*The Brigadier is fortunate that when he walks to where the TARDIS vanished and tells it to 'come back at once', that it does so in a different corner of the room. | *The Brigadier is fortunate that when he walks to where the TARDIS vanished and tells it to 'come back at once', that it does so in a different corner of the room. | ||
::With the exceptions of 'Logopolis' and 'Parting of the Ways', when the TARDIS is being specifically directed to materialize around someone/thing, the TARDIS never materializes around an object or person, or even inside solid matter. It is reasonable to assume that the TARDIS performs some kind of scan of the area it is about to arrive in and thus deflects its exact point of materialization accordingly to avoid causing damage or harm to anyone/thing. | ::With the exceptions of 'Logopolis' and 'Parting of the Ways', when the TARDIS is being specifically directed to materialize around someone/thing, the TARDIS never materializes around an object or person, or even inside solid matter.

:::: What's your thought being based on? All we have is a trailer, and with [[The Pandorica Opens]] and [[The Big Bang]] being the two-parts of the story, it's likely that the trailers have shots from both parts of the story. Be careful, as I'm not certain you could say "as of", since we still have just under three days before The Pandorica Opens first airs. With that being set aside, there are many times that the TARDIS doesn't exactly work the way it's (theoretically) supposed to. In [[The Time Monster]] when the Doctor tried to land the TARDIS in the office right next to the Master's TARDIS, due to the influence of the Kronos Crystal interacting with the Time Vortex, he caused that weird paradox where both TARDISes were inside the other. I think the more likely reason in this case is that the Time Lords controlled where the TARDIS was going, and likely would control the return trip as well so the Doctor didn't go and escape on them again. So they'd be watching where they would land it. [[User:Gixander|Gixander]] 03:14, June 17, 2010 (UTC) | |||
*Jo's skepticism about the TARDIS being mobile is odd as she saw it dematerialize in the last story. | *Jo's skepticism about the TARDIS being mobile is odd as she saw it dematerialize in the last story. | ||
::In the short time that she has known him, the Doctor has shown little ability to make it mobile when he wants it to be. | ::In the short time that she has known him, the Doctor has shown little ability to make it mobile when he wants it to be. | ||
:::In the previous story, from Jo's perspective, the TARDIS dematerialized...and then rematerialized in the same place. From her viewpoint, it's questionable whether it could move or not. [[User:Gixander|Gixander]] 03:14, June 17, 2010 (UTC) | |||
*If the Master was so ready to kill the Doctor at the end of episode four, why does he use a non-lethal gas when the Doctor goes into his TARDIS? He only learns that the Doctor can guide him into the primitive city after he releases the gas. | *If the Master was so ready to kill the Doctor at the end of episode four, why does he use a non-lethal gas when the Doctor goes into his TARDIS?
