Funny, I remember that on Galifrey one of the Cardinals said "We're giving his TARDIS all the powere we can." I also remember that the TARDIS couldn't dematerialize.... In fact, the TARDIS only worked when Omega allowed it to work. >In "Full Circle" through to "Warrior's Gate", the Tardis functions perfectly >even though there's no possible contact with Gallifrey. What do you mean there's no possible contact with Galifrey? If there was no possible contact, they couldn't have ended up in e-space. Of course, it's never explained how the TARDIS gets its time travel capabilities from Galifrey. Now, since we really don't know how the TARDIS works... >In "Edge of Destruction", the Doctor claims the Tardis' power source >lies under the console. The power, he claims, will escape if the >central column rises too high. This power could destroy the Tardis. It could be the internal power source which gets the power feed from Galifrey. >So it seems that even without Gallifrey the Tardis would function. >(More or less) I still don't think so, especially because of the Eye of Harmony sitting underneath the Panopticon has always been explained as the SOURCE of the Time Lords' power.
