:::*You have to accept that the POV the story follows is for the most part that of Kazran. He is aware his history is being manipulated, and for the story to work, is comparing the changes. Also, the only physical change shown was to the paining. We don't see the stash of photos or the damages sonic screwdriver "appear" in the present ''nor'' do we see them prior to Kazran unearthing them. | :::*You have to accept that the POV the story follows is for the most part that of Kazran.

:::*Yes, she had a day left. But very little is established as to how long she was out in the Christmases we saw, or that those were the only ones that occured. With out that, the timer could be counting down the interval between each thaw and refreeze, or it could be ticking off a "day" per opening and closing of the unit. | :::*Yes, she had a day left.

:::And one last thing to keep in mind, very little has been mentioned of how or if the cracks, Silence, and "jump start" from "The Big Bang" have re-worked the laws of time. It maybe that the BLE, fixed points, instantanious changes, staying concurrent with others in the time line, etc have all or in part gone out the window. | :::And one last thing to keep in mind, very little has been mentioned of how or if the cracks, Silence, and "jump start" from "The Big Bang" have re-worked the laws of time.

* In the very next scene after the two Kazrans touch, The Doctor discovers that Kazran has now changed so much that the isomorphic controls don't recognize him. This may be the explanation for the lack of BLE. (Alternatively, as we know that a time lord can touch his past selves, it may be that there is some precaution the Doctor could have taken with the younger Kazranto prevent BLE) | |||
