Are council flats like, the English version of the projects?

Hand-bots: way more scary than I thought they were going to be. Also, was secretly hoping for fulfillment of menage a trois jokes and consistency in paradoxes the TARDIS is capable of sustaining.

Didn't rebuilding the TARDIS as a paradox machine take a substantial amount of time, IIRC?

That and it was technically no longer a TARDIS either, since the only thing it could do was sustain the paradox.

And it was killing the Tardis.

I'm glad they got rid of Old Amy, they were dangerously close to giving Amy actual character development and thank goodness they pulled away from that edge.

Also, she was all old 'n' shit.

And Rory wouldn't have had enough quality time with her before she got even older!

Won't someone think of Rory?!

Obviously decisions on the very existence of a person should hinge on their significant other.

Huh. Wow, for an episode that started out pretty well, I sure was filled with rage by the end! Impressive, I thought I'd stopped taking this show so seriously.

Oh well. At least Rory wasn't to bad. sure, he didn't do much impressive (Aside from calling out the Doctor, that was kinda fun), but he also didn't make things worse with future!Amy by pointing out he'd waited much longer than 36 years when she was in the Pandorica without going all 'Hate everything now' mode.

Though the paradox thing, I dunno. There's been two Doctors in the Tardis without too many problems. And back when Rose went back to see her father die it didn't kick up a fuss about there being two of her around... That big machine was for a paradox on a pretty big scale, too. Y'know, going back and slaughtering your ancestors, that sort of thing.

...I know, I know. I'll stop trying to make it make sense. *Sigh*

The only time there's been a second Doctor which would be a paradox is when the Tardis has met itself in a previous time stream, a previous incarnation has turned up. It's possible in that case that it was sustained by the Time Lords, since that is what they're meant to do. Maybe though, the rules are just different for Time Lords.

It's not made clear though, when something would require Time Lord intervention and when the would universe rectifying itself; such as with Rose going to see her Dad and causing a paradox where winged beasts ate everyone involved in the paradox until it was fixed.

Also, the Paradox was made by destroying all of the TARDIS' primary functions. Technically, he was probably being honest about it being possible, but it'd be pointless, because they'd be trapped in that facility with two Amys.
