Why can't the Doctor just use the TARDIS to go back in time to the moment after he left and Reinette went to pack and pick her up then? Would that change the future? Would it poke a hole in the time stream? Would it rip apart the fabric of time and space, effectively destroying the universe? Or would it just be too much of a happy ending and the writers wouldn't know how to eventually get rid of her? --[[User:SmokeHeart|SmokeHeart]] <sup>[[User talk:SmokeHeart|talk to me]]</sup> 19:49, April 11, 2012 (UTC) | Why can't the Doctor just use the TARDIS to go back in time to the moment after he left and Reinette went to pack and pick her up then?

Because, as we found in [[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)]], once the Doctor has found that she has died, it's too late to change - it's become fixed, and any attempt to change it tempts disaster due to hubris. For all his travel in time, the Doctor does live his life in a linear fashion.
