( TV: The Parting of the Ways) This was called the "burden of the Time Lords" by the Tenth Doctor, who attempted to explain to Donna why he couldn't prevent Vesuvius from erupting or save the people of Pompeii. The Time Lords knew which points in time were "fixed", ( TV: The Fires of Pompeii) which the Ninth Doctor described as a maddening experience. ( TV: The Fires of Pompeii) When asked about how he knew what moments were fixed, therefore not able to change, and what moments were not fixed, therefore leaving them open to change, the Twelfth Doctor merely said "I know when I can, I know when I can't." ( TV: Dark Water) ( TV: The Waters of Mars)įixed points in time, or temporal nexuses, ( AUDIO: Forever Fallen) were moments in the space-time continuum at which events were set in stone and could never, ever be changed, no matter what, with dire consequences if such a thing happened. The Tenth Doctor consoles Adelaide Brooke, telling her about her role in human history even the Daleks didn't dare tamper with fixed points.
