* If the human race doesn't start exploring the rest of the galaxy (never mind living there) until the time of Adelaide's granddaughter then how in the world could humanity have built the space Titanic and had it almost crash in 2008? I don't think we hear anything about it being a time-travelling ship. Did humanity happen to coincidentally evolve on two different planets far away from each other and one of them discovered the rest of the universe before the second one? |

** Humans didn't build any such thing. It was built by a race of [[Human Aliens]], and hardly the only ones; most are from the classic series, granted, but the Time Lords blend into human society just fine, noting that humans look Time Lord rather than the other way around. I think it's stated (in the [[Expanded Universe]]) that the Time Lords caused the humanoid template to spread across many sentient races. The Titanic's passengers hail from the planet Sto, and lived far away enough that most didn't know anything about the Earth. |

*** Human aliens and indeed most aliens in the Doctor Who setting are derived in some form or fashion from humans. Including Gallifreyans. Now, remember what Gallifreyans are good at, and realize that at some point humans developed technology that explains this question. |

* So the hosts are loyal to Max Capricorn, but once Capricorn is dead they switch their allegiance to...the Doctor? Why? He makes some reference about being the "highest authority" sans Max, but it's not really explained. If anything, Alonzo should be in charge now, because he's actually a crewman. |
