I'm really sad they didn't talk about Donna. This episode is really where you see just how much she's changed. She had so much compassion for the people of Pompeii, trying her hardest to save them and even refusing to leave unless the Doctor did something. And then compassion for the Doctor having to make that awful desicion to kill 20,000 people, and shares the responsibility of those deaths with the Doctor. The Runaway Bride Donna only cared about what she wanted. This episode blew me away in terms of acting, the scale of the story, morale dilemma, emotional impact, the effects, and the development for Donna. It was the beginning of me falling in love with her and her becoming not just my favourite companion but one of my favourite characters ever.

Plus it's such a good opening for the Doctor's and Donna's relationship. Also, I love how these seasons always set stuff up right from the beginning.

A fixed point in time in Doctor Who is basically an event or series of events that had a massive impact on history, and changing them would in some way drastically alter events in the future. Altering a fixed point in time usually ends up being impossible somehow, and if it is altered will have massive repercussions for the timeline, which sometimes results in the Reapers (the flying things from the Father's Day episode) coming in to play.
@CJL-ib5ee6 жыл бұрын

It's more simple than that. A fixed point is an event that the doctor already know about. He can not change it because it would cause a paradox. He can not know about it if it never happened. So it must happen or at least be close enough to match what he already know about the event.

I think what makes something a fixed point is that if its widely known as a fact of history. So the whole world knows that Pompeii was destroyed, so it has to happen. Most of the adventures the doctor gets into involve relatively small scale effects and amounts of people, so that's when something's in flux. Basically, the more people who know about an event, the more "written in stone" it is.
@mjm30916 жыл бұрын
diddyknux Also it depends of how big of the event it is and what caused it I think. Vesuvius had to erupt - and if all those people hadn't die - their children could change history too much. Also if they didn't die then - volcano still would explode in later years. And the last thing is that it was an important eruption - it inspired movies, stories, art and other stuff. It is pretty much the most known eruption in the human history nowadays. It is like that episode with interstellar captain that inspired her granddaughter to become even bigger astronaut. You probably could rewrite fixed points, but they are known to be so important for the history that time lords aren't allowed to change those moments.
@leucome6 жыл бұрын
It's more about the time traveler memory itself. If the time traveler already know what happened he can not go back to change it because it would for sure change is own past (the moment were he learned what happened) So it's not limited to big event it can be any event a time traveler already know about.

You see, the thing that a lot of people get wrong about _Doctor Who_ is, a paradox and a Fixed Point in Time are *not the same thing!* What you describe is a simple paradox, where executing a certain action in the past negates the reason you went back in time in the first place, thus creating an inconsistent loop, aka a paradox. _[Side note: consistent loops, also known as Stable Time Loops, are of course not really a paradox and thus no problem in the Whoniverse. See "Blink", as a famous example.]_ A Fixed Point in Time is what +[DextroDNA] described elsewhere in the Comment Section, where changing an event has such massive ripple effects on the rest of Time that Time can no longer adapt to said effects, and is instead torn apart. A lot of Whovians have wondered over the years why we never saw the Reapers from _Father's Day_ again, when there were clearly Fixed Points in Time being altered in other Episodes. The reason, obviously, is that what Rose did in _Father's Day_ was create a paradox, not alter a Fixed Point in Time, and nobody else ever created a non-Fixed Point paradox in Episodes after that. Because, again, *(normal) paradoxes and Fixed Points are not the same thing* .

It hammers home the last words she said to him in the Runaway bride about how he needs some one, to find some one, how the Doctor isn't fully himself with out a companion to bring out the best in him. It highlights Donna's compassionate nature (he greatest trait imo), to me Donna will always be one of the companions who cared the most.

Did you know that, if Elisabeth Sladen hadn't died before SJA Series 5 finished filming, the final story of the season would see the Trickster return for his final battle with Sarah Jane? Basically the story, titled "The Battle of Bannerman Road", would reveal that the birth and odd nature of Sky (Sarah Jane's adopted daughter and Luke's sister, introduced that season) was really manipulated by the Trickster in order to turn her into his pawn and allow him to regain his power; he would subsequently warp reality, turning 13 Bannerman Road into a castle which he ruled over, and Team SJ would need to stop him. In the conclusion Sky, having the Trickster's powers would break free of him and they would fight, whereupon Sky would permanently destroy the Trickster and gain his full powers and with them, she would take his place as a "higher being" in the pantheon he was a part of (preserving the balance of power in the universe or something like that). There are of course other ideas that RTD couldn't make due to Sladen's unfortunate passing (including having Sophie Aldred reprise her role as Dorothy "Ace" McShane in Series 6), but that one stuck out for the unfortunate lost potential of concluding SEVERAL story arcs (the Trickster granted was a loose antagonist, and his nature was vague enough, but still I would have liked to see his stint as Sarah Jane's archenemy resolved as it was planned to).

One massively underrated thing about this episode is that it's him making the "Time War" decision again, with a big button infront of him. There's been a theory that each regeneration of the Doctor is like "adapting" to do the things the previous one couldn't. We saw in Eccleston's final episode that he couldn't push the button to wipe out earth and the Daleks, even to save the universe, because of the decision he made in the Time War. With this episode we see that Tennant is ready to make that trade again (we also see him willing to do it again in the 50th anniversary).

A fixed point in Doctor Who is an event that has a huge impact on the future, that is especially susceptible to butterfly effects I guess. When something does mess with them the Universe tends to find a way to compensate to make sure they still happen, which I guess takes less energy than rewriting huge portions of the timeline. Maybe that's what redirected the Doctor to Pompei instead of Rome.

Wilf was the same character in Voyage of the Damned. He mentions it briefly in Turn Left, how he was "supposed to be selling papers" in the city when the ship crashed.

I've seen this episode twice, one time before and one time after I visited Pompeii. You really look at it in a different way after you see what happened there. When I was in Pompeii it was an impressive sight, but this episode made me think about what must have been going through the heads of the people there. They're just going about their day and then BOOM... the Vesuvius explodes. I didn't think about how they must have felt during those moments until I rewatched this.

The thing is doctor who sometimes has the hints that’s reused actors are still playing their future roles when Peter was revealed as the doctor one of the directors dropped. Hint saying that he was playing the doctor but hiding in Pompeii or re visiting something it’s the same with Amy spoilers ( ;) intended reference ) she dies there was a theory that she managed to find a way through time to visit the doctor that’s why in this episodes she gives him looks

As we were meeting Donna's family again we should have seen both her mother and father, but the actor who played her father in the Christmas episode had since died, so they took a previously seen unnamed character and wrote him into the series as Donna's grandfather. Bernard Cribbins, who plays Donna's grandfather, is a legend of a British actor. He is currently 89 and still working.

You guys were saying how you wondered if the Doctor ever "fixed" something but ended up causing disaster further down the line because he "fixed" it, and actually that's exactly what happened in season 1 with Eccleston's Doctor. He thought it was odd that Satellite Five was running on old technology, that the human race should have advanced further at that point, and with further snooping he found the Jagrafess and stopped him. But when they came back to it 100 years later it was the Game Station, run by the Bad Wolf Corporation; Lynda said that 100 years ago was when it all went wrong. The Doctor actually had a little moment where he looked out a window at the Earth and said "I created this world..." So it has happened before! And I'm sure it's happened plenty of other times, too. The Doctor is just endlessly running around the universe fixing his own mistakes.

Regarding your discussion on sonic devices, the appearance of the one owned by Miss Foster was included to give the viewer some doubt regarding the origin of the one River claims the Doctor gave her in the Silence in the Library.

Bit of trivia. Everyone in the Pompeii family (except the daughter) was a real person in history not known if they ever escaped Pompeii. In Latin class we basically used them as a template for learning the language.

A fix point is typically a moment in time that is the origin or beginning of a bigger cause and effect that is meant for the future to continue. Like certain things can't be changed or the time will crumble on itself cause that change will cause another change and that change will cause another, and it eventually glitches time therefore it breaks. That's what a fix point is, Anomalies are things that the Doctor has the authority to change, that's the whole purpose and reason of the Time Lords. They are meant to keep the timelines clean from clutter A.K.A the anomalies. In the first season its explained as well when it comes to how he knows and how he knows so much when Rose looks into the heart of the Tardis. Both the Tardis and The Doctor can see and sense anomalies because the Doctor saw into the time vortex and the Tardis's heart is the time vortex, so they have this knowledge of knowing everything, but The Doctor is still not all knowing because then he would burn and blow up Like Rose would have if he didn't saved her... Which is why he regenerated in the first place. But The Doctor being a Timelord he has the knowledge of the time vortex within him but he doesn't have it unlocked all the time. But when he lands somewhere if there is an anomaly he can sense it and know immediately with minimal observation. Remember the Doctor even said Rose in that moment that, that is what he sees and feels all the time before kissing her and removing that power from her.

I think one reason why he can't change these events is because it exist in history books. It is a known event, it affected so many other places and people throughout time regardless of the cause. If he went back and just told them the volcano was going to explode, they would all leave, then there would be people existing who never did before. They would have kids with different people who would spread throughout the world, and half the people alive today would be erased from existence because their ancestors had kids with the Pompeii group instead of the people they originally were with.

Yes, but there is no suggestion that he was a part of it. If he went back and stopped Pompeii than it would no longer be a part of history.

9:38 -- It wasn't that the entirety of the heat need be neutralized by the water, but rather that its temperature was disrupted/dropped and damaged the Pyrovalian's(sp) life-force. That's why it fell apart. (They're supposed to be living in temperatures much higher than the normal surface of Earth, which is why it stayed in/near the lava.)

I'd imagine that any old time traveler or member of a sufficiently intelligent species could produce a sonic multi-tool like The Doctor's screwdriver, but without the tinkering of a Time Lord and the processing power of the Tardis, I don't think it'd be nearly as useful as his.

Wilfred Mott was just a random person selling papers in the Xmas episode but the guy that played Donna's father in her original episode died and they used Wilfred to fill in the role of her father figure. So he wasn't written to be her grandad but fell into the role after his first appearance.
