So I spent the afternoon catching up on Doctor Who and slowly eating a bag of Sour Patch Kids. As I was sucking on a particularly declicious red gummy kid, I had a thought that blew my mind.
In series 6, the first episode (the Christmas special), The Doctor changes a man's (Kazran Sardick) life in order to save the lives of several thousand people (4003? Or 4073? Can't remember...). Near the end, he brings a younger version of Kazran to see himself as an old man. Now, at first, this seems interesting and alright. But red lights and sirens and screeching hyperactive warning signals exploded in my head as young Kazran and old Kazran moved closer, and eventually touched (they hugged, remember?).
Now why should something like that be so dangerous?
Remember the episode in series 1 where Rose goes back to meet her dad? The Doctor warns her (quite sternly, too) to not touch (or even get too close to) her younger self (doing so would rip a hole in the universe or something). Things go straight from the frying pan and into the fire when her mom, noticing the resemblence of Rose and her child (baby Rose), pushes baby Rose towards adult Rose to show her husband.
Why is it suddenly alright for Kazran Sardick to be interacting and coming in contact with his past self, and not for Rose?
Ideas? Thoughts? Was there some explaination or loophole that I missed? {
