Howling:Will anything else be erased?

Very well ciuld be, and I hope more things are erased. A new world with a fully reset timeline for the Doctor to travel would be simply... lovely. I'm hoping for things to pop up, like "What do you mean, there never was a Harold Saxon?"

Like, the crack starts erasing more and more--feeding on large events in history. Maybe, the year that never was never really was because it also fell victim to the crack? I love the whole time-can-be-rewritten-and-unwritten thing that Steven Moffat does, how time is in flux and can change, history can be changed. Genius. The Doctor's time traveling is changing history, as Moffat has said in the past.

The best example is how The Stolen Earth/Journey's End made it so that everyone knew about the Daleks, canceling out/changing the events of Dalek or sepperating that event to a different timeline. And then suddenly the former event is gone, and Dalek could still happen. Or, it's a retcon of a retcon. Gotta love Moffat's way or doing things!

The Whoniverse is always being pushed and shoved around, split, changed, you name it. The Time War did a do-over on history, too, I heard Moffat say a while ago. I think either him or Russel T Davies said the reason Earth was still where it was - and called Earth - in 5 billion was because of the Time War and how it rewrote time. Like they say, there is no such thing as strict continuity in the show - only time being in flux, rewritten or even unwrittenn

The only things that can't be changed are fixed points... well, even they can be changed. But they're not supposed to be. But can! The Doctor tried to change time (and did a little bit) in The Waters of Mars.

The crack is more powerful, and seems to unwrite things (including people) without affecting the consquences of those events, with only time travelers remembeing because they were outside of the timelines.

Does anyone else want to see more erasing going on? I find the concept of the world being rewritten really cool, to be honest. That world we have been watching, seeing it just... change. Awesome idea. Delton Menace 18:25, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

I hope the events of The End of Time will be erased - the thought of the Master's head on Amy Pond's body is rather disturbing. MidnightCat 20:31, May 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * IMO, I don't like the fact that SM has erased events from history, like the Dalek invasion. It seems to me that 2 good episodes and a story arc were wasted - that very event impacted human history, but now it didn't and will never do, unless in the finale everything is resolved and goes back to normal, erased events back where they should be. However, I thought it was great that SM explained why no one remembered the CyberKing, that bit should stay forgotten. P.S. I agree with MidnightCat >.< The evil dude . 20:32, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * MightCat, her body would have been changed, too... ugh. The evil dude... it only matters that it did happen from the Doctor's perspective, and the perspective or anyone who experienced it and time traveled before the change to history. But what you need to know is, a lot of things change every time the Doctor travels, and we don't even realise half of the time. Just because the impact it had (or, did have, but no longer does) is gone, doesn't change that it happened forever for the Doctor, and will always keep the impact on him.

 * That's a great point, Delton.


 * Also, remember that Jack, Martha (if she ever reappears on TW or in an NSA or whatever), Sarah Jane and friends, and other time traveling participants will remember the events, so they can still indirectly affect the world.


 * But I like the idea of the show being back to the way it used to be: "Don't be silly, there's no such thing as alien invaders" and UNIT desperately trying to keep a lid on things and so on made for fun and believable stories, while "Yeah, everyone knows aliens invade every Christmas, no big deal" makes the Whoniverse different enough from our world that you can't really relate to the stories the same way, and the characters and situations are less believable the longer it goes on. --Falcotron 01:42, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
