::You can make up any theories about the objective timeline that you want. But you can't ignore the fact that the show has given us enough "temporal theory" to cover this one. Call it "timey-wimey", call it a loose "progression of cause to effect", call it even the reason the Second Doctor was put on trial. The one thing you can't call it is a continuity error. At the end of the day, the only narrative that really counts is the one that deals with the Doctor, his companions, and their families. That's where our stories happen, and as long as you can trace a logical line between the various stories '''for our companions''', then the world is internally consistent. Indeed, his effect upon the '''objective''' time line is precisely why the Doctor got sentenced in ''[[The War Games]]''. He's a ''renegade'' Time Lord. He creates inconsistencies — change — almost by getting up in the morning.

:::I'm still curious why the Daleks in The Chase didn't know that they'd been instrumental in constructing the Empire State Building, and that the 10th Doctor had interfered, and therefore they probably weren't going to successfully exterminate the 1st Doctor there. | |||
:::Or is that kind of confusion just what they get for messing around with time, just like The Doctor? :) --[[Special:Contributions/99.170.146.147|99.170.146.147]] 09:21, December 28, 2009 (UTC) | |||
