The Frozen Gallifrey Appears in "The End of the World" Speaking of the events of "Day of The Doctor," we all know that The Doctors collectively managed to use a stasis cube to freeze Gallifrey into a single moment in time and avoid the destruction of the Time War. Now The Doctor is looking for where Gallifrey may be.
The only problem is that it's in the Tardis and has been since the second episode of the revived series.
When Rose first runs off with The Doctor into the Tardis, Nine can be seen playing with a small glass ball with red coloring. Ten also still has it kicking around when he takes over. If you look closely, you see it's almost the exact same size and shape as the stasis cube the War Doctor had on his Tardis when he and the other incarnations froze Gallifrey. The coloring is now red instead of clear because the moment they captured was a red sky full of Dalek firepower.
Then the War Doctor almost immediately regenerates into Nine, complete with the knowledge that he cannot and will not remember the events because of the diverging timelines. All that's left is the lonely, battle-scarred Ninth Doctor, who when he is nervous seems to drift to holding this mysterious glass ball that appears to have no use but that he can't or won't throw away.
The biggest event in the history of the show, and you can see a glimpse of it from almost the very beginning. That's as wibbly-wobbley timey-wimey as it comes.
