Was anyone else somehow both the straight A gifted kid and the badly behaved nightmare child?

For me it depended on the day and my mood

The Night Land at the End of Time

The glimpse we get of the Time War in the End of Time has strong parallels to the dystopian far-future Earth of William H. Hodgson’s novel The Night Land.

In the Night Land, the last of the human race has lived in a gigantic black pyramid known as the Last Redoubt for millions of years. The sun died ages in the past, when human technology opened up gateways that let into the universe a horde of evil forces and monsters intent on destroying humankind, body and soul. These monsters are known by vague but ominous names—the Silent Ones, the Watchers, the Baying Hounds—and they are only kept at bay by the forces and mechanisms that protect humankind in its pyramid. No one and nothing else remains alive on Earth, perhaps even anywhere else in the universe.

In the End of Time, we see Gallifrey on the last day of the Time War. The Time Lords are under siege not only by the Daleks but also by other horrors that were unleashed in the war—the Skaro Degradations, the Horde of Travesties, the Could’ve-Been-King and his army of Meanwhiles and Neverweres—monstrous creatures that have seemingly turned Gallifrey into hell. If Gallifrey were to escape, the horrors of the Time War would escape with it.

But the Time War is complicated. Gallifrey is stated as being at the furthest edge of the War, with most of the battles continuing eternally far off. What does this mean? It means that most of the war is in Gallifrey’s relative past. The Time Lords and their enemies survive at the end of time, continuing to battle one another to the point of stalemate in the hell-world of Gallifrey. But the destruction and devastation of the rest of the universe, of the rest of the war, is still happening in its past.

This is Gallifrey in the time lock, which separated the Time War into a kind of separate dimension or reality. The Doctor ends the war by using the Moment, a weapon that destroys the Time Lords and the Daleks, sealing the war in the time lock and erasing it from history for most of the universe. But what we see of its last days, of the world it had become, besieged by monsters at the end of time, is right out of the Night Land.

(Note: I’m talking about the Time War as imagined by RTD only, not any other writers. Also, I’ve heard the comparison of Gallifrey in the End of Time to Skaro in Genesis of the Daleks, where all advanced technology had been used up. That’s not what I mean here, nor is it what I think RTD intended.)

This one goes right up there with the “it surprised us in the writer’s room” from that TVInsider interview.

Okay. I just want to ask you about your thoughts on the Nightmare Child. What do you think it is?

We never did figure out what happened to Lolita’s baby, did we?
