There are so many confusing things on Doctor Who. Primarily the paradoxes. Wibbley-Wobbley, Timey-Wimey is a story that will describes the many confusing events in Doctor Who. This first chapter will be on paradoxes. Titles are underlined and descriptions are in Italic. In order to save time and spoilers, I will only describe the paradoxes, how they are made, and a breif conclusion on how they are solved.
Disclaimer: None of this belongs to me.
Paradoxes
Number One: Father's Day
For those of you who have watched the eigth episode in series one, or season twenty-six, would have seen a very confusing paradox.
First of all, Rose wanted to see her dad one last time before he died, so the ninth doctor took her back in time to see him. Instead of just running to him after he died, she couldn't even budge. So the doctor offered to try again. This time, they hid behind themselves, making sure not to let their past selves not see their present selves, but Rose couldn't take it. She raced past her past self, creating the first paradox, and saved her father, creating the second. There is actually another hidden paradox here, the wedding gift that is saved along with Rose's dad.
Creatures similar to a bat/human cross over, or similar to the new version of the Krillitanes, know by no name, start to appear everywhere, and the TARDIS dissapears and is replaced by an ordinairy phone booth. They're like bacteria and sterilize the wound in time by devouring everything. In order to avoid the creatures, people from a wedding, baby Rose, and her parents included, flee into the church, where the ancient wood will protect them.
The Doctor finds that the TARDIS key is glowing, and realizes that he can use it to summon the TARDIS. He tells everyone not to touch it until the process is complete. Rose starts talking with her father, and he comes to realize that Rose is actually his daughter. When he asks how good of a father he is, Rose can't answer truthfully. Seeing them talking, Rose's mom thinks that her husband is having an affair, but he argues and tells her that Rose is their daughter. To prove it, he shoves baby Rose into teen Rose's arms, creating yet another paradox, as the Doctor warned would happen should Rose touch her past self. All of the paradoxes were resolved when Rose's dad kept on noticing the car that should have killed him materialising in front of the church, racing past where it should have hit him, then dissaprearing again. He realises that if he kills himself by running into that car, everything will go back to normal. So he kills himself and Rose gets to hold his hand as he dies, starting the story of how there was a blonde woman holding his hand as he died, the story that Rose's mom told her.
Number Two: Space and Time
This paradox revolves around the TARDIS and takes place in a two-part episode broadcasted right after A Christmas Carol. It is reffered to as Space and Time, Space being the first episode and Time being the second, or Red Nose Day. You can find it on YouTube.
This paradox starts with the Doctor doing minor calculations and alterations to the TARDIS. Below, Rory is helping. Amy wants to ask the Doctor a question, but he refuses. Rory calls one up, and Amy realizes that Rory is helping the Doctor. She accuses the Doctor of not letting her help, though he let Rory. A short argument follows and Amy tells the boys that Rory is just jealous because she passed her driving exam on the first try. He retaliates by saying that she cheated by wearing a skirt. Amy exclaims absractly that the skirt that she is wearing right now was the exact same one she wore on her driving test. A clatter comes from below; Rory dropping something. The Doctor shouts that he specifically told Rory NOT to drop anything, and he stammers, the reason he dropped the object quite obvious. They all pause and look near the door to the TARDIS, where the TARDIS itself has landed. An infite paradox is created by the fact that the TARDIS has materialised inside itself. The Doctor exits the TARDIS and comes through the newly materialized one. He then sticks his hand through the TARDIS door and it emerges out of the other door. Also, if you look carefully, you can see the inside of TARDIS thought the doors. Soon, Amy comes out of the Inner TARDIS. Now we have two Amy's. Complicated? It gets worse.
Amy explains that she came from a couple of seconds in the future because she entered the TARDIS. When someone enters the TARDIS from the door, they emerge several seconds into the future due to a time delay loop. Amy asks herself how she could know that, and she tells her counter part that she doesn't under stand a word of it, she's just repeating what she heard herself say. Now Amy heads to the TARDIS under the Doctor's command, but pauses at the door and asks herself if that was what she really looked like. She answers yes and before you know it... I'll use the Doctor's words for this; "So this is how it all ends; two Amy Ponds flirting with herself."
Amy enters the TARDIS and out pop Amy AND Rory. Rory does the talking this time and says a lot and that the two would enter the TARDIS as soon as the past Amy slaps Rory. The Doctor tells them that they have to stick to established chain of events, else time in the TARDIS would collapse, leaving them with two Amy Ponds forever, then what would they do? Past Rory says "well," and looks at Past Amy. She gasps and slaps him. The Doctor directs them into the TARDIS, but tells the remaining ones to stay where they are. He said he would implode them TARDIS exacly right so that the force of the implosion would force it out of itself, but unless he finds exacly the right lever to control the implosion, they would all die. Amy asks how he would know which one and the Doctor says no idea, but he thinks he is about to find out. A future Doctor pops out of the door and shouts "The wibbley lever!" Past Doctor repeats that and flips a lever and rushes into the TARDIS, which then starts and... drives away (not sure what you call whatever it does, fading maybe...). So, all we can determine from this is that something is gerring the universe, else this paradox would not have a beginning (not sure it does anyway) and there fore no middle or end. How could Amy and Rory say these things by remembering what their future selves said, if that was how their future selves said it too? Who planted that idea in their head in the first place?
OK, so each chapter will consist of two parts, and each chapter has it's own theme. This one is paradoxes. PM or review if you have any things you want me to write down. Next up; creatures.
