- It was my suggestion. Maybe you need two hearts to regenerate. In any

- Well, this is not something I am clear on. If Gallifrey did exist in our
- time, what's stopping a spaceship from just heading on over there and

- there are many renegades who make their presence known throughout time
- and space.
-
- I would appreciate anyone's input on just when Gallifrey exists!
