Timey-Wimey Stuff: Some TLotTL thoughts.
I've been speculating about the timey-wimey stuff in Last of the Time Lords. *G*
All right, when the Doctor broke the Paradox Machine it wound back time to the point where it was activated - except at the eye of the storm, the Valiant. The people on the Valiant lived through The Year That Never Was, while for the rest of the world on Earth literally no time at all passed.
So far, so good - but what happened to people who were brought on board the Valiant during the Year Which Never Was?
There must have been some - soldiers. Hostages. Political prisoners. The Master's masseurs/sex slaves. The point is, there must have been some people on the ground when the Master opened his rift in time - who must also have been on the Valiant when the paradox was destroyed. Were there suddenly two each of these people (one, oblivious on Earth, the other having suffered through the YTNW?)
(And suddenly I'm picturing UNIT scooping up these people and holding them in some sort of Black Ops site somewhere...)
