I agree. I mean, at the later point, I think he had quite simply snapped and was powertripping about Time, but...

and there is the Charley logic, but then, they got away with it for Pompeii. So why not this?

Yeah. He wasn't thinking logically then, but before...

He should know that on the face of it history isn't always what you expect. He's taken advantage of that before!

Logical thought has never been one of this regeneration's strong points, though.

Multiple times! But on the bright side, they really acknowledged at least half of his amazingly epic character flaw? I mean, I wasn't surprised when he snapped, exactly. It was more of, "Well damn, so he finally broke!" moment.

New theory: Eleven pulls a Seven and is in fact responsible for killing Ten to prevent him from becoming the Valeyard! Ten retreats to Six's part of the unconscious and Six ends up kicking him out, which results in Ten bothering Five. Right up until One comes and finds them both. (Actually, considering I swear he got hit on the head in that explosion and is hallucinating all of this shiznit now, that might be true. Sort of like an Oods of Christmas Future moment. Pay no attention to the regeneration behind the curtain!)

This is a point. Still!

Yes, I'm definitely glad of that. I'm not at all surprised from a character standpoint, but pleasantly surprised that RTD finally went all the way there, even if the method was flawed.

...That might actually make me not hate that plot. XD

I know, I know. I think they tried to put a patch on that hole with Adelaide's "Isn't there ANYTHING" and the Doctor going "NO THERE IS NOTHING." Sure there isn't, Doctor.

I also want to know where the Doctor magically gets these edited brain references from. I think he's spent too much time on the wikipedia! (It would be interesting, actually, if it implies that when Time Lords recall events/information that have/has changed, the recall the changed version instead of the version they originally saw while maintaining awareness of the original. Cool way to reference how much your actions have altered history.)

Speaking of character flaws, if this was the First Doctor, he would have gone right back to Mars and picked up a water sample. "And I will break the TARDIS because I want to check out this planet!"

So let it be said, so let it be done!

The thing is, the TARDIS should have a sample of the water all ready, because the little robot thing went through a curtain of water to get to her. I can't believe all of it got off him by the time he reached the TARDIS.

The water realised the TARDIS wouldn't be holding with that shite and ran away?
