Is this secret photoshopped? Or did the pictures come that way?

Because bravo, either way. :D

[(Anonymous)]

It was in DWM itself a while back, I'm pretty sure. But, of course, it had to have been photoshopped by someone, unless they managed to send a 21st century edition of DWM back to the 70s.

[(Anonymous)]

Time travel, baby. :D

Maybe he collects all the stories about himself he can find and doesn't make any effort to find out which ones/which versions are real.

[sagelazarus]

I am particularly fond of this. Alternately, he never actually reads them.

[brynspikess]

I liked it when he said the Melody Malone book just "showed up" in his jacket in one ep - I like to think that the TARDIS has all these stories in one section of her library, that she may or may not share with the Doctor at any given time. ^_~

[sagelazarus]

Hahaha YESS

The TARDIS is a sneaky, sneaky girl with too many tricks up her sleeve

[brynspikess]

After all, it's kinda canon if you squint at it. The TARDIS said herself in "The Doctor's Wife" that she has all the different control rooms archived, even the ones that haven't existed yet, since she exists on a different kind of time-plane as the Doctor. So it's totally possible for her to have anything and everything about him in her library and not necessarily tell the Doctor until/unless he needs to know.

[sagelazarus]

Yoss, yoss, YOSSS

I was thining much the same thing, really! I adore the metaphysical connotations brought forth by that episode.

[(Anonymous)]

If you'd like an explanation for how he manages to avoid it most of the time, keep in mind that the Doctor is temporally sensitive. The show doesn't give us all that much information on how it works, but he's got a whole extra level of sensory perception which revolves around timelines- so he can sense when he's about to blunder into something which would reveal information about his own future, and he tries to keep away from it. Also, I'd say the TARDIS probably has something to do with keeping him out of that sort of trouble (keeping him in every other sort, mind, but it does seem like the TARDIS hates paradoxes)

[(Anonymous)]

That's really a Nu!Who thing tho they never bothered with that kind of overexplaining (and failing at it hard) in Classic Who. Exhibit A The Five Doctors. Exhibit B The Two Doctors.

[(Anonymous)]

IIRC time senses were mentioned by name at least once or twice in the Classic series. City of Death, maybe? The Five Doctors and the Two Doctors prove my point better than they prove yours though, don't they? The Doctor was sensitive enough to the temporal instabilities caused by something happening to one of his previous selves that he fainted. So, obviously, he can feel it.

Besides, even if it was only in New Who, New Who canon is just as canon as Classic Who canon. It doesn't count any more (as some people seem to argue), but it doesn't count any less either. Especially in cases where the New Who line doesn't contradict anything stated before, just adds in something new. Doctor Who is constantly changing and evolving, and it's silly to rule something out for being too recent.

[intrigueing]

Yup, this.

Actually, the entire idea of continuity counting "more" and "less" is somewhat ridiculous given how many times Classic Who has completely contradicted itself over the years in order to make innovations -- most of them good and thoughtful and responsible for stopping the show from stagnating, and some of them...really dumb *cough cough* cybermendyingwhenhitbygoldcoins *cough*

[blueonblue]

That's a great picture.

[riddian]

I figure the TARDIS keeps track of that kind of stuff and that's part of why he's always ending up a century off or on the wrong planet or whatever--she's steering him away from possibly interfering with his own timestream. As well as, you know, conveniently plopping him down someplace where people need saving.

[sagelazarus]

She does take him where he needs to be, after all. I'd wager not running into his own face is where he needs to be most of the time.
