Do I strike you as someone who gives a toss?

I can make any statement I want. Just like you can make any statement I want. Hooray for the internet and "freedom of speech"!

If you "didn't give a toss" we wouldn't be having this... discussion. So yeah, you do.
And you can certainly make any statement you want. That doesn't make it an accurate statement, but you can make it.

I find it funny how you keep prolonging the argument in a vain attempt to make me admit i'm wrong.

Which ain't gonna happen, so you might just wanna give up now.

Wrong again!
At this point, I don't think you'd concede if Tom Baker agreed with me.

I agree with MagnusPrimal. Would you care for a jelly baby?

Ok, to get back down to it...
I just finished watching Series 5 again. Now, is it just me, or in The Big Bang, is the whole escape from the Pandorica scenario just a big paradox? The Doctor gets out when Rory frees him with the sonic screwdriver, but the Doctor can't give him the screwdriver until he's out of the Pandorica. Am I missing something?

You're forgetting that it's a Moffet script. The wibbly wobbly timey whimey rule applies. same thing at the end of the ep. Amy only remembers the Doctor after River shows up at the wedding and she shouldn't have existed in that time line if there was no Doctor. The whole things a bit of a mess.

[MagnusPrimal]

I was just mentally glossing over the whole "The Doctor never existed" idea. That just screws things up monumentally. I thought of River as an anomaly, since she was at the eye of the storm, so to speak.
It's a fun episode to watch, which I credit the cast for, but it falls apart when you think about it too much.
Also, was it ever stated why the Tardis exploding would destroy the universe? Surely one would have exploded/been destroyed during the Time War. Why would this instance be different?

My own internal canon is it's because the TARDIS is so rewired and in desperate need of maintenance and unstable.

Moffat shoots down any return of The Rani

'cause no one will know who she is? Well that's a slap in the face to "old" fans.

Also, who are the Silurians again? Oh yeah ... those little wee beasties that only appeared in two classic Dr Who stories ... but people remember them?

And if you haven't heard, the next season starts next weekend. Unless you're Australian.

Question, for those who know. Is the Doctor Who that's on Netflix the whole series, or just newer or older stuff?
