I just wanted to say that I don't see why it couldn't work like that, because after reading this thread and the previous I have to say that the same repeated comments and insults do get a bit annoying.[[User:Awaris34|Awaris34]] 21:32, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Awaris i agree with u about the insults part. This is a forum for discussion not fighting. As for the time travel theory, i have to disagree. If the doctor now travels back in time to Amy's wedding, he'll find that he exists. It's not like he didnt exist before the wedding. He now exists before and after the wedding. It's not time travel you're talking about, it's timeline travel. In other words, in The Big Bang, wedding day, before Amy remembered the doctor, there was not future doctor to come back to the wedding. The doctor then didnt exists throughout time and space, so in that timeline he couldnt possible travel back to the wedding day because he didnt exist in the future. Now after Amy remembered him, he came back to existence in the past present and future, including the wedding day. The timeline where he never existed doesnt exist anymore so he cannot possibly travel back to that timeline.     As for comparing it to what happened in the Big Bang, it's a different thing. The doctor traveled back in the timeline after the tardis exploded. He went back to 102 AD and forth to 1996, and in both times the universe doesnt exist anymore. He didnt go back to 102 where the universe existed. So basically he travelled within the same timeline. Now after Big Bang 2 and after Amy brought him back, if he travels back to 102 AD he'll find that the universe still exists, i.e. he wont find Rory holding a dead Amy :) [[Special:Contributions/91.73.110.108|91.73.110.108]] 11:26, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Well, Thirteenth...ahem, Awaris34...in whatever incarnation you are...It's just kind of sad that you still can't see how irrational and self-contradicting the whole theory is.  And it's more sad to see people keep quoting the situations that are the exact opposite of this situation here and claim that they're similar: TBB Doctor travelled from a time where he/Amy exists to a time where he/Amy exists, but in here, the Doctor travels to a timeline where he never existed and never would have.  I wanted to post a few diagrams but I have been and is still busy with marking exams.  If the show does use anything remotely similar to this, then these are DEFINITELY NOT the justifications that they could use and get away with.  Anyway, I got this great inspiration from another post to explain it so that anyone would (well, at least "should") understand, if you think about this question, you will see how ridiculous the whole theory is: Does it make sense for the Doctor to be able to time travel to the Year that Never Was?  There.  --[[Special:Contributions/222.166.181.209|222.166.181.209]] 12:35, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
