Thanks  thommck and Arbutus.  Yea, I guess it all works out easily enough if you can just deflect stuff into multiple time streams. 😀 Those nasty lil’ paradoxes work out much better that way.

Amazing discussions here. You guys are seriously smart people when it comes to Dr. Who.

The one simple thing I can’t wrap my head around is; If Clara gave the toy soldier to a young Doctor, how did it wind up in Rupert’s room. Since it’s been seemingly in the possession of the Doctor as he grew up.  Is this just a paradox?
