Dr Who-Comic Relief March 18th!! (spoilers!)

^
But, ahahaha, here we are discussing it like it matter, but, ahahahahahaha, we're all idiots because it's just a piece of fluff!

Hey, I've got a good one! Ahahaha, you know Doctor Who right? Ahaha, it's just a TV show!

You really need to chill. Just a suggestion.
 
Paradoxes, time delays, duplicate pas selves intrudin on the future, and Moffat at his best, just like with Time Crash, in the sense that The Doctor only knew what to do because he saw himself do it in the past, and not actually learning how to do it (as in time crash and somewhat here also), because he doesnt need to, he has already seen himself do it in the past. Wibbly Wobbly, Timey wimey.

It's a little bit different though. In "Time Crash," I got the sense that the 10th Doctor wasn't doing anything that the 5th Doctor wouldn't know how to do, it's just that previous knowledge of what he already did allowed him to do it faster than he would have otherwise.

In this one, it feels like a bit of a cheat since, although the Doctor could give him the answer for what he did, he still wouldn't really have any way of knowing that it was the correct answer.

Still, it's just enough fun that I don't care. I especially liked the exchange between the 2 Amys:
"I don't understand."
"Yeah, you still don't."

Rory wears goggles. Goggles are cool.

Sadly, I think Amy flirting with herself was just pure narcisism and nothing with any real slash potential. :(

Unless it was one of those "tip of your tongue" things and he just needed someone to remind him.

There's always slash potential! :p The true sexuality of a character never stopped a slash writer. Besides, even though she is straight I happen to think Amy would still do herself as an expression of pure narcissism! ;)

He knew it was the right solution to the problem because his other self would only have been able to come back and tell him what to do if it had worked.
