 Hi, I'm a big fan of the new Doctor Who series, and between episodes I've had a lot of time to think about certain things, and I've come to a conclusion that I would like to hear the opinions of others on:

 :If so, The Master didn't need to create a paradox machine out of the Doctor's TARDIS to pull off what he attempted; he needed that to pull off what he attempted without some kind of nasty consequences that he didn't want. The consequences might be something like spacetime being torn apart, or just something like the Reapers eating all of human history--either way, that would ruin the Master's plans, but Davros and Rassilon in the next two finales wouldn't care.
-:If you haven't tried [[VG]]: ''[[City of the Daleks]]'' yet, there's a bit more revealed there. The Daleks exterminate all of humanity in 1963. This wipes out countless "fixed points in time" in one fell swoop, which is exactly what you're talking about. Apparently, the Daleks shouldn't have had the power or tech or something to pull that off. But, thanks to the Eye of Time, they do. Well, the Doctor tells the Emperor that, even if it's possible, it's still wrong, and '''will seriously damage the space-time continuum'''. But when do the Daleks ever listen to the Doctor? So of course he has to stop them.

 :As for Adelaide Brooke, I think all that happened there was that she thought what the Doctor was doing was wrong, and chose to prevent it--of her own free will, not because of some mysterious force that prevents fixed points from being changed--just as the Doctor's done so many times to other would-be history-changers.

 :Wait, if the Daleks wiped all of humanity out in 1963, why is everything fine in the TV series post-1963? The Daleks would have created a new timeline now, meaning the Doctor and Amy no longer exist on the one where the world is living past 1963. Oh, my bloody head.

 ::Play the game, or at least read the plot summary. That's half the point of the story.
 ::Anyway, who said everything was fine in the TV series post-1963? It just took until 26 years for the BBC to notice and cancel the show. :) --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 22:01, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
