Talk:The Girl in the Fireplace (TV story)

Two questions

 * 1: Were those clockwork robots, by any chance, Supreme Alliance work? We know from The Talons of Weng-Chiang that the Three Laws of Robotics were not very popular in the fifty-first century.


 * unless the story itself says so specifically, I think we can assume that they had nothing to do with each other. (good rule in general.) remember the hugeness of space or even of Earth for that matter.


 * 2: In the mind meld, Madame de Pompadour MUST have seen the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. How could that not have changed things? - Tawaki 20:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


 * definitely a plot hole which the story itself obviously doesn't address. it doesn't address, leave it that, unless you want to make note of it as a plot hole. 76.24.20.92 20:53, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I can think of a few possible explanations.


 * 1) They didn't really seem to be connected for very long. It would probably take a while to sort through centuries of memories.
 * 2) Neither the Doctor or Madame de Pompadour really had much reason to be looking for those memories, so there's no reason for them to be found.
 * 3) She might not have found the context for those memories, just the events themselves.
