"apropos of nothing much (Doctor Who)"
 
   I think out of all of it that I've seen (which is basically everything up to the end of the 11th Doctor's tenure), my favorite little bit of post-Zero Hour new-formula Doctor Who is one of the tiny Night and the Doctor mini-episodes from series 6, in which Amy is stressed out because she remembers both contradictory versions of her timeline, and the Doctor explains that this is in fact perfectly normal.

"The thing is, Amy... everyone's memory is a mess. Life is a mess. Everyone's got memories of a holiday they couldn't have been on, or a party they never went to, or met someone for the first time and felt like they've known them all their lives. Time is being rewritten all around us, every day. People think their memories are bad, but their memories are fine. The past is really like that."

   The time is out of joint, as the bard once wrote.

If, indeed, the past is being rewritten...

...well, I kinda wish I had some parts of the old timeline.

Where Alph, the sacred river,
ran
Through caverns measureless to
man
Down to a sunless sea

   If the past is being rewritten, then I need to find the hack author of mine and have a "frank exchange of views".

And if you look at all the time travellers in the Whoverse; it's mostly the Doctor's fault.
