Argh see the thing is, I would totally trust RTD to squeeze it into an hour and fuck it up that way. I wonder if he'll be trying to tie up the storylines he brought up and leave Moffat with a cleaner slate, so to speak.Also, I'd always taken Gallifrey as a planet to be destroyed rather than just everything on it being destroyed (but I don't have my Who quotes ready for that, so I could be wrong).
Which would leave going back in time to when it still existed. In which case '..of the Dead' would make less sense. Or well, maybe it would make sense.
Argh, but it would be grand. I'd love to have a Time War special, really, but no idea how they'd do that with the current Doctor incarnation.

Or it would be even more morbid. Dead and doomed and nothing for it! Isn't that one of the lessons we keep getting from Who?
Yeah I was thinking that when I typed that. I see a possibility for something Gallifrey/Skaro/something BIG! mostly because I tend to think RTD likes to bring things full circle and round them up and go out with his baby as it exists done (and I'd like to see Jack as the bridge between the two phases on New Who then, so to speak). He came up with the whole idea of Gallifrey dooming the Doctor's emotional life from before the beginning of New Who, essentially, it is only right and fitting he would bring the arch to an end, in a way, and give his character as he came up with it, closure, and his audience, to a point.
