Does that make sense?  |
It does, but I've already had this argument that if he knew he was going to save them, why did he need Donna to shout at him to do so? That's the only bit I don't fully get. Perhaps she convinced him and he saw that this was how history should play out? It wasn't a breaking of the rules, more of a slight bend, or perhaps it was a test, but it didn't look like it. Pompeii was a fixed point because of the eruption, maybe the stories of it came from the people he saved.
If I don't make sense, sorry, I always get confused with chaos theory in time-lines.
