Tegan's Top: Heheheh, yeah. Might explain it all right there, huh? Plus you've got one of the great ironies of Who production...John-Nathan Turner, the producer of the show from the very end of the 4th Doctor's era through it's cancellation with the 7th Doctor...he was a gay man who seemed to firmly believe that the key to ratings success was in sexing up the companions. Wait til you see Peri's attire...
End to Storyarcs: Oh, I know some fans who abhor story arcs, because they feel like it's a cheap trick trying to force them to buy more audios than they really want to. And I was kind of glad they decided to end it in a way...because I rather like having the 8th Doctor and Charley back home in our universe. Meeting history again. Meeting Daleks again. (I *adore* Terror Firma...fiendishly excellent, IMO!) Though I must admit, as awesome as the Next Life's finale was, I was a little saddened we didn't get my own version of the comeback...
Because ever since Zagreus I'd been imagining the universe facing some dire threat, Romana and Leela and the Time Lords and their allies all at wit's end, and then...VWORP!, the familiar police box comes spinning back into our space, just in time to save the day. (I kind of imagined it along the lines of the triumphant moment in Star Trek: First Contact, when the Enterprise comes blasting into the Borg battle over Earth, and the music just SOARS...I can still sing that little fanfare!) Actually, come to think of it...I hadn't seen the new series when I first heard Zagreus, I don't think, but this would've been a really cool way to show the beginning of the Time War. *g* (Of course, then again, I know Big Finish isn't allowed to deal with the Time War, sadly.)
Timeless Idea: My brain goes back and forth. Sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it doesn't. It makes sense that this time wasn't in a 'format' compatible with Time Lord senses or TARDIS temporal coordinates. The fact that the people in this universe wouldn't evolve a concept of time-by-numbers is definitely more of a stretch. I really can't think of a way they could've expressed a universe with no linear progression at all, though. Scherzo maybe comes closest?
