Yeah, hubby at one point commented "She's had her teeth done" and she certainly did seem to have that very even, too-perfect American-style teeth thing going on. More and more celebs get that done these days so...sigpic -
I don't like to think of these little things as plot holes really....Originally posted by The_Carpenter View Post
One of the things about time travel in the Whoniverse is that certain events in history are immutable (ie: Pompeii) while the rest is in flux and it's only the major events that seriously alter history. I rather liked--and thought it appropriate--that for the most part history managed to figure out how to move on without the Doctor's help."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After LifeComment

Woah!! What an enthralling installment! And it's only just beginning! Just goes to show how screwed we'd all be without the Doctor, or more specifically the Doctor and Donna Noble.
As for the apparent "plot holes" with past events, one cannot assume the outcomes of those events when a key player is missing. Just because the Doctor wasn't there to stop the Carrionites, for instance, doesn't mean the events would play out for the worst. Other factors come into play that can in turn affect the outcome. Therefore, I don't believe that the aforementioned inconsistencies are valid.
I agree with all the fans out there that it was great to hear the TARDIS cloister. Icing on the Bad Wolf cake! I'd also like to point out the uniqueness of this episode in being a clipshow but also one of the best episodes this season.
As for next week, the spin-offs come spinning back, and it's gonna be one hell of a showdown in what looks set to be the biggest season finale yet!sigpicComment

great episodesLast edited by Madeleine; 22 June 2008, 09:47 AM.People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint... it happens to kinda look like the name 'Jeremy Bearimy' in cursive English.

I was referring to the style of orthodontistry popularised in the US and in particular by US celebrities (and more and more popular with UK celebs) where the teeth are completely redone (if I remember correctly what I've read somewhere, often to the point of every tooth being filed down and capped) to give a perfectly straight, regular, and (to a British eye) sometimes unnatural-looking appearance.Originally posted by DigiFluid View PostsigpicComment

Hollywood maybe, but I don't think I've ever seen any regular off-the-street Americans with too-perfect teeth.Comment

Indeed though someone on DWF came up with idea that the problems that ten couldn't solve (on account of being dead) got delegated to previous Docs as the timeline rearranged....Originally posted by Reefgirl View Post

I love this explanation... just for the fun of having past Doctors having those adventuresIt doesn't quite fit with my ideas if how time travel works in the Dr Who universe, but it's worth considering -- Maybe, it was PREVIOUS INCARNATIONS of The Doctor.
Imagine, in the original timeline, the Fourth Doctor landing in London, March 1600 & having a quiet look around, watching a play, having a cup of tea, and going off about his business.
Now imagine him, in the revised timeline, landing in the same period & finding England over-run by Carrionites. "Oh deary me, " he says, "I'd best do something about this"...
Just a thought!
A word of advice... there are creatures that live between this dimension and the next, fiendish creatures that feast on the suffering of an entire world to satiate their eternal hunger. Support the Gateworld Cantina or suffer the fate of all who fall into the clutches of the 'Eladrith Ynneas'

And the Guardian journalist. I expect there would have been an american journalist make the same sort of investigation, sooner or later. If they were slightly more competent than the Grauniad's reporter, they might have had the same effect.Originally posted by Mr Prophet View PostLast edited by Madeleine; 22 June 2008, 09:57 AM.

Maybe this is me being too nerdy here but that would acoount only for some of the stars because:Originally posted by Empress Vajnraa View Post
1. How do you explain the vanishing of quasars and oter galaxies. The Daleks might be good but they are not THAT good especially not that fast.
2. Also the light from most of the stars is light from stars that do not even exist anymore, the light is from galaxies and stars that existed at the dawn of the universe, when it was just forming after the big bang, the stars themselves are probably already gone and have colapsed either into planetary nebulas, white dwarfs or black holes, so how could such light vanish.
There must be another more fantastical explanation. Maybe

At least that was we could at least use a bit of science in a more far fetched way - call it my funky way of putting a bit of m-theory and the theory on dark matter and dark force LOL

Following on from that theory, it could be an effect of the Time WarOriginally posted by huntress View PostComment
