:And it helps explain how the Doctor can be "late" with the Master. He already visited the Christmas season 2009 in (at least) "The Doctor on my Shoulder" on the BBC website, so it's natural for him to go back there at a later point than that story. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 14:40, January 9, 2010 (UTC) | :And it helps explain how the Doctor can be "late" with the Master.

::Someone just asked me about this (in the context of a someone else's edit changing a 2008-broadcast story to a 2009 setting), and I realized something. | |||
::Although I think RTD did "re-sync" the timeline, the current season doesn't really rely on that at all. The last we saw the 10th Doctor on Earth, he was walking around in 2005. Then, after regenerating, the 11th Doctor was apparently sent backward through time to 1996 as the TARDIS came to pieces around him. Then he accidentally returned in first 2008 and then 2010. No matter how you resolve the 10th Doctor dates, there were two of him hanging around in 2008, and there are going to be at least three of him at least twice in 2012 ([[Dalek]] and [[Fear Hear]], and possibly some classic episodes), so who cares if there are two of him in 2010? | |||
::Obviously any major Earth events that are in the past for Amy and other normal Earthlings matter (which will rarely if ever be an issue after this first season anyway, especially if the big anomalies are removed from history by the cracks or whatever), but beyond that, it wouldn't have mattered if RTD had carried on into 2010. --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 17:36, May 27, 2010 (UTC) | |||
