    Yes, but if Adelaide hadn't killed herself, the timeline would've remained altered. The potential was there. For a moment, it WAS changed.

    Her death was a fixed point in time, the Doctor, in his arrogance thought he could change that and control the laws of time.
    He was wrong.

    Besides, END OF THE UNIVERSE and no Time Lords? Think, people, think!

    I agree that stories are more important than ramming a message down our throats. The end of Listen needed more thought put into it. I actually would've loved it if the TARDIS materialised next to a guy in a leather coat who's catching a few hours of sleep during an adventure...

    And who would that be?

    I have a set of Ethernet Over Power boxes on their way though, so I'm hoping that will be an improvement over the Wifi...

    Regards to 12's waking comment about the Sontarans... Pretty sure it was reminiscent of The Time Warrior...

    By the time we finally got to the end of the Universe, and the Doctor revealed his intent to stick around to see what it was that had frightened Awesome [sik] Pink, I felt like we needed this to be a two parter, to actually make the rest of the story have taken us on this journey for a good reason...

    Instead, they wrapped it up rather disappointingly in 10 minutes...

    Of course... those 10 minutes included a trip to Gallifrey! but as noted (probably), what the hell?! Gallifrey is Time Locked... Not just present Gallifrey... or else the Daleks too would just nip back and lay in wait under the Doctor's bed...

    The concept really was interest, but the execution like far too many modern WHO stories, bogged itself down in companion banter instead of telling us a good ****ing story.

    And my wifi's pissing me off, making it very hard to enjoy viewing these new series episodes, which is in turn making it hard to get into Doc12...

    First world problems... I know.

    And didn't #10 say to Martha that he used to have a family, either as him being part of his family or his family that he more or less abandoned on Galifrey....

    Did they send them to Gallifrey??
    See, this is the ONLY issue I am discussing/arguing with you.
    Gallifrey stands alone as the first species/race to master "time" and it makes sense that they could, or indeed would prevent meddling into their own time by some means. This is why I wonder exactly what enforces the laws of time. In the "waters of Mars" the Doctor deliberately messes with a fixed point in time because he believes that as "time lord Triumphant" he has the RIGHT to do so, yet causality or "time's nature" re-establishes itself when Adelaide kills herself. (which is somewhat echoed in "the wedding of River Song")
    So, who is in charge of the laws? Is it the Time lords, or is it just a force like Gravity?

    As to sending past doctors "once more into the breach", they did it in "day of the Doctor" and even got the future ones angry eyebrows along for the ride

    Hm, you're right about the sky... and I guess having it off-planet would make sense.
    To my knowledge, the doctor has never said *where* he was born (assuming he was not "loomed"). Hell, I was born in a hospital, lived in one suburb for 7 years, and lived in another 21 years, which one did I "grow up" in?

    I have a theory that the Doctor and river song had a baby. Whom of which is Danny Pink. Who then later met up with Clara for their drink date. It could be plausible...because of what they did with Amy and Rory's child. It could happen. It would make an interesting episode to watch. And Orson Pink said that time travel ran in his family. It would only mean that his parents could be the doctor and river song.
