- Forget the barrier. They're TIME LORDS, for heaven's sake. They can
- bloody time loop anybody they don't like. On top of that, they no doubt have
- allies, the ability to build artifacts that can make stars go nova, a healthy
- switzerland-type neutrality, and good dress sense. A mere energy barrier is
- nothing compared to the sheer insanity of tech power that Time Lords posess.
- (Plus, they can always re-route the Doctor to intervene in any affairs
- that have the slightest possibility of endagering the Lords of Time. And don't
- forget, if they are in real trouble, what's to stop them from going back in
- time and picking up Rassilon and Omega for a few days, and letting them solve
- it?)
