I was about to suggest Amazon but holy crap those prices are a joke. Can't you get someone to use the website for you, the download is only £2.99 there...

Probably... If I can convince them that it's not a waste...

I'm ready for the next season. She's coming back, both she's are coming back actually. Though I still wish Jenna decided differently about returning. I know, she's not my favorite Companion. But that ending for her at the Christmas special was damned near perfect and they'll never have that moment again.

Interesting question to pose to you.

I was listening to the audio Persuasion today and it features the 7th Doctor at a point not long before his regeneration. At this stage in his life the Doctor has actively started seeking out trouble (essentially spying on the universe through the TARDIS' monitors), trying to do as much as he can before he regenerates because he feels his successor won't have the stomach to go to the lengths he does. Which I'd argue isn't necessarily true because the 8th Doctor is really being pushed to the edge in his stuff, but that's not the point...

Anyway, also in the audio it's noted that UNIT have the 7th Doctor recorded as his "most dangerous incarnation", which I'd probably agree with. So with all this in mind, it got me wondering what the Time War would have been like if he'd still been around. The War Doctor was a different kind of Doctor for sure, but 7 really wasn't one for half measures.

Seven would have been dangerous, that's for sure. His chess master tendencies and very skilled ways of playing his enemies mean that he can easily take down single adversaries. But against an army? I doubt he'd do very well. He didn't have the stomach for physical violence, and would have been very much an 'officer' like Danny Pink describes. Not that it means he wouldn't do anything, but I don't think Seven would have let the Time War get to that point anyway. As shown in Remembrance, he can set things up before-hand so that villains play right into his hands. He tricked Davros into blowing up Skaro without more that a few trilled r's. I think that, in the Time War itself, Seven wouldn't be so good, but he'd be great at preventing it.

And if this doesn't make sense, it's been a year since I had to write any form of essay

Physical violence isn't necessary when both the Time Lords and Daleks were hoarding multiple time-altering weapons though

Like, he could have easily taken the Moment and manipulated either party into using it.

Have they ever shown the other superweapons they mentioned? Like the Nightmare Child, or The King That Never Was?

Not on screen no. There's a War Doctor novel out that expands on the Time War pretty well though, and while probably not strictly canon it's more than the show will ever do with it.
