Howling:The Reset Universe and Previous Events: Difference between revisions

:The thing about the cracks is that when they erase something, they only erase that thing itself, not any of the consequences of its existence. This is evident all throughout Series 5 (Amy existing despite her parents being erased, a picture of Rory in Amy's book despite Rory being erased, the Byzantium still being crashed despite the Angel that crashed it being erased, etc.). Therefore, even when the universe is rebooted and the Doctor is erased, all of the invasions that he stopped will still have been stopped. It doesn't make sense logically, but that is exactly the point. That's why the Doctor always thought it peculiar that Amy's house was so big and empty. To help picture it, imagine that you have a carpet. Now imagine if you were to tear a few threads out of that carpet. It would have noticeable gaps where things don't connect, but the carpet itself would still hold together. In this case, you are the cracks, the threads are events, and the universe is the whole carpet. When the cracks erased the Doctor, they erased the Doctor only. Everything in his past stayed where it was and happened as it did, just paradoxically without him there to do anything (although what this would look like to an outside observer is unclear). As for the Doctor's regeneration cycle, it would not be reset by him coming back into existence. Amy remembered the Doctor back into existence as he was, which was on his last incarnation.
