Proper order!
And if the BBC can keep hold of Disney, or when they agree
something with a new partner, I hope they keep RTD out of
"Doctor Who" going forward...

I do, yes. I didn't really like it. A lot of the fandom at the time did,
but I would have preferred the TARDIS to stay the TARDIS.
A better take (IMO) on the TARDIS being independently active was in
"Heaven Sent." That was a mighty fine hour of television *and* some good
(if unusual) Doctor Who, and the TARDIS took some action while still
being its ordinary, semisentient self.

The TARDIS played no part in Heaven Sent. It was all set inside the
Doctor's Time Dial repeating the same actions over and over again for 4 billion years. Are you confusing it with Hell Bent, and even then the
TARDIS does nothing other than being a TARDIS.

You've obviously never watched the episode. The Doctor never regenerated even once. He died just after he materialised another copy of himself
from the transporter buffer.
It would be an exact recreation of the scene from Dallas where Pam wakes
up from a bad dream as Bobby walks out of the shower. In fact that exact scene will be playing on a TV screen in the background as Clara wakes up
and sees Peter Capladi walking out of the TARDIS.
It can follow on
directly from the ending of Last Christmas reinstating Moffat's
originally planned ending, and erase everything from continuity from
Kill the Moon onwards.
Still have to deal with the Doctor's Wife.

No. Kill the Moon can't work in any universe that could possibly exists
since it violates the laws of gravity and conservation of energy, and
without those laws existing the Doctor wouldn't exist either. He would
have even have even been conceived or loomed.
In that case, The Pirate Planet canât happen in any universe
since the linear induction corridor violates the conservation
of momentum, which canât happen without also violating
conservation of energy, and of mass.

Nope. The Doctor said it worked by neutralising inertia; since the
concepts of physics and telepathy in The Pirate Planet were derived
by Douglas Adams directly from E E Smith's Lensman series.
Since the Doctor left the linear induction corridor with exactly the
same momentum he entered it with there is no violation of any
conservation laws. Neutralising inertial probably requires some kind
of anti-gravity or negative mass, but then so does the TARDIS.
Doctor Who ended in 1978.
No it didn't. If you're going to be like that then it ended in 1963
since time travel except travel forwards in time is impossible.

They won't need to do anything of the kind. No one saw the moon hatch

moon's mass and at the same time replaced the moon with another egg
of exactly the same mass as itself which looked exactly the same as
the original moon with all the laser reflector missions, moon

Inertia is momentum. Theyâre the same thing. If youâre
neutralising inertia youâre literally neutralising momentum.
Thatâs what inertia means.
And the Doctor even confirms that itâs breaking conservation
of momentum later, in his conversation with Romana later.
DOCTOR: No, no, no, wait a minute. The inertia neutraliser. You
know, I think the conservation of momentum is a very important law
in physics, don't you?
ROMANA: Yes.
DOCTOR: I don't think anyone should tamper with it, do you?
So according to the Doctor himself, conservation of momentum
can be violated, even though he thinks it shouldnât be allowed.
Doctor Who ended in 1978.
No it didn't. If you're going to be like that then it ended in 1963
since time travel except travel forwards in time is impossible.
So youâre happy accepting some impossible things but not
others?
Double standards?
Yep. Theyâll have to create AI deepfakes of Mary Tamm and
a young Tom Baker, and reveal how the Key To Time arc really ended!
They won't need to do anything of the kind. No one saw the moon hatch
into a space dragon which then flew away with nearly all of the moon's
mass and at the same time replaced the moon with another egg of exactly
the same mass as itself which looked exactly the same as the original
moon with all the laser reflector missions, moon buggies, golf clubs,
golf balls, American flags, footprints, and moon lander first stages all
still there where they've always been, and all without affecting the
Earth's orbit or climate in the process.
Who says all the flags, golf balls, etc. are still there? You made
that up, didnât you?
There is no suspension of disbelief for Kill the Moon whatsoever.
i to the
That still doesnât mean Doctor Who ended. It just means it
had a disappointing episode. Big deal. In a programme thatâs
lasted as long as Doctor Who, there are always going to be
a few episodes that are more disappointing than others.
Verily, in article <107squ7$2cuph$2@dont-email.me>, did agamemnon@hello.to.NO_SPAM deliver unto us this message:
As in the Moon as an Egg and that the creature is born pregnant.
Pregnant with twice the mass of the moon?
It has Time Lord technology in its biology. It's bigger on the inside.

In that case, The Pirate Planet canât happen in any universe
since the linear induction corridor violates the conservation
of momentum, which canât happen without also violating
conservation of energy, and of mass.
Nope. The Doctor said it worked by neutralising inertia; since the
concepts of physics and telepathy in The Pirate Planet were derived by
Douglas Adams directly from E E Smith's Lensman series.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc, again.
Since the Doctor left the linear induction corridor with exactly the
same momentum he entered it with there is no violation of any
conservation laws. Neutralising inertial probably requires some kind of
anti-gravity or negative mass, but then so does the TARDIS.
Inertia is momentum. Theyâre the same thing. If youâre
neutralising inertia youâre literally neutralising momentum.
Thatâs what inertia means.

From DuckDuckGo
inertia /Ä-nĂťrâ˛shÉ/
noun
The tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest or of a body in
straight line motion to stay in motion in a straight line unless acted
on by an outside force; the resistance of a body to changes in momentum.
Resistance or disinclination to motion, action, or change.
"an entrenched bureaucracy's inertia."
That property of matter by which it tends when at rest to remain
so, and *when in motion to continue in motion* , and in the same
straight line or direction, *unless acted on by some external force* ;
-- sometimes called vis inerti. *The inertia of a body is proportional
to its mass* .
Thank you. It looks like my memory was cheating and I mightâve
been wrong about momentum being the same as inertia.
Never mind. As the Doctor himself once said: âEven I am
occasionally wrong about some things.
