Howling:Time Crack is stupid

I mean, come on, cause-less events? This makes absolutely no sense at all, and messes up past continuity no end to boot. EJA 14:51, May 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Plus, time-crack it's time-addictive, and the hit only lasts five time-minutes. Don't time-do time-crack, kids!


 * More seriously, there are causeless events all over the Whoniverse. Every person standing in his own past is a causeless event when looked at linearly. Every pre-Genesis Dalek story is a causeless event even if you take the future into account. Everyone's knowledge of the Time Lords post-LGTW is a causeless event. To some extent, time travel is ridiculous, especially time travel that allows the past to be changed. You can come up with time travel theories that make sense of it, without even breaking what we know of physics (many-worlds branching, two-dimensional time, separate causal and chronological chains, etc.), but if you try to fit it into common sense, you're guaranteed to fail.


 * And as for messing up continuity, the Moff pretty clearly wanted to selectively edit a few events out of continuity while leaving the rest as consistent as possible, and the time cracks are just as good a way to do it as the many episodes, novels, BFAs, and games that did the same thing (starting with Genesis, Day, Remembrance, War, and City of the Daleks). --99.33.26.0 03:50, May 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * How is people's knowledge of the Time Lords a causeless event? EJA 08:02, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
