Fixed point in time is an invention of Moffit, I believe.
Actually I think the first time fixed points are mentioned in New Who is in Fire of Pompeii, right? I mean aside from Jack himself being a fixed point which...I still wish RTD had picked a different term. Calling both a person and an event the same thing muddies the issue for me. Anyway, I think fixed points are an invention of RTD rather than Moffat.
First time...? Methinks you do not know about the Dinosaur Invasion?
I'm pretty sure fauxkaren means the fans who are seeing an episode of Classic Who for the first time, not that she thinks this is the first episode ever or has the worst graphics. XD
1. The whole "would you kill Hitler" dilemma is a complicated one if you think about it in terms of the real world because obviously in the real world we don't know how time travel and that sort of thing would all work out. In this case though lol I found it frustrating to watch, since a) we know the whole serial is just going to establish that he DOESN'T do it, and b) I couldn't stop being like lOL WELL DOCTOR YOU'D'VE SAVED YOURSELF A LOT OF HASSLE IF OYU JUST DID IT. I think the problem with the Daleks as a villain is that they're so explicitly straight-up evil that it's like... I dunno, I can never really buy into the Doctor's "let's hold hands and make friendship bracelets" approach to them. What? No! Blast 'em out of the sky, they're ROBOT SPACE NAZIS. They are LITERALLY designed to be unredeemable. So like... whatever, the moral dilemma in any Dalek ep is really hard for me to get behind

I am forever bitter about the fact that everyone looked human. THEY NEEDED NAMETAGS OR SOMETHING. I had trouble keeping straight who was a Kaled and who was a Thal.
Sarah gets her new clothes in episode 5, at the same time that the Doctor gets the explosives and detonators to blow up the incubator room. Just after Davros's first taptaptap scene.
(From a Doylist point of view, she gets them because she was dressed like that in following serial, which had already been filmed, so they had to find an excuse for her to change clothes).

IF IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE POETIC IT WAS JUST CONFUSING
