Rose merely brought about The Ninth Doctor's regeneration into The Tenth Doctor whilst vaporising the Emperor Dalek and his brethren.

Hmmmmmmm...

Clara Oswald Veritas. And I don't understand MasterPWN's problem with this, citing an extra-universe event in "The Doctor's Wife", where the TARDIS was mischaracterized as a sentient biological being. The TARDIS always was and always is a self-aware appliance, and a malfunctioning one at that, one that was repaired as machinery a good number of times during the run of Old Who. Even Hartnell's Doctor added machinery to it from the get-go. A malfunctioning biological entity would = insanity.

People with a grasp of time travel basics already know that what was entered into in "The Doctor's Wife" was a parallel pocket universe, no more and no less. Entering that pocket universe with Clara in "Hide" wasn't the first time the Doctor ever found himself in one, either.

By the way, MasterPWN, I happen to be a TARDIS navigation instrucor, FYI.
