ITA, re: the rules here making more sense than with Moffat's stuff, especially in the gd Christmas special Although I always wondered why it was not a problem for Ten and Donna to save that family in the Pompeii epp when it was such a big deal here...
1. From a purely plot perspective, what do you make of the paradox? How does it fit into the larger Doctor Who mythology, especially since in recent series we’ve heard the mantra “time can be rewritten”? Well, if Rose had saved her father, who's to say she'd meet the Doctor in the basement of Henrik's in order to be able to save him? Her life would be totally different. As for the "time can be rewritten" thing... well, they've been very selective about how that works, haven't they? Personally, I prefer this type of paradox to the muddled storytelling of the more recent series.
2. Why does Rose decide to save her father? How planned was it? What motivated her? Honestly, I think it's just as she said- she saw her father die in front of her, and the Doctor was always going around changing history. Why wouldn't she attempt to save her father's life? The Doctor hadn't told her anything about the dangers.
3. Much of the story centers on Rose and Pete’s relationship. How did you think it was handled in this episode? Do you think that it
