** The sequel fic ''[[Rich's Comix Blog|Forever Janette]]'' intentionally invokes the Timey-Wimey Ball by subverting the show's use of [[San Dimas Time]]—by letting the Fifth Doctor meet the Master from the Seventh Doctor's time. It doesn't say how this is possible, other than a passing mention that the two Time Lords are "off-phase" from a common Gallifreyan synchronicity. |

* The whole messy issue of [[Time Travel]] is [[lampshade]]d in ''[[Austin Powers|Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me]]'' when, after Austin starts to get bewildered by all the possible paradoxes his traveling into [[The Sixties]] involves, Basil jumps in with "I suggest you don't worry about that sort of thing and just enjoy yourself", and then turns pointedly [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|toward the camera]] and remarks "[[MST3K Mantra|and that goes for you all as well]]". Much self-contradictory timey-wimeyness ensues since, as Mike Myers puts it in his DVD comments, "our theory of [[Time Travel]] is that [[Time Travel]] works [[Rule of Funny|however we need it to work]] for each particular scene's joke." |

* ''[[Back to The Future]]'' has different things happening to the hero as the past is changed. Read the timeline for the trilogy at [http://backtothefuture.wikia.com/wiki/Back_to_the_Future_timeline this page] if you have any questions about how it works. There isn't a single concern here that isn't covered there one way or another. |
