Fixed points in time sometimes don't make sense.

[Candleicious Ghost]

So can someone help make sense of this?

I'm thinking back to I think the 11th Doctor or could have been the 12th but anyway they showed a clip of a Dalek killing people and then it passed over one person and the Doctor says because they are a fixed point in time, so how does that even work? How would the Dalek not be able to fire its gun at this special fixed point in time person? That scene stuck with me and I have always wondered how that works, was the Dalek confused I mean what happens with it in that situation?

Eh, the whole fixed point in time business was always very silly from the get go. I didn't like it in its introduction ("The Waters of Mars") and I don't think it was ever really utilized well. I usually rolled my eyes and ignored the term whenever The Doctor mentioned it.

Yeah I remembered what scene. It was when Adelaide Brooke was a child during a Dalek invasion it was looking right at her but then ran off and didn't bother with her. None of them tried to shoot her. You see that during The Waters Of Mars
