[QUOTE="Sutekh, post: 5683480, member: 16863"] Actually thats wrong re the Valeyard. The season long series Trial of the Timelords ( or rather the trial component) is actually set on a Space Station. Assuming it was orbiting around Gallifrey at the time (and we dont know either way on that one), it would of got locked. If it was located in deep space, maybe not. The Valeyard was a personification of all that was 'evil' within the Doctor and was taken from between his 12th and final regeneration. So that for me dosnt make it certain that he actually is the Doctor.. However he is trying to get the Doctor's Regenerations which does to me make it seem that he is a regeneration. Robert Holmes never really dug too much deeper into this subject making any further speculation problematic at best. Im even going to go out on a limb here and state that the Valeyard will never be mentioned again in Dr Who. The current audience will have little grasp of who the Valeyard is or what his importance is to the story. In regards to the Matrix, this has been depicted several times over the history of Dr Who. Its first appearance was in Deadly Assasin where the Doctor entered it .. here it was said to be the combined knowledge of past timelords downloaded into the Matrix. What it was in this case was a simulated reality generated by the person interfaced with it.. in this case Chancellor Goth In Arc of infinity, the Doctor is 'trapped' inside the Matrix by Omega and again later the Doctor enters the Matrix to find another simulated reality devised by the Valeyard. The Doctor has however never downloaded the matrix.. and that probably isnt possible even with some Dr Who logic thrown in. [/QUOTE]
