*** Line eater, line eater, where are you? ***

In several recent postings, people have pointed out the various 
inconsistencies that have crept into story lines and "details" regarding
TARDIS operation, etc.

One class of "inconsistencies" which I find to be particulary enjoyable
involves the effects of the Doctor's actions on universal history, and
his firsthand knowledge of the causes of these events. In particular, in
"Castrovalva", the TARDIS hurtles off to EVENT 1 (Hydrogen Inrush), which
as we all know leads into the BIG BANG. Yet, in "Terminus", we find out 
that the big bang was caused by an alien ship automatically jetisonning
its unstable fuel!

He seems to never know about his interaction, even in cases when it seems
that he should; maybe he forgets? 

If you don't watch all of the episodes, you might miss those little things,
so it makes the show much more interesting. I find that because of some
of these inconsistencies, the show actually gets MORE enjoyable for me and
lets me ignore the little ones like the TARDIS spinning in space.
