:Well, I'd like to believe that people like Rory, after they're absorbed by the Crack, aren't TRULY erased from the timeline completely; they just cease to physically exist at that moment, and everything they did prior to that remains unchanged, only other people cannot consciously access their memories of that person due to a side-effect of the Crack. Like a kind of selective amnesia. Honestly, I reckon this sounds far easier to get to grips with than the idea a lot of people seem to have, that after someone's eaten by a Crack, the past consists of those not eaten interacting with an empty space where that person used to be. It's the same with the Daleks in The Stolen Earth/Journey's End - you can't seriously believe, even in the context of the Whoniverse, that after they were absorbed, all those buildings on Earth just blew up by themselves, and people dropped dead in the streets for no reason, or pointed up at the empty sky and screaming in terror!

:These things happen. Poeple think they see things. people have heart attacks, people who never buy lottery tickets win the big prize. It's a funny old world and some days it looks like cause and effect is just an illusion. [[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] 13:32, August 7, 2011 (UTC) |
