    Subject: The Power of Three

    Why didn't the Doctor travel back a few days to just before the cubes
    appeared and just wait around to watch them appear? After all, they appeared all around the world; it's not as if he had to meet himself or change any history to watch them appear, or to even watch them appear several times.

    And how can there not be a single molecule's difference between them, yet
    the Doctor doesn't know what's in them? Is he comparing surface molecules only?

    And when someone's heart stops, don't they have to be revived within a
    certain period of time, of which this obviously was too long?

    (Also, I wonder why the aliens that say that human beings are an infestation never seem to go after Daleks or Cybermen. If any race is an infestation
    it's them.)

    They do - all the time - but the Doctor normally has no need to get
    involved in such struggles.

    Yes, that was the one thing for which I found it hard to suspend my
    disbelief.
