:::: It makes no sense to say the time crack erased the events of the episode. Think about what that means: The crack eating up The Doctor, Rose, the Dalek, Van Statten, everyone. If the crack ate up the events of the episode, The Doctor and Rose would simply cease to exist, including his past and future regenerations. If the cracks took the whole planet, it would also cease to exist. If it spread further, maybe the whole universe, then there would be nothing left. If it's simply a case of time in flux, the events would catch up and Van Statten would know what it is. Then again, he'd still likely want to keep it down there and get it talking, so maybe the events wouldn't be such a paradox after all. | :::: It makes no sense to say the time crack erased the events of the episode.

:::::How about this: The Doctor travels in time but he is himself a creature that dwells in a linear timeline. Once events have resolved for him, later changes will not make a paradox unless he attempts to revisit them and invalidates an action of his own or that of another time traveller. | :::::How about this: The Doctor travels in time but he is himself a creature that dwells in a linear timeline.

:::The Loch Ness Monster attack was stated as having been simply covered up. The explanation of the time crack wasn't that it removed this story, but was implied to have removed the Dalek invasions of ''Stolen Earth'' and ''Army of Ghosts''. That of course would leave Daleks relatively unknown in 2012. | |||
*The Dalek begs the Doctor for pity. It was established in ''[[Genesis of the Daleks]]'' and other stories that the Daleks cannot feel pity, having no concept of it. | *The Dalek begs the Doctor for pity.

::The Dalek had began to take on Human emotions when Rose touched it, hence why it eventually killed itself. | ::The Dalek had began to take on Human emotions when Rose touched it, hence why it eventually killed itself. | ||
