You've nearly got me curious enough to watch some of this Doctor Who person. ;)
Since I don't know the particulars of this specific story, all I can do is offer you solace in the fact that, traditionally, time-travel and its subsequent altered timelines has been a difficult topic for scifi writers, right? Any reality that can exist, does.
I can imagine a huge whiteboard in the DW writers' staffroom, with a many-branched diagram.
So, your theory must be right! The colliding timelines are wibbly-wobbly, to say the least.
I do hope you get to enjoy some honeymooning, though. :)
It is true I haven't been reading these posts yet,... but the key word is yet! I haven't watched any of it yet so until I do I'm still avoiding spoilers :D You're on my Note-To-Self:Come-Back-To-It list!
Awww, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was spreading the guilt. I love when folks comment, of course, but it's hard with these recent reduxes because so many of my Who friends aren't caught up with watching yet and are thus avoiding these posts like the Black Death.
When you get yourself caught up, GET YE BACK HERE and we can squee together!! I can't wait to hear all of your thoughts on River and Co. And remember...
Not to worry, I didn't think you were trying to make people feel guilty! Just figured I'd let you know why this Who-fan hasn't been around :D (Though, honestly, I haven't been totally thrilled with much in the Matt Smith oeuvre so far. I can't figure out if I'm just being a suck about missing David Tennant or if it's the stories themselves that aren't quiet catching me. I think it might be a little of both, but we'll see once I start watching this last batch of episodes. I've got days and nights worth of tv to catch up on though, I rarely watch more than a hour or two of tv in any given week, unless I get in a real sewing groove and then it's bucketloads of tv. Lots of backlog anyway!)
Yeah, I haven't been sold on the Smith seasons, either, and I'm not entirely sure what it is. There are some episodes that I see and I love ("The Doctors Wife" was absolutely brilliant AND written by Neil Gaiman) and then there are others that I think were disappointingly lame ("The God Complex" was a let-down). I think I've come to like it more mainly because I've become such a River fan and, because she's such a Doctor fan, I've come around. But I still miss my Tennant, even if he was a major Debby-downer in the end - but then, how could he not be?? Poor baby... ;_;
I read them, but don't really know what you are talking about...lol. I have Netflix online, and they have some of the seasons and movies, but I don't even know where to start.
Start at the beginning of new season one with Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor! Then we can Skype and squee over the brilliance together!!!
OK, you definitely don't need to do that. But finding Eccleston's season and the ones following shouldn't be difficult if you have Netflix, and by the time you get to the new season, they'll probably be available through that venue, too. I hope my spoilers haven't ruined it for you!
I'd definitely start with the Christopher Eccelston season, if you do decide to tackle Doctor Who! He was a fantastic doctor, though I'm definitely a David Tennant girl :D
I fell in love with Eccleston, but I think I'm a Tennant girl, too. Gawd, I was so mad when Tennant regenerated that I didn't think I wanted to watch anymore... that didn't last long ^_^
