- On the other hand, the Trial could have been in the Valeyard's own time.
- In other words, the Valeyard didn't go back, he brought Colin Baker
- forward. This would explain how they could take evidence from Colin's
- future -- it was their past.
-
- As for why they picked the sixth Doctor from that particular point, well,
- perhaps shortly after "Mindwarp", the Doctor figured out that the Time
- Lords had moved Ravolox. They grabbed him just before that point and
- deleted his realization from the Matrix, to help with the cover-up.
-
- Purely hypothetical evidence, of course...
