*When Rose is at Clive Finch's house, Clive shows her pictures of the Doctor by himself in various places in history (the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, JFK's assassination in 1963, and at Southampton on April 10, 1912, the day that the Titanic set sail). However, during this episode the Doctor implies several times that he has recently regenerated. You would expect the pictures can't be from the Doctor's future, because Rose is always with him until he regenerates into his David Tennant incarnation and she's not in any of the pictures, and Christopher Eccleston's departure from the series after this season allows no time for these appearances to occur. But if he just regenerated before this episode then he couldn't have visited them in his past, either. However, there are also acknowledged gaps between on screen episodes. In "Boom Town," Rose tells Mickey about places she has visited with the Doctor that are not shown on screen in previous episodes. So Rose could be traveling with the Doctor in all the instances found by Clive, but there is no guarantee that she was standing right next to or near the Doctor when the pictures were taken, so she would not necessarily appear in the photos. Plus, the Doctor could have traveled to these places in between the time when he leaves Rose and Mickey at the end, to when he returns a few seconds later saying "did I mention, it also travels in time?" to create the photos. | *When Rose is at Clive Finch's house, Clive shows her pictures of the Doctor by himself in various places in history (the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, JFK's assassination in 1963, and at Southampton on April 10, 1912, the day that the Titanic set sail).

::Perhaps Rose remembered the photos she had seen, and so when she and the Doctor traveled to those points in time she made sure not to get her picture taken so as not to cause a paradox. (Since she had already seen the photos of only the Doctor.) | |||
