: Sure there is. "Spoilers" is more than about ruining story suspense.[[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] 19:43, August 11, 2011 (UTC) | : Sure there is. "Spoilers" is more than about ruining story suspense.[[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] 19:43, August 11, 2011 (UTC) | ||
:: So your point is… in general, it really is just as bad as two time Time Lords meeting out of order, or crossing your own timestream, but because everyone involved is careful (River's spoiler policy, the 10th Doctor making sure 2004 Rose doesn't get a good look at his face, etc.), they keep getting away with it? I suppose that's possible, but it's weird for the Doctor to be so cavalier about breaking this rule while he's so deadly serious about the other three possibilities. --[[Special:Contributions/173.228.85.118|173.228.85.118]] 03:49, August 12, 2011 (UTC) | :: So your point is… in general, it really is just as bad as two time Time Lords meeting out of order, or crossing your own timestream, but because everyone involved is careful (River's spoiler policy, the 10th Doctor making sure 2004 Rose doesn't get a good look at his face, etc.), they keep getting away with it?

:: Although it's minor, the Doctor refers to this problem near the end of ''Smith and Jones'', when he goes back in time to remove his tie and convince Martha he really can travel in time. From memory, what he says is something like: "Crossing into established events is strictly forbidden -- except for cheap tricks." It may be that the Doctor's seemingly casual attitude is because, as a Time Lord, he knows what he can and can't get away with. --[[Special:Contributions/89.242.67.61|89.242.67.61]] 14:30, August 12, 2011 (UTC) | |||
