Excerpt: For one thing, it doesn't make sense. This story, it's nonsense, it's stupid. It's a romantic fiction imposed on a culture that emphasises undeniable mathematical truths. Sure, Time Lord, it has a nice sound, and all that business about the children gazing into the vortex, big elaborate costumes and you can't help but wonder how long it would take to extract your lover from all that fabric, but at the end of the day, we're talking about a xenophobic technocracy with a strong emphasis on social duties. They just don't do that.
On the other hand, there's a war on. Or maybe it hasn't started yet. It's hard to say. But people do strange things in war, this is a universally accepted fact that can be used to explain away any old oddity, from genocide to a secret marriage between the Gallifreyan president and a nameless renegade.
