Rassilon

Well, hang on.

Before we get into that, Riley, can we talk about this? Because the whole point of getting a Time Lord was to get their Rassilon Imprimatur nomination for Unnecessary Family of the Season.

It wasn't of Rassilon, so I don't know if it counts.

It

was the Rassilon Imprimatur.

Just because it wasn't of Rassilon, I think it still counts.

But the whole point was to lure a Time Lord, have him imprint onto the time machine.

And there you go.

Oh, God, what was it? The...

The 10th Doctor finale, we have Rassilon saying, you know, cover your faces like the weeping angels of old.

So there's so many ways you could tie them into Gallifrey, if you want.

I mean, you know, they're innately based on some kind of a time travel thing and...

And regeneration, we know now that they get from the Doctor.

Tectane gets from the Doctor because they find this child and it's an alien child.

It has different biological functions and they investigate the biological function and extrapolate and graph that onto themselves time travel we don't really know where that comes from apart from that it's powered by the heart of a dying sun or whatever it is but we don't really know where it comes from we only know that omega and latterly rassilon have somehow engineered it what if At some point in the future, you get a story that doesn't spell it out, but just suggests that Omega and Rassilon and Tectane had been experimenting on weeping angels.

And there's a suggestion that maybe that's where Omega gets the idea for how time travel is going to be capable.

Meanwhile, the Doctor disappears with the new vicar into the temple of Agador to prepare for the final countdown to his truce with terror.

Avoiding an ice passage ambush in the Crater of Needles, like a person possessed and with time running out, the Doctor makes a bargain using the wisdom of Rassilon with the strange visitors that troggs from the vanishing planet Argalis.

As the occlusion closes in, the Doctor rises from the resting place and asks the Vicar, Have you ever seen an Arcturian

mega-chicken?

Best out of sight, out of mind in the dark satanic mills, Doctor.

Chapter 7 Late to the Party Back at the wedding, the return of the Time Lord was greeted by cups of cocoa, apple and plenty of nuts as everyone ate the bait prepared by Marker Boy and the girl who was different.

The Doctor had resorted to desperate measures to leave early to take part in the game of Rassilon.

And then, the game begins with the Time Lords' team Titan going one down.

Whoever had that role.

Many years ago, when the quiz of Rassilon used to be in a pub, they did a bake-off and I made a delegate from the master plan.

And they were going to do another one, but fucking COVID happened and I was going to do the brains in the jars.

I bought the glass jar.

Me old man used to watch Eyes and Dump.

Now, Luke, you said earlier on in the commentary that...

Seal of Rassilon.

You did say that, and you said that you thought these were better than the Gallifrey sets.

Yeah.

I, I, I also really like, like, the seal of Rassilon, the-

I was literally about to say, how do you feel about the seal of Rassilon?

It's, yeah, it's great.

It's just, it's great.

Yeah...

You can just hear, for a little while, not for very long, and I was probably single at the time, I had that horn of Rassilon as like my text message alert.

Oh,

God.

[chuckles]Okay, we looked it up.

The Eye of Harmony has something to do with Rassilon and a star, and I actually think it, they talk about this more next week, so we can have this conversation again then.

[chuckles]

Dang.
