And from past comments (such as the 9th/10th Doctor's in [I]Dalek[/I]) it implied the Daleks had a fleet that was in one central location to be burned. Really, I didn't expect to see a full representation of Time War here any more than I expected to see a full representation of WW2 in [I]Saving Private Ryan[/I]. Just a taste. And I don't think it would have been as visually or emotionally satisfying to see the Daleks erasing people from existence rather than exterminating them. [/QUOTE]
